I don’t know if you recall Glenn, but I predicted back some years that if the climate in this area continued (anonymous character assassinations, libel, slander, stalking) you would run the decent candidates right out the races. Who in their right mind, with even a shred of common decency or self-respect, would consider submitting themselves or their families for destruction to the dirtballs and slimes in this community who have hijacked the public discourses (those dirtballs includes that vile bald creature you seem to prop up at every opportunity and the queen via the use of her unstable eunuch/husband.) Since all politics are local this era of personal destruction politics has permeated every level of government and the likes of these local scumbags has hastened this condition. I predicted that ultimately we would be left with the candidates who care very little about what anyone thinks of them and as such care very little about what their constituents think in general, so between the hostile climate and horrendous economic condition of the area you should be happy you have anyone remotely descent running for any office.

I have nothing but encouragement for women seeking public office--I find it disturbing that all the potential council candidates are male (because the queen isn't running). But...in my opinion...Liz Randol was not a competent or well-liked chief of staff, she left the treasurer's office under pressure, she was pushed out by Kathleen Kane in record time, and she is only running for mayor because she was apparently told at the Volpe get-together that there would be no county commissioner seat to pursue in 2015 and she had no chance to be elected county executive.
I'll wait to see some sort of long-range platform and goals (nothing even resembling vision at this point), but from my experience she is all flash and no substance. That said, I'd like something more definitive out of Courtright as well.
Funny Glenn, you didn't mention her ass, her religious (or lack thereof) beliefs or sexual orientation. What's wrong with you? By the way, I'm surprised that one of Joe's toadies didn't post "Witch!" in the DD thread.
On a serious note, I think I know what we'd get out of a Courtright administration...namely nothing new. He's a cross between Janet Evans & Gary DiBileo. Ms Randol has the opportunity to bring some new thinking to the office. Now she has to actually articulate some ideas, but at least the potential is there, which is better than nothing.

Ah, Miss Randol. While I'm certainly in favor woman in politics, and Scranton having a woman Mayor, Randol isn't it. In the past few years, she has bounced around like a ping pong ball from job to job...although she says she was looking for a better position. That's what most folks do in their twenties, not their late thirties/early forties. She has the spewed the usual rhetoric about job creation, focus on neighborhoods, trying to hold the line on taxes, etc., but has not stated any plan on how she could accomplish her goals.
It's believed she is controlled by Virginia Doherty....and I don't think Scranton needs four more years of that game plan.
"He's the right choice over this well-speaking, crack-munching, insult to all of us."
I'm looking for someone to defend that one. It reminds me of why I question anyone would be a part of his nonsensical, homophobic, hate-filled bull$hit. And yes, I'm referring to you Glenn. Whether you will vote for Ms Randol isn't the point here...hell people should question her work experience (and that of anyone else running for public office). But that's far different than tolerating rampant homophobic slurs on the part of this so-called "man". Am I over-reacting? No...I prefer to think of it as being a preemptive strike.
Yes Attorney Cashuric, Joe's stench latches on to you like dog-$hit on a lawyer's loafer, and you knew this was coming the moment she announced. You and dirt-bag are the only one's posting in that thread under your real names. I challenge you to call Joey out on the homophobic slurs. It can be a as simple as...
"...look a$$wipe, enough with the gay slurs..."
...of course you don't have to call him "a$$wipe"; "dirtbag" works just as well.

I didn't catch that one. Well, I certainly wouldn't call him out because of pressure from here. However, as somebody who supports gay marriage and believes in laws against discrimination (I guess that's what conservatives call "that gay agenda"), I will definitely rebut during my lunch break.

I don't care what motivates you Glenn, but the homophobic Bull$hit needs to be called out for what it is. Period. It adds a special stink to the an already funky message board.
We agree, by the way, on the issue of "gay rights"...or as I prefer to call them, "human rights".

We won't want to you to lose your position directly behind that dirtball.... kissing his ass. However, as somebody who supports gay marriage and believes in laws against discrimination (I guess that's what conservatives call "that gay agenda"), I will definitely rebut during my lunch break. You call posting "The focus should be on her job history and tenure at the sewer authority instead of on homophobia and outright sexism" Rebutting? Wow!! You sure are a bad ass....Joeyboy must be quaking in his shoes after that tongue lashing.
Why get nasty about it? I don't know what you expected. How much longer do you think this message board is going to last? In six months it will be like having a board called "CorcoranDeceit". Bygone era.

I found your comment “Well, I certainly wouldn't call him out because of pressure from here.” offensive...so sue me. You have been (incorrectly) predicting that boards demise for sometime now.

You'll get over it. I don't think I've been incorrect. It's kinda like shouting into the wind at this point. People are going to do what they want to do in this county and not suffer much in the way of consequences.
I know you two are having a private argument here, but since I'm not privvy to Doherty Deceit (banned about 6 months ago), I assume they are saying Randol is gay.

She is definitively not gay. She likes men.
I knew there was something I liked about you Balko (the above and the time you said "The dog complies..."). As for Liz Randol, well as usual Joe & toadies treat facts like they were Depends...best changed often.
