Tommy:
I owe no allegiance to an individual to whom I have no covenant of
allegiance with. If Councilman Keady votes to use eminent domain in
an abusive manner, "for private gain" - than I would publicly decry
him as well, on that issue only.
My support of elected officials is issues based, not character
based. I support many elected officials on their positions on
certain issues, and do not support them in matters contrary to my
convictions. I can see the "forrest" for the trees. Much like a
surgeon, if the limb needs amputation, I would take the limb to save
the entire life. If the patient decides his own life was not worth
saving, with out that limb, that's their decision to make, not mine.
Even if I donot agree with the patients decision, I still respect
the fact that it is their life to make such a decision.
My efforts would not be wasted in the least, in that specific
scenario.
