Giles County Executive Candidates Appearance On WLX
Just listened to the three candidates for Giles County Executive on WLLX from Lawrenceburg and was totally impressed with Capt. Graham Stowe, Mr. Lindsey did an excellent job also but I have to give a huge fail to Mrs Vanzant who failed to name one single accomplishment from her twelve years as County Executive.
Capt. Stowe has a plan that relies on innovative common sense approaches with an active leadership role and long term plans without a property tax increase or wheel tax. His vast experience and simple plan for keeping communications open through regular "Town Hall Meetings" is a huge step toward rebuilding trust in county leadership.
Mr Lindsey has a plan that relies primarily on possible grants from state and federal taxes which means more big government intervention. While he did say a wheel tax was not needed the additional spending he described as "needed" will require a bunch of new funding. While identified as an independent he talks more like a liberal democrat but even as such he has more experience and ideas than Mrs. Vanzant.
Mrs Vanzant would not rule out a wheel tax and/or a property tax passing off the responsibility as entirely that of the commissioners. She did say that the county was in financial good health with an expected half million dollars in excess income by the end of the fiscal year. and over 800 thousand dollars in excess school funds. If there is that much actual excess income why is the highway department so underfunded?
What are some of the things you heard that tonight during that debate that impressed you either positively or negatively?

Did you listen to the same debate as I did??? Lindsey and Stowe never answered a single question. They just beat around the Bush and said nothing. They actually talked about skinning cats and poking belly buttons. The only failure Mrs Vanzant has had is not running alan barrett out of Giles County. She needs to be more like New Hope Baptist Church and run him off after he threw rocks at the congregation.
Maybe they have a plan to save the world with belly button lint.
Barrett is one biased S.O.B.
I was unable to hear the debate tonight, however, hearing both Lindsey an Stowe at town hall meetings before, I know saying they had no "plans" or answers is just plain wrong.....sounds like the first 3 posts are VZ fans with their fingers in their ears. "Good health"....that's a good one...."let them eat cake" I suppose.
Nice try 8:45, I was actually there. Mr. Barrett did not throw one single rock, stone or pebble. How's New Hope doing now? I'm sure their congregation continues to grow. What, are they up to 8, maybe 9 now?
8:45
I don't think Barrett threw rocks, but he did bring in a bucket of rocks. From what I understand, he got wind that the church was going to get rid of him, so he wanted to make a point that he who is without sin should cast the first stone. Typical theatrics.
I believe Barrett mentioned somewhere that he had preached at maybe 2 churches. He has been kicked out of a lot more than that.
6:43 Please name them.
Why is this being made about Barrett? He ain't running for county mayor. I'm with 7:05 name the churches he was kicked out of 6:43 this attack on the man shows your true colors YELLOW.
8:04 But wouldn't you also say that if it shows Barrett's true colors if it's true that he's been kicked out of churches? If it is true, then it speaks volumes about his ability or willingness to get along with others. Would you agree with that? How could you deny it?
8:38 if it's true that you are a cross dresser who is involved in beastialty wouldnt that speak volumes of your ability and willingness to be taken seriously?
I thought the Christian Gentleman said he didn't attak people. Oh only with words, and that's being reglious?
To 845 and 8:49
Your two postings are lies. Why would Allen Barrett post something that was not accurate and sign his name to that post when scores of people would have heard the same radio broadcast and be able to confirm what he said was true? Its plain to see you made both posts, finished one then typed another so readers would think the worst of Barrett.
And to the poster (you again?) who claims Barrett was run out of two churches - lie again. Our church dissolved after being hit by two disasters and the congregation couldn't afford to build over twice within a short period of time.
8:46 So do you deny the bucket of rocks incident? There are witnesses.
What amazing lies the Allen Barrett haters are conjuring up from their cauldron of sin. It looks like the same slimy slug has crawled out from under their rock to make the same false accusations they made four years ago. To the slimy slug you know those things are absolutely false because I and others called you on them before and showed proof that you were a lying lowlife that specializes in gossip, rumor and lies all from the comfort of your anonymous closet. One day I will know your identity with full assurance and when that day comes I will visit your place of decay. You can take that anyway you want and I dare you to file a complaint because that would require you be revealed.
There was absolutely never a bucket of rocks involved in any way shape or form nor was there ever any rocks thrown by me at anyone or anything and certainly not a church I loved.
Since the slimy slug already knows the truth but choses to spread a vicious lie let me address the issue to those who are actually interested in the truth
I have been the minister at two different churches total. I resigned from New Hope where I had been for over nineteen years. I was under pressure to resign because my granddaughter had declared herself to be gay. Because I would not condemn her, I had spoken many times against the behavior, but because I would not condemn her and stop her from coming to church I was threatened with dismissal by a small group of members.
There was not enough votes to fire me but because of the divide and because of the way some very trusted and loved people behaved with secret meetings and vicious behavior toward my granddaughter I decided to leave.
On that final Sunday the gang of nine tried to prevent me from delivering my last sermon at New Hope, but then they agreed after I told them I would not resign and there would be a vote if I wasn’t allowed to speak.
That day I walked to the pulpit with my Bible and a small brown paper bag with seven small thumb sized pebbles. I spoke of the joy I and my family had known over those nineteen years, how we had survived many difficulties united. I spoke of the woman brought before Jesus to be condemned for adultery. Jesus refused to condemn the woman and I refused to condemn my 13 year old granddaughter. I closed the sermon by quoting Jesus “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” then I opened the bag and dropped the seven stones on the floor. I walked to my wife and together we walked out followed by more than half those present.
It took a long time before I was able to overcome the hurt of that experience. A couple of years later I was asked to be the minister at Union Valley which had dwindled to only a few members and was about to close their doors. We went to Union Valley and God blessed us with an increase in attendance and a loving membership. The church had been flooded several times in the past but was always rebuilt. We were hit by a tornado and flood. We decided to rebuild but to look for a different location in the Campbellsville area. There was no land available at a price we could afford. The decision was made to raise the property and rebuild. The area was cleared and a building ordered. More problems arose with the flood plan regulations and the project became too expensive and we voted to disband the church.
I decided to retire as a pastor but continue working for Christ. After visiting a number of churches from 1st Baptist to Temple of Praise in this area and a number in the Murfreesboro area we settled on World Outreach where my family and I are now happy active members.
Well speaking of the July 15th issue of the Pulaski Citizen, did anyone else happen to notice that Mrs Julie Phillips claims she and I quote "am responsible for accounting, payroll, budgeting, purchasing, personnel, insurance, TCRS, state aid road/bridge programs, FEMA/TEMA as well as daily public customer service." WHY are we paying for employees in the Financial
Management Office to do this if she is still doing these jobs? AND why are we paying Mr Whitt for both FEMA/TEMA programs and WHY do we even need Financial Management office. Seems like either Mrs Phillips has lied about doing all of this or our Financial Management is not fully in place. What's going on?
Kudos to the Barrett family, including their granddaughter. Best wishes to her.
Great post, 2:25. I agree. Too bad some want to turn the attention away from the content of this topic. I, for one, would like to know why tax increases are still being talked about if we are in such good shape financially.
We may not approve of the things our relatives do, but to condem them, not still love them and not have anything to do with them is so wrong.
I've always thought when a person was thrown out of church was wrong. Don't let them lead prayer, wait on table lead singing or any other big part in church would be the thiing. If they stay and listen, they just might see the wrong and change. But if they can't stay and listen how will they ever change.
Wasn't he kicked out of the church for molesting the children?
You are correct!
3:51 & 2:43 Same person. Are you not sure he can find out who you are and sue you?
You sound like children that parents don't know what you are doing?
Okay, Mr. Barrett you answer the question? How many churches have you preached at in Giles County and they told you they did not want you any more? Maybe kicked out of is too harsh.
You know "two" can only be understood one way by an intelligent person. Try counting on your fingers and see if that helps 4:59. If I was Barrett and found out who you are you wouldn't have to worry about no lawsuit.
Mr. Barrett was confronted by the wife of one of the members about suspecting that HER husband was getting too friendly with then younger members and wanted him to talk to her husband about it. Of course after he denied it he started the push to turn everyone against Mr. Barrett.
Don't matter to me who wins. Doubt it will be any better. Just enjoy getting the enabler stirred up. You can just see the hate in his post.
Someone please explain the difference between rocks and pebbles and stones. All mean the same the last time a checked.
Rocks are what is between your ears, pebbles are what gets stuck in your shoes and a stone is a measure of distance. Now, please define the difference between dropped and thrown.
7:55
That's a lie. I'm not stirred up. Just reminding you that I you are enabling the lie Allen Barrett told. Shall I call you enabler from now on? I think I shall. That's what you are.
Sorry 9:51 it just won't be the same. That title has to be earned.
10:00 Then the title is yours. Wait, you will have to share it with the other one who is also promoting and enabling a lie.
For the dumbass that is hung up on Allen Barrett.
STONE 1 the hard, solid, nonmetallic mineral matter of which rock is made, esp. as a building material:
• a small piece of rock found on the ground.
PEBBLE 1. a small stone made smooth and round by the action of water or sand.
ROCK 1 the solid mineral material forming part of the surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans.
• Geology any natural material, hard or soft (e.g., clay), having a distinctive mineral composition.
Now can we get on the topic.
Our EDC & Chamber should send this blog to every business considering coming to Giles County ... I'm sure it would be encouraging for them to see our civility. How engaged we are with county civics. How determined we are to root out corruption.
Someone suggested I come to this blog to read up on county issues. Knuckleheads go off-topic within 2 posts. Ignoramuses wax eloquent. Pathetic.
English Proffessor will you explain this?
"that I you are enabling"
I you?
Someone was to upset to read what they wrote before sending??
enabler of a lie
That was a typo and you know it.
How does "I you" become a typo of enabler of a lie?
Looks more like you aren't sure if it's suppose to be I or you.
That looks like stirred up.
10:30
enabler of a lie
You know better. Do you really have anything else?
Reading these useless posts is like attending open-mic night at Club Moron.
"7:55
That's a lie. I'm not stirred up. Just reminding you that I you are enabling the lie Allen Barrett told. Shall I call you enabler from now on? I think I shall. That's what you are.
Wednesday, July 23, 2014 9:51:00 PM"
JUST REMINDING YOU THAT I YOU ARE ENABLING THE LIE.
Should it be I or you?
When you couldn't find anything to say you shouldn't have commented on others sentence structure if you don't want your watched.
4:02 It's YOU...the enabler of a lie.
Just hit the wrong key and got an I. But I don't want to admit I did that. I wasn't stirred up.
looks like he hit the wrong key and got an extra F....again. Two typos suggest illiteracy.
6:13
On the contrary, typos, poor writing skills, and the like suggest that smart people do not worry about trivia like that. Even Einstein was a poor student. Do you have a point?
That's your problem enabler you trivialize the truth and magnify the lie. What a fine example you are for the devil.
8:14
enabler of a lie
No, you are the one who is enabling and promoting the lie Allen Barrett told about (or on) me. Will you also enable and promote the lie he told today about Shelly Goolsby, who, COINCIDENTALLY, is also running for 7th District commissioner? What about it?
I bet Einstein could spell "professor". Heck. I bet Frankenstein could too.
Back to correcting people's spelling. Then cry like a baby when someone checks yours. It's easy to hit a key to hard and it type twice or even hit the wrong key or just plan not hit the key hard enough.
To bad someone just don't have anything to do but try to find something to post about beside the subject of the thread.
10:41 Pm Was you the one correct Mr. Barrett's word and spelled it the same way he did? laughable
Which lie did Barrett tell "on" Goolsby, exactly? I would be curious to know if it's like the other lies you try to call him on. Is it like yours:baseless, unfounded and petty?
Barrett told a lie when he accused Mrs. Vanzant of recruiting Mrs. Goolsby. I want him to present his "proof" that he didn't lie as he always demands.
Did Mrs. Vanzant say to Mrs. Goolsby "Why don't you run for Commissioner?"
What proof do you have that she didn't? Seems like if you had any at all, which you don't, that you would post it. Wouldn't that put Barrett in his place? Of course it would, dumbass, but you can't do it.
5:01 Look, Barrett is lying, and that's all I'm going to say about it. He needs to reveal his "proof".
Why should Mr. Barrett reveal anything to you, 6:40? Because you say so? HA HA! Why don't you start revealing your proof of some of the asinine claims that you make? You with your ridiculous claims and mudslinging that you do, are in no position to make demands on anybody, especially Mr. Barrett. The biggest lie being, of course that your not an enabler. You've proven with every post that you will defend every unethical action that your hero engages in. You call it trouble making if others disagree with you or even dare ask you a question. Yeah, I'd say you are that last person who is in a position to tell Mr. Barrett what he needs to do.
That was an excellent post 6:57, not that it will get through to the enabler. He has great powers of selective listening. He only hears things the corrupted ones tell him.
Graham Stowe is moving on up and is going to win this election. He'll make a good County Executive! A qualified leader who knows how to lead instead of the way we've been used to (tax and spend).
Vote Stowe!
6:57/8:45
enablers
Look, Allen Barrett DEMANDS "proof" for a lot of things that he finds disagreeable. But how can you defend him in the lie he told about Mrs. Vanzant and Mrs. Goolsby? GHe lied about my being one who enables wrong, and you defend him on that as well.
If there are any enablers of wrong on this blog, it's you and the other individual who defend a known troublemaker who is NOT always truthful.
10:38
Sorry, but he is going to lose. He may be moving up, but the fact remains that he is little known and a lot of people believe him to be backed by the local troublemakers. Did they go out and recruit him? That's the rumor, and I've heard it all over town. Did they? Yes or no?
WHINEY BABY ... if you support Vanzant and the Harwells you are, in fact, an enabler of wrong doing and lies.
The enabler says that Barrett lies but never has facts to back up that accusation. Never, in the entire time he has been posting, has he offer the first shred of proof to that statement. Gossip, innuendo and outright lies are his fodder. It's not hard to see through his desperate plan.
I told Mr. Barrett about Mrs. Goolsby being a candidate. I was at the meeting of democrats when the matter was discussed and her name was brought up as a candidate. The plan was Janet would get her to run.
There you go enabler. Eat it!
10:28 Thank you! Now what have you to say cg? Watch him/her just come back with an attack against Barrett and ignore your post.
He has had ample opportunity to defend his position with facts and has been unable to do so. Now he's just sounding like a fool.
Guess cg is waiting for Mrs. Vanzant to tell him how to reply.
Bet all he comes up with will be an attack on Barrett which he claims he don't do.
10:28 That's simply not true. Even if it were, so what? I don't blame Mrs. Vanzant for wanting to keep a troublemaker off the commission.
Mr. Lindsey is the one who was recruited by none other than Charles Greene. Mr. Stowe is a known leader who has been in positions at the White House that just anybody could not have been in and Mr. Stowe is a very well liked Christian man in this community and can be trusted to do what he says.
He is what he says he is and he has my vote along with my family and friends.
8:55 He got my vote too, but I ate beans.
Mrs. Vanzant got mine.
Stowe a "Known Leader"? By whom? Aide to a Democratic President who was brought up on impeachment charges for lying about having sex with another aide? Was Stowe in the White House at that time?
Lindsey recruited by Charles Greene? Wrong again, Lindsey decided by himself and did not need to be recruited.
Mr.Stowe was not a democrat in the white house he was a highly qualified military aide and as such has no political involvement only job accomplishment. What Clinton did was representative of the democrats and those who supported him and helped cover up his crimes. The military had no hand in that.
Mr. Stowe is a highly educated, experienced leader who has been a great asset to this county since coming here, his contributions did not begin with this campaign. Ask the people at Ivy Crest about him and his family's involvement.
Because you haven't experienced his contributions doesn't mean he hasn't made any only that you are in a different circle of activity.
I have heard the rumors about Mr. Lindsey and Mr. Greene and also about him and Mr. Billard, I don't know if they are true and really don't care because regardless of why a person is the race it's their qualifications that that matter. Both Mr. Lindsey and Mr. Stowe are by far more qualified than Mrs. Vanzant who has proven to be unable to lead effectively and now very questionable financial misconduct.
I believe Mrs. Vanzant will be reelected only because the majority of the vote will be split between the two men.
8:39 And that is so sad.
What do Mr. Greene and Mr. Billard have to do with this election? I do know that Mr. Billard is a friend of Mr. Stowe's, has known Stowe before he came here, according to people at Walls Lumber in Campbellsville.
I agree that either Lindsey or Stowe will be a much better leader than Vanzant. But, I prefer a person who:
* Has lived in this County for over 20 years rather than a few years
* Has schooled his children in our County school system so he has a close knowledge of that system.
* Has given to our community for many years and has coached our children for many years.
* Goes to church in our community.
* Shops in our community.
* Been involved with community projects.
* Has proven management experience in public and private sectors.
* Does not "talk down" to the citizens of Giles County.
But that is my opinion. I am sure that there will be some who disagree.
10:07 are you saying in your post that unless you have lived here for over 20 years you should not be elected to any position or have any say in how your money is spent? If people don't have kids in school they can't know what the school is about, so people without kids or have grown kids that have moved away should never be elected to anything?
Having a ministry in the assisted care and nursing homes for many years don't count as much as if you coached a sports team of six year olds? It's more important that a person sits on a pew in Giles County than it is to be actively engaged in a church family outside the county. I'm sure those Giles County families that live in Ardmore and other border areas are overjoyed that they aren't really true Giles Countians because they attend church outside the county. Buying stuff at Wall's Lumber in Campbellsville isn't as important as shopping at Home Depot in Pulaski.. A person who lives half a mile from Lawrenceburg should drive fifteen miles to shop at Johnson's instead of at Kroger. Does shopping at WalMart qualify as contributing to the community or does it require smaller home owned stores?
This has got to be the worst yet, having an advanced degree in management and having commanded ships, and military posts along with management level in the White House is not as qualifying as a high school education and a few college classes in psychology then mismanaging the county finances for twelve years is.
It's very doubtful that anyone will tell you that Capt. Stowne has talked down to them. By virtue of his education Capt. Stowe may speak differently but by virtue of his strong Christian convictions he would never taik down to a person. On the other hand how often have you ever heard Mrs. Vanzant ever discuss an issue with citizens. Even if you felt like someone was talking down to you would than not be better than to be totally ignored?
Your comments 10:07 may sound good in your head but the fact is that are utterly preposterous attempt to discredit a man that stands head and shoulders above you but has the humility to not belittle you with his qualifications.
Mr. Barrett
Did you attend Sunrise Services this morning or did you l1eave after Sunday School? Just asking.
You know, the fact that you are stumping for DuBois made it easy for me to vote for his opponent. I figure it like this. Anyone you or that little group who NEVER meets secretly to plot and plan decides to sponsor and/or support doesn't get my vote. The fact that you and that little group support Mr. Stowe (no reflection on him intended) made it easy to vote for Mrs. Vanzant. I was going to vote for her anyway.
Stowe still has my vote. He's definitely the best choice. I ate beans too!
Republicans of Giles County, You should be ashame to have a meeting and not let whinney cg know about it.
Why you got someone he don't like get elected.
As for me a former Democrat is only voting for Republicans.
It is a true blessing that Mr. Stowe, a gentleman of undisputed character, has Allen Barrett as his spokesman.
That in itself speaks volumes.
People can't help who supports them. Mrs. Vanzant can't help you support her and you have hurt her.
I feel sorry for her, best I remember she was sick after the elction last time. I'm afraid all this shit is going to get to her again.
I think a lot of people want to hurt you and are taking it out on Mrs. Vanzant. God bless Mrs. Vanzant she can't help how her supports act.
God Bless Mr. Stowe he can't help who his supports are.
Well for your information I attend church on Saturday evening and last night was a glorious time of sharing in the baptism of 300 souls divided between last night and this morning.
Capt. Stowe doesn't need me to be his spokesman I simply responded to an arrogantly isolationist post that told people they were not good enough to a part of Giles County.
I have to wonder with that type attitude have you ever worked for any of those "outsiders" that will never be accepted into this community. No wonder they county is continuing to lose population and business with that warm welcome mat you have placed at the county doors.
Capt. Stowe or Mr. DeBois has no more control of who supports them than obama has over your support for him. I am supporting every conservative that is running in my districts and out that's why I support Joe Carr instead of the democrat lamar alexander who voted with obama more than half the time, voted to give the UN power over our guns and for amnesty to illegals and supports a twelve cents per gallon tax increase on gasoline.
You see unlike you when I go to church and read my Bible I take it to heart that a man's character is important and our relationship with Jesus the Christ prohibits me support anyone I would know to be of low character such as liars and thieves and abusers of those they govern.
Barrett...
You say that unlike me, you take to heart what the Bible says. Again, I thought you guys were all against presuming the thoughts and intents of another's heart? How dare you to judge me? You really are a snake. Unlike you, I am not one who is pretty much described in Proverbs 6 16-19.
Never made a judgement on your heart just your head enabler. It's your behavior not your heart that makes you an enabler. I don't even know you other than by what you post and that is clearly the behavior of an enabling person.
Barrett
That's a lie. Why can't you be truthful? You did judge me, and you have no right. And, as you said, how can you judge me when you don't even know me?
You continue to lie when you call me an enabler. Your problem with me is the fact that I disagree with how you treat people and do not share your views. This is why you should not be on the county commission. What happens when someone on the commission has the audacity to disagree with you? Would you blow up and start calling people names and making all sorts of mean-spirited accusations? I'll bet you would.
I will leave you with some Bible verses for you to consider. I refer you to Proverbs 6:16-19 and Matthew 7:12.
6:43 show me one lie that I have told for there is nothing I have claimed that I did not show evidence for. Are you not aware that there are dozens of people just like you who are using a fine comb on every statement that I make just looking for something to discredit me with? So far not once have I been proven wrong on this blog because I don't post anything that I cannot prove. The fact that you are indeed an enabler of wrongdoing has a greater amount of proof than perhaps any other statement I have made in my lifetime. You seem to be the only person on the planet that continues to deny your enabling activities.
I have every right and responsibility to judge behavior which I do both yours and mine, I have no right or responsibility to judge one's heart other than to say as does the Bible that "the heart "motivation" is a deceiver". I have never issued a judgement on anything but your behavior and your words.
When people disagree with me they always have an opportunity to explain their reasoning and through that discussion we have an opportunity to change out minds or acres to disagree. The oily problem is when people like you demand I believe something simply because they say it's so, and especially when they have past problems with credibility. It's like you saying you are not and enabler of wrong doing because YOU say you are a Christian and a gentleman then sign as anonymous thus giving absolutely nothing to base the idea that you are either a Christian or a gentleman. Ask commissioners other than those I have exposed as liars and thieves and see what they say about having conversations with me.
Since you want to share Bible verses let me leave you with this one,
"Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them"
Eph 5:11 NASV
10:07 You speak as if you know that Graham Stowe has connections to Pierre Ballard, of the Charter fame. That is absolutely false. Anyone can tell you that it is Pierre Ballard who is actually Danny Lindsey's handler. Back in the spring, Lindsey could't even attend a county meeting without the short leash Ballard kept him on. And it is also true that Danny Lindsey has tried his best to blur the lines between the two military men running for County Executive office. Why hasn't Lindsey told us what his rank was in the Army? We're told over and over that he was an officer. What was his rank? Although I agree that either of the two men running for office would be better than Janet, only one is his own man and will not bow down to the Pulaski clique. And that man is Graham Stowe.
Another thing that Lindsey is trying to blur is his political affiliations. He is a Democrat. You can check his voting records. Why is he constantly trying to have his picture taken with state Republicans like Beth Harwell or drop Barry Doss's name? He is a pretender. Just like all of the other Democrats running as "independent," he is apparently ashamed for people to know his true colors.
And to say that Graham Stowe "talks down" to people…what a joke. He is one of the most humble men I have ever met. Considering his accomplishments, it is surprising that he has remained humble, but I'm sure that is from his Christian foundation.
We have a unique opportunity to elect someone who will work for all the people of the county and not just a select few. Go to votestowe.com and check out Graham Stowe. You will see that he indeed stands head and shoulders above the competition.
I have known Danny for years and like him a lot. That being said, liking a person isn't the same as thinking one would be the best at serving the citizens. It's hard to look at Capt.Stowe's qualifications and believe that he's not the best candidate. I think the only way to get this county out of the hole it's in is by electing someone like Stowe. I like Janet as well, but we need someone up there to move us forward and she ain't getting it done.
After 12 years it's time for a change.
I agree 1:13. If you'll look on Capt. Stowe's site, at least he has a plan. I only hope it's not too late.
Never too late to vote against a nut. I read the hypocritical webpage: I support the local school system, but I won't send my children there. The Charter was a good idea. Giles County churches are wonderful, but I wouldn't attend any of them.
Nope; never too late to learn all we can about a candidate.
10:10 You are so right, It's never to late to learn about a canidate.
Do you think using tax payers money to pay someone for being at a meeting they got to when it was over?
So you think the fact that he home schools his children (by the way, he explained why if you take the time to read) or goes to a friend's church in Florence makes him less qualified? Seems to be a pretty narrow scope of what makes a person a good choice. How do you ever pick who to vote for?
I pick those who use Giles County services to manage Giles County services. Just makes sense to me.
Barrett
you were wrong when you falsely accused me of willfully going along with things I know to be wrong. You lied and have too much pride to admit it. You also lied about Mrs. Vanzant's asking Mrs. Goolsby to run to keep you off the commission. Those were lies.
I'm not going to argue back and forth with you anymore. It's pointless. But, I will leave you with the Bible verses I mentioned recently. Read (and ponder) Prover2bs 6:16-19 and Matthew 7:12. Let's add Romans 14:1 and Romans 12:3 to th1e equation to the mix.
You know, I would laugh at the way this contrived war against the 7th District and Mrs. Vanzant has heated up, but it's really pretty sad. And the talk about Mr. Stowe is troubling. I do NOT think he is best for Giles County, and please don't accuse me of being against him because he is an outsider. That would be a lie. And I will never (unlike you) try to smear him in any way, shape or form. But the thing I find most troubling about his candidacy is that those like you and the little group who NEVER meets are pushing and supporting him. Just like DuBois, I voted against him when I saw one of his signs in your yard.
To 10:10 & 10:36
How about a candidate who:
Maintains their own dirt road but supports the Hwy Dept. Supports pediatricians but prefers holistic medicine. Supports funding the library, New Canaan Ranch & the Boys/Girls Club, but doesn't use them. Wants the courthouse roof fixed but never goes in there. Doesn't go to church but thinks religion is good for a culture. Public schooled their children, even taught for awhile, but wants their grandchildren homeschooled.
I can't take issue w/ the way you vote, but you sure can't sway others with your inconsistent biases. You're the type that would vote against someone for doing business in Huntsville or Columbia, right after putting in your order to Amazon.
AMEN 7:38
I shop where ever I want to. I go to church where ever I want.
I think other people should do whatever they want. It's none of my bussiness or CG or Barrett or anyone else.
To bad s certain person don't realize the more he attacks the worse it gets for the one he wants to win. The more the one he wants to win has people watching every move they make.
Yes I too voted against Dubois when I saw the sign in Barrett's yard! Dubois might be a great person but that sign says a lot! Barrett you should put up more and let the voters know who you support!
It would seem that the folks cruising by Barrett's house to see what signs he has up have the real problem. Nice way to choose a candidate dumbasses.
Once again the enabler proves his title is earned. You most certainly did try to smear Stowe, on this very blog. You tried to imply that he and another candidate might be in someone's pocket. Go back and read you own posts before you make a bigger fool of yourself and deny it again.
Someone thinks so much of Barrett they are ridiing by his house trying to see him? What does tht say about them? hmmm.
Would you stop going to Dr. Savage, Dr. Beahll or any other doctor that home schools their children. You do not know the reason for any of this so don't be so judgemental of the ones that are diferent than you. I am so sick of the enabler I wish Mr. Barrett would close this blog down. Don't say I do not have to read it, I do it to get news which is the purpose of the blog in the first place.
6:23 I'm with you. I read this blog to see what's going on in Giles County. That's the only place you really hear the news about our county government.
It's to bad cg can't post something beside attacks to try and get the blog about him. Then things get crazy. Others try to get as silly as cg.
I have friends who live out near Green Acres, and I just happened by Barrett's house and saw the DuBois sign. That's when I decided to vote for whoever was running against him. I didn't even know that was Barrett's house until I saw his own campaign sign in his yard. I knew that had to be his home, because I've not seen his sign in anybody else's yard.
And I'm Santa Claus.
8:17 How many houses between Jerry Bryant and Barrett?
When are you going to admit you lied about not posting yesterday?
Not likely 8:17. A stalker always knows where his prey lives.
I heard there was a band concert at his house.
I have never seen such bitterness and jealousy among three very hateful individuals in my entire life. Thank God, the voters of Giles County have sense enough to keep such dangerous and troublemaking people out of our county government. They are looking for a foothold anywhere they can get it, so beware and vote against them and the ones they are promoting.
And so like you to conveniently look over the bitterness and jealously dripping from other posts, including yours. By the way, here's another post you evidently forgot.

Cg has lost it with his bitternmess. He can't remember his post. Strange because he is usually the first post of a morning. Maybe he is doing it in his sleep.
Is Mrs. Vanmant sill putting Mrs. Coleman's name down as being at the entire meeting when it's over when she arives?
Did someone get caught in a lie?
The enabler has a consistent record of lying. He also has a very low approval rate in the community. I was at early voting and kind of conversationally steered the discussion around the this blog. Four out of the six people I was talking to rolled their eyes and spoke of the enabler. That was the exact word they used for him. They obviously knew who he was, but I admire them for not saying. To of them did, however, cut their eyes over to an individual standing so it didn't take much deducing to realize that was either someone close to him or the enabler himself. Time's running out; perhaps you should stop saying "attack" every other word.
What would the enabler be doing hanging around where people vote? Shouldn't be allowed.
I've hear a lot talk about the enabler. He is very much disliked in this county.
I thought I smelled something when I went to vote today. Must of been standing around farting those things he thinks smells good.
So the enabler still want admit he lied about not posting on Monday.
It certainly kills his very soul to admit when he's wrong. Looks like he would be used to it by now. Perhaps he fears someone is on to him because of the election thing.
I've been off this trashy blog now for a couple of days, and I see the enablers of Barrett's low-down lie are at it as usual. What a laugh.
6:51 Is that like the lie you told about not posting Monday?
At least we haven't been given a Bible verse to read that also fit you. laughable.
Why enabler, did your friend at the election commission tell you people were on to you? I haven't seen that many eye rolls since vanzant's last speech. You really can't count, can you enabler? You were on here yesterday. How is that a couple of days? I guess you just forgot again.
7:47 You know he wouldn't lie he's a Christian. I wonder what his brothers and sisters in chruch think about him.
yawn
Has anyone seen an apology?

9:59 As I said, cite the post. If I did make the post and forgot, I will admit it. It could be that I made a post before I left the house that day, but I honestly don't think so. While you are "citing", please allow me to refer you to Exodus 20:16 and I Peter 3:16.

It just occurred to me that it's pointless to argue with the troublemakers, so may I suggest some Bible passages for us all to read and consider? How about Proverbs 6:16-19 and Matthew 7:12. More later.

Cite the post? I was on here last night. But I wasn't on here during those two days. It's like the man who said he missed two days of work. That doesn't mean he disappeared or became a nonperson dur9ing the evening hours. Do you really want to argue this "point"?
Ding-a-ling Calling the Christian Gentleman.
You posted on Monday July 28 and gave Bible verses for people to read. Why want you admit it. You are making people wonder about you.
CG the enabler is often saying to WAB, “Stop lying.”
Don’t you think he needs to take his own advice?

Read Proverbs 6:16-19 and Matthew 7:12. Make the proper application and stop with the jealousy and resentment. It's YOUR fault that the voters don't want you. Think about that.
Calling me names only makes you look worse. And I have decided that it is a waste of time to argue back and forth with you and those other two, so I will leave you with some Bible verses from time to time in hopes that you will have that Eureka Moment wherein you will come to realize what you are doing.

Between having no idea of the difference between "want" and "won't" and being clueless as to how to spell "denied", you last 2 (or is it the same person) posters are killing me.
Then die already or stop reading the comments. Either one would be fine with me.
Enabler, you know damn well your were on here the 28th. You have said you would apologize but have yet to do so. Are you so accustomed to lying that it just doesn't bother you anymore? I guess so. The only point you have could easily be hidden by wearing a big hat. You're welcome.
Enabler Enabler lie, lie, lie!
I really don't understand why you won't say I forgot. I'm sorry I did post Monday.
Even your friends are begining to wonder about you.
I know 4:46, right? If pride goeth before a fall, then the enabler is about ready to bust his ass big-time.
Maybe they have a room reserved for him at Life Spring.
I'm wondering if he will be around to see he won his votes when the election is over.
I think his buddies will win because so many can't believe he lies like he does.

If I did post on that date, cite the post, and I will be glad to say "Sorry; I forgot". Ok.
I wish you two would stop promoting the lie One Shot started on me.
Jesus please us enabler, the post has already been cited time after time. Are you stupid as well as being an enabler? I believe you are. Have your wife read it to you; maybe then you can comprehend the meaning.

Poor enabler still wont apoloize.
Why do you insist on saying "if?" There is no if. You wrote it so just apologize without the stipulation. It's not the end of the world for you to admit you were wrong. You really should be used to it by now.
4:24 Sounds like Janet Vanzant doesn't it. Guess it runs in the family.
Janet
I am so embarrassed that there's this little group in Giles County who is bent of giving you a hard time. May God bless and keep you and your family.
And for your attackers, I'd just like to ask one question. Is it any wonder why so many would not vote for a Republican candidate in Giles County? I wouldn't, even though I do not agree with some of the other party's views.
I agree with 8:01 I am so embarrassed that there is this little group led by Janet Vanzant that has financially raped this county and with their lies, abuse and bully tactics. Even the newspaper has supported the abuse by not reporting on the abuses. They even allowed a letter attacking Republicans last week after saying that there would be no political letters printed during the election. There ain't many people here that don't know that the county is run by a small group and Vanzant is just a puppet.
Mrs. Vanzant I am also sorry you and your family are being attacked so. Just stop and think Mr. Barrett and the Whinney enabler are the cause of it.
Mr. Barrett tells something on you, then whinney enabler instead of telling why what he said was wrong he attacks Barrett, then others take it up and run you down to get even with whinney.
Enabler, you really should speak with JV. She is on record as saying that while she's sure you have the best of intentions, you don't realize the harm you are causing. You should stop being so selfish and think about other people for a change.
Once again the enabler proves to be a liar. He wrote at 6:46 Friday 1 Aug " I have no personal agenda against Allen Barrett"
But on 3 Aug. at 2:02 he wrote, "You are right. I do have something personal against One Shot. I believe he is a wicked man".
So not only does he lie about a personal feeling toward Barrett he judges his heart as being a wicked man. CG the enabler has a greater power than Jesus in determining who is wicked and who isn't well at least in his own perverted mind.
enabler of One Shot
Fourth thread in a row. You are a lunatic. As for Janet, I know what you are saying is a lie, How I know that to be a lie is none of your business, and I don't owe you any explanation.
Forth one for you as well enabler. Where did 8:22 say anything about vanzant? You seem to be speaking of yourself when you say lunatic. Forgetting things again?
Come on cG how about showing what you're made of and answer the question 8:22 asked or is that another comment you just happened to forget about? Looks like a real crisis of truth inside your head enabler of wrong.
8:22 Did not mention Janet's name. What a liar the enabler is.
10:28 Are you just now finding what a liar he is? Did you not see where he said he wasn't on the blog, then when it was proved to him he was he ignored it for the longest.
He claimed he was a Christian then lies on the blog for everyone to see. Wonder if his preacher never preached on lying.
Oh hell enabler, I'm not asking for an explanation. It wouldn't make you any more believable if you gave one anyway. I know what I know.
He also claims he doesn't attack Barrett because of his Christian status, but that is just another lie. Once again, an indirect attack on Allen back when jv's car was vandalized:
" Anonymous said...
This is strictly hearsay, but it was said that one of the people who detained Mr. Stafford asked him if Allen Barrett had anything to do with it. I'm not saying that is true. Just wondered if anyone else has heard this? Either way, that's a sad indictment of a person's reputation."
Wednesday, March 27, 2013 5:45:00 PM
Casting doubt on someone, even if it's a lie, is a form of attacking. When will the enable realize that he is guilty of the very things he accuses others of doing?
Even the enabler should be smart enough to know that people are eager to believe lies told on someone. Case in point is Richard Jewell. He had absolutely nothing to do with the bombing, yet his life was ruined because someone accused him of it. Having never claimed that I do not judge people's heart, I am sure that is what the enabler had in mind. BTW enabler, suck it.
enabler of One Shot (aka Barrett)
Here you are again but joined by the other individual on this particular thread.
I just had to respond to what someone said about Mrs. Vanzant's car being vandalized sometime ago. It truly is a sad indictment of Barrett's reputation for the officer to ask if Barrett had anything to do with this. Would you at least agree with me on that? Or, what spin can you possibly put on it?
Personally, I don't believe anyone said anything of the sort. BTW, I'm not Barrett you ignorant bastard. That particular delusion is getting quite old; try another. I just found it typical that you were smearing Barrett over a year ago. You have a real problem enabler.
Lying again enabler? Back when it happened you said "one of the people who detained..." and now you are saying "the officer." You just can't keep your tales straight, can you? My condolences to your family.
5:45 You know damned well it was not hearsay but just in your feeble mind to associate Mr. Barrett with Wayne Stafford in the vandalizing of Mrs. Vanzant's car, the video shows Stafford acted alone. Get this - Barrett supporters were laughing that it was actually "one of your own" doing the vandalizing. Allen Barrett is not that stupid nor would he ever dream of vandalizing, period!
Stafford and Vanzant were big buddies until she double-crossed him and he tried to pay her back. That's her pattern she uses people until they aren't useful then she discards them like a load of crap. Ask Stafford why he did it and you'll see how she treated him and a lot of others.
Lying enabler, as Mr. Barrett involved in the car deal? No you just like to smear him, then piss in your pants when your buddies are told on.
enabler of One Shot
You can call me nasty names til the cows come home but it doesn't matter. What I said about the "officer" was hearsay, BUT lots of people have heard this as well. And isn't it a sad indictment of a person's reputation to have someone say that?
You are known for your exaggerations enabler. Does it hurt much when you talk out of your ass like that?
6:53 a reputation is what others may think of you good or bad, true or false I have very little concern for reputations.
Character on the other hand is of great importance to me that's why I seek to protect mine with a consistency of truth.
I approach people not based on their reputation but on their character, giving each person the same opportunity to disprove their reputation by displaying their character. Unfortunately there are some who have sold their character, their integrity for a few coins and temporary positions of importance.
Lying enabler, Do you remember when Mr. Barrett use to say som,ething about the motorcycle parked at the courthouse, the person that had so many sick days?
Wasn't that Wayne Stafford. So you think Wayne would even like Mr. Barrett after that? No you just wanted to take slur at Barrett. Yes I'm making a crack at your Christianity, I don't believe Christians would act like you do.
He's big on repentance. Perhaps he just repents every day after acting decidedly unlike a Christian. Otherwise, he might as well sleep in on Sunday. Yes enabler, I am judging you. Just wanted to be clear on that.
When you sin in front of someone aren't you suppose to repent in front of them?
The enabler lied about posting July 28 on the blog where others could see, so I don't think praying for his sins at homw covers that.
The enabler first brought the Bible into the blog a long time ago.
11:58 Lying enabler of One Shot
I am not the one who said there was anything between One Shot and Wayne Stafford. All I said is that the officer wanted to know if Barrett was involved. I never said he was. And, would you agree with me that to think such a thing is a terrible indictment on one's reputation?
ENABLER surely you know that repeating "hearsay" is nothing but gossip so you should keep your big trap shut.
I think it proves the officer that suggested it was not a nice person. Same thing about the person that repeats things like that.
6:55 Of course; I knew there was a logical explanation. The officer was not nice. What a laugh.
The office shouldn't of said anything. He didn't know much about Barrett and Stafford or he would of know that wasn't true.
Ding-a-ling did you see the video of it. If not David Rackley may still have a copy.
What atrocious grammar.
9:05 Did someone step on your toes?
I doubt seriously if an officer would ask the enabler anything. The first time the made the allegation it was just a person. He later changed it to an officer. I guess that sounded more important to him.
Has anyone noticed when the enabler gets caught where he can't think of something to say, the word Grammer comes up?
I can assure you he would never use the word "grammer".
He never hits the wrong key. hehe
I noticed cg is watching very carefully what he post today, but still gets his digs in.
He lost a couple votes didn't he. Remember he said Coleman and Harwell would win.
8:32
enabler of the sore loser
Look, I knew your guy was going to lose, in spite of the one shot votes he obviously got. Otherwise, his grand total would probably have been less than 150 votes.
Now, as far as Terry Harwell goes, It's unfortunate that he wasn't re-elected, but that's how it goes. Still, I'm glad we have Mrs. Goolsby. And even if she had not been running, your guy would have still come in last place WELL BEHIND Mr. Harwell.
5:57 You have lost it. I wouldn't matter if they ovter for Barrett only or for two more people and Barrett it ouldn't change how many votes he got.
I count 193 votes he got. Did 193 people only vote for WAB I don't know and you don't either.
I've heard several say the fine Christian Gentleman lost the election for Terry Harwell and almost lost it for Mrs. Vanzant.
I think Mrs. Goolsby will do a fine job and not play with her phone. She got my one vote.
6:35
You have heard a LOT of people say that a Christian helped Terry lose the election. Are you insane. When will you, the other enabler, and the sore loser be able to move past this?
"I have very little concern for reputations". -Allen Barrett
Obviously.
The enabler's crystal ball was a little cloudy when it showed him harwell coming in first, wasn't it? That, at least, was a great thing for Giles county.
But it was right on the money in Barrett coming in last.
Gloating again. What does the Bible say about gloating?
5:48
Gloating? Isn't that what 1:56 was doing? And then when 2:59 mentioned Barrett's coming in last, you call it gloating. Ridiculous.
7:17, we all know you are 2:59 as well. The difference between cg and I is the fact that I never claimed to be a Christian. I am free to gloat as much as I please.
7:17 You are the only one got on the blog and claimed to be a Christian. 1:56 didn't so he has the right to gloat.
I will agree with 1:56 your crystal ball was wrong and you can take the credit it for it.
Look how close you came to getting Mrs. Vanzant beat. You wasn't for Tommy Cambell and look at his lead. Way to go.
If I was running I wouldn't want you or Mr. Barrett on my team.
12:29/1:49
Are you stupid or what? The ONLY reason I ever said I was a Christian on this blog is because of the low-down lie Allen Barrett told on me. My best and only defense to his lie is that I am a Christian. He also wanted additional "proof" that I wasn't a female. Hence...gentleman.
LOOK, the election is over and your guy lost FOR A THIRD TIME. Why can't you stop the troublemaking now, and try to behave in a civil manner toward those you resent and envy?
Sounds like someone can't take the heat. Does he need to go change his pants or pray for forgiveness?
He should begin to acclimate himself to the heat as pseudo-Christians like him generally go to a place that is quite warm indeed.
5:19
So you have been appointed as judge of Christians?
I have as much right judge as you do.
Judging from your posts 1:09, the question of you being a Christian is open for debate. A real Christian doesn't just go to church when the doors are open, they act Christ-like all the time. Unfortunately, you fail miserably in that respect. As far as judging you, you are right; I'm not supposed to do that. I can, however, utilize spiritual discernment. All things point to you being a hypocrite.
