REPUBLICAN FOR BROWN

[Timkin]

Republicans want to eat the poor.

Everyone knows that.

LOL

Moran was the only candidate that could have easily beat Hogan!

Given the poll results Tuesday, apparently it was not that easy to beat him.

Look what happened in Tampa.....Rose Ferlita easily beat 4 other candidates gaining 39% of the vote.....but still had a runoff.....the losing 3 candidates endorsed and/or supported the runner up, who got 23% of the vote....in the runoff. Buckhorn beat Ferlita 2 to 1....this is what could have happened w/ Audrey

What concerns me too, with both Brown and Hogan, is that they apparently are both involved in the Christian habits of praying and depending excessively upon faith, which is of course okay for the most part, especially in their private excursions into the spiritual world.  However, when the important problems of government are involved, I prefer individuals who pray and have faith less, and use more reason and critical thinking to the utmost degree to solve the problems.  We certainly do not need religion anywhere near our governmental efforts.  We need intelligent, objective individuals.

Being religious has nothing to do with your ability to reason and think. Some of the greatest scientists and thinkers in history have also held deep religious convictions including André Marie Ampere, Alessandro Volta, Louis Pasteur, Guglielmo Marconi, Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Gregor Mendel, Robert Boyle, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas More, etc. Did you know that the big bang theory was proposed by a Catholic priest named Georges Lemaître? In fact, I would argue that religion is enhanced by science and reason not opposed to it. I would be willing to bet that most politicians in our country have some religious conviction. While I agree that we need intelligent people as leaders, I do not believe that intelligence has anything to do with whether or not someone believes in God.

Personally, I liked Mr. Brown's reaction to the election results. I think it makes him seem down to earth. I do have some questions about him though. Is he pro-life? What does he have to say about transit?

Just to put the fear of God into all of you, I am seriously considering changing my vote to Mr. Brown in the runoff.  Unless GG thinks I am trying to hurt the poor!

Seriously, I want to hear him out, but his posted views fit my needs more than Mr. Hogan right now.

And I agree with Buckeye.  I believe that an intelligent person can understand that we really know very little about the universe we live in.

Why would you fear your god? i would'nt want a god i had to fear...that makes no sense whatsoever...

[Garden guy]

I think maybe the only way we can beat hogan is start hammering on him and his ideas and policy thoughts right now and not let up until the vote day...democrats over the land loose because we play nice...they don't play nice and they win...it sucks but maybe we have to beat them at their own games...the truth of what's been going on downtown right under hogans nose for years should be set out for all to see. The abuses of our city and its funds and the downright throwing away of money on things that don't work...we all see the bleeding of money waisted on ass kissing deals made by our leaders, let us speak what we know and see...

People, people, people, please SHOVE all of your moral values and personal beliefs to your secondary priorities. Your primary priorities should be about the city of Jacksonville and how it impacts your living here.

I don't care any of mayor candidates's religious beliefs, opinion on social issues, etc. I look past those into their soul and heart with the good issues they want to stand on FOR the city.

You obviously are not familiar with the Christian bible.  You heathens should fear the wrath of God!

Not Now I hope you do.  I am glad you are saying this.  Religion aside it is what is best for our city!
