Just to be safe I consider and treat all politicians like crooks, regardless of what party they belong to.

Mike cannot be a statesman and a political slime thrower. To send out blast emails (presumably since I got it and I have never asked to get anything from Mike Hill) within one week of each other that calls Evers a “gentleman farmer” and his word “clearly false” – which came right from the Mike Hill for Senate Campaign – is throwing slime. A “statesman” he certainly ain’t. He is campaigning in the gutter. Hope he gets out of it and I sure hope Evers doesn’t join him. Doesn’t sound like he will. I live here in Molino and my husband and I farm. We are working people who put in 15 hours a day, at least 7 days a week – sometimes more hours and more days – barely getting by because of NAFTA, CAFTA and getting undercut and underpriced by foreign countries. That “gentleman farmer” slime throw really offended me for myself and my family. I don’t know what the State Farm insurance business is like, Mr. Hill, because I have never been in it. But I can tell you farming is hard, hard work for a family. I can tell you that because my family has been doing it for years and generations and I we are just fighting – like every farm family I know – to hold on. There is nothing “GENTLE” about it. Like I said, get out of the gutter. It is offensive to all of us.

Mr. Hill,
As I have researched the candidates over the last several months, I was hopeful that your campaign as a statesman would provide us with the change we have been looking for. I came to see you speak to a local tea party, and was very impressed by your words. We are ALL sick of politicans, but your recent statements and exploitation of Col. Day’s endoserment for political purposes has proved that you are not above politics and it causes me to question your true sincerity as a statesman. We deserve a straight shooter….God Bless

I am submitting this for clarification purposes only. I did not request an endorsement from Colonel Bud Day. I was at a fundraising event and Col Day was in attendance. After Col Day heard me speak he approached me, and while handing me a campaign contribution, stated that he was endorsing my campaign. I so respect Col Day and would never do anything to diminish his stature in this community and around the US.
Get to know the candidates then make up your mind
——————————————————————————-
Excerpt from article above – quote from Col. Day–
“I actually never endorsed Mr. Evers. I told him that I would consider it. Although Mr. Evers claims I endorsed him, I never did,” Day is quoted in Hill’s release.

My questions are simple. Did he give you a signed endorsement or did he just tell you? When did he make the statement above for the press release? Did you not realize it was incorrect? There are to many questions that you did not clarify in your post for me. It seems as though in your post you are putting this situation back on to Col. Day and blaming him for this mix up.

I saw Col. Day’s endorsement of Mr. Evers a couple of weeks ago on his Campaign site when researching both of you, I went back yesterday to check it, but it had been taken down. All you had to do was click on the link on his site to see the endorsement.

In fact in my opinion you waited till the 4th of July weekend to try and make a splash with it, using Col Day as a prop for political maneuvers. I see this as a backdoor political stunt, and that is why I am disgusted. Please tell us how you could have taken an absolutely wonderful, well respected man who served his country so well, who put his life on the line for all of us and used him in this manner.

It doesn’t really matter to me who endorses who in campaigns as I said before, I research each candidate before voting. Thanks for coming on here to try and clarify this matter but your post just seems to try and throw Col. Day under the bus.

At the end of your post you say “Get to know the candidates and make up your mind”. I have not seen anything from Mr. Evers representing any false claims against anyone. You are responsible for anything put out with your name on it.

To Me!

I’m sorry, but I chuckled at your remark. You must believe everything you hear – but you are right, Evers sposored the bill to give the people of this county an opportunity to VOTE whether they wanted the silly consolidation or not. Thank goodness it fell apart before the money was wasted on a vote.

REGARDING:
“The liberals throw false things to the media and it takes months to prove that it was a lie. By then the damage is done.”

I thought Republicans were supposed to be conservatives, generally speaking.

Had you substituted “politicians” for “liberals” it would have been to argue with you, though.

It just seems to me politicians sometimes say or do whatever they must to get into office. That’s why SOME of them have bad reputations.

David thinking it’s not a liberal/conservative thing

Well a letter in hand from Mr. Day and signed by him, what else is needed for people to see what is going on. The liberals throw false things to the media and it takes months to prove that it was a lie. Buy then the damage is done.
