There is now less than one month to the primary elections in Pima County. If citizens of the county wish to reprimand the out-of-control Board of Supervisors and County Administrator for the shameful shadow government they have run for many years, now is decidedly our opportunity.
There is one powerful way each of us may reprove Chuck Huckelberry, one potent way we can shut down the establishment waste machine, one valiant way for us to protect this county and its fine citizens from further graft for years to come: We must decisively defeat the candidates who Huckelberry and the establishment prop up, namely John Winchester and Steve Christy. But to precipitate the complete collapse of the dark establishment and to wrest our home from the establishment’s sinewy grasp, to start toppling the dominoes most resoundingly, we as the citizens of Pima County must first stand up and demand that John Winchester end his primary campaign in District 1.
Calling a seated Supervisor names such as “Shriller Miller” is beneath the people of the county and is a disgustingly misogynistic practice that shames the campaign originating the insults, as well as the district and the county as a whole. Winchester’s campaign has taken on the whining, immature tone of the likes of Ray Carroll and Emil Franzi with its crude taunting.
Never mind that the names are baseless. Never mind that the names are rooted in fiction. This is the kind of tactic to which a whiny, spoiled third-grader would resort. And if Winchester’s campaign wants to start hurling prosodic insults, the natural retort would be “Winchester the Mol”… well, we won’t finish the line, because we and all the other people of this county are above those sophomoric games.
Winchester may be a perfectly kind individual. He may be a gracious and generous person. He very well may be something other than the monster, the jerk that his campaign ads make him out to be…
But when he lends his own voice to those ads to give his approval, the message he sends to the county utterly screams that he is a man of poor character and bankrupt morals.
There exists a #NeverWinchester organization. This author has proposed #QuitWithWinchester. And with every billboard that goes up, every sign erected, every commercial aired, another Pima County resident questions the forces behind what is proving to be the most frantic, media-heavy campaign for Supervisor this author can recall. After all, the tremendous money being poured into caustic marketing for this political puppet comes from somewhere, and nobody spends that much money on a campaign for a county seat for any reason but desperation.
If you want to reproach Chuck Huckelberry, Ray Carroll, the useless legacy media, and the impotent Pima County Supervisors who bring you crumbling roads, $15 million in waste for one laughable business, and last year’s #BrokePimaBonds, among so much other impropriety, here’s the secret formula:
Echo the call–publicly, loudly, and repeatedly–for Winchester to quit the race immediately.
Let us all send a resounding message to echo in the ears of those miserable bureaucrats: The malfeasance ends now, and the Winchester campaign is the first wrong we right.
