The ugly side of politics

As everyone knows the democratic primary for Colbert County District Judge has just been completed and the end result is a run off between Chad Coker and Polly Ruggles. Both seem to be good candidates but I do take exception with Ruggles comments in regards of being a parent and not being a parent. But putting that aside both are fine people. But What I would like to talk about is the horrible mudslinging that came from the Milam camp. Milam should be ashamed of himself for what he has done to area politics. He has brought everything that the public hates to our own back yard. His two main targets were Tina Miller Parker and Chad Coker. . Although Mr. Coker weathered the arrows well, Ms. Parker did not and it is a shame. To those of you on the Times Daily Forum who had spread lies about Ms. Parker my only hope is that you find some forgiveness for your actions.  I am pleased that our county saw through his and his supporter`s tactics and chose not to support him in his race.
