There are many Republicans and Democrats that look to government as lifetime jobs. Name a corrupt Democrat and I'll name a corrupt Republican. Hopefully any incumbent will be in trouble during the next few election cycles until we can get some new blood in office that really want to serve. There is too much partisanship that isn't helping anyone. Parks Helms should not have been an ABC commissioner after serving all of those years on the County Commission. Why do you have to have connections in order to serve. If he truly thinks accepting a 12k dinner from a company that could have business before the ABC board was appropriate he should have never been in that seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819850637666173640.post-31182668103186077202010-01-14T17:23:01.301-05:002010-01-14T17:23:01.301-05:00Parks Helms, at last, discloses what was behind hi...Parks Helms, at last, discloses what was behind his imperial robes of condescension all along. Hubris, wrapped in self-worship, tied up with narcissism. His fall has nothing to do with himself, but is all a manufactured product of the media he so adeptly used all of his career. He is stabbed not by political adversaries, but by his own kind -- liberal tax and spend democrats. He fades away now, at the hand of the political class whose damaging blows he once directed toward others, covered with buttery platitudes to conceal his petty hungers for ever more power.
