The guy apologize for his actions, and men cheat on their wives everyday(especially in government)
As noted in the article "For his (Peebles) one indiscretion, Roundtree has seven."

The democratic primary voters have spoken. They clearly didn’t find these infractions relevant or significant.

Where are the positive articles on Roundtree printed by the Chronicle? The Augusta Chronicle wanted Peebles to win, and the editorials prove it...

I know the article mentioned it, but clearly you didn't...

This is America... the paper can support who they want.

The facts are they posted infractions for both candidates, I'm sorry that Roundtree has a longer list and that is "unfair" to bring up with some people... but that's his own fault.

The voters most likely made a mistake and the vast majority of the men/women on the sheriffs department will tell you so... they know better than anyone else about the two men.

I really liked some of the ideas that Peebles had for the department, that was why I wanted him to win. It had nothing to do with the infractions that Roundtree had against him, I just thought Peebles would have made a better choice.

I am going to do some more research on both candidates for the november election to see whom I will be voting for.

The article I quoted was published by WJBW. Are they also biased? Has any media outlet printed a positive review?

No, it doesn't happen like that and the fact that you would say that to support Roundtree is sad.

Scott won the first time, and couldn't get his voters to return the second time around.. The winner & loser were separated by less than 500 votes..

Let me clarify my prior post. Are there any positive printed reviews of Mr. Roundtree by any other media outlet?

You don't support anybody who made a mistake.

7 mistakes and then running for sheriff? No, I don't. Not when there was another to choose from who was more qualified and didn't make a list of infractions for himself while at the office.

But that's not what you said... you said that cops are out doing this stuff everyday, as in having sex while on duty with 3 other officers, and that just flat out isn't true.
