SAPOA Gets SPANKED!

No matter what anyone says, SAPOA got spanked in a big way in this election.

I have been wined and dined by SAPOA Members throughout this election and while many of the people within SAPOA seem to be kind people with incredible stories, we were asked to back off certain candidates to give them a chance.

Well, I actually did what they asked because I wanted to see how things would turn out. As long as they were playing fair ball, I decided I would too.

Now, because SAPOA is upset because they knew they were going to flat out lose this election, SAPOA's Presidents own Daughter has created a Blog that personally attacks me. Yes, another Anti Albero Blogger. I contacted Kris Adams the day the Blog started and she assured me that this was not going to be a Blog about attacks. Instead, it was a group of SU Students voicing their opinions. Well, that too changed very quickly as participants to this new Blog have been trying to publish comments here on Salisbury News in the hopes of getting some attention, even trying to link to their Blog, STUPID! It didn't take long for the Albero attack pieces to get started. Go figure, I was lied to.

The SAPOA Candidates received the lowest number of votes and with all due respect, the numbers for two of them were, (quite frankly) embarrassing. In my last conversation with Kris Adams I said that she needed to go back to her grass roots, calm down, state the facts and not become one of them. I honestly felt that they were gaining ground and momentum when they stayed cool, calm and collective but instead they have been trying to use the Internet to bash people and as I had predicted, it would backfire.

So, it's time to simply drop the name SAPOA from this point forward and simply ignore their quest. For several years in a row they have simply made fools out of themselves. While so many in this community want to go after the Bloggers, know that almost all of the people who bashed the Blogs are now Bloggers themselves and or silent partners in blogs. If you can't beat them, join them, right?

SAPOA needs to clean its own house, literally, and quit their relentless smear campaign against their opponents. Maybe if they did not personally attack those who disagreed with them, they might find a reasonable response. Kris Adams and her family are convinced, it seems, that nasty personal attacks are the way to win elections. Let me remind them that they are 0-2 and losing ground. If I were a member of SAPOA, I would be looking for new leadership that denounces such tactics.

SAPOA's biggest bo-bo was not silencing the blob-blogger.

Joe, By your statements you think Orville Dryden supported SAPOA's.

Orville Dryden was a put-up by Phil Tilghman, the creator of "The Dream Team", funded by SAPOA and shadowy characters moving SAPOA's money. Dryden hadn't voted in a city election in over 6 years, hadn't been at a council meeting that anyone can remember, and didn't do anything to campaign other than show up for the forums and interviews. Lots of people ask why he ran. What do you think?

Kris Adams and her silly daughter did SAPOA's candidates in with the dumb stuff they did to derail other candidates. And they think nobody noticed what fools they made of themselves and their organization?
Of the 80 or so members of SAPOA, only a few stand out, and for all the wrong reasons. That club needs to reorganize with some intelligent leadership, not the buffoons they've had over the past few years. And T.J., their main scriptwriter and puppeteer needs to go, too.

Amen to this.
Thanks Joe for letting their own blog do damage to themselves. Well played.

4:09,
Follow the money. Not hard to figure out who he was supposed to represent. Fortunately, the citizens of Salisbury have seen through this nonsense for the last two elections.

I was sure that most Salisbury residents where fully aware of SOPOA shannanigans! This group is completely self serving. As a matter of conscience I never vote for anyone or anything that SOPOA supports.

4:09, Mr. 1:26 is correct.

Deny it all you want, but Phil Tilghman and John Cannon were the ones who recruited Dryden.

SAPOA tried real hard, along with the Chamber of CommHearse, to recruit candidates. Dryden was all they could find.

Nothing against Dryden. Nice man. But he should have just said no.
