It seems she is content to bask in the idea that she is perceived as progressive, but doesn't feel the need to follow through on anything of substance. I for one am tired of supporting people who campaign one way, then once elected act as if they are ashamed of progressive ideals and won't work to develop and implement a truly progressive agenda. And rumor has it she is one of several people being considered by some disgruntled powers that be to take on Jim Cooper in the next election. Sad that once again we'll have only gutless people to choose from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-27366778982948604452009-08-13T11:07:19.999-05:002009-08-13T11:07:19.999-05:00I understand what you're saying here Mike. Whe...I understand what you're saying here Mike. When Barry needs the votes its 'rally around progressive friends' but when you need her support its all so politically considered. It's not about trading votes and support per se - its about a progressive agenda and not just her agenda. I am disappointed in her as well. She's not really so good at helping many neighborhood leaders who supported her feel supported in return.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-53172480992207699252009-08-13T08:35:07.608-05:002009-08-13T08:35:07.608-05:00From the way you tell the story, a friend in Distr...From the way you tell the story, a friend in District 19 asked for your help in getting Gilmore to support the bill. Yes, Megan Barry contacted your friend, but I'm guessing that your friend truly supports the bill and is not a robot that does everything Barry says. Why not contact Gilmore because you support your friend's efforts?<br /><br />Obviously, you have the right to pick which issues to devote your time, but your logic for not contacting Gilmore strikes me as petty. If the bill doesn't pass, it won't be your fault, but nor will it make Barry more likely to support your issues.<br /><br />I may be wrong, but I'm assuming that you're not in a category that would be protected by the ordinance. If that's the case, enjoy your privilege. Must be nice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232107709580273251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-61898976981058686022009-08-12T10:50:12.542-05:002009-08-12T10:50:12.542-05:00I believe that's American Staffordshire terrie...I believe that's American Staffordshire terrier.
