It is ridiculous and sad to see some feel the need to go to such lengths at ad hominems and personal attacks. We've seen it against Duke in this post and in other topics on your blog. <br /><br />As for the race itself. After receiving Thompson's attack on Duke I wanted to go out and vote as soon as Early Voting opened up. I wasn't able to do so, but was able to get my ballot cast in the end. Early voting is easy and quick. In fact, I think it is quicker than on election day. I encourage all Lowrie supporters to get out now, go to the courthouse and cast your ballots. Get your friends to vote too. Blogging is nice, but voting matters more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-28947110725287450032011-10-11T15:17:44.227-05:002011-10-11T15:17:44.227-05:00Thank you, I appreciate that.

He has a brother still working for the Fire Dept. in Bossier City. He is honerable just like his brother. To call Duke racist would be to call his brother that also.Do you think he could still be working there. To call him racist is a far fetched, evil thing to say. If and when the election is over I hope Duke finds out who is attempting to slander him with this accusation and he will sue. He is not and has not ever been a member or the KKK. I hope this puts this to rest Mr. Thompson and your cronies. I thought you professed to be a Christian, (Christ Like). But your actions and your followers don't show it.

However deciding which posts are worthy of being on your page and exluding material that is FACTUAL about someone who you clearly support (Duke) puts your OWN integrity and perception of being unbiased in total jeopardy.<br /><br />I would think someone of your intelligence would not stoop to "playing politics" and would keep these posts on a level playing field...in other words they should have some transparency.<br /><br />Up until today that is how I perceived your commentary, but now its clear to me you are pushing your own agenda.<br /><br />Im very dissapointed in you Jim.
