Meeker taking on City Hall

There was an article, on February 6th, in the Austin Statesmen, concerning a candidate in a local election, Jason Meeker. You can check it out at http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/cityhall/entries/2008/02/06/meeker_taking_on_city_hall.html. What jumped out at me in the comments, was the second comment. It was pretty hostile. Here's the second comment. It's a little longer, but you can skim it to see the gist of the hostility.

"What this boy Jason has not figured out is that there are a whole lot more folks in Austin who are Walmart shoppers who vote than anti-Walmart shoppers who vote. H.E.B. can’t buy you the election Jason and the political operatives you are surrounding yourself with are all outsiders like you because they have never figured out how to negotiate or compromise. They dig the fight for the fight’s sake and really don’t seem to be affected by the outcome as long as there is still one person left who will slap them on the back and say, “give the big money boys hell”! Jason, you are just the errand boy for these folks and they will drop you like a bad transmission at AAMCO when this is over in May. You are going to be the poster boy for wasting taxpayer money! Enjoy the next 90 days til election day because it will be the most miserable time of your life and the misery won’t come from your competitors, it will come from angry taxpayers looking for someone to take the fall."

I also was surprised to see the third commenter's handle is just "booger". I don't get how you can talk politics while reffering to yourself as booger. The language people use can be a little hilarious. I'll leave you with a nice line from one of the comments

"Mc”Meeker ain’t got no game based upon his quotes in this fine article"
