Bill Foster "Flintstone" did not need to go negative in view of the St. Petersburg Times, WMNF, Tampa Tribune, FOX 13, BayNEWS9, WFLZ Radio/Bubba, WFLA Channel 8, 88.5FM WMNF "Community" Radio, et al...
ALL working in a COORDINATED fashion to TRASH Mrs. Ford with as much REPETITION as possible of "KEY" words like... "Divisive..." "HNIC..." including in written stories that the word Negro at times is replaced by an epithet that also begins with the letter "N" in the acronym HNIC! I did not hear the word "abrasive" used in describing Kathleen Ford... but perhaps I missed it???
THIS is WHY St.Petersburg residents will now have a KomPLETE KLOWN errr "PUPPET" as mayor. This is by design of course, just as "The Establishment" had planned...

The goal of this NEGATIVE campaign directed EXCLUSIVELY at diminishing the black vote FOR... Mrs. Ford through the COORDINATED effort of the media, certainly had the desired effect...
in COMPLETELY MIS-representing just how Mrs. Ford felt about the African American community.
There most certainly ARE issues with a political system that allows the "free press..." to recklessly "DIRECT" the electorate with such patently abusive PROPAGANDA in order to INFLUENCE who shows up to vote and WHO they vote for or against.
THIS episode should serve as an example that will hopefully educate the naive true believers... as to just WHAT IS the nature of a totally broken system that serves up such destructive nonsensical hoopla/shenanigans as a foundation for WHAT passes for democracy in this country.
There WAS NOTHING "democratic" about THIS process! There IS NOTHING "democratic" in a process whereby THE CORPORATE PRESS serves up boatloads of FREE NEGATIVE/DERISIVE advertising benefiting ONE Candidate... (Bill aka "Flintstone" Foster!)
What took place in St. Petersburg over the past few weeks was merely an illusion...
The purpose of which being to satisfy the naive... who still believe that elections are fairly conducted in this country... while simultaneously ensuring the continued dominion of "The Establishment..." over the affairs of government in St. Pete!
