No surprise there...Terry Burns really needs a course in writing.<BR/><BR/>And this bizarre one-sided 4-color collage of pictures from Woody Myers. Family pix from the last 15 years. Like a travelogue of where he's been except here in Indy.<BR/><BR/>Entertaining, but politically, one of the stupidest things I've seen in a long time. It gives opponents a reason to claim "he's not one of us."<BR/><BR/>Woody, dude...get someone with Marion County experience on your team...fast. <BR/><BR/>And dial in a salad once in a while man. Geeeeesh.<BR/><BR/>Wilson: I did check out your post regarding the Carson tributes. Very nice.<BR/><BR/>Now, can someone please tell those two Congresswomen who spoke at the funeral to 1) learn some funeral manners and 2) go back home and tell their constituents who they should elect. It's bene a long time since I've seen that kind of rudeness at a funeral.<BR/><BR/>If Julia wanted Andre so badly..well, that's her choice, but it defies logic. And she could easily have done another deathbed "interview" with the "journalist" Amos Brown. What a sham that was.<BR/><BR/>RIP, Julia. Too soon gone, too late appreciated.<BR/><BR/>But, you trained us well, we've got minds of our own, we like experienced candidates, and we'll make our own choices now, thank you very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-64587135861179606522007-12-26T14:12:00.000-05:002007-12-26T14:12:00.000-05:00I ditto:<BR/>Bravissimo, Gary!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-73763022531125260362007-12-26T08:26:00.000-05:002007-12-26T08:26:00.000-05:00Indiana is getting to be a popular destination for LF.

The Constitution can be used to do whatever a handful of judges want it to do. If enough "voters" vote in people who end up electing a supreme court that says gays can't marry, then using your logic, you can no longer say this is wrong. The ultimate "authority" has spoken, thus the way it is. What do you call a group of people who vote to violate personal liberties of others? This is OK as long as they use "the system?" Scary.<BR/><BR/><B>This is not a legacy, this is a continuation from Julia camp to maintain power, because if he loses, that be Sir Andre, then the political machine will crumble.</B><BR/><BR/>Yup. This is their biggest fear, losing control. All one has to do is look at Burton doing _everything_ he can to make sure the family employer stays in business. McGoff has him running scared, and with good reason. The Burton machine/family has a lot to lose if they lose the seat.

This is what makes a true genius, this man has not made any public statements regarding his bid, nor will he make one. The more we talk about this young man the more he gains in successfully making his bid for congress. This whole funeral of Julia Carson has been a joke, it is very sad that Andre and his family has manipulated their grandmothers name and legacy to continue their domination in Indiana politics. This is not a legacy, this is a continuation from Julia camp to maintain power, because if he loses, that be Sir Andre, then the political machine will crumble.<BR/> If he wins, then it will be gods will not Andre nor his grandmother. She to is standing in front of God and I am pretty sure he has brought out his book and is beginning to ask her some serious questions. Andre must come out and address the public and give us his vision as it relates to Indianapolis. He like many others fighting to represent Indy, must get off THEIR ASS, and stop riding his dead grand mother platform and present his own VISION AND VALUES, then, and only then will he get the respect he trully deserves. Until then, if he continues to hide then what ever is in the dark will come to light. STAND UP MR. ANDRE CARSON AND BE A MAN, AND STOP HAVING PEOPLE SPEAK FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE A LEADER LETS HEAR YOU IN A PUBLIC DEBATE, YOU: GREG PORTER, CAROLENE MAYS, DAVID O, ELROD, CARL DRUMER, LACY JOHNSON, FRANK ANDERSON. YOU SEE WHAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IS THIS. NEITHER OF THE INDIVIDUALS MENTION HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING FOR INDIANAPOLIS. IF THEY HAVE I APOLOGIZES. THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT CITY NEED ALL OF THESE PEOPLE TO COME FOWARD. AND ALLOW THE CITIZENS TO DECIDE WHO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION.<BR/>WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF? THIS IS NOT A MONARCHY THIS WE ALL KNOW. WAKE UP AND SPELL THE COFFEE SIR ANDRE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-45485633001556307472007-12-24T23:30:00.000-05:002007-12-24T23:30:00.000-05:00Not sure what julia did for Veterans, but she was a strong union supporter.

Julia Carson crossed all lines in a multi-cultural way and persons of all views loved her. Look at her voting record to determine what she was really all about--she did not vote the NOI, Jackson, Lugar or Evan Bayh way---she voted CARSON---pro-gay, pro-Jewish, pro-peace, pro-labor, pro-grassroots. That's all that matters now. If you follow the reasoning of some of these folks, why is there not criticism that right-wing Bushite Mitch Daniels was the MOST prominent figure at her funeral..? I am glad for EVERYONE who was there to honor her.<BR/> Futhermore, I would like to know where all the missing Indiana county-city commissioners, state senators and state reps were? both black and white. Guess they were jealous of her success? But short of being on a sickbed, anyone missing has no class in my book.<BR/><BR/><BR/> Finally, Andre Carson has IT ALL. He is totally his grandmother's grandson. He has the vision, the soul, the experience, the sensitivity, the kindness and the legacy of Julia Carson to carry him through and he will be much much better in Congress than all those other names being bandied about. Like his grandmother, he LOVES Indianapolis and will bring it home like she did, always.<BR/> 6:25 PM EST</I>Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-77054909337533113062007-12-24T17:50:00.000-05:002007-12-24T17:50:00.000-05:00Jack Abramoff also had a previous<BR/>comittment preventing his<BR/>attendance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70702364400526716682007-12-24T16:25:00.000-05:002007-12-24T16:25:00.000-05:00Stand correctedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
