It's the second of two autonomous Republican attack committee ads to arrive via snail mail in a week's time, and it isn't even September. In a perfect world, we could delete scurrilous offal like this, but perfection apparently exists on one's Facebook site only.Taking a cue from the mailing: From where I'm seated just now, Rep. Clere lacks the commitment to principles of free speech needed to serve as state representative.
Can Ed Clere explain his position on tolls for the Ohio River Bridges Project?
Thanks.
Again, this idea that a deputy prosecutor is irresponsible because he "cuts deals" is just idiotic to those of us who practice law in this area.
ReplyDeleteIt is designed for nothing more than rabble rousing. Shameful. Maybe we need tolls on stupid mail from the HRCC.
Your memory must be failing you, Roger. The Clere camp told everyone a scant few months ago not to point fingers. Now stop it, or someone might think something around you.
ReplyDeleteThere's something reassuring about the Chrome browser...when one wants to update a page, it reminds one of a particular duty: Reload.
ReplyDeleteAppears that he lacks much more than just a commitment to the principles of free speech.
ReplyDeleteIntegrity springs to mind.
I think it's pretty cool that Shane Gibson has met Skeletor, myself.
ReplyDeleteI mailed the cards back to the HRCC with a note saying they have mistaken us for stupid people who are influenced by fearmongering.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Rep. Clere had mailings with a knife and blood, all alluding to his opponent a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteMan, those were the days -- the classy days.
Ed has partly inspired my blog entry today on the concept of "inclusive engagement." Hopefully, because these politicians want to read what is wrote about them, they will also learn what it is, so they can begin practicing it.

Did not get the first one for whatever reason, but did get the one today. Appalling stuff. I voted for Bill Cochrane two years ago, but had planned to vote for Ed this time as I felt he had done a good job representing the area. Today, it's become a different story. I don't care who sends this crap; if the local person did not want it, I have to believe they would be doing something to stop it or, at the very least, issue a statement disavowing any connection to their campaign. Silence is just as much of a response, if not more so.
ReplyDeleteThe HRCC can NOT take over Halloween, it belongs to the children!
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about these cases in particular, but in general, there are situations where bar association ethics rules require a prosecutor to drop a charge. For example, there may be no evidence to support the intial charge.
