Vote for my Dad

Posted: October 29, 2012 - 4:36pm

Vote for Dad

As a parent, John Ward raised his four children to know the definitions of respect and hard work. He was a model of these traits in his roles as a father, teacher, coach, and mentor.

In retirement, John Ward has continued to model these traits in the legislative system. For the last six years I have watched him listen to all sides of many issues, fight for his constituents, and stand for what he believes in and values.

I have seen my father evolve from a man who fought for children to a man who fights for a district of people. John Ward is always willing to listen to all people regardless of their position and he responds to every person that contacts him. He tirelessly fights for what his constituents want and what he believes. I have heard him say over and over that he votes first with his conscience, second with his constituents, and third with his caucus. My father is the kind of person we need in St. Paul representing all people.

Please vote for John Ward on Nov. 6. A vote for him is a vote for all of us.

fight, fight,fight

where does that vote on teacher retiree benefits fit into his 3C's voting system? That was a conflict of interest vote
and raised our taxes by giving the school board the legal right to do it..

Also, there is just too much fighting going on.

Thanks Dad for abortion, Gay Marriage and Debt

What a great dad who stands for such noble things as he is just a sock puppet for the DFL.

Thanks for being a liberal sock puppet dad.

Thanks for your self serving partisan gridlock

No matter what the issue you can count on John Ward for not crossing over the isle and working with others to do what is best for the people of Crow Wing County. Your self serving narrow mindedness is grossly understated.

Thanks "dad".

JohnnyJing, John Ward is

JohnnyJing,

John Ward is pro-life. Maybe do a little research before you post instead of trolling the internet for sock puppet photos.

Also, it's spelled "aisle", not "isle". Again, research.

Purposed

First, JohnnyJing titled one of his comments "Thanks Dad for abortion, Gay Marriage and Debt". I'm guessing he's not pro-choice.

Second, John Ward states on his own website that he's pro-life.

Third, why would you refer to my comment with the phrase "you liberals"? Why would you assume I'm liberal?

Purposed

You amended your original post stating that John Ward has never mentioned being pro-life. I'm sure you did this because you realized you were wrong. Stay classy Purposed.

If you can't play with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

Here's my question for John Ward...

...do you support the re-election of the most pro-abortion President we've ever had? And do you plan to vote "Yes" on the marriage amendment? (We already know how you plan to vote on Voter ID). The answers to these two questions will tell you a lot about how John Ward applies his pro-life and pro-family beliefs.

Little Johnny Ward

1. Abuses Veterans-Uses them for his political advantage only.
2. Abuses Handicapped Citizens-Flaunts his handicap for political use while other handicapped people suffer.
3. Not a Veteran but attempted to join the American Legion and got caught so he used his fathers honor as a veteran and joined "Sons of American Legion."
4. Does not have support of Veterans Organizations but claims in his literature to have support of veterans groups. It only takes 2 veterans to make a veterans group. There's a difference between Veterans Organizations (congressionaly chartered-can't endorse) and veterans groups. He is deceitful in his literature.
5. Needs more time at home to play with his GI Joe doll.
6. Uses his family members to publish opinion articles. Like they would say anything bad about their own dad. LOL
7. Reuses old letters from 2 campaigns ago for support today.
NOT my idea of someone that will represent me in St. Paul. He may use you to advance his own political career but don't be misled. If it's not for Johnny, nothing will happen for you.
ANSWER: Vote honor and respect. Vote Cris Kellett.

Please list all of Ward's pro-life initiatives ...

I couldn't think of any.

What legislative initiatives has Ward put forward on his own to show his "pro-life" beliefs?

What has Wards done to preserve "Christian marriage?"

What has Ward done to cut our debt, cut government and lower our taxes for us and our children?

BTW liberal sock puppets look the same. You know one when you see them.

Ward supports radical tax funded and pro abortion candidates

* Pro abortion Barack Obama. Obama even supported legislation to kill abortion "survivors."
* Pro abortion Mark Dayton
* Pro abortion House minority leader Paul Thessin. Is a radical pro abortion advocate.

Ward's supporting radical tax funded abortion and pro abortion candidates that are leaders lets us know his stance on 'pro life." Pro life is his convenient political position not a conviction. Any questions??

Does Ward's supporting of radical pro abortion candidates make him a "racist?"

Thanks for the distinction between veterans groups and veterans

...organizations, Charlie. I didn't know the threshold for being called a veterans group was so low.

Your logic...yeah, it's flawed.

JohnnyJing,

Calling someone who is pro choice "pro abortion" is like calling someone against gun control "pro murder". Your logic just doesn't make sense.

As far as John Ward's pro-life voting record, it's very clear...
http://www.mccl.org/document.doc?id=537

As far as that picture of that dumb magic marker sign...
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/11/cains-false-attack-on-planned-parenthood/

Simple request - check your facts before you post.

Margaret Sanger: Negros Genetically Inferior

"Margaret Sanger founder of Planned Parenthood said about her 1939 Negro Project, "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out the idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." [1]

"Clarence Gamble, president of the American Eugenics Research Association, said, "There is a great danger that we will fail because the Negroes think it a plan for extermination. Hence lets appear to let the colored run it as we appear to let [the] south do the conference in Atlanta."[2] Under this policy, Planned Parenthood of America hired a full-time "Negro Consultant" in 1944.[3]"

"The entire operation [Sanger's 1939 Negro Project] then was a ruse--a manipulative attempt to get Blacks to cooperate in their own elimination."

"In her book The Pivot of Civilization, Sanger advocated the eradication of "human weeds," segregating "morons, misfits and [the] maladjusted" and sterilizing "genetically inferior races."

They use tax money for Planned Parenthood which is akin to funding the Klu Klux Klan. Planned Parenthood has killed probably millions of African American babies. How many did the KKK kill?

What has Catholic "pro-life" John Ward, the liberal sock puppet done about it?

I got

$10 says ol Johnny wrote this himself. Both sides are guilty of misleading people in their ads and in their comments, but nobody does it better than Ward. I have voted for him before, but will not make that mistake again. Time for him to be retired from office.

How can you people be so

How can you people be so nasty and disingenuous? Is there something about anonymity that makes the conversations on these blogs so inflammatory? I can't believe that Brainerd Dispatch readers are intentionally this biased and ridiculously uninformed or misinformed. Have you no sense of decency?

Many Germans were "Pro Choice" on Jews

That doesn't mean that they would kill the Jews themselves. They were OK with others doing it, and using German tax money to do it.

Evil triumphs because good people do nothing ... just like the liberal DFL sock puppet.
