    Such a classic, Shadid the liar is calling Swinton out for not supporting MapsIII as he does. If any of you so called ES supporters don't have the brain power to see through this BS, then it's on you.

    This is a great one for the 'guest' to this site to see right through el Shadid, the Good Doctor, the Adult in the Room (which is my favorite, yes he's big enough to snort drugs with the best of them) and last but not least The Doctor Says.

    ES better not even try to kill my streetcar or I will sue! Does ES support medical coke in powder form on a piece of glass with a $100.00 bill rolled up?

Either they are not really streetcar / MAPS 3 supporters or they are caught up in his delusion.

    Ah the Good Doctor, El Shadid. The truth, the way, and the light.

    I'm hoping all his followers are as enthusiastic voters as he was before 2012.

    A reminder: "Shadid missed mayors' elections in 2004, 2006 and 2010. He missed two general obligation bond elections since 2000, a hotel/motel tax vote in 2004, and a public safety tax vote in 2000.

    He also missed the 2001 MAPS for Kids vote, the 2008 “big league city” tax vote on arena renovations, and the 2009 MAPS 3 vote."

    Don't vote? Don't complain.

    I'm sure he'll exercise his civic duty as an outstanding citizen by voting in this election.

    Maintaining his record: "The only thing Ed Shadid has voted for is himself."

    That piece from the Okie is a little over the top for me. Haha. But, it's probably designed to point out to the conservative voters who might be won over by Ed's anti-convention center tax stance that they stand very far apart on other issues. Personally, I'd just like to see an article listing all of Ed's lies, as well as pointing out that, as usual, he's promising things he likely will not be able to achieve. The amazing thing is that people fall for it, or they decide to vote for Ed because Mick won't debate him. Low information voters, but some of them will vote. And for all the misguided reasons. If I didn't think it would be so bad for OKC, it would be amusing to see Ed get elected and not fulfill all those promises, or have a total deadlock in Council.

    Which is best mayor for city?s 20-somethings? | Capital City

    This one is interesting. Even thought not a millenial or twenty-something, I can agree with much of this. He's not been on the receiving end of any of Ed's misinformation though. Because he's kinder to him that I would probably be. I do agree that his message is appealing, it's implementation that is a mess.

    I can relate with pretty much everything that guy says, other than seeing himself in Shadid's OKC. I have a similar tale about OKC, moving here in January 2009 with zero expectations.

    I’ve never experienced that mood in Oklahoma City. Instead, OKC seems to be a city comfortable in its own skin, yet unafraid to want more. I like the idea of a mayor that feels the same way.
    This is a fantastic line.

    I hate the Okie blog. The mentality it represents is juvenile. Why would it be a scandal that Ed Shadid identifies with the LGBT community?

    That said, Go Cornett.

    It's not, the point was to point out to conservatives that Shadid is trying to play are being hoodwinked by him

    My wife and I were driving out to Lake Hefner to go walking this weekend when we drove past a few "Dr. Ed Shadid for Mayor" signs in a few people's yards. She said something that basically sums up how I feel. "Ed Shadid makes my skin crawl. And why does he put Dr. on the sign? That is so pretentious to me."

    maybe some campaigner guru told him folk tend to trust doctors.

    maybe he hopes it helps deflect the stories of drug use and addiction ala he's a doctor, so he would know better, must be evil campaign gossip (never mind that all that which was reported happened well before he got into politics, and seemingly before he even had clue one where to find a place to cast a vote in anything involving his city.)

    maybe he's simply quite proud of becoming one, and still being one.

    maybe something else entirely.

    It's probably because he is a doctor and most doctors have that title. I don't support the guy for mayor, but these personal attacks on him are what really make me dislike Cornett's supporters as well.

    I think it is more of his campaigning to be Mayor of all of OKC and I am not sure how you can appeal to the lower class when they know you probably have a house worth more than any amount of money they will see in their lifetime.

    Wait, Cornett doesn't have money?

    Like I said, make this about policies and promises and not about character assassination.

    I completely agree. I know I was just jabbing at ES on his character but that comes from a long time of completely disagreeing with his policies and promises.

    Seriously, you're going to attack him for having money? He worked hard and made money that he deserves; don't like it, tough.
