VIDEO OF CARRIER IN MONTGOMERY FOR FLORENCE CITIZENS

We can thank Scott for a great job. The rest of the clowns in the circus well, nuff said! SwindleMaster

Thanks Swindle. Everyone I know is behind Scott.
I wish he would run for Mayor. He would have my vote.

I told you he is good looking and smart. I wish he would run for PRESIDENT !

I think Mayor or State Senate would be a good start.

The only response to that is "GREAT JOB." Even all you detractors have to admit it. The proof is in the pudding. For Scott's many friends it is confirmation of what we already knew. Go get 'em Tiger!

I think I'm in LOVE!

I like the way he stands up to all those CROOKS & CRONIES in city hall like Bobby Irons.

Me too. He has nerve and courage to go along with his other "attributes." !!!!!

I wonder why our joke of a mayor did'nt go to Montgomery and fight for us.

because he(Irons) has nose problems,, its stuck too far up some certain dark body areas of the local cronnies.

AttaBoy Smurph! Cronnies like Neese.

I heard the "mayor" went with SEDA group and had a fancy lunch at the Capital City Club in Montgomery where they sit around and tell each other how great they all are and congratulate each other for nothing. Bobby Denton and Tammy Irons, etc. show up and more of the same. The whole usual suspects are there and they play big-shot and leave accomplishing nothing but feeding there bellies and egos. This while Scott is actually over at the state house and governor's office WORKING, lobbying for us. SEE VIDEO.We do not need any more paid contract lobbyists, that is what elected officials are for. Scott is the best lobbyist we have in the area. He has worked many state capitals and D.C. He has a MPA & BA (MPA, Master of Public Administration, and a BA in Political Science) I checked this out and got it straight from the horse's mouth. Scott is nauseated by the big-shot-itis and phoniness of that crowd and decided to skip the lunch and actually WORK. He talked to the Gov, the Lt. Gov, testified before legislative committees, and worked the halls. The results speak for themselves. THAT is how it's done.

I agree.

At one time I was naive enough to actually HOPE that the reporters and editor at the TD MIGHT read THEIR own newsboard. After the last few Goens op-eds supporting his "buddy" Forrest Wright and SEDA along with all that goes with it (Chamber of Commerce, Bobby Irons and pals, RSA and Bronner) I now know that the opinions expressed on this board are being ignored. SO, just to add fuel to the fire that I started with the "reporters" of the TD some 5 years ago, I emailed the link to the video to the entire staff! Made my day! THE DOG

Good for you Dawg!

Hey Socrates thanks for the video dude. At last someone will fight for us.

What a difference real leadership makes. Wow.

Watch the video. It speaks for itself.

Every voter must see this video. Go to top, first post and open it and watch it. Do it now.

I thought you would like it.

I like the video. Great change of pace from all the CRONNIES in city hall

Well I wasted SIX quarters for a paper copy again this Sunday. I did notice in Goens "op-ed" piece that he stated it was "the nature of reporters to ask questions" Of course there were the usual praise of RSA and SEDA BUT I thought it funny that the whole piece focused on mistrust of elected officials yet not one word of how people in the area feel about LOCAL ones. TOO CLOSE TO HOME and besides he can't afford to cut off his meal ticket. One bright spot, I think he actually IS reading some of this board because he usually just tows the SEDA and RSA line (and the Wise employee who was thanking Bronner for bailing out Wise was almost funny, considering that the whole thing is in violation of the agreement the company made when they came here, NOT COVERED!) SO, Goens has what I call "selective" reporting, NOW THAT IS IN THE TD NEWSROOM'S NATURE! Oh, another article showed Scott Carrier's radio broadcast, not one word of his work in Montgomery, another example of "selective reporting" What really chaps my hide is why do I waste 6 quarters every Sunday? The car needs washing and would provide more satisfaction and probably be more newsworthy than the TD! THE DOG

Hey Dog! It makes good packing for shipping stuff at Christmas time. There really are some people at the TD that try to have balanced reporting.

Jethro: I have agreed with everything I have read that you posted EXCEPT that LAST SENTENCE! For one, there really ARE NO true reporters at the Times Daily. There are a few up and comers who start at the bottom of the food chain with the New York Times Newsgroup and first hit the TD, then there are the ones like Palmer, Russ Cory and Goens who started when it was managed locally and sort of follow whatever the current leader tells them to print. Then there are the "fluffers" like Sherhonda Allen and that creepy Baptist spinster who do their puff pieces for filler. Other than that, this is a training paper for the NYT newspaper group and the "old timers" are secure and scared they will lose their jobs so there isn't any real investigative reporting. I KNOW! THE DOG

You may have a point.

I haer a lot of people talking about how Scott appeals to so many different people. He defies labeling and you can't put him in a box. Men like his toughness and straight talk, women like his caring attitude for real people (plus he is SO cute!) African-Americans like him because he fights the establishment and fights FOR the people, not against us, and he is REAL, young folks like him because he is forward thinking and is for progress, older folks like him because he respects them and they have the wisdom to know a good one when they see it, family people, parents, middle-agers, city employees, regular working people, policemen, firemen (men and women) all like him. Large segments are favorable to him and it cuts across every demographic. The insiders and cronies always want to dismiss him and write him off but to do so is stupid. Scott likes the underdog role and palys it to perfection. He is easy to underestimate but hard to beat. If his detractors and opponents don't think so just wait and see. I would hate to be you. Scott Carrier will clean your clock. Many, many people will rejoice. I can see it now. It makes me feel better just thinking about it.

Me Too.

Scott handled that like a pro. Leadership is what it is. It is kind of inspiring actually. Better than what we usually get, that's for sure.

thanks for all the support for scott, there is a good chance that he may run, but if he does you need to be there to help, by putting up signs,passing out letters and so on. scott would be e great asset to florence and north west alabama. keep all the talk about this up and it will get more momentum.i am a freind of his and it is on his mind only because so many people are wanting fair representation for once .UNLIKE irons,, was he to good to fight for the working man???????? well thanks again he really, really is flattered by all of your support... thanks for being active in you area. tony quillen.

Thank you for the postings. We all support him.

That Scott Carrier is a fighter. He and Angie Pickens are the only ones fighting for us.

I wish he would run for mayor.

ScottFor Mayor'08! That sure has a nice ring to it!

As far as pure popular appeal I will take Scott and his chances over anybody else's including the mythical you know who. Scott is very popular and righfully so. As he says "the right people like me, and the right people don't."

The city of Florence needs real jobs and leaders the people can believe in. The thing about Scott is that he is working hard on both of those things. He cuts through the baloney better than most and people respect it. I do.

Scott is like my son. I just love him, he makes me feel better just hearing him talk. I am an old lady but I agree with that young Jessica girl who thinks he is good-looking too. I better get off here, I'm blushing!

Uh-Oh!

WOW!

You are making me blush Eleanor!
