2007-05-18T11:20:00.000-05:00

I suppose you can assume it was Horning I was referring to if you'd like, it doesn't really matter to me. I was just pointing out the fact that you lie even more than your mentor does, though in fairness to her she likely isn't even aware that she is lying when she does it, just as she doesn't appear capable of managing her schedule, or even what wig to wear from day to day.

So far you've lied about calling her to ask about the history of voting machines, you've lied about doing a property search on former opponents, tried to muddy the waters with the whole "machine" thing (when you knew I was telling the truth).

Wilson, you are by far the most entertaining spectacle in the Indy blogosphere, though it's rather like debating a ten year old, telling them things just to get a funny response. There's no intellectual challenge involved, it's just for entertainment purposes.

2007-05-17T21:12:00.000-05:00

All her GOP opponents owned the property they voted from. Andy Horning's was kinda shaky since he'd moved his family to around Spencer and even had some auto license plates from down there. He did continue to own the house in Broad Ripple he had been voting from for years. Interestingly, he sold that house about 35 days before the election but he still used it Election Day as his residence. The poor guy was obviously such a loser, why make a fool of him after all the hollering he had been doing about voter fraud? No need to shame him personally as being a fraudster himself. Pity has its place in politics, you know!

2007-05-17T21:02:00.000-05:00

By the way, I've personally checked out the residencies of all Ms. Carson's GOP opponents since 1996. All owned the property they voted from in Marion County.

Holy Amazing Computer Skills, Batman! You were able to do such a search in 10 minutes? Friggin' amazing, I say.

Wow, even when I try to feed you one, you aren't capable of taking the ball and running with it.

So here's a clue for you: Did any of her opponents use a parent's residence and vote in that precinct on election day as opposed to one 100 miles away where they actually resided? (I can't believe you are dumb enough to argue with me on something that proves your point. Only a Carson crony, for sure).

BTW, I've never seen personal cell phone numbers of Members published online, but I'll take your word for it. The one's I know actually carry out their duties, so they're usually too busy to answer their phones to help me debate some "a ghost with no veracity, no honesty and no identity ?. I'm sure she was touched that you wasted her time for such an important task, but upon reflection, what else does she do?

I make no claim to having multiple Members of Congress in my contact book. The numbers are all available online. Big deal. Having worked for Ms. Carson for years, she and I chitchat frequently about all sorts of stuff. I feel honored.

By the way, if you call Julia Carson's local or DC office, she occasionally answers the phone in an impersonal 'receptionists voice' if she doesnt hear her staff answering incoming calls promptly enough. She's a nut about not letting phones ring ceaselessly...

2007-05-17T20:39:00.000-05:00

By the way, of course you have photos of senior citizens being delivered to the polls by vehicles with "CARSON" signs. You DO NOT have photos of the SAME senior citizens actually voting at multiple precincts. Assisting voters with free rides to the polls is an ancient and honorable and legal way of encouraging voter turnout. Do you oppose helping people to vote legally?

So I guess you missed the part where I said:

at multiple precincts

I see what Julia sees in you. When you're around, she gets to feel like the smartest person in the room.

2007-05-17T20:37:00.000-05:00

Hmmm... Scan-Tron machines aren't machines now? Interesting...

Those lousy facts just keep getting in the way of your cheap personal attacks on me. Darn those facts.

And frankly, I don't care if you believe me or not (though, you know for sure that it's true, you've likely participated in many of these activities). I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. If the local media doesn't care, even when I go to their offices with lists of D voters who reside in abandoned houses, why would I care if anyone else does? I mean, we're talking about a district that elects the least respected member of Congress to another term every two years (the least respected from a Congress that includes Sheila Jackson-Lee and Maxine Waters, that's saying something), so excuse me if I lack confidence in the intelligence of voters in Marion County.

Anyone who's been around the scene for even one cycle knows that cheating, in Marion County in particular, is a fact of life on election day.

Not too mention I gave you some dirt on a Republican in a prior post, yet you proved to be as sharp as your mentor in completely missing it.

One thing is for sure, you are always good for a laugh. Just don't bother wondering why no one takes you seriously (frankly if Carson is your strongest ally...well, I rest my case).

Oh yeah, it's nice to know that your hero can't be bothered with showing up for many votes (including one today, I heard), yet she has all the time in the world to take a call from her lapdog about the history of voting machines (as if she really knows such a thing). Of all the members of congress I have in my contact book, I can't imagine wasting their time with such an unbelievably stupid thing. Of course the Members I know actually show up for work, so perhaps that's why I can't relate.

Yet, I think we both know you never made such a call. Are you man enough to admit that you made that amusing little story up?

And why should we believe you ever were even near a voting place anywhere in Marion County ever? You are merely a figment of somebody's imagination with a pretentious pseudonym!

2007-05-17T20:10:00.000-05:00

Sequence of Indpls voting methods:
1. Paper ballots
2. Lever voting machines
3. Scan-tron machines
4. Touch-screen voting

Your original statement was "I've seen too many Carson operatives changing ballots with pencils (pre-machine days),.." You were called out for lying since machines were introduced in the 1930s (Ms. Carson was born in 1937). Now you bring up ScanTrons - a very feeble defense!

And why should we believe a damn thing you say? No verifiability of your facts. You have no reputation to defend since you use a fabricated identity. You were caught making up stories about marking ballots with pencils (pre-machine days). I've been an elected Democratic Precinct Committeeperson from the same precinct since 1984. And I am arguing here with a ghost with no veracity, no honesty and no identity ? Sheesh!

Allow me to repeat:Secondly, are you POSITIVE that...

2007-05-17T19:50:00.000-05:00

Allow me to repeat:

Secondly, are you POSITIVE that Marion County has never used a scan-tron type of ballot that required the use of pencil markings...ever? In any precinct...ever? Are you really sure about that? Surely you aren't that stupid, I actually think you're just trying to bluff us all.

Also, I'm no more a Republican than you are, but when did you ever care about facts?

You know, I've set up press conferences releasing actual hard evidence of these things, shown pics of seniors getting out of a car with Carson signs on the sides at multiple precincts to reporters, complained on the spot to poll judges about poll workers changing ballots. What I've also seen first hand is that NOBODY cares. It's an accepted practice to cheat in elections, and Julia learned how to do it 40 years ago and built her power base from it.

Now, instead of the weak attacks, try answering my challenge. You've called me names, accused me of committing crimes myself, but haven't bothered answering the one simple thing I posted:

2007-05-17T19:41:00.000-05:00

"The Scribe" reveals its ignorance again with some real whoppers! The funniest one is whether Carson knows who I am or answers her own phone. She "signed my paychecks" for years both at Center Township and the U.S. Congress. I was her Township Clerk when she was Trustee (office right next to hers) -- I also worked part-time for her in Congress.

Yes, she answers her own personal cellphone that I used to reach her.

It's such a pity that you aided and abetted voter fraud for so many years by your conspiracy of silence. A good citizen would have filed affidavits with the Prosecutor's Office but you chose to remain shamefully silent. Or else you are simply fabricating based on urban folk myths. That's more likely!

The GOP used to claim to be the party of personal responsibility. "The Scribe" shows it is now the party of irresponsible anonymous slanders and partisan lies. No verifiability of facts and no personal reputation to rely on. Just mudslinging while hidding behind a false face. Kinda sad what the Republicans here have degenerated into...

2007-05-17T19:22:00.000-05:00

Oh where to start, so much fun to be had.

Wilson, when the day comes that you ever stop and wonder why it is you are the laughing stock of the Indiana blogosphere, you may want to refer to this thread.

First off, are we really to believe that Carson actually 1) answers her own phone 2) knows what a phone is 3) knows who you are?

Secondly, are you POSITIVE that Marion County has never used a scan-tron type of ballot that required the use of pencil markings...ever? In any precinct...ever? Are you really sure about that? Surely you aren't that stupid, I actually think you're just trying to bluff us all.

Thirdly, you claim to have once been a player in this city (despite the fact that not a single person I've spoken to has any clue who you are, besides your asinine blog ramblings, which are as well known as Carson's idiotic public ramblings). If you really ever were a player in this town, surely the thought of voter fraud by any party can't shock you, as you try to claim. And surely you really don't think any media in this town actually care about that, especially (and in particular)if it concerns Julia.

And yes, I have personally witnessed people voting in multiple locations on the same day, a pretty common tactic. Not sure that's any worse than a certain Republican congressional candidate using his mother's address to vote from, but in the big picture who really cares?

Also Erin, while I have no doubts R's are just as guilty of fraud as D's, I've never personally witnessed it, beyond the previously mentioned candidate. I have witnessed poll workers helping people change their votes in the polling place, intimidating voters to change their votes, under the watchfull eyes of poll judges and even members of the media. What I have also seen is that the vaunted Carson machine is mostly built upon fraud, intimidation, manipulation, intimidation and racism. Few people who think for themselves truly support her, in fact in private it's shocking how many D leaders are staunchly opposed to her. They simply don't want to risk going public (and you wonder why I blog under a pseudonym, knowledge can be dangerous to both sides).

2007-05-17T15:49:00.000-05:00

I called an old friend of mine, Attorney Faye Williams, a long-time League of Womens Voters activist. She told me she thought Indpls adopted the lever machines in the 1930s -- this city was using lever machines in 1958 when she arrived here herself. That's the same year Julia Carson turned 21 and started voting.

Once again, some cowardly and scurrilous anonymous Republican partisan was caught spreading patently false and racist information about "Carson operatives" committing election felonies on paper ballots. There are always the fables and slanders but never the affidavits or prosecutions...

2007-05-17T15:35:00.000-05:00

Since it is not totally clear what anonymous post 2:58 is referring to, I am going to guess it was 6:08 questioning whether it was in fact true that we didn't have pre-machine paper ballot voting during the era of the "Carson operatives". 6:08 didn't want to trust this bit of history to the Congresswoman's memory- quite fine, no need to do that, just check the facts. And what 2:58, do we find? Hey, Wilson and the Congresswoman are quite correct and 6:08 can rest assured that his/her suspicions were unfounded.

The mechanized lever voting machine was patented in 1889 (prior to that paper ballots were indeed used everywhere). The first lever machine was used in New York. By the 1930's lever machines were in almost every major city. While I don't know the precise year of mechanized lever machines in Indianapolis, it is clearly well before the Congresswoman's time.
The truth dear 2:58 is quite easy to find and the only one it seems to hurt is you- who prefers to remain wedded to blatently false propaganda rather than find out facts.

Anonymous is the way it has to be sometimes, Wilson. Not all of us have retirement income from cushey government jobs. We have to protect identities because folks sometimes get upset.

Nothing.

Thanks for the info Wilson.

But, just for the record, I'm not sure I'd trust history to the memory of a woman who was "looking for that little girl" less than a year ago. An imaginary little girl.

And my hope regarding her driving, is that she gets behind the wheel NEVER. For all kinds of previously-stated and currently-stated reasons.

2007-05-16T19:48:00.000-05:00

Wilson - the Star reported that said that "The Capitol Hill police would not let my vehicle enter the grounds due to a security 'event' regarding the escort of a foreign dignitary," Carson's statement says.

No word on which dignitary it was."

Can you call her and ask WHO the dignatry was and what date it happened ?

Tahnks in advance
