If someone has a twitter account but has others do the tweets most or all the time, it seems as if the account owner is only half into twitter.
Would it be wrong to consider such a limited participant a twit?
Oh, he's not popping off against the Thunder. He's just tweeting things an 8 year old Thunder fan might and using Thunder-related hash tags. I figure its part of his plan to appeal to young voters. But 8 year olds don't vote. And I'm wondering if he cared about the team until it seemed politically expedient to do so. Whereas Mayor Cornett, who is absolutely one of the reasons we have a team, tweets like the regular game attendee and fan that he clearly is.
It's tough to fake sincerity. Doesn't deter too many from giving it a go.
Not all of us are doing what we want, but that doesn't stop us from telling others about the value we see in our dreams. Sometimes we are constrained by our history from achieving our future. JTF still makes many valid points. We shouldn't necessarily get in line with him and sing kumbayah, but appreciate his song for what it's worth.
If you're not doing what you want, that is your problem, not mine. Life is too short to sit there and claim how bad the suburbs are and be so finicky about things, and not even follow what you preach. I was almost certain JTF lived in an urban environment and seriously??????
whenever a stoplight is built. . .lets complain that round-a-bouts are gods gift to earth and we should be using them. . . whenever a highway is approved lets use induced demand and complain it's stupid to build that highway and we could be saving money if everyone lived right next to each other in urban housing. . . cars don't represent freedom. . . mass transit needs more money. i mean it never freakin ends man, and I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anything that I posted. but it is so ironic that this guy always complains about how bad things are when they aren't right up against the strew(even complained about the Devon Tower), and you live in the suburbs. . . its like an Atheist living in the Vatican City working for the Pope.
I'm not perfect and I am a hypocrite at times, but JTF takes it to a new level... and saying that the area in which I live(Asheforde Oaks) is not a neighborhood and somehow Deep Deuce is, yeah. . . I'm going to call him out on it.
Now, that being said, I think JTF is probably a very nice guy and he even offered to show me some small town in Florida awhile back, and I would gladly take him up on it. I don't appreciate or disregard what he says, but I probably only agree with maybe 1% of anything he has posted. I have no beef with the guy and I think his heart is in the right place and he means good... I just couldn't disagree with him more on many subjects. But thats fine, no one here has to agree nor disagree with anyone else here, that is why we have brains to think for ourselves and believe in what we think is right, and I respect that.
Well, JTF is married...so it's really not up to him
Man, trying so hard to remain polite here. I've written and erased about three different responses as "too rude" so far.
I will say this, Ed is working the hell outta Twitter (or Andrew Speno). I follow him under the premise of "know your enemy" but it's an active account, and many people are easily duped.
He's using Twitter to share ideas and best practices and to promote his platform and campaign. What else would you expect?
Mick is going to win this race because the chamber of commerce and Ackerman McQueen are on his side. I have yet to see a mayoral candidate lose in this town when they had the chamber on their side. Ackerman McQueen has just about every major employer on their client list so I am sure those employers will be reminding their people to get out and vote for Mick.
I do know Ed did earn the police union vote. I was talking to an officer last week and he charmed the pants off the police union. Doing and saying what he promised the police union are two separate things. After all you have to have money to give the police department most of things they are wanting and that will likely require the promise and the passing a permeant city wide sales tax for public safety. I don't why OKC doesn't just hold election to round it to an even 10% on sales tax. They could expand the police and fire departments to match the manpower and response time of the competing suburban cities and implement ambulance service as a city service instead of a contract agreement with EMSA. I think MWC is going to be the first city successfully implement a city run ambulance service through the fire department. Rumor has it that CHS does not want to run ambulance service if and when they take over Midwest Regional.
