There's a bit more to it than that, isn't there? Charged with 15 felonies, plead guilty to 2 charges of obstruction to avoid prison, then he resigned in disgrace.

Yea, He was a good Sheriff. I worked for him for 6 years at the department, he just stepped on the higher ups toes and they were out to get him.
Super 15 y.o. FReep and kudos to the parents also!
I think that if I met someone like the county chairman, I would feign agreement with all his arguments and tell him how much I liked Fahrenheit 911.
I would also tell him that I wasn't registered to vote and would not register or vote. Why bother? After all, the Dems have told us repeatedly that all votes were not counted, that the fix was in, that the system is so corrupt, that the GOP was fixing the vote counting machines.
In other words, just accept their paranoid and delusional arguments and say they are the ones who convinced me NOT to vote. I would love to hear their arguments and see their frustration.
PS. Hope to FReep with you and yours in NC again or sometime in DC. Sorry that a medical emergency prevented me from FReeping with you and your husband and kids in DC last July.
How proud you must be!
Also last Saturday I watched the Auburn UT game on TV. Plenty of the students wore orange "W" stickers, even on their orange painted bodies. No sKerry stuff. Of course East TN is solid Republican country and has been for over 140 years.
See what the other kids are getting up to while you're on vacation?
Great job -- FReep On!
Well, we will be taking my two boys to the NC State fair next Friday and I can't wait to see how the ratio is there.
I have told this story before, but I don't think I have told it here.
My wife used to teach at a school with a BIGTIME lib. He was real proud that he "worked" on whiplash Johnny's campaign to unseat Lauch. Well, each year the 8th grade went to the State Fair. Lib-boy would tell all of his students that he would give them extra credit for every Republican bumber sticker, flyer, button, etc. they could collect. Before they would get on the bus to go home, he would have them throw it all in a box and he would toss it in the nearest dumpster. He said every item he collected was one less item in the hands of a potential voter. Here's the kicker: Not only did he NOT teach anything related to politics (math), but he also insisted that NO kid tell thier parents, mainly because this was a heavy Republican area of the county. All of the teachers knew about it, as did the administration, but no one said a word to him. Thank God my wife got out of that school & into a good one where they actually let kids pray!
If I see him next week, I will make sure to alert the GOP folks to his tactics.
Absolutely. Although where I live (People's Democratic Republic of Austin) it's über-lefty but where my family lives in a rural county it's refreshingly "Bush Country".
Funny you should ask.
A couple weekends ago there was a downtown street fair in the city I live in that is west of Columbus.
We got there an hour after it opened and I stopped by the local Republican club tent. They only had a few Voinovich bumper stickers and brochures left over. I asked if they had any "W" materials, and the folks at the tent said they ran out in about 45 minutes.
A while later I saw the Dems table, and they had a boatload of bumper stickers and the like, with a few hippies at their table.
I enjoyed meeting both of you in Fayetteville earlier this year.
I sincerely hope that "SC SandboxFox" makes me as proud as you must be as she gets older.

I believe that in the case of Dems (to whom Taxdeduction1 was talking) most of their "facts" are just opinions, and very bad ones at that.
Good going Taxdeduction1.

Old North State Chapter - The Next Generation!
He resigned to keep from putting his family through the scrutiny of our liberal media, because as rough as the charges sound, they were pinty anny junk, that every politician in America does on a routine basis. He was a good man, with the same conviction to do right as our president does, but he stepped on some higher politicians toes and they vowed to get him, no matter what it took!! Nothing was ever proven!!
Armed with words and facts, conservative kids are kicking liberal 'RAT butts. TR/Huber - what a great kid you have! TD1 - You go, girl! (PS: Please excuse the language ;-)
The GOP booth at our county fair was a hoppin' place too! They always put us back-to-back with the dem booth. Lots of folks stopping by our booth for signs and buttons - and more than one democrat either switching to Republican or, at least, announcing that they were democrats voting for Bush! It was great! The dem booth was kind of lonely! YUK YUK!!
Since then, our local university has come back into session. Very liberal profs, of course, preaching the liberal line to the students. I've seen more sKerry/Edwards signs popping up,
But still lots of Bush/Cheney signs as well.
I'm with you, there. Hege was ousted unjustly.
This comment was supposed to be from me. (I forgot TD1 had logged in.) TD1 doesn't even know who Hege is. LOL (I think.)
Sorry. I can't agree. An honest man may state that "Gone With the Wind" is the greatest movie ever made, but another honest man may believe it to be "Citizen Kane." Neither can be stated as fact.
Equally, an honest man can have an opinion regarding something that is based on inaccurate and/or incomplete information; for instance believing that John Kerry is a war hero because said honest man hasn't been exposed to "Unfit for Command" or the Swiftboat Veterans ads.
Opinions are by pretty much by definition subjective, whereas facts are by definition objective. If you don't recognize that, you're paving the way for a lot of unresolvable conflicts.
Dont have a clue who TD1 is??
