I like the show. I always have. I enjoy the back and forth between Ann and Mike. They've been at the "top of the class" in each of their parties. Who better to comment?

As for Julie Carson's health... how many other's WALKED the parade route for the Circle City Classic parade? The main reason I like Carson is because I SEE her all around town. She's here, she's visible, and I like how she votes on the issues.

Note to "Anonymous:" Howey invariably gets it wrong, eh? Please check out my coverage at www.howeypolitics.com and hit the "Revolution in the Indiana Senate" button. You can see how "wrong" I was on the last Borst and Garton primary races. The entire coverage is there. And, I must admit, I have no respect people who make their comments under the cloak of anonymity and cowardice. =hwy=

Wilson46201-when you steal elections, you don't steal from the candidate, you steal from the voters and the taxpayers!

You appear to have a problem with the language written in the U.S. Constitution

This is a government of and for the People, not a select few!

2006-08-27T19:30:00.000-05:00

Wilson46201 - You love to call my name. There has been a great deal of wrong-doing in that office for years ever since Carson took over.

You can't deny any of the facts that have been stated on this site.

If you wont' tell the truth, others will. Your job is to make me controversial, and I don't mind.

I fight back! Now for the real issues at hand. All issues are relevant relating to taxpayer funds, how they are spent and property owned regardless of the office being sought.

The U.S. Constitution does not allow for dictatorships in our government. That is what it has been for too long. Now, it is time for a change in Center Township and the 7th Congressional District.

The fight is on Eric Dickerson v Carson, Linda Ivey v Carl Drummer, and Kent Smith v Tony Duncan!

2006-08-27T18:09:00.000-05:00

The average voter could careless on how Dickerson ran his dealership as long as he did not rob anybody. Now that it is sold, and the bank has been paid its loan, what is there to talk about.

Compare the business dealings of Dickerson to Carson's bankrupt clothing store in Claypool Courts, if this is going to be the detetmining factor in the 7th District.

The real facts have not been published about Carson's underhanded dealings for years.

All she has done is held the rest of the African-American community back and most of the time, sold us out. Take a real good look at the lack of progress in Center Township for her people. They are tired of the cons and want a change in leadership.

In this election the truth about Carson will be told! When it happens, I dare her to play the "race card" again!

When all of the facts are in, Dickerson will win by a majority!

2006-08-27T08:36:00.000-05:00

People ARE paying attention to the Carson Center because it is a prime, in your face, example of the gross abuse of power! The pathetic local media shys away because it is all about the Democrats.

On the other hand, they have done everything possible to smear a man who has served his country, worked hard, had his own business and chooses to serve his district.

Voters around the country have already stood up to the conventional wisdom and said they are tired of the current politicians who use their office to line their pockets and the pockets of their friends.

2006-08-27T08:00:00.000-05:00

Gary, check back on your posts...none has recived more comments than the Carson Center and the Dickerson posts. That should tell you something--people are paying attention.

And, for the last time, ED's business dealings, in this respect, ARE fodder for the public gristmill. He has trumpeted his business abilities, and unless someone is hiding some pertinent facts, he was sued for not paying a loan. By a ridiculously lazy and unaggressive bank.

Shella and crew can disect Eric or not disect him. I don't really care.

But please stop saying the Dickerson loan lawsuit is not a pertinent matter. It is. If you refuse to admit it, your posters are proving you wrong. To most, it matters. And to those who consider such things, I'd guess they're about 50-50 on this, because what we've read from the (lazy) mainstream media is not very thorough on this issue.

And I haven't yet made my mind up on the 7th dist. race, so don't go lumping me into the lemming category.

Wilson46201-We will see election
night how many votes Carson receives this election now that the county has computer voting machines and voter I.D.

Going to be really difficult to vote deceased voters and voters who don't live in their respective precincts.

Dickerson has a better chance to win this one over all of her other opponents!

He will not be underfunded, I guarantee you!

Gary and RiShawn,

Not to correct the correction, but Jon worked at the paper when I did, which was five years ago. He did a really nice job coordinating the WTHR newsgathering partnership, a.k.a. "Letting The World Know There Really Is A Reason Some People Choose Print While Others Choose Broadcast Media." Some people were cut out for that; I was not one of those people, but Jon made it much easier to bear.

That being said, I've never figured out why he drives all the way from Ohio each week to tape Shella's show.

Anon 8:49 - You make it sound like all he had to do was ask for more marques and GM would bestow them. No. GM tightly controls which marques you sell. Eric bought Ogle-Tucker and sold Buick. GM has cut Buick to 3 cars.

Wilson - if it weren't for all the welfare recipients and the corrupt DEMOCRATIC government in Louisiana we wouldn't have such looming deficits now would we? Oh right you're such a leftist that you make Hugo Chavez look moderate. Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin has nobody but himself to blame.

Wilson46201 - Ms. Adande is not the only one who knows about that election. What's up with you? You appear to be hating on her.

Can you respond to Anonymous' comments? There are court records you know for public viewing.

There seems to be a credability problem with these elected officials.

none of these folks has said anything fresh in five years

they rehash what's already been talked about for a wweke or so in political circles. and they do it with a lot of undeserved "attitude."

2006-08-26T14:11:00.000-05:00

FACT: Eric Dickerson won the ticket with 55%, next closest, which happened to be the 'chosen' candidate came in with 25%.

FACT: You would buy a car from Dickerson if you wanted a Buick, not everyone wants a Buick.

Variety is the spice of life, which is why there are Chevys, Fords AND Buicks. That is why there are Democrats and Republicans.

For that variety, that spice, that thing that brings progress you have to look at all the candidates. Don't just look at their party affiliation LOOK AT WHAT THEY SAY.

"Uh, regarding the earlier post: Carl Drummer STILL carries a DepConstable badge, and has recently used it to get out of speeidng tickets. Fact."

This is why everyone with a brain should evac the People's Republic of Marion Co. asap. The only reason to stay is....well I can't think of a reason. OH! If you are a city/county employee and get a take home car!!

Why is Marion Co. the only county with the constables running around. Government has been corrupt from the start. This just proves it. It is time for the constables to go bye bye.

2006-08-26T12:24:00.000-05:00

Brian Howey would be good, as would Abdul. And placing Abdul on the panel would rile Amos Brown, which is worth the price of admission right there.

But, don't forget, this show is on public TV...we pay nothing to get it, and lately, unfortunately, it's been worth the price we've paid. If I have to listen to Ann D. scream any more, I swear I'LL scream! And Mike M. just looks silly...I disagree, AI, he rarely has anything intellegent to say, and I gotta watch his chins all the time. Ugh.

Uh, regarding the earlier post: Carl Drummer STILL carries a DepConstable badge, and has recently used it to get out of speeidng tickets. Fact.

poor Jocelyn Tandy is posting here again --- still whining about losing yet another election ten years ago. That harridan could never get elected to anything, ever. Now she's reduced to muttering about Sodom and Gomorrah at human rights hearings for lesbians and gays. How low can she go? Homophobia is the last refuge of scoundrels...

2006-08-26T08:07:00.000-05:00

Do you remember Wilson46201 -
Drinking in the Trustee's office?
Liquor purchased at B & B's Liquor Store at 22nd and Central by Carson herself on the way to the office daily?

How often were cocktails served during the day in the Trustee's Office when you worked there? How many times was Carson intoxicated on the job? Do you remember? Channel 6 TV News showed her drunk in the office, slurring her words while her head was bobbing up and down during the interview.

Remember when Carson was nominated Woman of the Year in the Indianapolis Star? How many post cards did you address for her to win the nomination? She used certain staff members to flood the Star with her name so she could win. Do you remember?

Do you remember when she had certain staff members call in on radio talk shows from the office and attempt to harass and intimidate opponents on the air?
Do you remember?

Do you remember when she had Prosecutor Modisett coming to her office regularly and Police Chief Toler for meetings and how their presence was intimidating to employees not to tell? She even had them listen in on telephone conversations while she was talking to other politicians.
"Do you remember?

The bar/restaurant in the 300 Building would make it very convenient for cocktails to flow throughout the day for the alcoholics on staff.

Security can monitor and control who has access to the building while they are partying on the clock.

No, this bar in the building is a bad idea and you know it. Carson has always taken privileges as a State Senator, Trustee and now Congresswoman. Carl Drummer does not make a decision without her input, nor does Tony Duncan (ex-boyfriend). Each of you have been used to perform services for her.
That is why they call her the Queen Bee! Ha! Ha!

Remember when Carl Drummer was a deputy constable for Tony Duncan?
they paid Carson kick-backs for getting them their jobs.

They smeared Taylor Seath, former Constable to get the job for Tony Duncan when they discovered the Constable earns over $100,000.00 per year from docket fees in the Small Claims Court. That was one sweet deal.

Now Carson earns $165,000.00 a year as a Congresswoman, Tony Duncan earns $100,000.00 plus a year as constable, and Carl Drummer earns $90,000.00 a year as Trustee and controls $11 million dollars of taxpayer money. They are living quite well off the taxpayers. Not bad incomes to have in your back pocket. The authority to grant lucrative contracts are given to their friends and associates who are loyal to them.

Do you remember when you and Tony Duncan switched the ballots and the ballot boxes at the special election for Trustee in 1996
to insure Drummer's victory?

You guys really fooled everybody in that crowded room? Chairman Kip Tew couldn't have the election results certified because of the lawsuit filed by Ms. Tandy. I know what you did! You helped to steal the election for Trustee for Drummer, and what was your reward?
Do you remember?

"Street tactics", arm-twisting, intimidation as well as dirty tricks are used to keep everyone in line and you know it.

Ironically, none are college educated, and yet they are making decisions which effect the lives of every citizen in Center Township.

These people will do whatever it takes to protect their jobs. What else could they do to earn this kind of salary?

How much did they pay you Wilson46201 Allen for your services as the Clerk for Center Township? Are you a consultant for this group now?

What goes around, comes around!

2006-08-26T08:03:00.000-05:00

Kip Tew was the Democratic Party's Chairman when they illegally elected Carl Drummer to office in the 1996 special election.

It was the same election where Wilson Allen and Tony Duncan switched the ballots and ballot boxes to insure Drummer's victory against Jocelyn-Tandy Adande.

She sued the Democratic Party in Circuit Court January 2, 1996 over the election.

Kip Tew did not have the election results certified by Marion County Clerk Sarah Taylor until the morning of the his appearance in Court to answer questions regarding the conduct of this election on January 7, 1997, 1:00 p.m., prior to Carl Drummer being sworn in on January 1, 1997.

This was the same day (1/7/97) that Carson was to be sworn in as a Congresswomen in Washington, D.C. at 12:00 p.m. Ms. Carson had a timely visit to Methodist Hospital, the day after the lawsuit was filed.

This whole Center Township connection was rigged from the beginning, and it continues to be covered up.

2006-08-26T08:02:00.000-05:00

Oh, by the way, I don't like the idea of Howey or Abdul. Howey isn't even a journalist and if you check on his "predictions" he's invaribly wrong. Plus he's kind of slow. Abdul is more interesting and intelligent, but given his clear persuasions you couldn't put him in a journalist seat, but only to replace McDaniel. And please nobody say Matt Tully.
