These Guys Should Run For City Council

These two candidates proved one thing today during their one one as far as I'm concerned. They both got caught up on the same question. Jerry Lawler isn't going to give up $4500.00 a week for three hours work with WWE. And Charles Carpenter isn't going to close a successful practice whose income he can't even remember that he's been building for thirty plus years And I don't think they should. Neither one of them should be rhe next mayor of Memphis. Don't get me wrong they both have some good ideas. Just not what we should be solely focused on in this city.

Charles Carpenter wants to turn this city into a southern center for blue bloods and Jerry Lawler wants to run Memphis like Babe Howard ran Millington. Both styles of which alienate a large part of the city's citizens. I would like to see these two contribute their services to the city in a supporting role. They both represent some much needed ingredients but they can't pull it all together.If these men love the city like they say. These guys should run for city council.

  2. Charles Carpenter is beginning to see the writing on the wall. His association with Thaddeus Matthews will hurt him more than it helps.

    Charles has an annoying voice. It's like scratching on a blackboard.

    Jerry Lawler has all these "common sense" ideas with no specifics. He will only go places where he won't be seriously grilled.

    Yesterday Willie Herenton stated that Charles Carpenter is no poloitician but he has the right (money) to run.
