IS HE THE GUY THAT……..?

Yes, there are two candidates that did file to run for the vacant seat of Irmo town council. But what was left out is one of the candidates, George Frazier, is the same one who filed to run last August and used the address of a home he hadn’t lived in for a year.


You read that right. George Frazier sold the house at 142 Rose Oak Drive, Irmo in September 2022. When he filed to run for Irmo town council in August 2023, he used that address as his current address, why you may ask? According to whitepages.com he lived on Ashland Road at that time, not in the town of Irmo. Even if that was not correct, he didn’t live at 142 Rose Oak Drive either. And if he had lived at an in-town address, he would have used it, he didn’t.


Now let’s talk about the form he filled out and signed that said “I attest everything in this form is correct or will be by the time of the general election. “ His address wasn’t his true, correct, actual address when he filled out the form, nor was it likely that he was going to live there by the time of the election. In fact he was in the process of moving into another address off Archers Lane in the town of Irmo, when he got caught and disqualified.


As stated before all this was turned over to the SLED election fraud department for them to determine what election laws have been violated, but you and I already know what is wrong here.


Yes, it is not unusual for candidates and politicians to lie, and others, as well. But don’t you think we, the residents of the town of Irmo deserve better? If a candidate would lie about an address, lie about living in town when they don’t, perjure themselves on the form, just to run for office, possibly getting elected, as some do, but that’s another story, how can we trust them with anything they say to us ? “I care about….., believe me ….., I didn’t say……., I didn’t……”


Of course, some voters may not care, and will overlook stuff like lying, keeping your word, and being honest . Again some don’t care about integrity and character, maybe just looks, what they can get, what’s in it for them, who knows?


But I believe most residents in Irmo do care, do you want someone serving them that they can believe, can trust , when they are speaking and when they vote for what is best for you and for Irmo? That leaves one.

Yes, I got a campaign brochure in my newspaper box the other day, I guess there is a good reason to keep those things. And thank you Councilwoman Barbara Waldman for it — you have my vote. Some things have changed and some things stay the same. Years ago, when you first ran, and being a neighbor of an individual who I assumed talked to you into running for his benefit, I did not vote for you. But over the years of your service, especially after seeing you stand up to the “bully” attempting to pressure you into seconding some ridiculous item he had on the agenda — and you refused — my opinion of you changed. Since your election, and seeing you do what you truly believe is in Irmo’s best interest, you have gained my trust and therefore my vote. I won’t spend much time commenting on the other candidates — that will be their job to introduce themselves and attempt to convince you to vote for them. But I will mention two of them. One, Gabriel Penfield , who has my other vote, has worked hard during his years of service to the town — improving and making better the things that he could. He is a great council member, has a good heart, and is there to make Irmo better. I will write more about him later. The other candidate, whom I will also write more about later (not too positively, however), is the one I wrote about before — being deceitful about where he lived and not residing at the address he listed on his candidate form. If you remember, he claimed to live in a house in Rose Oak that he hadn’t lived in for a couple of years, and at that time was actually living outside the town of Irmo. Anyway you look at it, it was not honest — it was deceitful. And even if someone who evidently doesn’t know the difference between dishonesty and being truthful tried to claim it was a “minor clerical error,” we all know better. We aren’t ignorant as he believes we are — that’s why he was a one and done. We’ve got two great candidates who have proven they put Irmo first. I urge you to vote to reelect Councilwoman Barbara Waldman and Councilman Gabriel Penfield. Thank you for your consideration. — Hardy King

Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.”

Back in April, I read an open letter to the Irmo News that started with the writer saying “I am opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocidal war in Gaza.” I have wanted to address this highly false statement since then.
