This is another attempt by the Moral Majority pushing its values on all of us. I am a married heterosexual male with two sons, and I do not care who marries who or how they live or where they live. I just want people to be treated as human beings! Stop the non-sense.

I personally hear her say that tonight at the forum on West 16th street.

The local GOP has to bail him out to buy his last week radio ads. He ran out of money! He knows he's a loser - why invest in himself? So why vote for him?Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1161987008709971382006-10-27T17:10:00.000-05:002006-10-27T17:10:00.000-05:00IS THE 7TH DISTRIC FOR SALE?<BR/><BR/>Carson: Bought and Paid for<BR/><BR/>Campaign Finance: an alternate perspective part Deux <BR/><BR/>Taken from OpenSecrets.org<BR/><BR/>Julia Carson (D)*<BR/>Laborers Union $10,000 <BR/>United Auto Workers $10,000 <BR/>Operating Engineers Union $6,500 <BR/>American Federation of Teachers $5,000 <BR/>American Fedn of St/Cnty/Munic Employees $5,000 <BR/>Congressional Black Caucus PAC $5,000 <BR/>Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers $5,000 <BR/>Machinists/Aerospace Workers Union $5,000 <BR/>National Education Assn $5,000 <BR/>Sheet Metal Workers Union $5,000 <BR/>United Steelworkers of America $5,000 <BR/>Amerus Life Insurance $4,100 <BR/>LGBT Fairness Fund $4,100 <BR/>Siebert, Brandford et al $4,000 <BR/>National Cmte for an Effective Congress $3,000 <BR/>Winston Terrell Group $2,632 <BR/>AT&T Inc $2,500 <BR/>Carpenters & Joiners Union $2,500 <BR/>Credit Union National Assn $2,500 <BR/>FedEx Corp $2,500 <BR/>French Pharmicie $2,500 <BR/><BR/>This is the list of PACs and groups that contributed to Julia Carson's campaign this year for a total of $96,832. $64K (66%) of which is from the corrupt labor unions which pretty much hand out money to anyone with a "D" as their party affiliation. $3K from a left-wingnut group (Nat'l Cmte for Effective Congress). $4100 from the gays, $5K from the liberal CBC. French Pharmicie is NOT a drug company. It's a hoidy-toidy shop in Broad Ripple owned by one Stacy Kosene, whose given money as herself and her company essentially double dipping to bypass campaign finance laws. Kosene - a relative of the Kosenes that are real estate developers, and friends of Mayor Bart Peterson who is also a real estate developer by profession. Just connecting the dots!<BR/><BR/>Interesting CUNA gave her $2500 - they think they are paying for help from the banking committee, thinking she might get the nod for committee chair if by some miracle she wins this election. Imagine Julia Carson being in charge of the House Banking Cmte? EEE-GADS! I can just see her sitting there asleep supposedly listening to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony and waking up to say there was just a little girl in her lap and she was eating Julia's food and she disappeared? NO THANK YOU!<BR/><BR/>UPDATE: Gary Welsh of Advance Indiana has this update to the campaign finance story:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Carson is also getting last-minute help from some of her congressional colleages. Rep. Mel Watt (D-NC) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) kicked in $2,000 each this past week, and Rep. Ed Pastor (D-AZ) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) kicked in another $1,000 a piece. She picked up another $1,000 from a banker's PAC. One has to wonder why her colleagues are bothering to give her any money<BR/>So she has an additional $6000 to play around with? For a seat the flyover media thought was safe its turning out the Dickerson campaign is getting attention. Much more than the previous candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1161971123140900052006-10-27T12:45:00.000-05:002006-10-27T12:45:00.000-05:00Tully is a columnist, he is not a reporter. *yawn* Is anyone reading the Star?

Surely not! Thats all that exists in Indiana! This is the norm in Indiana--these ppl sit all high and mighty and ignore the very laws they should be enforcing. Money is power! Money is the root of all evil,and the route to hypocracy and greed. I especially like the way the legislators ignore statutes of limitations. Maybe they should go back 50 years to collect fines! Maybe they should retroactively approve a property tax increase to 1945. Are we being ran out of our homes? Yes we are!! Pretty soon you will need to ask the Spaniards permission to pass go before you can get to your house!!! Are we mad? Absolutely! This is our State! Legislators should lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way! What happened to the days of John Wayne? Those days are forgotten just like the citizens of Indiana! On election day vote AMERICAN! Vote out incumbents!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1161957001352157152006-10-27T08:50:00.000-05:002006-10-27T08:50:00.000-05:00Good. Let Bosma fume.
