It's making this administration pay for its 8 years of failure by instigating as much agitation it can. That will make Ballard continue to 'snuggle up' with Barnes & Thornburg, thinking only they can save him. <BR/><BR/>How absurd that Ballard thinks thats true. He's a one term mayor for sure and is being set up so that he'll have to leave town when he loses the next election, unless he has a heart attack before then due to the stress.<BR/><BR/>Ballad, the carrot they are dangling in front of you is a lie...you will NOT be Governor for the State of Indiana! That carrot is to polarize you for 4 years, fantasing about your next big jump, Brizzi style. <BR/><BR/>WAKE UP, SNAP OUT OF IT, EARTH TO BALLARD? <BR/><BR/>Where are those FRIENDS of yours?!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679367111526265280.post-66132251409629026802008-08-31T16:11:00.000-07:002008-08-31T16:11:00.000-07:00I also assisted in Mayor Ballard's campaign and wo...I also assisted in Mayor Ballard's campaign and worked diligently with a group of activists to help him win his campaign. It was my goal to reach across party lines (I am a Libertarian) to help establish more effective leadership for our city. I understand that Mayor Ballard has to make wise and practical choices in his position, but he should also be aware that we are the ones who helped him the most--not the established Republican Party who actually donated more campaign monies to former Mayor Peterson. Mr. Ballard, I deeply hope you respect the will the people and do what's right. You have greater friends and allies in our non-partisan movement than you will ever find in the Republican Party. Actually, if you are a man of true leadership, why don't you consider dumping the Republican Party and join in the Libertarian movement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
