Re: My Pal Ronnie

Considering your disdain for Mr. Carroll, are you saying that I've got friends in low places? Steve, you're such a jokester!

I'm not really for or against Mr. Carroll — or anybody in Stokes politics for that matter — although he was a congenial person on the occasions I've met him. I should probably clarify that I'm just a native son watching the action from Forsyth.

You seem to take an inordinate amount of glee in seeing Ron Carroll bash the Republican Commissioners.

No, I enjoyed the letter because — as usual — the mudslinging in the Stokes News' 'Letters to the Editor' is the always most entertaining part of the paper regardless of who's doing the slinging. All the letters are fun. Many of them remind me of post-match rants in 'professional' wrestling, thus my Steve vs. Ron cage match/WWE reference.

I previously said, 'In the last election, the Stokes Democrats had some of their best candidates ever, and they still lost.'

Steve: If that was their best, then no wonder they lose all the time.

Okay, maybe I should've said one of their best; I was mostly referring to Andy's cousin, Robert Mitchell.
