Ball has never engaged in politics, and was chosen by Sottile because of his recognition of this level of integrity. The fact that his position would remain if Gilpatric is re-elected is and has been public knowledge. It wouldn't take Ball to promote that idea. The Bruhn ilk is operating like he is an heir apparent. The reality is that he couldn't even carry his fathers shoes, and they were always a little light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-61682816258622870932007-10-10T18:22:00.000-04:002007-10-10T18:22:00.000-04:005:43---Have Democrats and Republicans alike had pa...5:43---Have Democrats and Republicans alike had past indiscretions on the bench?

To hear people say he is unethical and does not deserve to be on the bench is ridiculous. If he is deemed unethical and dishonest over a bumpersticker- than every judge in this city should step down over their indiscretions while on the bench- Because let me tell you- the bumpersticker thing pales in comparison to the complaints made against the other judges in this city.

People have something to say, blurt it out, never stop to think first and then don't even do thier job correctly, and they make a fool out of themselves.

In your last post you implore bloggers not to make personal attacks on any of the candidates. The "biased and baseless conjecture" you are refering to is in regards to Larry Ball. Since when is Larry Ball a candidate for anything? Things started getting messy when Mr. Ball allowed the lines to be blurred as to who was actually running for city court.<BR/><BR/>And Jeremy, in the same vain you mention how we got Gore with Clinton, etc... The difference is Gore was actually running for his position and therefore was part of the "ticket." Mr. Ball is not running for a position, it is unethical for him to be campaiging for himself or anyone else and his supporters shouldn't be doing it either.

Ball has been not-so-secretly campaigning on the platform of "A Vote for Gilpatric is a Vote for Me" since he got the job (it was probably a slogan cooked up by those who put him there as a way to help Gilpatric draw votes he wouldn't otherwise get). Ball's family & closest friends have these stickers on their cars and claim he knew nothing about it. There is no way they came up with this idea, put together money on Ball's behalf, purchased the unethical stickers and distributed them throughout Kingston without Ball being aware. If Mr. Ball or his wife didn't actually sit in on the "committee meeting" regarding this scheme he was certainly asked for approval before the plan was put into action and he condoned it. His plan has always been to deny any involvement should this dirty politicking blow up in his face.<BR/><BR/>As someone else stated earlier---this LACK of good JUDGEMENT, ARROGANCE in being immune to the law and downright DISHONESTY is NOT what we need in a judge.<BR/><BR/>Ball has made his move and it's given the good citizens of Kingston no choice but to get him out of court!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-7039045201685123922007-10-09T02:03:00.000-04:002007-10-09T02:03:00.000-04:00TO 9:49 PM,The reason I didn't publish your commen...TO 9:49 PM,<BR/><BR/>The reason I didn't publish your comment is because Judge Ball has done nothing wrong.

Also, it's not bad spelling, it's bad typing. While you sissys were taking home ec. and typing class in high school I was more interested in sports and girls.
