She was able to advocate for the IFD ladder truck at station 21 and retain its services.<br /><br />She is a member of the various block clubs...attending BRAG, Fall Creek Valley, Meadows, and a host of others! <br /><br />Time and again she stands up for her district's needs....<br /><br />-and Christine has courage! She stood up and said that Frank Straub must go. She supports real public safety, not NY liberalism.<br /><br />Poulakidas was found to have engaged in housing discrimination (see http://www.in.gov/icrc/files/HOfs08080522.pdf) . <br /><br />He is just another liberal Democrat who discriminates. His campaign methods are...unethical. What a poor, lost, discriminating soul!CircleCityScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691157547732269477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-21477447350885032362011-10-31T10:50:39.568-05:002011-10-31T10:50:39.568-05:00Why would anyone ever think that a politician who ...Why would anyone ever think that a politician who stoops to lies and deceptions while campaigning, will change their ethics once in office?<br /><br />And why do people like Vox, just dismiss it a 'politics as usual'?

I left the district in 2009 for a more northern climate, and I'm looking forward to the coming Democratic sweep.Vox Populihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174941325997674801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-18778863755775451632011-10-30T20:37:17.958-05:002011-10-30T20:37:17.958-05:00So who are you: Vox Populi?

If people are confused by them, they deserve to be deceived."<br /><br />I bumped into Christine Scales at a local market, and she told me that several of her elderly constituents have called her, confused about the postcards she had sent. Are these the people who "deserve to be deceived?"DennyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746183032340675122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1674143201161520592011-10-30T19:04:25.010-05:002011-10-30T19:04:25.010-05:00The dramatic illustration in the Musgrave negative...The dramatic illustration in the Musgrave negative TV ad is not even remotely comparable to the post card mailer against Scales. It's a dramatic video illustration with an actor, which has an entirely different effect than handwritten words that expressly represent that the candidate wrote them. Nowhere in that TV ad does it suggest the actor is Musgrave, and there is no possibility for anyone mistaking the actor for the candidate. Give me an example of a negative campaign piece used in Indiana that falsely represented a letter written by a candidate to paint that candidate in a false light.Gary R.

These are clearly parody ads. If people are confused by them, they deserve to be deceived. They are clearly marked that they are paid for by the Democratic Party.<br /><br />You mentioned earlier this has never happened before, but political ads and mailers frequently "impersonate" political opponents.<br /><br />See this ad against Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave in Colorado a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvBmgrheIo4&feature=related<br /><br />It clearly isn't Musgrave taking the dead man's watch, but we are meant to think it is. Any intelligent person will tell this mailer is also an impersonation.Vox Populihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174941325997674801noreply@blogger.com
