I can't remember the specifics, but after reading this article, he doesn't sound like he's acting very Christian at all. If anything, he sounds kind of shameful, calling a legit candidate somebody's "poor wife."

Wrong Party Chief: the county executive answers directly to the voters. Perhaps this is why your party is doing so poorly... you can't even figure out who is in charge (hint: it's the voters).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-42244327808725337112009-10-27T00:57:10.094-04:002009-10-27T00:57:10.094-04:00Bernie I am not sure about this but I believe ther...Bernie I am not sure about this but I believe there is some history between the Republican Commissioners and McNeil dating back to his Township Executive days. There was some sort of public confrontation at a meeting where McNeil lost his temper and lashed out at the Commissioners.
