Local Writers

I have been reading the great Popovich/Fafoutakis debate in the Press, and the other local writer's attacks on each other. It is getting silly.
Popovich and Fafoutakis are extreme opposites of each other. Popovich is, of course, a Liberal Democrat. He wants to raise taxes on working people so he and his cronies can get more handouts. He wants another 1% sales tax. We are paying two 1% sales taxes in Sheridan already. The state mandates 4%, some of which comes back to Sheridan, and the other 2% is for fun stuff in Sheridan.
Why does Cody seem to do so good with a 4% sales tax? Everything there looks very nice and well kept.
The trouble is, people who are already living on the backs of the tax-payers can vote for more taxes. I am getting tired of carrying the wild-spending government, and freeloaders, on my back.
Then there's Fafoutakis. I read what he writes, and I think he knows his facts and figures very well. The problem is not what he says, but how he says it. He is too beligerent and bull-headed.
He talks like he's from New York City. He needs to learn that we native Wyomingites are a little more laid back and slower talking. Of course politics can wind people up and get them excited.
Fafoutakis came to one of our TEA Party protests. We were at the Republican Convention, in Sheridan, protesting RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). Sheridan county has some RINOS in the state legislature.
Fafoutakis came with a sign about "wetbacks". That had nothing to do with why we were there. And, when a few of us tried to explain that he was in the wrong, he couldn't have cared less.
We writers can attack each others views, but personal attacks are off limits-I believe. Henry Ford said: "Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell in such a way that he looks forward to the trip".
I don't thing we need to be that diplomatic, but a little less teeth-gnashing would be nice.
My favorite local writer is Dale Rath. I agree with him so much that I feel like he is speaking for me.
On April 4th, Obama announced he was running for a second term. That is a scary thought. How about some rhetoric on that?
