The Wars of the Blogs

As I became interested in politics sometime last summer during the Mayors race in Indianapolis, I was glad to see many from different walks of life gathering for one cause. We were all against Bart Peterson income tax raise that he was so proud of and we stood together, united and we won the election for our now Mayor Greg Ballard.

Now today as I look around at the internet blogs, these same people seem to be at odd with each other. We have Advance America jumping on our talk radio personality Abdul Hakim-Shabazz for remaining silent as the entire Farrakhan controversy. I must say that there are two points I also disagree with Abdul on and that is the candidates religion does matter and may be a concern to most people. Also the person sexual orientation may be of concern for those who do not support that kind of lifestyle.

Then this brings us to our friend Melyssa and the Hoosiers for Fair Taxation. It seems that they are more concern with gay rights and bashing Mr. Miller then getting the job done with this election like they did with our November Mayor’s race. As you all know by now they are supporting the Libertarian candidate Sean Shepard. And I have seen Sean at many tax protest in the pass and thank him for it. But We live in Indiana folks. When you mix gay rights, gay marriage into the election in the state of Indiana I do not believe you will get that much done.

Then we have one called The Accidental Mayor. I can’t really understand why this site is even going. I understand that one of Bart Peterson supporters has this one to bash anything and everything that they can find on our new Mayor Ballard. And I do not think they have brought up anything that is of concern so far.

What these blogs need to do is focus more on the issue of taxes and property tax relief instead of bashing each other on where they stand on personal issues.
In my opinion and I will state here that I do not agree 100% with Jon Elrod, but I think he will be the best candidate represent us in the 7th district. That is if you don’t want more of Ms Carson.
