Wow, Taxpayer, you opened a can of worms. More on that later. But thanks for the early AM stimulation.

Is Ron Gibson dillusional? From whom does he expect to gain support? Most of the black Dem leadership is tied up already. He socked an IMPD officer, however complicated that case ended up being, and that won't win him much support beyond the blindly-loyal folks.

He was a lackluster council member. At best. I'm not saying the rank-and-file PCs are solidly behind Melina, because they're not, but I can't honestly think of a single one who'd support Ron for anything ever again.

There is one way he could bust out of the pack. He has one issue which would make him unique. I'll wait to see if that issue comes to light, although it's hardly a secret.

And poor Greg. One of the nicest guys around. Inherited a royal mess in the County Assessor's office and worked hard to clean it up.
He won't get 15% of the party vote in May.

(sigh)

Yep. It could make him bust through some barriers; it might hold him back. It would definitely be a first.

But other Gibson questions abound: what's he doing for a living these days? How is he going to run from the IMPD assult thing? Regardless how that case came out, the community perception is ugly.

By the way, the Ann Coulter pic on this webpage is SCARY before all the coffee is digested. Scary. I swear that's a man in drag.

That one “issue” makes him a hypocrite since he originally voted against it until forced on the second vote to support it by Julia Carson.

Intelligent and attractive females will always be scary to the mentally challenged. One of the better outcomes of so called feminism is that ladies no longer have to play dumb so as to not scare off the timid and mentally inferior. By the way, Michelle Obama probably has increased ratings because she does not wield her battle ax like most of the Dem nags.

“Intelligent and attractive females will always be scary to the mentally challenged.”

That's a myth.

What “myth” ? Why ask only the women? I'm confused.

Haiti? I gave to the Red Cross and through my church, which had already built a chapel, school and orphanage in Haiti over the last 25 years.

It's happy hour somewhere.

I get it now, you all know each other,so the new guy with an opinion gets censerd by Abdul.Hmmm Is TA really Tom John

Abbie,

I have been reading with great interest the millions of dollars in education budget cuts from townships in Marion County and around the state. Franklin Township 6 mil, Perry Township 5 mil, etc….

I need to ask. If the public school system have been so wasteful with taxpayers money for education, then why has it taken property tax caps to save millions of dollars of taxpayers education money? Hmmmmm

The fact is intelligent, attractive women are villified by the libs, particularly libs in the media. And since liberals are, by their nature, lacking in intelligence, most victims of these attacks are conservative.

I agree that Ann Coulter is not a looker, she's usually right, though I don't always like her approach. But the visceral hatred for women like Sarah Palin (educated and intelligent are not synonymous, TA) is quite revealing about those who hate her. And it comes down to one thing, she's pro-life. The catty bs from folks like TA is more the result of an unresolved hatred for those among us who happen to be attractive.

Guest asks a good question. If schools can cut, let's closely follow their performance. And we'll see if that money was actually needed. It will take time to tell, but it's a fair observation. For my money, the central office cuts get the most bang for the buck. But that's just me.

Rico, you slay me. You've consistently shout out at me, making grand sweeping assumptions about who I am, what I think, etc. You're so far off-base it's ridiculous.

Ann Coulter usually right. Hilarious. She's mean, she's a business whore, taking money from anyone who will pay, and while I agree with her on some fiscal issues, the rest of her personality doesn't outweigh that.

But I'll give Ann this much–she is bright. Her views make me think, sometimes real hard. She matriculated at outstanding institutions, and she's challenged accepted views wherever she went. Clearly, this jis a woman who continues to expand her knowledge base. Unlike Ex Gov. Palin. That's intelligent.

As for Sarah–she appeals to many folks, to be sure. But Hector is right. Throughout her life, she often quits when it gets tough. Governor or three colleges. We all knew fellow college students who hopped around, didn't we? Kids who couldn't quite find their way. Some of them did quite well when the light bulb finally went off. None of them shuld be a state's or nation's CEO, however.

She's stuck by her family, and that is admirable. But that alone does not qualify her to be a national leader. There's not much more to her–philosophically, she's a quarter-inch thick and eight miles wide. Her record as mayor and governor confirms that to even staunch Reaganite conservative onlookers like Peggy Noonan, who's no slouch.

Eidently those attributes qualify Sarah to be a Fox commentator. So be it. There are stooges on MSNBC, too. Each side of the spectrum has its nonsense.

It is getting tougher to sort. But I'll gladly sort. 'Tis the stuff of which good voters are made. And by “good voters,” I don't just mean those who agree with me.

Wake up, Rico. There are smart folks all around you who don't always agree with you. You miight learn something. I do.

Maybe, but I enjoy reading her perspective.

Fair enough. If getting paid (hired) by an employer with an acknowledged ideological tilt (demographics) makes the writer's words suspect, then who writes about national contemporary political events with plausibility and isn't getting paid for it?

Not necessarily disagreeing. By my recollection, Noonan favored President Obama in the election. If she has not drifted to her present thoughts based on a reassessment of events, then whom is your example of untainted “truth”?

Are we or are we not figuring out the tilt to everything we read?
