HYPOCRISY AS A WAY OF POLITICAL LIFE


UNLESS WE VOTE FOR CHANGE, 
IT WON'T GET ANY BETTER

Submitted to Shelton Blog by Doug Sayan   Mason County Progressive

In a recent candidate forum, Tim Sheldon, candidate for county commissioner, described himself as a "kind of Jack Kennedy, Harry Truman Democrat". This was by far his most disingenuous statement about his sordid political career.

In your wildest dream, can you imagine Jack Kennedy or Harry Truman on a street corner openly campaigning for Dino Rossi or George Bush like Tim did in past elections?

Sorry Tim, but neither Jack Kennedy nor Harry Truman would condone such a blasphemous characterization of their political careers.  Not even in his most irreverent moment would Harry Truman justify reducing publc safety officers by offering to welcome miscreants to Mason County with a public promise of a "hot lead enema".

When hypocrisy has become a way of political life for a candidate, you can expect to encounter most anything except integrity. 

Stay tuned.  Unless we vote for change, it won't get any better.

  1. Well done, Doug, you nailed it!

    God help us in Mason County if our Commissioners after the election next Tuesday are Tim and Terri -- our county could not survive such a team of corporate tools... perpetually in litigation because they know best.

    Talk to your friends Mason County voters, be sure they are not voting to take our county to a whole new level of contamination and pollution.

    For clean air and water, and retaining the beauty of our fair community, it is imperative that we replace Tim Sheldon, and that we never let Terri Jeffries have a turn at the helm!!

    Vote as if your lives depend on it, and the lives of the next seven generations of Mason County residents -- because they do!
