Voting is a DUTY of citizenship. It is a right DEFENDED and HONORED by our all members of the ARMED Forces. John Brown is an embarrassment. Yes, he has the right NOT to vote, but his record seems almost disconnected from the people.Chris Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785389463330442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-83728573773310531852014-03-06T12:48:10.014-05:002014-03-06T12:48:10.014-05:00Let's get back on topic please.

Not sure where all this is coming from. Callahan ran a positive campaign based on the accomplishments and progress of the city he has lead for the last decade.

I think many do not vote and a fair amount vote the way Brown did or does. <br /><br />Yes Callahan was too full of himself and at least voters are now not rewarding someone like him by voting for him. <br /><br />Was Brown better? In some ways yes and some ways no. <br /><br />I want to believe that the attributes he had over Callahan will bring him and us to a better place. <br /><br />Callahan did have all of the answers but many were not liked by the voters. His arrogance and dishonesty as well as lack of character show that voters are waking up. Many D's stayed home because they are party line voters just like the R's did with Romney. <br /><br />The unions were even split over Callahan. <br /><br />I appreciate that the unions came out against him. They were looking at more then what his voters were looking at. Not just party line. <br /><br />I guess no vote is better for some then having to pick what they see as the less of 2 evils. Could be why Brown past up some voting. I get that but I can't do this. <br /><br />It's not always right or wrong. Many have to have a clear choice.

It doesn't matter what you think about scandals in government, because you didn't vote. When people stay home and don't vote, less than 15 percent of the people make decisions for you.
