All the best dressed dictators wear a chest full of bling. Morgan is a clown and if Powells railroading doesn’t finish Morgan, Escambia County deserves another term with Gadhafi Junior

I agree with you David, as a Vietnam veteran that was wounded in combat. As a taxpaying citizen of Escambia County I disagree with you. There is a place for wearing your military uniform, and medals. A sheriff seeking reelection is not one of them. He is the top law man in the county. Escambia county is not under Marshall law. Therefore the medals are inappropriate. As I said in my previous comment, I think Sheriff Morgan is a publicity hound and does not have the best interest of Escambia county at heart, but rather his best interest at heart.

morgan is doing everything he can to smear Mr Powell to cover his short comings. For a crime to occur there must be intent not from the sound of it clerical error, Mr Powell has had information on morgan that would put a bad light on morgans true character. He refuses to put that information out and chose to take the high road. He is campaigning on his experience and morgans lack of and the fact the crime in this county is out of control. morgan on the other hand has chosen to attack anyone associated with the Powell campaign. Especially his employees who are afraid to openly support Powell (most do). Business owners are afraid to show support because the Deputies who frequent their businesses are chastised. Mr Powell has stated that if he is elected and does not do a good job then put him out next election.. morgan apparently says if you try to put me out I will get you. Leader (Powell) or dictator (morgan) the intelligent Citizens of the county will decide.

Do the crime do the time!!! The biggest problem I see is, people in any office from COUNTY to Washington (do not have to go by the same rules we the people that pay there pay + perks have to) I have delt with it. if you do wrong you get in trouble, but if you are in the circle of politics it will effect you very little for the same crime…

By GOBC I assume you mean “Good Old Boy Club”, and that was one of the reasons I voted for Morgan.

Marshall
“LEO GUY” is what I use when someone several months ago from a previous comment tagged me with when I expressed support for our local law enforcement. I am not a Law Enforcement Officer, but I do try not to make negative comments to someone doing a job I would hate to have to do. I will try to support whoever is sheriff. :-/

Who ever is unfortunate enough to get elected sheriff, probably deserves it.

He’s (Morgan) done some good things for the area, With that said, His suite wearing is loud to say the least. John Powell is from our area. Is a police officer & with the right people under him he would do fine. I would rather a local person be the sherrif with us Locals in mind & not the news camera’s . He knows the problems of Pensacola & Escambia county. He’s from here.Time for a change. Again, Sheriff Morgan is not a bad guy. Has served us in the military & i thank him for that. I just think John would be more personable & up front with the community in mind. Not himself.

CONTEMPLATING:
“It is just another sad sign of the times we live in when people say a man should not be proud to show that he served in the military of our country”

It isn’t that. A man should always be proud he did his duty. The nation is filled with people who quietly did their duties.

Some think of it as bragging. (Not me, I’m good with it, but some….)
It strikes them as a “look at me! I’m special!” attitude.
Some of the ones who’ve done their duty without feeling the need to call attention to themselves wonder at the need to shout.
And those of us who’ve never done anything noteworthy wonder what all the fuss is about.

David for pretty ribbons
