Blackwell Met With Ministers More Often Than IRS Complaint Alleged
Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell met with two conservative pastors more often than alleged in an IRS complaint accusing the pastors of improper support of his campaign for governor. A review of Blackwell's schedule found 18 other meetings or contact with the pastors, including flights on a church-owned plane, meetings in Blackwell's office, and attendance at church services.

Much more, including a description of the meetings:

3. It sounds like the pastors lied not him!
:rofl: Sounds like Blackwell's own records proved the pastors to be bold faced liars to me!

4. See, to me everyone's lying. But then again, I've become so jaded
that you'll never convince me that there's an honest repuke on the planet. I know for damn sure Blackwell isn't.

6. Oh, I have to agree with you completely
Blackwell is scum ... slug slime without the glitter. Seems like the pastors there are too as they are trying to save their tax status!

13. Stop insulting slugs!!! Compared to them and their slime, Blackwell
is lower and infinitely more disgusting.



A morally bankrupt monster through and through.

2. Blackwell helped the Chimp steal election number two. A laser beam focus
should be put on all of this criminal's back door dealings.

7. Check out the ministers...
Yes, it does look like the ministers are less than, uh, honest -- but you have to keep in mind who they are. Google them and you'll see what I mean. But it's also obvious Blackwell doesn't want the extent of his connection to conservative ministers to be known to the media.

(By the way, I have to live in Ohio -- and yeah, very messy.)

9. Look what else Blackwell has been up to....
He's posting people's Social Security numbers on his Secretary of State (Ohio) website:

10. Blackwell is the ENEMY. We should never forget that this walking
waste of skin played a TREMENDOUS role in the stolen election of 2004; they might not have been able to pull it off without him.
This bastard did what no TRUE Republican would do...he sold-out democracy ( and therefore, his country)for his own political gain.
He needs to go DOWN...and take all those pseudo-religious f*#ks who ride on his coat-tails(or is it the other way around?) with him.

12. I'm glad you suggest that for two reasons....
1. This guy is running for Ohio Governor and I would have to move if he gets elected.

2. I never noticed "Greatest" before ... a swell resource. Thanks.

14. I like to think of it as the "Deserving Wider Recognition" Page
after a category in the DownBeat Reader's Poll: Talent Deserving Wider Recognition.

I'd give a pretty penny to be discussing some worthwhile "talents", instead of this mess.
