leave it to ward to horn in on a picture of the people who are really doing some good-shameless!
Wow! Ward actually opened
Wow! Ward actually opened his rusty old wallet to donate $1 of his own money! Impressive.
He will probably write it off on his taxes, and then also asked to be reimbursed from campaign funds considering the press coverage it provided him.
Ward actually practices family values
Hey, it's Christmas. Ward does a lot for this area,
that's why he's re-elected over and over by such a wide margin.
No ethics violations or affairs on the side.
And he's a nice guy, long term marraige, attends church, great kids.
You're right on most points,
You're right on most points, Snowda. Happy Holidays to you and Mr Ward.
I'll reserve my comments about what he does for the area for another time.
Trashing John Ward won't work
He is a solid guy and a fine legislator. And the voters in his district know it. Cheap shots just backfire.
wish he were my legislator
Mine is invisible. Oh, I did see an old campaign sign of his on the highway to town. I wouldn't recognize him in a lineup.
John Ward
is a bloated example of hypocrissy. He is only interested in himself and power, and one day people will realize he is no better than Welfare Wellstone.
Would Gazelka drop a penny in the bucket?
Inquiring minds want to know.
he's everywhere
Representative Ward, everywhere I go, he's there - volunteering or donating.
More than I can say for the other elected official from here.
With my 'liberal' friends
last night we volunteered feeding the poor and tonight we are going to church...
got a problem with that?
I didn't just drop a few dollars in the bucket, I sent them a big check.
Did you? rich rule
Lesson: Never (never never never never) paint with a wide brush.
Merry Christmas everyone.

don't trip over the state line as you leave
you will feel right at home there...home of gingrich and cain
and out he goes with a racist comment
Just got word that I am being tranfered to "Blacklanta."
And he sits in judgement of ME? Incredible.
Blacklanta
You would think this community would benefit from a cultural diversity program and at the same time, be more than willing to remove this label.
ah but you two
have trapped yourselves with those comments. rrpd is not of our community he has said. i think he lives and works where they have all your diversity programs. those programs are boondoggles that employ lefty uber racists and milk the systim.
