OKC Mayor Race 2014

Why is it cheap. It's not fake or made up.

[Urban Pioneer]

OH! And have reason to do it!? If anybody had any reason to "hate on Ed" it would be me. lol

[soonerguru]

that is nothing but a cheap shot.... For Christ sake ma, if you're going to hate on Ed, have reason to do it and back it up legitimately.

I'm just curious, what is this organization that promotes affirmative genitalia identification? Seriously, I'm not impugning them in any way, I'm just curious.

[Urban Pioneer]

Have you been audited via Ed??? Unless so, I don't think you're qualified to question my reasoning for such legitimate questions to "non-answers".

[Urban Pioneer]

I mean, there's all these kids wearing v+gina Tshirts. Why not question it? I mean, are we Fox News or MSNBC or something? I mean, do we have to have a "balanced" viewpoint and not ask questions to "non-answers" from a prominent mayoral candidate???

Why the f++k is Ed standing among kids with ambiguous anatomy-related Tshirt advertisements???

[Urban Pioneer]

Just say'in. Defend him all you want. It won't matter to me. There are those of us who have climbed the mountain to make this city a better place and there are those who have not. Ed has not. He wants to tear down those who have worked to build the mountain. He is the WORST of politicians. The absolute WORST. The guy who wants to criticize everything and do nothing.

I didn't stay here for that. I didn't not move to a "real" city for that. I stayed here to make a difference. I could have moved. I didn't.

If there are assh+les out there who want to fall for cheap rhetoric and a promise for nothing, so be it. I will not be one of them. I will fight. And I don't give a damn who stands in the way.

This city deserves better than cheap rhetoric from Eddy Shadid.

I am a first year millennial, and I am proud that this is my city. Anything less can move on.

[kevinpate]

... He will embrace anything he thinks will get him votes. Today he was tweeting that if we had more police, we could eliminate some hit and run accidents. Seriously????? ...

Oh, please, please, someone who sees him get him to explain that one on the record. I suppose if we had a cop on every corner the tushheads who smack into others would find it harder to drive away if a cop was 100 feet away. But well, is it really a better city if there's a cop on every corner?

[Bellaboo]

Ed is in butt kiss mode to garner votes from any organization he possibly can, he even made an appearance at the OKCTALK get together in August. Hopefully, people will not fall hook line and sinker for whatever promises he's making, which more than likely he won't keep. He'll even make a photo shoot with a bunch of kids with colored shirts. SMH

[Prunepicker]

... Today he was tweeting that if we had more police, we could eliminate
some hit and run accidents...

What? That's about as ridiculous of a statement I've heard.

[CuatrodeMayo]

You can't make this stuff up:



The Okie » Update: Shadid, Atheist Group, Delete Tweets

Some lucky person is going to find these shirts in a thrift store someday.

[zookeeper]

The shirts say: “pe-nis is not a bad word, it is a noun” and “va-gi-na is not a state on the East Coast”.

I'm not defending him, I'm just pointing out a fact. If some can't handle that, then I don't know what to tell you. I have no clue what this organization stands for, but they are wearing a shirt that has words of human organs, what is wrong with that? Please explain...

Not arguing for or against, but Shadid obviously thought something was wrong as he deleted the pictures.

[Edgar]

Ok, wait a second. Does your candidate know what you are saying about him?

A huge chunk of the river ferry funds were restricted for ferry use only, as your own article noted.

Another huge swath of funds were private funds paid in for naming rights.

Is it your position that your candidate would agitate to use restricted funds in a non-permissible way? Is it further your position your candidate would agitate to take the funds paid for naming rights on one project, then shelve the project and use those funds for a completely different purpose?

Norman and Tulsa must have hoodwinked the feds to get stim funds to buy clean new cng rides.

[BrettM2]

Norman and Tulsa must have hoodwinked the feds to get stim funds to buy clean new cng rides.

Or maybe you're wrong and just too stubborn to admit it? Given your posting history, I'm guessing that is much more likely than having two Okahoma municipalities violate Federal law and misappropriate funds. But go ahead and keep claiming that.

[kevinpate]

hmmm, not a chevy answer. not a ford answer. not even a yugo answer. Must be a dodge. Yah, that seems to fit.

[PhiAlpha]

Norman and Tulsa must have hoodwinked the feds to get stim funds to buy clean new cng rides.

Or maybe they asked and received federal stimulus money designated for other forms of transportation then ferries...

If you're so worried about stim money being used for cng. Here you go

I suppose it's all a question of how many new police officers he is talking about. If you increase the numbers such that we have one officer stationed every three feet, I doubt we'd have much crime at all!

[Edgar]

Do you read anything other people post before running your apparently ignorant mouth?



It's really convenient to ignore whatever you want to prove a point in a discussion but when it's written right in front of you and everyone else that reads this...it makes you appear pretty dense.

I think it's a great idea- no doubt lots of folks looking for a really slow expensive way to get from downtown to meridian.

I don't the water taxis were ever meant to be a quick source of transit from the Meridian corridor to DTOKC. That is why a dedicated bus to and from the airport and eventually rail in the same direction is important.

What does sarcastically saying the river boats are a great idea have to do with my post?

You suggested that the mayor chose to divert stimulus funds from other projects in OKC to the river boats, which is not accurate according to what others have posted here for you and everyone else to read. It was a stimulus package specific to ferry services that couldn't be used for anything else that didn't take money away from anything else, yet you keep claiming otherwise...therefore appearing dense. Give me your reasoning behind that instead of adding some irrelevant response.

I think they should have a shirt with ANUS on it........

Don't forget that the information that was posted to disprove this theory of the Mayor diverting money to the river boats was from a link that Edgar him/her self posted the link for...

Carry on...

Edger,

Sometimes a person has to use a little insight and have a little patience, when the AICC is completed, along with the Ferris wheel over by western, it will make several stops including stock yards city, and make it more viable. These things take a little time to come together, but you have to start somewhere.
