IS IT TRUE? March 27, 2011
IS IT TRUE Al Lindsey’s pickup truck was egged by vandals early Saturday morning?…that campaign yard signs belonging t Mr. Lindsey’s campaign continue to disappear in the night?…that a couple of people who oppose Mr. Lindsey’s candidacy have launched a lawsuit naming both the Vanderburgh County Election Board and Mr. Lindsey as respondents?…that Mr. David Mosby and his cohort in keeping meticulous notes on the whereabouts of Mr. Lindsey, Randall Whitehouse have launched this suit in an attempt to overturn the decision of the Election Board to allow Mr. Lindsey to run for the democratic nomination for Evansville City Council from the 6th Ward?…that if these two people would work as hard on behalf Mr. Lindsey’s opponent in traditional campaign methods as they are at trying to get Lindsey disqualified that the true purpose of a campaign may be fulfilled?…that is to LET THE VOTERS DECIDE who wins the primary at the ballot box?…that we are interested in the issues that we are in frivolous legal maneuvers?
IS IT TRUE that Rick Davis had a BBQ fundraiser at the Westside Sportsman’s Club yesterday that was well attended?…that something north of 827 people attended and consumed nearly every bite of the BBQ, baked beans, and potato salad on site?…that every piece that was not consumed was taken home for Sunday dinner?…that much money was raised yesterday to fund the campaign as it gets down to the last month of the primary?…that retired Indiana Senator Paul Bitz was well positioned just inside the door and using his cane like a shepard’s hook to corral people in to talk with them about supporting the Davis campaign?
IS IT TRUE that Mort Marcus published an acidic column today on the subject of blaming and denigrating school teachers for the performance problems in Indiana’s schools?…that blaming teachers for problems that are systematic within the administration of education is a miscarriage of justice and an incorrect conclusion?…that Marcus tied the current atmosphere of “tarring and feathering†teachers to the downfall of political leadership?…that an excerpt from this excellent column read:
“The tragedy is that ignorant and bigoted people are encouraged to run for public office when they witness the dumbing-down of society. Lately they have been victorious. We see this in Congress and the Indiana General Assembly. Recently a minority block of Indiana representatives took decisive and divisive action. They left the state rather than permit the majority to push through a retrograde agenda of legislation. … This passive aggressive behavior will not solve the problem. Protest draws attention but rarely wins converts. If progressive thought is to spread and triumph we must communicate our aspirations for a better world and be willing to struggle for their achievement.â€
IS IT TRUE that if you have the ability to develop aspirations and to communicate them clearly you need to thank either your teachers or your parents and hopefully both?…that we all come into this world without the ability to do anything at all to survive?…that we all owe our very existence to the fact that someone loved us and cared for us when we were children?…that as we grow that good parenting and education are the only things that separate us from animals?…that in the upcoming elections and in our day to day lives that thinking before acting is the best way to go?…that we may not all agree but in a world of thinkers, there will be respect and that much of that comes to us from teachers?
IS IT TRUE that the most expensive home reported sold this week in Evansville sold at a price that was enough to buy the 30 lowest priced homes reported?…that this expensive home sold at a 69% discount to an appraisal that was done on that very home in 2005?…that to build the home from scratch even in today’s market would cost in excess of $1.5 Million?…that the 30 low end homes are also selling at big discounts relative to the prices they drew 3 to 5 years ago?…that anyone who tells you that the Evansville housing market has not experienced significant declines similar to the rest of the country is either misinformed or trying their best to win a “Pinocchio Awardâ€?
come on david ,just own up to it that your daughter married a loser
School teacher, helps coach track at local high school, coaches youth basketball, city councilman. May have flaws but not a loser.
Now lets look at you and your family.
did i mention a liar also
Gee I wonder what the relationship is between David Mosby and BJ Watts? or the relationship between Randall Whitehouse and Bob Whitehouse and David Mosby? Concerned citizens I’d guess just looking out for all of us uninformed voters. Do these people see just how obvious this is or how it looks to all of us watching it all unfold.
That’s the Mosby target! “Uniformed Voters”. I think it’s fair for everyone to become as informed as possible on both sides. Lindsey is concerned about the irresponsible spending, parks, taxes, etc. While Watts is, where is he again? Mosby is busy doing the same old school dirty politics. Thanks to Riney for standing up and doing a fabulous job with the Perry Township Trustee position.
I attended Rick’s BBQ yesterday and can testify to the quality of the BBQ that Rick Riney served. I have a slab of ribs in the fridge for later today. A good time was had by all. Next weekend look for everybody at Rick’s breakfast at the CK Newsome Center on Saturday morning.
Obviously we know that Mosby and Watts themselves aren’t out stealing these signs and egging peoples vehicles ( they are too lazy to do something like that) but why haven’t they issued a statement condeming these actions?
They clearly have enough time to file lawsuit after lawsuit over pointless things yet don’t have any time to speak out against these actions? Do they endorse these actions?
I personally would call for the Watts and the Mosbys to condemn the sign stealing and vandalism, not only in the 6th ward but also happening in the 2nd ward. They could also add to the reward fund started by Al Lindsey for information about the perpetrators. Failing to do so is ruining what little credibility either candidate can still scrape up.
I’d also like to see an Al/BJ ebate
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
Do you endorse someone housing their wife in the county while moving into a rent house in the city in order to continue a perennial grudge match?
actually I believe the election board settled that, too bad the Mosby clan keeps dragging it out
I am sure all of the Mosby clan is out looking for jobs because they won’t be at their current ones come Novemebr!
Why not? Whose job will come to an end in November 2011, as a result of political outcome? I don’t know of any Mosbys who hold a job that is in jeapardy “come November” regardless of who wins an election. You’re just another smart alec with no knowledge of government jobs, their start dates, termination dates, or grounds for dismissal. Oh, maybe you mean Missy or B.J.? And you think their livelihood depends on those little city council positions? Pfffffft. You’re a voter? OMG. What’s the world coming to?
I believe BJ will make it ok but Missy has had 4 jobs in the last 2 years, she may need the income
If she is moving on to better herself, whats the problem.
Lindsey’s running a campaign and working hard while Mosby continues his same grudge and tactful ways (it’s almost “comical”) and who knows where Watts is?
Do you actually know the definition of tactful? Try using words you know the meaning of.
Amen brother.
Yes, tackful is completely the wrong word in this case and should have read tacky but glad to see you get my point.
