Hibbert is viable alternative to Corder

Monday, May 17, 2010

Dear editor:

The Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce put on a political forum at AJ's May 4. My conversation with Henry Hibbert, the Democratic party candidate for the state senate, was quite enlightening. Just after this forum, Henry shared with a few people that the Elmore County Democratic party has not provided any resources to him despite his active participation in the party.

Don't we want Democrats to be proud they are Democrats and Republicans to be proud they are Republicans? I am seeing a lot of Corder signs in the lawns of devout Democrats. How come so many prominent Democrats are coming to the aid of the professed Republican state senator, Mr. Tim Corder, when there is a good and viable Democratic party candidate?
