I heard about the comments regarding "Ralphies Boys" and I had to see for myself. Frankly, I find it quite amusing. Having been a long time resident of South Walton, I quietly sit back and watch things unfold in our government, and at times get amused at it as well. I normally do not get involved in these things but I would like to make a few comments. No need to reply, as you will not see me here again, nor is this an advertisement of support for any party or candidate. As I read the line of posts about the Sheriffs Candidates, it was evident where the anaoymous author, Wyliecoyote, position is, and for whom he is gaining support. It would only leave a reasonable and prudent mind to think that the philosophy about a "conspiracy theory" is nothing more than a political tactic. I know first hand that Sheriff Johnson has not solicited, promised, or otherwised offered anything to any candidate in return for entering the election. What Mr. (or Ms.) Coyote does not realize is these tactics are old school good ole boy politics and may have worked many many years ago. People do not buy this anymore. This is apparent in your threads as it seems only a couple of other people are running on the same beliefs as you. It also seesm apparent that these words you write are done so out of fear that your candidate may not get elected. I hope you are successful in convincing each other who to vote for. And remeber what I wrote about good ole boy politics, they may not be as good as you think. That circle has the ability to come all the way around. Unfortunatley, I have not spoken in person to any of the candidates about their goals for the Office but I will in due time. Do I know them? Yes I have actually met ALL of them and know enough about them to formulate my own opinion of WHO they are. I will meet them and find out WHAT they are going to do. Conspiracy? Nope, I dont buy it. What I do buy is a pool of candidates that have once worked for Sheriff Johnson who are determined to make a change. Who better to make that change than someone that knows where it is broken? I will leave all avenues open, and listen to what each deputy or former deputy has to say. I will make my own determination based on facts. I feel sure the rest of the community will do so as well. Good Luck! The Spoiler
