What will the City's political landscape be when the election cycle begins roughly one year from now? There are many factors.
- Will Villa Hills still have its own local police department or will Martin have successfully completed his vendetta seeking revenge against the VHPD for his 2007 forgery arrest?
- Will there be one, two or perhaps even more people running against Martin next year? Rumors are swirling around a number of potential candidates who want to take on the malfeasant Martin. The more people that attempt to oust the diminutive dictator increase the odds that the unworthy liar will be re-elected and given an undeserved new life to "unleash his lawlessness" on the City.
- Will the election be about the past, settling old scores? Or, will the election properly be framed by the undeniable fact that all of the previous four years will surely have been a miserable failure that needs very little reminder with almost all the focus on the future of what could again be one of the preeminent Cities in Northern Kentucky?
- Will the mendacious Martin roll-out some draconian cost-cutting measures to try to deflect the voters away from the waste and abject failure that exemplifies most of his failed term? Most on our staff believe that is very likely.
- Will some voters fall victim to the proclamations made by elected officials who inexplicably prefaced so many serious questions about Martin's mismanagement with the nonsensical comment, "this isn't about Martin?"-when of course it's all about Martin.
- Will some voters still buy in to the hateful and tired-out venom about "good old boy networks" and "unauthorized spending" that will certainly be spewed by the vile, ancient crocodile Councilman Mary Koenig-who herself is a leading figure in "the bad old boys network?
- Will anybody still believe the dim-witted nitwits who continue to roll out the bilge that Martin "does wonderful things for people" or foolishly proclaim that they "trust this (dishonest) mayor"? Most of our staff suspects at least some voters will buy it.
Why? Because we know exactly what kind of campaign that "little bastard" Martin will run. Martin will falsely talk about all of the money he has "saved" the residents-despite his reckless and profligate waste.
Additionally, Martin's die-hard-and dwindling-surrogates will spread all manner of false allegations against his 2014 opponent. Much as these same doofus clowns did against his 2010 opponent. And why not? As all good football coaches know, run the same damned play until your opponent figures out a way to stop it.
So here is how a successful Martin opponent stops it. We firmly believe that the candidate who focuses solely on the future of a recently-proud City, and simply assumes that the voters understand that Martin is an unmitigated disaster- while almost never saying it-will be a hands-down winner.
Yup, the little bastard will lose in a landslide of epic proportions if his opponent runs the correct kind of campaign.
