"and so the end is near, and now we face the final curtain ..."
Twenty-four hours left to the first round. Who will be the two? Hopefully the terminally embittered will find solice and stop carrying on as the hopelessly clueless. This blog was started as an exchange of important information and ideas. What we have wound up with is an anonymous way to insult your neighbor. Beam me up Scotty ....

Sams - Back to Medicine!
ROY FOR MAYOR...THE RIGHT CHOICE, THE ONLY CHOICE...
Well stated. Thank goodness the election is tomorrow. I truly hope the runoff is conducted on higher ground.
Bloggers, please stick to positive statements about your candidate and say nothing of the opponents. Let's prove we are good, decent people.
Now, who has the best get out the vote machine?
mr. reality check said...
"LOL hahaha. Is Mrs. Mayor 6 feet tall with a big goddamn penis?"
If SAMS wins she will be....
Wow, what strategy.
My opponent is an accomplished success in his profession and an effective advocate of his clients.
Delores, you've convinced me.
Jacques Roy for Mayor!
sams won't win, but he will make the run off.
Key word being RUN-OFF. He will be run off from politics.
nope, he is in the run off. roosevelt, sams, delores, fuller, roy will be the order.
Congratulations to all of the candidates who have stayed above this Brewer/Roy crap. Maybe we will get a mayor with some class.
sams has been a gentleman and a scholar through out this ordeal, and it will translate into him being in the run off.
This last week of this race has been disgusting. Mud-slinging has no place, and Mr. Roy was the first to start this mess. Attacking one's family is beyond reprehensible. I believe that Delores should have only defended herself and her family, but not have fallen into the mud-slinging also. If Delores did something wrong, would not the Ethics Board have done something about it? Let's be civil on here and talk about what our candidated plans are for Alexandria, and not talk against the other candidate.
uh,........ no.
I still say, Thank God someone exposes insider and family dealings with the City while their relative is in the upper echelon of City government. But for Brewere being in this election, we would have never known and this would have continued. I, for one, want to know what is going on in may City Hall. I want to, and have a right to, hear the good news as well as the bad. It is, perhaps, by too much politness that we have allowed Louisiana to become known as a corrupt banana republic nationwide. There is no way to make an informed decision on a candidate without knowing all the information, good and bad. Sams, on the otherhand, kept talking about corruption without exposing any of it.
Brewer, shady; Sams, all talk no show; and Roy lets us know the truth. Vote for Roy
Does anyone really believe that delores ran her push poll and was not going to attack Roy? Get real! Problem is Roy beat her to the punch because he knew she was going to attack him. Roy has not attacked her family; just pointed out the truth that they do business with the city while she was on mayor's staff. Most of these sanctimonious Brewer supporters would be howling if Roy was mayor and his family was involved in city business.
IS this Dave Grasham fella back on KSYL in the morning? I stopped listening back when he was on and didnt start again until he left. Its been a good show up until this week and he is back on the air. Arrogant and dominates EVERY single call. If anyone knows please post . This guy is horrible.
Well hold on to your hat. You've not seen anything yet if Roy were to get in. There was a lot of fodder there for Ms Brewer to pursue about Roy's family, but she chose not to. I think Roy pooped in his sandbox with all of these nasty mailouts. I couldn't stop laughing when I read in the paper Roy said Ms Brewer had gone negative first by having him attacked on a local blog. That's the flimsiest excuse to attack someone I have ever heard.
What is all of this stuff about DB's family involved city gov't? Everything I read about requires a bid process. This stuff is lowlife. For a while I couldn't make u my mind but I know for sure I won't vote for someone who practices this type of campaigning. This Roy guy lost his chance with me on this one.
I read what Roy said about it starting on the blog. PULEEEESE!! 80% of these bloggers on here are up Roy's butt.
I was for Roy, switched to Delores, went back to Roy, then he started the muck. Roy shot himself in the foot.
It wouldn't matter to me what Sam's has. He's so damn ugly....well, it just wouldn't matter.
so this is a beauty contest?
johnson 24%
sams 22%
delores 21%
roy 19%

That guy Sams is ugly through and through. Everytime I hear him speak it makes my skin crawl. He seems to be ugly to everyone. Everything is like a conspiracy to that guy. Face it, he's just creepy.
What a dumbass thing to elect someone on, their looks. Great if you running a beauty contest, downright idiotic in your electing a mayor. I'm not voting for Sams for various reasons, but his looks aint one of em.
biff, your dream poll is really messed up. brewer ahead of roy? sams ahead of both of them?
are we even talking about the same election?
Could someone explain to me how Delores Brewer wants to clean the city up, yet has 968 of her signs posted on Jackson between Macarthur and Texas?
Sams is not just ugly in his looks. Anytime I hear him talk, he's saying something ugly about someone else. That is one of the I would not be voting for him.
HELLO..........where have you been? This is an election dodo. That's what people do...put out signs.
"dodo" hehehe.... nice comeback.
Back to the blog from my break. Had to go take a SAMS. What's going on?
HEYY. I just found this blog. Pretty cool stuff.. What an election. Looks like this ROY guy just stepped in it though. A little of this stuff goes a long way. I think he just went over the edge in a free fall though. A lot of information on here. Don't know how much is credible. But hey, ROCK ON!!
oh, welcome to the jungle.
Does anyone find it ironic that Billy Gunn is the reporter who first wrote about Delores Brewer's role in the housing authority, her husband's insurance business, and her brother-in-law's appraisal business?
Yet today, he implied that referencing those articles in campaign literature is nasty. The very facts that Gunn reported.
I see, we weren't supposed to bring that up.
It was supposed to be swept under the rug.
I guess Mr. Roy didn't get the memo.

Sams
Hey, just found this blog. Pretty interesting stuff. Looks like that Brewer lady is lying about alot of stuff. She is in a free-fall like that other guy. Rock on.
God it's great to live in Pineville
Here's the real deal:
Roy 28%
Fuller 25%
It really doesn't matter where the rest of them finish.
Just got a look at the Myron Lawson democratic ballot: has Harry Silver as only council candidate listed in dist. 4 (Silver is republican), Hobbs listed as only candidate in Dist. 2 (both are democrates) and Jacques Roy as the only white candidate in mayors race. Myron is working real hard to keep his gang together.
johnson 24%
sams 22%
delores 21%
roy 19%
fuller 12%
to be honest, i feel comfortable with the sams, delores, roy order, not sure if fuller or roosevelt will be on top.
Some of you on this blog have been going on and on about how Delores Brewer is part of the "corrupt establishment" downtown. Well...get a load of this. Myron Lawson has just passed out his push cards and voting instructions for his cronies. Myron "The Snake" Lawson is supporting JACQUES ROY for Mayor and Harry Silver for Councilman. Now, who is part of the "corrupt establishment" downtown??? Come on people. What reason would the man you all have been berating for the past six months or more be supporting ROY for Mayor?
lol, myron has turned on his council buddies and is pushing jacques? that can't be good for jacques if this gets out.
What is this mess with Myron supporting Jacques Roy for mayor? I guess they make a good pair. It takes one to know one. That type of thing.
i just checked my sources on the myron thing. he had the push card in his hand. myron IS NOT endorsing roy. he has all five democrats listed. he is doing it as a democrat thing. so, another bogus post. look, to save time, if you have a question, just ask the mighty biff.
johnson 24%
sams 22%
delores 21%
roy 19%
fuller 12%
Holy Cow!!!!!! I don't care if he's doing it for his granddaddy. If Myron Lawson is supporting him I ain't voting for him period. Anyone that snake supports it's done for a reason and the reason can't be good. Wake up people!
Myron is a snake, but his card does not endorse Roy. It lists all FIVE democratic candidates.
Im gettin on the fog horn right now. Hurry, hurry read all about it. Lawson supports Roy. Grab yo wife, grab yo children and fo sho grab you money cause this is trouble.
Myron= Bridgette= Kelvin, and then Roy. Wow that is the most corrupt line-up ever. That is like the kiss of death.
Myron has his sites on maleable young virgin meat. Make sure to sleep on your stomach Jacques.
Speaking of Myron, I hope that everyone knows NOT to vote for him..Vote for SLATKIN
Whoever startedthe rumor about Myron supporting Roy is STUPID..Everyone knows that he and Delores have been friends for a long time and if he is supporting anyone, it Brewer...
Well how about Myron putting Roy on his sample ballot? I would never vote for Jacques now. Creepy.
Do you Roy bashers think you are fooling anyone with this " I was for Roy till he started slinging mud"
You were alway in DB's camp and still are. It is only mud slinging if the statements are untrue. Give me one untrue statement made by Roy. Just give me one.
OK. Roy said in open forum he was unaware the Gilchreasts had given him $7500 dollars representing 20% of his donations. Now there is a damn lie.
Only an idiot would believe the Snake would support Roy. You can't turn any body but fools with this trick Ken and Albin.
The polls must really be bad for Delores for them to try such desperate tatics.
You DB supports need to take some math courses. Since when is $7500 20% of $200,00.
The polls have been bad for Roy for a while. Why else would he resort to such overkill on the negative campaign material. I am really disappointed, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. He has turned out be a real dog.
At the time of the LIE, he had raised and reported 41 grand. Now you do the math, Einstein
I think so too. I was shocked at first that he would get Myron's support. Now that I've thought it over, I'm just damn mad that I fell for all of that. I could never vote for someone in cahoots with Myron Lawson
i repeat, you silly delores supporters. the push card does not endorse roy. it lists all five demo candidates for mayor. i support sams, and even i am getting sick of the brewer lies. she started out lying and is ending up lying. she is not fit to be mayor.
"OK. Roy said in open forum he was unaware the Gilchreasts had given him $7500 dollars representing 20% of his donations. Now there is a damn lie."
I could say that I know that the sky is green, but unless I can back it up, it's no good.
I know that the rumor that Myron is supporting Roy is another LIE put out by DB...Oh, I'm sorry I mean MIS-SPEAK
So you are saying that this statement is an example of "Mud slinging". I guess all the rest of us had the wrong idea about what mud slinging is.
Biff, I'd love to know who you are and why you are so enamored with him. Are you on his payroll? Or just that stupid and blind?
Secondly, why do you keep posting the same (bullshit) predictions? Do you think if you say it enough it'll come true?
NO, Roy said he was unaware of the Gilchreast donations. I said it represented 20% of his donations at the time. He surely knew about it and lied. After all, his signature was on the campaign finance report. Roy lied. End of story.
johnson 24%
sams 22%
delores 21%
roy 19%
fuller 12%
20% of $41,000 is not $7,500 it is $8,200 stupid.
If you are going to present facts at least get them right. But then fact never was DB suporters strong suit, they much pefer to present and defend lies.
What a big fake out. Myron's sample ballot has EACH of the democrats running for mayor on it. None of the boxes are checked in the mayor category. Ya'll are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Anon. 2:38 p.m. You jumped the gun and repeated rumors (or started one) before you got your facts straight. Myron's ballot has all 5 of the democratic candidates for mayor listed with no check mark by any of the names. Goofy.
"I couldn't stop laughing when I read in the paper Roy said Ms Brewer had gone negative first by having him attacked on a local blog. That's the flimsiest excuse to attack someone I have ever heard."
I had the same reaction.
Roy must also have someone he pays on this blog and others to counter everything that is said and to slam Delores and other canidates.
Delores is the right choice-- all this mudslinging- is just that- twisted facts.
May the best woman win!
Einstein, I rounded up from 18%. Either way, Roy lied about it and you know it and the blog knows it. As if someone wouldn't mention a f*cking 7500 donation to Roy. Get a grip.
hopefully, all here will reflect on the candidates, the campaign they have waged, and vote for sams.
"Anonymous said...
Do you Roy bashers think you are fooling anyone with this " I was for Roy till he started slinging mud"
You were alway in DB's camp and still are. It is only mud slinging if the statements are untrue. Give me one untrue statement made by Roy. Just give me one."
Friday, September 29, 2006 3:24:41 PM
No you mental giant, I was for Roy. But if JERKS like you are pulling for Roy, I certainly don't want to vote for him.

AMEN!! HE SIGNED THE DAMN REPORT, AND YOU DON'T THINK HE LOOKED AT IT????? I REALLY DON'T WANT A MAYOR WHO DOESN'T READ WHAT HE SIGNS.
Next time,Irecommend you not be so cock-sure when you demand the blog point out a Roy lie. Tee Hee. Becareful what you ask for.
Sorry Biff, but Myron don't list you if Myron don't love you. He listed Silver, a lieing sak-0-shit republican and left Lampert, a life-long democrat entirely off the ballot. He listed his co-conspiritor Hobbs but left Hickman, a life-long democrat totally off the ballot. Yo theory is bunk.
fool me. so listing all five democratic candidates for mayor is a roy endorsement? that dog won't hunt. and of course he puts down silvers and hobbs, his two blow buddies. hell, he tried to stop those two elections when he realized the two of them are facing an ugly butt stomping.
Well, OK
hopefully, all here will reflect on the candidates, the campaign they have waged, and vote for sams.
All of this last minute "I heard Roy did this" and "Myron is endorsing" is a lame attempt to influence the race. Trust me folks, this blog will not decide the outcome of the Mayor's race.
Having said that (and believing it), I sitll want to share with you the news I just got from a good source in Baton Rouge. Seems a state wide elected official has been doing tracking polls. He has recently included the Alexandira mayor's race in his polling. The rumor is that Roy has a good lead with Johnson coming in second.
Sorry if those are not your candidates. We will see if that is true!
"The rumor" is that Roy has a good lead with Johnson coming in second....... enough said.
i happened to be out in the woods yesterday and came across a wiccan convention. THE RUMOR was that red is in the lead, with CFS running a close second.

civil, that certainly is the safe and obvious call. can't really argue with it. Roy, and to a lesser extent delores mailed out a lot of grief, and how that will sit with joan and john q. public may very well have an impact on the race. i am betting it will. i am also betting that sams will pick up a goodly amount of black voter, who always under poll, and voila!

carolyn, i didn't see anything that wasn't factual in roy's fliers. what are you refering to?
listen, i am off to tunks. this might be fun and informative. this is after all anonymous. everyone list who their SECOND choice would be. i will start. you all know i am a rabid sams supporter. my second choice would be
just fooling. roy.
btw, before i head out to tunks, two things. slatkin! lampert!
i just saw sams' negative positive commercial, where he accuses brewer and roy of being part of some sort of weird, matrixy machine (?) and then claims that he's never gone negative and we should vote for him blah blah blah....
anyone hear about sams being mauled by his two campaign dogs yesterday????? apparently quite a scene.....seriously.
Roy said
While the chief of staff Delores bid for Alexandria Housing Authority position. Not true...
She bid for the position while she was in projects. Therefore, not against city charter.
C.C.
it's true. apparently one of the dogs was a roy plant, the other delores. two very nasty campaigners.
The final tracking poll numbers are in and the business cabal ain't happy campers. They had a preferred finish order that put Roy and Delores at the top two. Not so say the numbers. Please keep in mind that this final phone survey was done Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. By Saturday these numbers will be almost 48 hours old and in the election cycle, 48 hours is a lifetime.
In order to get the 300 positive responses and weed out the undecided, 521 calls were made. The phone numbers were chosen at random by computer. No demographic factors were considered except party affiliation. Race, age, and sex factors were not tracked. The poll is engineered to get raw data about voter opinion. Two questions asked, #1 What party are you registered with? and #2 If the election were held today, what candidate would you vote for?
Survey says...
Roy.........28.6%
Fuller......19.2%
Johnson.....18.9%
Brewer......13.1%
Sams........11.3%
CFS......... 4.5%
Hammond..... 4.4%
Please keep in mind that these numbers can change with a direct mail drop as late as Saturday mail delivery. Polls close at 8:00pm and a hit piece received at mid day could affect afternoon and evening voters.
Overall, the primary has been fun folks. best of wishes to you all and the candidates you support.
The feathers and bones have spoken
sooth. appreciate it. your posts are always informative.
sooth. are you saying 221 were undecided, or wouldn't say?
What the heck we gonna talk about when this is over?
Thank you Biff, however I ask...You did shower before headding to Tunks I presume. The stench from THREE separate piles of goat entrals will certainly reduce your chances with the ladies tonight...
Sooth
sooth, it's a little know secret that goat spleen is quite the babe magnet.
Biff, it is my understanding that the only responses which are counted are those which name a specific candidate. The numbers indicate that for some reason 221 calls did not get a specific candidate. Reasons include undecided, hang-ups, vote not available, etc...
Sooth
Spleen???? Really???? Hmmmm.. Any numbers as to the attractiveness to blondes? I always had a soft spot for blondes....With the exception of Brewer of course.
ahhhh, gotcha sooth. again thanks.
Biff I answered your question about Roy's misspeak..... No comment anyone?
C.C.
Carolyn, they cannot answer you. They don't have an answer.
carolyn, it stunk to high heaven whatever position she held. delores and her family have been oinking at the trough long enough. time for her to find a job in the real world. again, i repeat, when this is over, she will have spent 200 grand of her fellow oinks money for at best a fourth place finish. there is a God.
carolyn,
no one's answering you b/c it's a stupid, inconsequential question.
so what that DB was capital projects coordinator at the time?? either way, she was still in the upper echoleons of the randolph administration. it doesn't change anything.
there's your answer.
caroyln, THE FLIER SAYS "WHILE ON THE MAYOR'S STAFF, DELORES BREWER...." It doesn't specify a position. SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CAROLYN?
HUH?
THIS JUST IN: Today, John Sams viciously attacked by his own campaign dogs.
They bit him on the neck.
Think they smelled the shrimp poboys?
Carolyn, before "scooping" us with inconsequential semantics, perhaps you should read the flier which says "while on the Mayor's staff" (nothing about chief of staff), Delores brewer etc; please get a copy of the piece before lobbing out such unimportant distinctions; face the facts , brewer lied and all the parsing of her comments will not change the facts whether it was a little lie or inconsequential lie. The fact remains we teach our children not to lie.
The flier I received specifcally says and I quote ....
"While Chief of Staff, Delores Brewer formed a company and tried to get a lucrative contract with the AHA...."
Welllll ?
An employee can seek other positions. Her position as projects is not a problem under the city charter!!!
C.C.
Roy lied in his flyer about Brewer. Period. Two years ago while she was an employee of the city( not Mayor, not chief of staff) her brother in law was authorized by Harold Chambers and Kelvin Sanders to do some work for the city. She had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT- NO POWER TO STOP IT if she had wanted to-- Roy twisted the facts--i don't want a Twisted Mayor!!!!!
Roy is A Twisted Sister! Saw his group on Jackson Street-- I doubt if any of them were old enough to vote! I'd vote for Fuller or Sams before I'd vote for him!
Did any of you see the entire council meeting in regard to the secret meeting in Baton Rouge?
Something smells... that meeting was used to set her up!!!
Use your brains...
Myron Lawson wanted the meeting, usually closed door, open to news and on TV.
C.C.
How exactly did they set her up to tell a bald faced lie? If you take a lier and put her in front of a TV camera and she does her lier thing she ain't exactlly set up. She's just doing what comes natural to her. You seem OK with her being a lier and slightly upset with us for noticing. Strange. And maybe Myron know she was a lier and that's why he is supporting Jacques Roy - so there.
Thank you, Carolyn-- I thought the same exact thing--it was a set up--we all found out that ALL of the council members KNEW there had been a meeting and they all acted as if they were surprised ---
a Myron Lawson antic-- and young, naive Mr. Roy thinks he is going to control Myron and the rest-- guess again!
"so There" -- how old are you? Really? 19-20? you got a lot to learn and it shows!
Oh -- or you just one or Roy's paid attack people?
So There.........we teach our children not to do many other things also. Do you think your candidate forgot his teachings or did his parents fail to teach him right from wrong.
I fail to understand how everybody knowing the truth is a setup. All Delores needed was an opportunity and a microphone and she lied quite easily and naturally. Maybe that was Bridget's plan. To show everybody what a lier she was so they would vote for Jacques - Myron's choice for mayor.
See Carolyn, you are focusing on Delores's stupidity and ignoring her dishonesty. I think they deserve equal billing.
If someone asks you a question and you lie and they know that you are lieing that is not a setup or a trap. That, my dear Carolyn, is an opportunity.
Vote for Jacques. Myron is.
I do not condone liers!!!
I will ask again did you see the entire meeting...
Did you hear her ask the city attorney to speak up? For him to explain what she had been told?
Brains is what it takes to analyse and read between the lines, which I wish you had...
She knows first hand their inside manipulation and she has learned it the hard way.
She would make a fine Mayor if people would give her a chance.
C.C.
I teach my children the 9 Commandments. Me and Brewer leave out the one about bearing false witness. He husband hate the one about "Thou shall not steal" and they are undecided about coveting their neighbor's ass. Teach your children well.
I obviously lack sufficient "brains to analyze what's between the lines" so won't you help us. She is a lier. Many years ago Flip Wilson would always offer as a defense "the devil made me do it". Was it SATAN???
Brains are required!!!
Also, I have experience with these manipulating "Its our time" folks.
C.C.
"So There" and anon 7:36-- listen to yourselves-- how about the scripture "judge not yet you be judged"? Not to mention "glass houses"-- I am quit sure you are perfect. This is a race for a small southern town mayor-- not the fight for your immortal soul-- get a grip!
Shame on you both!!
I agree---- I have had enough of these Delores bashers-- she is a fine person! She is a real human being with feelings, and is dedicated to improving our city-- the human race can be very cruel to their fellow man.
Carolyn, you may not realize it but you are very dogmatic and preachy but you never say anything substantial. You are telling us to read between the lines and we don't see what you are talking about. Are you saying that Delores was tricked into lying? Are you saying that Delores was forced to lie. Are you say that either of these excuses the lies. Are you saying that truth doesn't matter. Instead of all of your bullshit declarations say something substantive and logical and meaningful. I really feel sorry for your frustration. Do you even understand the honesty issue?
Honesty....most definitly!!
The council meeting, if you remember, was based on the council members mad because they were not informed of the mayor, delores and k. Sanders meeting with the Baton Rouge lawyer.
It later was revealed they were informed of the infamous B.R. trip.
It seems to me some people have selective memory of that event.
Please read WE SAW THATS post in thread before this one began (One more week)
C.C.
I was tired of the DRAMA-RAMA and spent all day at Avoyelles Parish courthouse before drinking and gambling all of my money away before the crooks in Alexandria get a chance to steal it. I am now mentally prepared to see Marc Lampert, Darrel Hickman, and Myron Lawson seated on the city council and Jacques Roy and Roosevelt Johnson in a runoff for the mayors seat unless Roosevelt garners 7000 votes at which time he will be our next mayor. Roosevelt, I still want the cheif instigator slot. Everybody go vote. If you do not, all of your children will be born naked.
Welcome back, Spanky. Wondered when you would pop back up. I agree with your predictions on these races. Too bad about kevlar-coated Myron, though.
Spanky I pray your wrong.
The stats on voter percentages is
very scary.
Alexandria could be awesome. The Red River, Downtown could be a big
bonus if handled correctly.
C.C.
Harold Chambers (who gave Roy $500) hired David Brewer. Mr. Roy could have easily gotten the truth from CHambers if he really wanted to know it.
jesus, joseph and mary! i leave for a few hours and the channel goes to hell. liar. liar. liar. not lier lier leir. that aside, remember to vote for sams tomorrow. the best chance alexandria has to finish off the shadow government, and start us on a new path.
This past week has been busy for me and I was working on being patient to await the outcome as we have all done what we can until the voting is done tomorrow night. I guess my only hope and faith is that all Alexandrians will make the effort to vote. I will be at peace if we have good voter turnout because the will of the people will have been expressed whether I like all of the choices or not. Vote early, vote often.
spanky, i didn't want it to come to this. vote sams or i beat your ass.
From past experience Mr. Roy doesnt seem to be interested in the truth...
C.C.
I'd vote for Jesse Jackson over John Sams. Hell, I'd vote for MICHAEL Jackson over John Sams.
Does anyone find it ironic that the Gist firm was involved in the law suit with Delores' son. One of the patners in that firm is Trey Gist, the attorney for the Alexandria City Council.
Anoymous,
No C.C.
Biff, Roosevelt has promised me the cheif instigator slot. The good doctor wants that for himself, but I will sleep on it.
Carolyn - You can't make these people understand they have a mafioso type candidate. He tries to bully or shame people into voting for him. You have seen that he will go to any lengths to smear the leading candidate. You have made your point and made it well. I think you may have made a difference this evening.
you guys have gone crazy today.
and now we're seeing the really ugly side of this. mafioso candidate? lies about lies? it reeks of desperation, and ultimately, it's futile.
i can only hope that we will all remember what exactly we're voting for tomorrow.
we're voting for the future of our city.
we're voting for who is best to lead our city.
when the mud turns to dirt and the dirt is swept away, we're going to have to work together, no matter who is elected.
i hope that some of us still remember this, because all the innuendo, the falsities, the implications, and the misinformation only serve to distract us from making the right choice.
Brewer 24
Johnson 20

I agree. Let's get real. Most of this new information about Jacques Roy is totally inaccurate:
1. He was not specifically endorsed by Myron Lawson. Myron Lawson endorsed all FIVE Democratic candidates.
2. He is not a member of the mafia or a mafioso candidate. That's laughable. Really? You guys come out with this the day before the election, and we're supposed to take you seriously???
3. Jacques Roy does not employ any bloggers. You're probably hearing from people who have volunteered to the cause, because they believe in
him and his message.
4. Carolyn Cicardo, ma'am, one day you claim to be impressed by Mr. Roy's stance on the issues, the next day you call him a liar. My only conclusion is that you can't understand the English language. There's a difference between saying Mrs. Brewer was a member of the staff (which is what the flier actually says; go download it from the Town Talk) and saying she was Chief of Staff (a position she did, in fact, hold only months later).
It's been apparent from the very beginning, and now, you're making it even more obvious. If I were Mrs. Brewer, I would ask you people to stop-- which, I believe, is what she requested in today's Town Talk-- because you're making her entire campaign look like a pack of liars.
Amen. They don't just look desperate though... they're showing themselves to be BAD LIARS.
c.c.
Since you are so interested in everyone telling the TRUTH then enlighten me on something (albeit rather off the subject)....
During the whoule Mollette incident why didn't your husband, Chief of Police at the time, go to the hospital when APD men were dying there? Why wasn't he available to their families?
It is something I have wondered about, and I figured since we were on the subject of the truth I would go ahead and ask.
By the way...I was at the council meeting where D.B. lied. It was not a set-up. She got busted, panicked and l.i.e.d. plain and simple.
ROY FOR MAYOR!!
Sorry Dr. Sams, Jacques is our REAL change candidate.
You people bullied Roy all day long, when he and his volunteers were out doing work, and now, you're saying Roy's the bully???? HAHAHAH
He's not a bully. He's a winner.
ROY FOR MAYOR
They're just mad because Jacques Roy actually exposed the corruption that John Sams has been talking about.... and since they're part and parcel of that corruption, they can only do one thing, LIE LIE LIE.

That's right. She did say she was impressed with his take on the issues. Now, she's made up some fictional story about his flier because she can't read... and she's saying that Roy has a problem with the truth... No Carolyn, you have a problem with the truth.
You can't handle the truth.
Hehe.
Now now, let's play nice.
By now, everyone knows that Delores tried to get work from the housing authority, and if you have an honest bone in your body, you'd admit that this isn't right and we probably don't need this type of leader in our mayor's office.
What we're seeing is a last ditch effort on behalf of a heavily-funded campaign, the Brewer campaign, to besmirch and denigrate Mr. Roy-- who I guess she believes is her biggest opponent.
Funny.
Because if the latest tracking poll is true, John Sams, the other Republican is still polling in double digits. Brewer's mistake was not going after Sams when she should have.
If she had his votes, she'd be in the run-off, guaranteed.
It might happend that all the white canidates get shut out. Then their would a run off between only blacks. Then we could get all types of gov't funding and start paying 15% tax. Blacks vote for blacks. they have been waiting to long to have there turn
some white voters are going to get tire of the white bashing and give the race to a black canidate. THen alexandria would be a chocolate city of the north. Maybe we could get jobs on one the several new created levee boards
None of the black canidates are a mayor fields.

Actually, you don't have to try to hard to find something to "besmirch" your candidate with. He supplys us plenty of material. You can't base your total reputation on just the time period between when you announce your candidacy and election day. Albeit, there's plenty during that time also. Delores has been way too nice.
And what is wrong with that? I've got my seat on the bus as the Cheif Instigator in the Johnson Administration. Now you chilluns sleep tight while Spanky helps Roosevelt watch over the city as you sleep peacefully. I'm going to be at the booth @6:00am sharp to pull my levers.
I was really disturbed when the campaign went negative, but after taking the time to really think about it, I understand why this happened. The two leading white candidates are after the same votes, and Mrs. Brewer definitely has some questions to answer, questions that she has refused to answer. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, because I believe she's in this race for the right reasons.
However, Delores Brewer has refused to answer these questions. I thought about voting for Roosevelt after all of this stuff, but Roosevelt doesn't have a real plan.
Jacques Roy does. I'm voting for Jacques Roy, not because of the negative stuff, but because I believe he actually knows what he's talking about. He's highly educated. He's worked his butt off for this.
He's the only candidate who knocked on my door in Martin Park.
I was upset about the negativity, but after reading you Brewer supporters, I now understand what he was going up against.
I'm voting for Roy.
Amen! That's why Jacques was right about the blogs. You guys went negative. You hope people are paying attention, and when they do pay attention, you think it's ridiculous. No, people have paid attention to the Breweristas. They've proven themselves to be lying liars... and quite good at it.
A vote for Roy is a vote for the future of Alexandria.
In all seriousness, I am voting for Jacques because he does understand the legal divisions and functions of the Mayor and council and how imprtant it is for each one to play their proper role. I feel he does see the direction that we as a city need to move in and he will use the veto pen appropriately. I also feel that he will work with the council to fulfill the will of the people. I implore everyone that is registered to vote and make this one of the best turnouts in recent history. It is not a privelage, it is a duty, a civic duty that we as citizens are responsible for. Our success or failure as a city that can progress will be determined by the participation of the greatest number of citizens possible. It is not someone else's job. It is yours. Vote
One small vote for Jacques is one giant leap for Alexandria (to borrow a lunar quote).
I believe Roy would be the best bet against the "its our turn Bridget Brown gang" ALexandria by defult is still an old southern democratic town. The "power that be" will not vote for a white republican woman. Roy being a democrat will have some change of pulling the conservative black vote.
You are right Bolton, none of the Black candidates is a Clarence Fields. But they could be. All they need is a GED graduate with no training, no experince, and a radio speaking voice, as a sidekick.
Hell even a cameraman from KALB could be city council man at large and then run for mayor after only a few years in city gov't....................wait that really is happending. My fear is that if we elected a "it our turn candiate" We will be going back to fishing out of of the city pools again. Alexandria is at a crossroads we can become as big as lafayette or not
JACQUES ROY FOR MAYOR!
"I was upset about the negativity, but after reading you Brewer supporters, I now understand what he was going up against."
Wow. Couldn't have said it better.
Thank God someone finally informed Carolyn how to spell liar (sic lier). Maybe now, she can stop being one since Roy's mailouts clearly do not say Delores was chief of staff when she formed a company to do business with the housing authority. The skunk, metaphorically speaking ,made the point. Enough said!
"I was upset about the negativity, but after reading you Brewer supporters, I now understand what he was going up against."
Mayor's Race over...next topic: Sheriff's Race.
Billy Gunn always 6 feet up Slocum's a**.
Why doesn't he "expose" Slocum for the person he is?
I wonder what position Lamar might have been promised in the Roy administration should Roy win? Just wondering.
There are a lot of people that talk to Jacques that don't brag on it to make themselves appear important. Lamar is most important in his own mind.
Hey Spanky:
Get your ass out of bed and go vote. I went during absentee voting, so I can sleep late. Ha Ha.

What I should have said is I can get up, check the blog, let the dogs out, take my morning constitutional, and go back to bed. Sleeping late is obviously out of the picture.
Hmmmmmmmm
Wonder how many voters went to the early LSU game and won't vote because of it? I'm worried that they may not have absentee voted if they didn't realize the game was gonna be at 11:30 a.m. and now are blowing off the election.
"I wonder what position Lamar might have been promised in the Roy administration should Roy win? Just wondering."
Jacques hasn't promised anyone anything.
For the record, promised nothing, expect nothing.
When I wrote about speaking to Jacques, it was always in direct response to a pertinent question, not as a matter of "bragging."
C'mon guys.
Vote today!
No matter who you are supporting.
Vote!
Spanky,
It's Chief, not Cheif.....
Someone please correct me if my conclusion is wrong:
With reference to the high moralisitc comments the young Mr. Brewer posted in defense of his parents in the lawsuit I think I understand that:
Young Mr. Brewer was of the age of majority and not a ward of the parents. Other than the the value of the Brewer vehicle the Brewer parents had no financial "dog" in this fight.
In order to enrich themselves at the expense of insurance company the Brewer parents filed a lawsuit claiming loss of love and affecion, services and affection of their son.
Young Mr. Brewer stated: The family filed a lawsuit for injuries and damages. Funny, the official record does not support his contention.
Apparentl, most importantly in the skill of "mi-speak, the apple does not fall far from the tre.
And wit reference to Young Mr. Brewr's question concerning what is considered a handicap lossing the ability to keyboarding and speak will result to a degree in the inability to lie - don't know if that is a handicap or no.
We haven't hears from Scarlet today. Do you think that she dug a hole and jumped in.......If so I bet her candidate wants to jump in with her so Roy can cover them with dirt...
not enough space to finish
Cpl Rachal----Officer of the year---What has this city come to??? He had a drug dog...HAD being the most important word here..Ask him what happened to it?? See if he will lie, lay, or lei??
Lamar will continue to be the administrations official knob polisher and brown noser
Just Joking.
It is almost noon and the Brewers are nearing cocktail hour. Does anyone want to take bets on whrther or not John can make it till the polls close without a drink? Maybe we can come up with a Super Bowl type board!
I have been watching this blog for awhile. I am voting for Roy because I think that he is the best man for the job.
I was going to vote for Brewer because I am a friend. She is a good lady. i don't understand why she did not just own up to her lie and go on.
I believe that has ruined her chance to become mayor. I am deeply sorry for her..
"biff said...
i just checked my sources on the myron thing. he had the push card in his hand. myron IS NOT endorsing roy. he has all five democrats listed. he is doing it as a democrat thing. so, another bogus post. look, to save time, if you have a question, just ask the mighty biff."
Biff, What does COCK taste like?
?
So .....Scarlett, IF...i said IF Jacques is in the runoffs and Brewer is not, are you Brewer people gonna support Roy?
u asked for it. what a moron. i made at least 10 posts yesterday saying myron was NOT endorsing roy. that dick in your mouth is affecting your thought process.
Yes, I believe that if Brewer doesn't get in a runoff and Roy does, most of her people will support Roy. They'll spend a little time getting over being pissed about the negative media, and then realize they have no choice but to give Roy a shot.
Not speaking for Scarlett, though. in the previous post. She may have another opinion.
I just voted and there was a line at Bolton. How are the other polling places looking?
Biff - no need for entrails here - republican silver on the ballon, democrats lampert and hickman omitted - can't check Roy because some of his constiuents still consider Lawson a negro (marginally, anyway). He still has to show Smiff.
"ballon" = "ballot"
ItTastes likeChicken!
Hey it's Roosevelt's position. He did not offer me Chief of Spelling Police, he offered me the Cheif Instigator position. Ah, it is good to be a Merican. Vote
Biff, I think you are a woman. Am I right?
Lightening delay during LSU game allowed me to leave the couch to check on you merry bloggers. Ya'll are pretty tame today. One thing I won't miss about this race is all the damn drive by waving fests. Sick of that and sick of all the signs. At least some of that will be cleared out after today.
