Why Mike Hogan is the right choice for downtown

[fsujax]

hope you are not planning on drinking that champagne at Hogans party. No alcohol.

I spoke to a bunch of hippotpotamus trainers in the Congo, and they told me that Big Guy is really Zsa Zsa Gabor! 

So I guess congrats are in order.

Yeah, the ABC Liquor store is a few steps away. I am sure they will do a nice business tonight, either way!

I might regret getting involved in this discussion, but there is too much incorrect and unsubstantiated drivel being put up by BigGuy for me to ignore it anymore.  Frankly, there are too many things that BigGuy (who feels the need to compensate for his remarkably Short-comings even in his pseudonym) is saying that I could tear to shreds, but he doesn't care about being truthful or accurate.  According to him, he is a master manipulator who hoodwinks the masses and reaps the benefits.  He is extremely successful at this, which is why, again according to himself, he has "made it".  Yet, out of some extreme sense of altruism, he rides only JTA for his transportation and sits with "the black people" in Hemming Plaza.  It is this same sense of altruism that wants to send all of our homeless over to Iraq and Afghanistan, but that's just my guess.

So lets take one of his self admitted falsehoods and put it to task.

Mike Hogan does have a vision for downtown. And the first part of the vision is getting people in the outlying areas to stop hating downtown. And the first part of this plan is to reassure them that there will be no more wasteful spending on downtown projects.

First off; No, Mike Hogan has no vision for downtown.  He has explicitly stated this.
Second; While I've already pointed out there is no vision, lets continue.  Nobody really believes that anyone hates downtown.  Not even Mike Hogan.  If they did, there's no way any mayor (especially not Hogan) could convince them otherwise.  This is ridiculous logic.
Third: Mike Hogan couldn't even assure Mike Hogan of anything, why do you think he refuses to debate?  The minute he starts to speak on a subject, he realizes he knows nothing.  His stay silent to keep reasonable doubt campaign has worked wonders.
Fourth: Mike Hogan wanted to spend $90,000 of taxpayer money so that his brothers football team could go to Russia.  He is the most self serving people I've ever seen.  He will spend money on downtown if it suits his interest.  His three biggest supporters were FBC, the Police and Firemen, and Toney Sleiman.  All three of them are downtown and all three of them are going to be looking for their cut of the spoils after they've pulled one over on the city of Jax.  He will spend downtown until there are no more checks to sign.  He'll do it because he believes we're idiots.  His entire campaign is based on that.

I continue to find common ground with you.

After perusing some of the threads here and on jacksonville.com, I think I might've found why indeed the title of the thread might ring true after all.

No Muslims in downtown.

Or abortion clinics.

Man, I hope Hogan doesn't win... I just submitted my business plan to the investors for my one-stop "Abortions, burkas, liquor, and "tobacco" accessory store."

[JeffreyS]

He will still be lurking about dreaming of explosives.

hehe.. o my.

Frankly, there are too many things that BigGuy (who feels the need to compensate for his remarkably Short-comings even in his pseudonym) is saying that I could tear to shreds, but he doesn't care about being truthful or accurate.  According to him, he is a master manipulator who hoodwinks the masses and reaps the benefits.  He is extremely successful at this, which is why, again according to himself, he has "made it".  Yet, out of some extreme sense of altruism, he rides only JTA for his transportation and sits with "the black people" in Hemming Plaza.  It is this same sense of altruism that wants to send all of our homeless over to Iraq and Afghanistan, but that's just my guess.

Watch it, you know he can control your thoughts right?

I only clicked on this thread just to see if this was a joke. I'm leaving baffled yet amused.

[JeffreyS]

I think that is why Mike Hogan would check it.

ZING!

Why should anyone listen to a person that lies for a living?

What is factually true and accurate is irrelevant. What people believe is the only thing that matters. And I take a particular sense of joy each time I make someone believe something that isn't so. It keeps a roof over my head and food in my belly.

I'm not debating your facts, or your statistics, because I don't have to. I'm not brining my own facts and statistics, because I don't need any. I know how to read a situation and prey upon sterotypes, false beliefs, and exploit it as good as anyone.

Well that's called politics. It's the game.

Learn to play it. Maybe you'll win the next election.

Thank you for imparting your wisdom upon us.

Yes, BigGuy's prognotications turned out swimmingly for him, didn't they?
