Why? A large part of the problem is the group that populates the Civic Club bar virtually every night derisively called "Dead Pecker's Row". These vine-swinging mouth-breathers sit around spreading lies, hate and discontent night after miserable night. They also make everyone else who may wander in to the bar feel very unwelcome. Unless of course they are willing to swear a blood oath to malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin.
Sources tell us that the Civic Club is planning another "Meet the Candidates" night some time in October. Boy howdy, is that great news! Will it be the 2012 version of the disgraceful HILLBILLY HOEDOWN that was held just two years ago? Given the fact that "Dead Pecker's Row" is fielding its' very own candidate this year-Martin chief henchman and co-defendant in a LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION LAWSUIT- Dale Schaber, this "forum" could very well be AN EVEN BIGGER DISGRACE.
Unfortunately, this is so predictable. The Martinites will fill the Civic Club with their liquored-up cronies, prepped to ask falsely-framed questions designed to embarrass and intimidate Martin's "enemies". For instance:
- How can you justify wasting so much money on this mean-spirited witch hunt against such a wonderful person like Mayor Martin?
- Given the fact that there are terrific candidates like Dale Schaber, Mary Koening, Holly B. Isenhour-Menninger, Brian Wischer, Herman Goering and Jim Cahill running, why have you even bothered to try to run for re-election?
- How can you sleep at night when you are unfairly persecuting a great man who goes to Haiti, belongs to the Lions, leaves church to unclog toilets and is president and sole member of the Villa Hills Historical Society?
- Why do you refuse to work with Mayor Martin when at least 75% of the people of Villa Hills worship him?
- Mayor Martin has found $30,000 three times. How much money have you found?
- Do you have an Occupational License? Do ya? Well, do ya? Huh? Huh?
