As a reporter you get a feeling in your gut if the person you’re
interviewing is a plastic phony or someone with potential of being a quality politician.
When I first met State Assemblyman Sam Hoyt (D) 144 District, I was confused whether he was an arrogant phony or a genuine caring person who was carrying some serious battle scars in his life
As I got to know more about Hoyt’s background I began to understand why some people perceived him as an arrogant individual. He doesn’t wear his past on his sleeve and he has learned to move on becoming a helpful, caring human being.
Sam Hoyt cares a great deal about people and they are the main reason he became a politician. This quirk of really caring has earned him the disdain of some powerful politicians. They have a burning desire to destroy Hoyt because he his one of the main road blocks standing in their way. These other power hungry politicians want to place their stoolies in office. These depraved politicians crave more and more power. They need to put their ill prepared cronies in office that will do as their masters say, not what the people of the 144 State Assembly District need or want.
Sam Hoyt will announce next Friday that he is running for re-election in the144 District. He will not desert his district to these politicians who care not for the people but only their bosses.
These ‘worms’ are spreading filthy lies about Hoyt’s life and his family. The lies have no basis in truth but sound good to people who love to hear dirt. It gives them a feeling of superiority. The only way they can understand the hurtfulness of lies is when it happens to them.
History has shown how the lies concerning Jews garnered support for Hitler from the German people. The Germans tortured women, men and children; raped babies, burned the Jews alive and other unspeakable acts of hate. The rumor mongers convinced the German people that Jews were the cause of all the problems Germany was facing. Still, there were some Germans who bravely faced death to help the Jewish people. Hitler’s lies cost over six million people their lives but still the good people who stood up to the lying machine won out at the end.
Thinking on a bigger scale, try to imagine being a Jewish person caught up in Hitler’s
Germany, watching your wife being raped, your children killed and a finally a bullet put through your head because of the lies and rumors your race were subjected to which were totally untrue.
The political machine working against Sam Hoyt is using the same type of gross lies to bring him down.
The rumor mongers will be at work spreading vile rumors for the public to hear about Sam Hoyt being a scumbag. The rumor lovers want people to elect one of Sam’s political enemies in his place who will serve their masters not the people of the 144 State Assembly District. Sam will be out on the street fighting along side you. As always, it’s your call on Election Day.
