It doesn't appear related to his character.<BR/><BR/>While there is overwheling evidence to support the idea that the establishment didn't/doesn't want him as a candidate, this adversity has helped expose his true character. He has little respect for the law (witness during the primary the grossly oversized - and hence illegal - sign he erected downtown); he has little regard for the truth (witness his deceptions regarding the financing of the first Zogby poll and later mistruths to GOP leaders and the public about the source of campaign funds); he has little grasp of fiscal conservatism (witness the huge loans he secured with no means of repaying them); and he has little appreciation for true family values (witness his dragging his children to a political rally just hours after seeing him handcuffed on TV).<BR/><BR/>Through no fault of his own, Kelty got caught up in situations for which he was not prepared. You can't blame him for that nor should anybody kick him while he's down.<BR/><BR/>However, it is how we deal with that kind of adversity that defines one's character. Matt Kelty just doesn't measure up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78159830871341480512007-08-19T09:20:00.000-05:002007-08-19T09:20:00.000-05:00IFI is responding to the criticism on their blog, ...IFI is responding to the criticism on their blog, Veritas Rex, in a series of 3 posts.

Bopp has said the campaign disclosure laws Kelty now has been indicted for are less than clear and ambiguous, and thereby joined the chorus of right-wing angels in saying its OK to violate the spirit of the law so long as the letter is observed. Mind you that this is the same Jim Bopp who claims the second sentence of SJR7 is clear and free from any uncertainty...and thereby fully worthy of becoming part of the Indiana constitution. It's all relative for the absolutists, is't it? Methinks Republican mainstreamers are beginning to wake up and feeling as violated as that young man in Clark county.
