Ohhh there once was a man who thought he had a plan. He wanted to bring in a bar but the people said har har har. Sorry Justin, that's the best I've got. I can't think up any lyrics about a farmers market.  |

Who has the video that was not destroyed of Lamar cussing and telling RICHARD BELCHER AND CREW from ATLANTA t. v. that he owned this blank blank town and to get off the property . This was before he became commissioner . The crew was investigating a paved road by the county and it was Lamar's private property I have been told .

I remember it well. As I recall he was wearing a baseball cap with a familiar logo on it. |

Wiseman : Have been wondering if you remember the infamous Rosco Dean of Jessup Ga. and if so , do you see a lot of similarities comparing him with Lamar ?

I've heard of Roscoe Dean, but don't know anything about him. My mother spent a lot of her growing up living in and around Jesup, and my brother lives there now.
I think the most outrageous politician I can remember is Sheriff Poppell from McIntosh County (Darien). Back in the sixties, he owned ALL the wild hogs, unless one ran out in front of you and messed up your car. He had the stop light at the bottom of the bridge turned upside down to "catch" and fine the drivers who were color blind! Yep, the red light was on bottom, the green on top! If you had an out of town tag, you got pulled over and ticketed for something. If you had an out of state tag, you might as well figure on at least a couple nights in jail to go with your fine!
Oh yeah, he was a piece of work!

Justin, someday I'm going to fix the audio on this Ubuntu box. It was like watching silent movies. Perhaps, if I get caught up making the donuts at work tomorrow, I can play it on a box at work.

Tony is just doing what he thinks is best for bringing business to the county because he recognizes the need. Tony never said anything about a bar. Nobody wants to see a bar in this county. Is there a song about wanting to bring a farmer's market to town? If we utilize the same logic we can use that song to sum up Mr. Paris' platform. And it would be equally ridiculous. I guess I missed something. I guess I need to read the response(s) to my kidding around. The word around town is Tony will sign license to sell alcohol if he is elected. No, I doubt if there are songs about "This town needs a bar". It just wouldn't have the same effect. Jerome McComb - Town Needs A Farmer's Market Who builds a town, without a neon light, There should be a place where the lonely go on Saturday, for people just like me Who just wanna disappear in the corn and cabbage, Maybe drop a couple ears. Chorus: This town needs a farmer's market, Cause I need a green tomato, A little place not to far, Where I can fry it with my potato, Or wonder who is Tony Dyer, You're right Mr. Jay, It is ridiculous. |

It was a good joke, manape. And your new song is great! You have missed your calling. Yes, Tony will let the liquor flow, but that does not mean that there will be bars. Bars increase law enforcement costs and the Republican Sheriff candidates and I don't want them! I hope Tony feels the same way. You might add a line to your song about moonshine under the farmer's market tables if Tony gets in. : )

Great video, Justin!!! I love your passion, seriousness and intensity. And the fact that you know the time and place to use humor. Thank-you. I know a Lamar supporter that sent me an unkind email, that would disagree with you! This person said my campaign was a joke and my videos were silly. "Silly" is the word the Lamar braintrust came up with to label my efforts and that's why they keep using it over and over again. Its a desperate attempt by a few elites to discredit me, because they know if I get in I'll rock their world because there will be no more special favors for them. But anyway, this person said I could rest assured that I did not have their vote. I feel better now as if this person did support me, they would be sending another candidate rude emails, and embarrassing me. Posting on a forum is one thing, but I hope and pray that my supporters have more class than to write or call other candidates for the sole purpose of insulting them. |
