I just want to know how anyone who claims they are a true Atmorian and grew up in Atmore and wants to make a change in Atmore can justify not giving land to the hometown hospital so they can move forward with building a new hospital for the citizens of Atmore. How you can look your local Atmore residents in the face knowing it’s your fault that this tug of war has carried on for so long? And then you want them to vote for you?

Replying to your comment: you’re absolutely correct! You have all the freedom in the world to criticize anyone for anything! You have all the freedom in the world to say ugly things! You have all the freedom in the world to be hateful! A lot of this has nothing to do with politics, if it did ppl wouldn’t being saying ugly things about campaign photos and how ppl look(not political at all). But once again you’re absolutely correct, you(anyone) have/has all the freedom in the world to say anything you want. Just notice I’m the only person on this thread who’s had the guts to put my real and full name, I don’t hide behind a computer and talk smack just to have something to say.

When someone (anyone) puts themselves in the public eye by running for office (any office), they open themselves up to public scorn and ridicule. Anyone who can’t handle that ridicule should stay out of politics! Criticizing our public officials, and those who want to be one, is one of the many freedoms we currently still have in this nation. When those politicians invite further public scrutiny by refusing to accept their defeat, thereby embarrassing their constituents, it is even further proof that they were never fit to hold office. There are reasons why I never ran for any political office and this is one of them. If you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

These comments are awful, and by adults at that(Some who won’t even state their real name on here). We sit and talk about child bullying, name calling and ugly talk from kids when OUR children are hurt at school, online/in person, whether it’s by the “popular crowd” “or just simply “kids who don’t know any better bc they haven’t been taught any better”. How do we expect our kids to do better if we ourselves aren’t held to the same standard? Just wondering?

It seems that the people of Atmore has made a decision that Susan Smith don’t like and she having another childish fit. Be thankful you got as many votes as you did. You tried to divide the town to your advantage but it didn’t work. Act like a lady go home and shut your mouth if we had wanted you as a mayor you would have won. Things just don’t always work out like we want them to but stop being such a cry baby and accept it.

Face it your political career, like the hospital is a dead issue.

I’m not informed on either candidate, but being there wouldn’t be that many ballots to recount anyway might as well do it and be done with it. I don’t care who the candidates are in any election but it’s always best to just do a recount especially since theirs not a whole lot of them to count anyway. There’s no harm in proving yourself right.
