She was very tired, slow, and when she climbed onto the stage without using the stairs I think everyone thought she was going to fall off.<BR/><BR/>Her speech was coherent when she gave Fran Quigley his award, but she had a horrible coughing fit while seated.<BR/><BR/>She reminded me of my grandmother, the one that had congestive heart failure.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of one's political affiliation I don't see how anyone who has seen Julia Carson in action can vote for her. At the least you have to question the judgment of someone not wanting to use the stairs to get on stage.Wolfrham Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827518384467441352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160950355590175932006-10-15T17:12:00.000-05:002006-10-15T17:12:00.000-05:00I think Julia was channeling Heidi's grandfather.<BR/><BR/>Or some other nursery rhyme.<BR/><BR/>If Dickerson had any money, or balls, he'd tape that 10-second segment and play it everywhere he can buy time. <BR/><BR/>It's Exhibit 1 why this woman has earned a spot on the bench.<BR/><BR/>It made up my mind for whom to vote.

You have got to be kidding, Wilson doesn't know anything until Carson tell him what to say. You would be best to go to Robin Run and ask her yourself.<BR/>By the way I saw Carson before she went into Ch 13, she looked pretty good I must say. New wig, nice red dress, sober, but she was wearing the same flag scarf that she was chastized for wearing a couple of years ago.<BR/>As far as the little girl story, she just got confused and forgot what her handlers told her to say.Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624388336192960176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160931666398463622006-10-15T12:01:00.000-05:002006-10-15T12:01:00.000-05:00I still haven't figured out the comment about the little girl. Wilson you know so much about Julia Carsons opinions. Please help us out here.

As far as comparing herself to Sen. Lugar? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! Last time I heard, other people are asking our good Senator for his assistance on heavy political topics. Who is asking Julia? Heck, where is Julia? <BR/><BR/>Robin Run tonight is going to be good. Let's see if Julia goes NEGATIVE after saying she won't. <BR/><BR/>Dickerson will be the next Congressman for the 7th District.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160922829943260752006-10-15T09:33:00.000-05:002006-10-15T09:33:00.000-05:00That being said, Rusthoven is typcally a sound, reasoned voice for the loyal opposition. I admire his views and his civility.<BR/><BR/>He's still wrong on most issues. He worked for Reagan. 'Nuff said.<BR/><BR/>He said Julia gave a good performance. We simply must have been watching different segments.<BR/><BR/>Robin Winston has almost zero credibility anywhere. He cashes that Ch. 13 check pretty quickly.<BR/><BR/>Say--did anyone notice the Star listed DC Hoosier Millionaires today? Al Hubbard was there. The same Al who worked for Reagan, with Peter R., who bashed govt. programs, then promptly used one, the SBA, to gobble up bankrupt companies. He's the president's chief economic counsel.<BR/><BR/>Again, 'nuff said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160921966427377632006-10-15T09:19:00.000-05:002006-10-15T09:19:00.000-05:00Anon 9:34, Rusthoven and some of his partners at Barnes & Thornburg lobby Congress. Translated, he has a big conflict of interest and can't say what he really thinks about Carson. That's why I've criticized the IWIR panel. When you have lobbyists and attorneys representing various interests, you aren't going to get an open, candid and honest discussion of the candidates and the issues.Gary R.

He thought Carson's performance was good? I'm glad I voted against him when he ran for the Senate several years ago. He placed third behind Paul Helmke and John Price. I think he still hasn't gotten over that embarrassing race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160918710097327712006-10-15T08:25:00.000-05:002006-10-15T08:25:00.000-05:00This was taped in the afternoon. Why did it look like Julia Carson just got out of bed? No wonder why she never comes forward to make speeches on the house floor. She would take up the entire time alloted to say one sentence.<BR/><BR/>I thought Matt Tully did a cheap shot by suggesting "Republican and Democrat people" want to put a bar in at 300 East. No, none of them are republicans. Bill Mays, Carl Drummer, Lacy Johnson, and Monroe Gray. No GOP there. Supposedly Bill Mays gave a few bucks to Gov. Daniels' campaign but that hardly makes one a solid GOP backer. What kind of ghetto talk is "I have no nickel in that dime"? Did anyone notice it took her over minute to get out a simple answer?<BR/><BR/>Her cheap shot was on Sen. Lugar - Julia if you were HALF as articulate as Sen. Lugar even at his age there would be no issue. However you are not, and it's time for her to be put out to pasture.<BR/><BR/>And Robin Winston - we'll show you on Election night and you'll be eating your words she'll "make mulch out of Eric Dickerson".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160918370048974362006-10-15T08:19:00.000-05:002006-10-15T08:19:00.000-05:00Hmmm...he didn't sound fuzzy at all to me, Wilson. He said we had to go in there, with which I disagree, but to each his own. Your lady was right on that one.<BR/><BR/>And he said current troops need retrained for insurgency, and rotations should be altered.<BR/><BR/>Best plan I've heard from anyone, anywhere in the country, for dealing with the troop strength and apportionment.<BR/><BR/>He's wrong on the original decision, but he's acknowledged we're there and need a better plan.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like the quintessential practical man to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160918196934633742006-10-15T08:16:00.000-05:002006-10-15T08:16:00.000-05:00Your comments mostly echo mine. A very interesting half-hour.<BR/><BR/>The little girl comment scared me. Where did this little girl appear? At Julia's house? At a political dinner? At Julia's high school graduation reception? Julia needs a long nap. And retirement.<BR/><BR/>My single-biggest surprise was Eric's plan to refocus troops in Iraq. I hadn't heard it, and I think it's brilliant. He mentioned that a Northwest High School May grad shouldn't be the first person into Iraq, and that we should retrain those closer to the action already. Spoken like a true military man with experience. My cousin, who's 22 and starting her third tour in Jan., and her family would love that kind of policy. So would most of the generals. The post-war retirement books/speeches on this one will be frighteningly hilairous.<BR/><BR/>Most intriguing to me, though, was Tully's attitude. He seemed scared of Julia. Softball questions and stupid political analysis after the candidates left the studio.<BR/><BR/>Eric's rambling about not accepting party help were not smart, though. Nice try.<BR/><BR/>Try not to descend into conservative talk show distribe, though, AI..."cut and run" and such. Nationally, no one is buying that tied attempt at painting war opponents as unpatrotic.<BR/><BR/>TV at its best. Julia vs. Eric live in person tonight at Robin Run. I can't go, but it oughta be interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160917567620125792006-10-15T08:06:00.000-05:002006-10-15T08:06:00.000-05:00The USA has already trained twice as many Iraqi security forces as there are US soldiers yet the need for US troops seem to increase, not decrease. The Iraqi troops have not been supplied with helicopters, heavy artillery or vehicles such as tanks.<BR/><BR/>Julia Carson voted against starting this endless war - Dickerson still supports going in and is fuzzy about what the hell the US can do now to get out of this gawdawful mess created by Bush and his Rubber Stamp Congress. Meanwhile US troops die!Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.com
