Thread: OKC Mayor Race 2014

    Default Re: OKC Mayor Race 2014

    I just received my first "Ed Shadid for Mayor" rhetoric mailing today. I was thinking about setting it on fire in my back yard, videoing it, posting it to youtube and then posting it on his twitter and facebook pages. Thoughts?

    Not sure what you'd be proving there.

    This mailing is rich. Saying no to special interest? What does he think the police and fire unions are?

    Extra special interests.

    I'm not going to make any comments pro or con with this but here is the recent mailing by Ed. I'm sure many here received the same thing.

    When is the earliest I can vote for this? I will likely be out of the country by the time March 4th rolls around.

    I'm sure he will turn on them eventually just like he turned on Maps. That's the point he will be saying "no".

    Aren't public safety and fire suppression everyone's special interest. Ed's mailer seems spot on to me.

    Yeah, none of the firefighters or police officers actually belong to their unions.

    Nice assumption. What have I said that makes you think I'm an Ed supporter? Other than watch the Ed haters hyperventilate, which I admit I find humorous, I have very little interest in the race one way or another. Stick that in your strawman.

    He said the unions, the unions themselves and not the firefighters or
    police, have nothing to do with fire suppression and general safety
    today. That's because they don't.

    Come to think of it the unions have nothing to do with making music.
    I'm a member of the local AFM 375 and the union has done nothing to
    create music. Not a darn thing.

    More false "facts". More criticism without a plan.

    And the statement below is WAAAY out there in left field. No understanding of what this city was like pre-MAPS, no acknowledgement of all the hard work that has preceded him, no understanding of what companies are looking for, no interest or willingness to pull a community together to make things even better.
    ************

    Asked what the city needs to do to “alleviate the fears” that these outside companies have about Oklahoma City and Shadid smiled and said, “We win the election.”
    “As soon as we win, the Chamber takes it to these companies and says, ‘Look who we just elected mayor. We are a ‘Big League City.’ We know the legislature is a one-party state legislature, but Oklahoma City is different. And this guy, his whole platform, a big part of his platform, is celebrating diversity and inclusion. That’s who we elected as mayor."

    I had to go back and re-read the article, because it seemed like you were cherry-picking and parsing.
    Nope. You weren't.
    He's saying if we elect him as mayor, businesses will flock to OKC (him) because they were previously afraid of a Republican-controlled state government.
    Hmmmm.
    Lots in that interview that I find hard to swallow.

    He needs to stop giving interviews while drunk and/or high. Or maybe give more of them like that, I cannot decide.

    Can he please name what businesses have not come to OKC because of Mayor Cornett. I'll hang up and listen.

    Reads to me Ed is just being the adult in the room and asking the obvious questions. Ok does have a tolerance for diversity issue that has caused OKC to be passed over in the past. A Mayor Ed would help in this regard imo.
