Should Carty Resign?

Thoughts on this are avaiable on my blog

I came to the conclusion a long time ago, that no matter who is elected president or mayor, regardless if you voted for the person or not - within 2 years everybody's bitching about the elected person & blaming the elected person for everything wrong in the world. I've also noticed that at that 2 year disillusionment mark, many people who voted for that person won't even admit it. I voted for Ford, Bush, & Carty 2 times - and regretted Ford deeply, and am disappointed with Bush, and mildly disappointed in Carty (because I knew going into a vote for Carty what his personality was - no surprises.) I get furious & saddened with many Bush related events (or non-events) - but know in my heart that he is still far better than a Gore or Clinton would have been. And I still trust him more with this country than I would for most of those planning to run for president. If Carty ran next election against Ford - I'd still vote for Carty.

For all the bitching about Carty..he's still holding a 74% retention lead. Granted, it's only 27 votes so far..but it looks like the complaint department isn't as strong as they claim.

So true..so true. It's sad to me but I voted against Ford more than I voted for Carty. Not that I carry the bitter hate for him so do, I just wonder if he shouldn't change direction some since so many are none too happy? If I were in his shoes, I'd start listening to the "people " a lil more, and relpace my advisors with some common sense people that actually understand the issues facing Toledo.

Personally, I kinda like ole' Carty. He's interesting, driven and passionate about a great deal. I don't always agree with his decisions, but I respect his success(of which there are many) and he can't be all bad because he's been the choice 3 times. Even if the last was more a split decision..he still won by a landslide.

If nothing else, this is an excellent time to pay attention and figure out where to go next. Thanks for all the comments.

I did the poll for several reasons.

To see where support really is in terms of Carty.
To prove that lip service is useless without action.
To the check the "Spines" of the public at large.
To see reasons behind a vote either way.
To guage the impact of media, gossip and ridicule.

There was a simple reason for the yes/no only format. It doesn't matter what rational anyone may have, it's a simple question. Leaving a "Maybe" choice is to allow appathy to continue. In the world we live in there are absolutes. We, as citizens cannot allow ourselves to become appathetic or take our eyes off the ball for even one second. There's is no margin for error these days and everything is impactual.

We all need to know all that we can to make sound judgement in the future. There is no sideline from which to watch. Like it or not, we are all participants in the scheme of Toledo. Everything done, said and inacted is going to one way or another, effect us all. You are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution. There is no nutrality. Just because an individual doesn't care, doesn't mean their act of not caring isn't affecting the outcomes of the issues.

Anyone can sit home bitching and complaining, but unless you put your mind and money where your mouth is..you are useless to the advancement of Toledo. Idle chatter is just that. Action and understanding are key to advancement..period!

Not everyone is able to go out after the dragon..but everyone is capable of knowing who is and then supporting them.
