Mayoral Campaign - When Is It Mud?

Postby Bill Call » Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:25 pm

I'm just curious.

The Fitzgerald campaign has said:

1. Crime in Lakewood is increasing and is a serious problem. The Mayor's response was to insist that crime is not increasing in Lakewood. Furthermore, the Mayor's campaign has filed an election complaint stating that saying crime is increasing in Lakewood is a violation of election laws.

2. That Mayor George still wants an income tax increase. The Mayor's response was to insist that he never wanted an income tax increase. Not only that, the Mayor's campaign stated that it is a violation of election law to say that the Mayor wants an income tax increase.

3. That the City is facing a budget deficit and that City financial reserves have declined substantially in the last few years. The Mayor's campaign says that the City is in great financial shape and that it is a violation of election laws to state that it is not.

The George campaign has said:

1. Fitzgerald is a lunatic. No response from Fitzgerald Campaign.
2. Fitzgerald is unstable. No response from the Fitzgerald Campaign.
3. Fitzgerald can't hold a job. No response from the Fitzgerald Campaign.
4. Fitzgerald is a liar. No response from the Fitzgerald Campaign
5. Fitzgerald has violated campaign finance laws. Fitzgerald denies the claim stating in part that, crime is increasing, the City has budget problems and that having an opinion about the state of the City is not a violation of campaign finance laws.
6. Did I mention that the George campaign claims Ed Fitzgerald is a lunatic?

Mud?

I have actually never heard any of this from the MTG Camp.

At the same time Ed himself has been very level headed in his claims.

Now if it is someone thnking they are helping the candidate that would be another story.

You know like you posting this.

The city is poisoned enough without this last minute fire.

Don't you think?

You must not get any of the Mayor's campaign literature then. I got a mailer from MTG with a guy being pied in the face saying "Ed Fitzgerald wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face."

That certainly seems to prove Bills #4. I can't comment on the rest as I refuse to read mudslinging literature from either candidate. Unfortunately the pie was huge on the outside of the mailer.

Careful Bill, you're making sense and that scares me.

I have actually been embarrassed by MTG's campaign literature. It gives the impression an eight year old is running this city. Pies. Toy guns. Classy.

My apologies to all the eight year olds out there.
