First, 5 Democrats on the City -County Council agree with me. To make it seem like I am extreme is kind of silly. The vote broke down 18 to 11 against ordinance 68-2005 -Democrats and Republicans together voted this ordinance down. I simply agree with City-County Councilors Patrice Abduallah(D),Sherron Franklin(D),Ron Gibson(D),Mary Moriarty Adams(D),Steve Talley(D) and the 13 out of 14 Republicans that voted this ordinance down. <BR/> <BR/>Do these five Democrats display hatred and gay bigotry? Maybe you should write more about them. <BR/> <BR/>Does Bob Croddy display hatred and gay bigotry? No -I don't think so. The fact is...I have only love in my heart for my fellow man/woman. I am no judge or jury on these matters. I have love in my heart for you not bigotry. I have read my press release several times. Nowhere do I read hatred or bigotry. <BR/> <BR/>The way I see it this urban Republican born and raised in Center Township has a good pulse of the people here in Marion County’s 7th. My family dates back close to 100 years in Center Township. I understand the people I come from just fine. My pulse seems to be in-line with thousands of Democrats in Marion County. <BR/><BR/>I understand the man who wrote this article is from Illinois. I don’t know many people from Illinois. <BR/><BR/>Again, I agree with the 5 Democrats City-County Councilors in Marion County but with only love in my heart for my fellow citizen.<BR/> <BR/>Bob CroddyBob Croddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463663299144052774noreply@blogger.com
