Bad move KING KWAME! You're going down come November. Democrats in Detroit don't make deals with Republicans. | ||

Amen! The last poll put Hendrix at 51% and that was before the police department's tank started rolling over Kilpatrick's re-election chances. Nicholson is an amazing fundraiser for the Republicans and it doesn't suprise me that he's working for the Kilpatrick camp, now that most of the Democrats have abandoned him. | ||

Who is playing race? When KK did it, all Helmut folks said it was unfair and dishonest, to put it midly. When the email went out, Helmut folks jumped up and down and blasted all who would support the mayor. But when pro-Helmut folks do the same, Helmut supporters post it here and use it proudly to bash the mayor? Not the actions of folks who claim to be better than the KK crew. | ||

Brian, if Kilpatrick wants to bad-mouth Hendrix by saying he's for suburban interests and then hires a white suburban republican to help him with fund raising, then what's wrong with pointing out the hypocrisy of this political move? | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1240 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 63.149.5.130 |
HAHAHA what does it matter Hendrix is a Republican. If he was white and lived in Birmingham he would proudly come out of the closet as a republican! | ||

I hope Rosedaleken is right. I am pretty scared that Kilpatrick will pull it out, now that Nicholson is raising money for him. Nicholson was heard to say this past Friday that he can't think of anything that Archer ever accomplished but that Kilpatrick is a go-getter. I am a Detroit resident and a resident in the Third Precinct. Since Kilpatrick has been in charge there has been turmoil and chaos in the DPD. Kilpatrick's friends are bankrupting the City. Kado Hall is the poorest performing convention center in any big city.I have heard that the Feds are after him. What is Nicholson thinking? I have to wonder what he has been promised. | ||

"Nicholson was heard to say this past Friday that he can't think of anything that Archer ever accomplished but that Kilpatrick is a go-getter." Obviously Nicholson is not too current on Detroit politics. He does not even know that Archer is not running. Somebody ought to buy him a local paper. | ||
Southwestmap Member Username: Southwestmap Post Number: 189 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 64.79.86.206 |
I think Nicholson was responding to a question about "what happened - you were a big supporter of Archer? Why are you not supporting Hendrix? | ||

ILD: Cool gif. I like how you didn't put a first name on it nor did you mention a year or elected office. Since Kilpatrick is a fairly common family name, there's a chance you might actually get to use it for a winning candidate. | ||
Brian Member Username: Brian Post Number: 3137 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 68.73.32.75 |
I never heard of this guy. He ain't shit in Detroit, so this must be a move to get suburban support. Is this the fear that drives Helmut? The fact that KK might take away some of his suburban support? It looks like this has really shaken the Helmut folks. They should have said, so what, since it ain't about getting more votes from Detroit. But I see now that even Jmil thought it worthy to post. Never seen more people who were supposed to be so confident of a win to be constantly angry and frightened. ILD, looks like you shook things up. | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1253 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 68.40.226.188 |
Brian - the way they take their anger out on McPhail just shows how desperately scared they on one front. On the other they are worried that KK is getting someone professional that Hendrix should have got! Don't worry guys Hendrix has plenty of money from all the promises he is making to sell our asses and assets north of 8 mile to pay for all of his campaign promises! | ||

This race is pretty much in the bag, so hopefully Kwame uses the $$ to pay back the city some of the cost of his tenure. People that are shaken should really just chill out, I'd try to raise some cash too if I were Kwame. Still, I have to wonder why Hendrix (being a republican and all) didn't have 1st crack at this guy if he's really so great? Or maybe Kwame's more willing to sacrifice principles for political gain? Not surprising, given his Lansing voting record people seem to have forgotten. I'm not losing any sleep over this, there's something worse to think about: The Mayor will need a home again. Do you have any For Sale signs next door?? Scary... | ||

From the webmaster of the "Detroit Uncovered" site: "Kilpatrick's new fundraising chief Jim Nicholson, the Chairman of PVS Chemicals, is also a contractor with the water department, sources tell us. He (Kilpatrick) tapped a Republican from the burbs after his camp labeled Hendrix the suburban candidate. Speaking of which, the head of the water dept lives in the burbs, which is where kilpatrick held a major fundraiser." | ||

KK's getting no financial support from the residents of the City, why not try his hand with wealthy suburbanites? Of course, he did this in his last election campaign and promised the world to his suburban supporters. Now that he hasn't come through, you can bet those same supporters are going to stay away big time. I was at a fundraiser for KK in Grosse Pointe in the last campaign. What was KK's promise to the group? To bust AFSME. Nice guy huh. | ||
Fnemecek Member Username: Fnemecek Post Number: 1109 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 68.255.166.27 |
Brian: Why would the Hendrix camp worry about Kilpatrick taking away suburban support? The suburbs have always been Kilpatrick's greatest source of strength, which is why: (a) Almost 2/3 of Kilpatrick's funding ultimately comes from outside of Detroit (check his campaign finance report if you doubt me); (b) He started bashing the suburbs only after that funding started to try up; and (c) Kilpatrick is 19 points down in the polls. | ||
Fnemecek Member Username: Fnemecek Post Number: 1110 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 68.255.166.27 |
Scared??? ILD - if you spent more time in the City, you would've known that: (a) We're up by 19 points in the polls and are gaining ground; (b) We've got almost twice as much money in the bank and, more importantly, the majority of our money is coming from folks who actually live within the Detroit city limits (again, check the campaign finance reports if you doubt me); (c) By the way, we also have more endorsements to boot. So, why do you think we're scared again? Brian and ILD: Seriously, you guys need to spend more time in this city. You might learn a few things. Don't worry, though. I'm sure Hendrix will invite you to his inauguration. It'll give you a chance to look around the place. | ||

Kwame IS NOT AS FAT AS I THOUGHT HE WAS! Actually he is not that big of a man at all. He's just tall and a little thick. Maybe it's the suits and how TV adds pounds. So sorry Big Pimpin' | ||

Bratt - We were at the same meeting for Kilpatrick last night. I thought he did a good job - I had a hard core McPhail supporter who was going to vote for Hendrix (not that he cares for him) switch to Kilpatrick. He felt Kilpatrick was very articulate and quite intelligent - and actually had a vision and plan for Detroit that Hendrix seems to lack. What did you think? | ||
Bratt Member Username: Bratt Post Number: 266 Registered: 01-2004 Posted From: 12.172.207.3 |
I don't know ILD, I am still undecided. One thing I did like was that he was eager to answer every question and he wasn't scared. He didn't care what it was. What I didn't like though, he denied some things about the past, which I know to be true, and he said they weren't. That scares me a little bit. But I do understand all politicians do lie. But I will say this, my main purpose of attending last night was to feel his energy, and I must say I felt comfortable and nothing negative came out of it. Unlike when I had the opportunity to see Hendrix, his was very, very bad. It was so bad that I had to leave the room to get some air. Maybe it was just that particular day, but it was not good at all. What I think I need to do, is to see both of them one more time...that way I will know for sure. | ||

Oh geez here we go again with the same tired old stories from "Ilovedetroit", Quinn, and Bratt. "We were at the same meeting"..."I am still undecided"..."I converted someone that was going to vote for Hendrix to Kilpatrick (McPhail in the first version)..."Kilpatrick is a great speaker and I didn't like what Hendrix had to say"...blah...blah...blah | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1271 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 63.149.5.130 |
You are just scared Metro...losing ground? Bratt, Quinn, and myself - we have noting to lose in this. If Hendrix wins we will live. However, I am not so sure you will. | ||
Metrodetguy Member Username: Metrodetguy Post Number: 1905 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 69.221.76.73 |
On the contrary "Ilovedetroit" you have everything to lose. You've lost w/McPhail, you're going to lose w/Kilpatrick, and you've already lost at life.  | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1272 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 63.149.5.130 |
Wow Metro! You certainly told me. I am fine with McPhail not winning...it is over and it is life. If Kilpatrick loses - I will be upset for all of a minute. I will be more ill in the fact that I have to look at Hendrix's face for four years. However, I think you will be completely devastated. I feel somewhat sorry for you as I know how hard it was for me when McPhail lost. However, you are so ruthlessly nasty and so involved that you will probably need to seek ADDITIONAL psychiatric help. | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1275 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 63.149.5.130 |

Metro: What the hell are you talking about? There are alot of undecideds still out there, myself included. I truly hope that you are not on Hendrix' campaign staff, or out there doing any campaigning for him, cuz you would really suck at it. | ||
Metrodetguy Member Username: Metrodetguy Post Number: 1906 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 69.221.76.73 |
Bratt, careful buddy your story is changing again. You previously said that you WOULD NOT be voting. All while bashing Hendrix. Now you're back to "undecided". You definitely don't suck at being dishonest and disingenuous. | ||

HOLD THE DAMN PHONE! (KNOCK.....KNOCK....KNOCK UPSIDE METRO'S HEAD). My story is not changing you nimwit! I said that if the election was held TODAY...TODAY... I would not vote. I have not changed a DAMN THING.... ever since the primary, I have stated that I am an undecided. Undecided means: I don't favor one over the other right now....GET IT? I hope so, because I really do not want to explain myself to you "ONE MO 'GAIN"!!!!! Next time, it won't be this pretty...smooches!! | ||
Bratt Member Username: Bratt Post Number: 269 Registered: 01-2004 Posted From: 70.229.41.30 |
Oh and one more thing...for all of you who "JUST DON'T GET IT" (Metro), I bash Freman just as much as I bash Big Pimpin. It's just that I noticed that Freman supporters all have their panties in a bunch, Big Pimpin's people sit back and take it like men! | ||

Keep on truckin Bratt. "I will not be voting"..."If the election were held today, I would not vote"..."I'm impartial" (yet bashing Hendrix but not KK)..."I'm undecided" (again bashing Hendrix, but not KK)..."I bash Hendrix as much as KK" (you just don't see it)..."We all met at an event"...all "means the same thing". Right. Nice try. (Message edited by metrodetguy on October 07, 2005) | ||

Bratt, it looks like you're as bad at keeping your stories straight as "Ilovedetroit" and Quinn. You previously claimed to have met them "at a campaign event"...just as "Ilovedetroit" and Quinn claimed to have "met in the kitchen of a church at a campaign event"...and ironically came to the forum within 10 minutes of each other with identical erroneous stories and name-calling about Hendrix while claiming to be "impartial observers". | ||

Metro: Your IQ must be really low....but that's okay the world has to be balanced withthe intelligent and the unintelligent. In your post above you said that ILD and I met in the kitchen of a church. I was correcting your dumb ass because I did not meet ILD in no kitchen. Then in your post above, you said that ILD and I met at a campaign event, and ILD and Quinn met in a kitchen. Damn, who can't keep their shit straight? Sounds like you. (BIG DUH). Maybe the reason you don't think everyone can keep their shit straight is because your shit is all twisted. | ||
Metrodetguy Member Username: Metrodetguy Post Number: 1917 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 69.221.38.85 |
So you're still "undecided" and "impartial" and "not voting" changed to "not voting if the election was today" (all while attacking Hendrix) right Bratt? | ||

Oh yeah, and for the record, I really haven't attacked Freman. All I said was that he gives off negative energies. How is that attacking him? If the man gives off negative energies so be it. And Big Pimpin' does nothing but lie. Now if you want me to start really attacking him I can....say the word.... | ||

Bratt, keep trying. People can't read what has never been posted (although you finally said something negative about KK above...to save face). And no I don't want you to start attacking KK, however, it would be nice to see you give up the "impartial"/"undecided" act while attacking FH. And spare everyone the "negative vibe" act, again, "Ilovedetroit" and Quinn already tried that months ago. | ||

What's wrong with Kwame Kilpatrick hiring Republican? Especially on with a proven track record such as Jim Nicholson, who can help Kilpatick's campaign. This is, afterall, a non-partisan election. Before anyone accuses me of being a Kwame supporter, I have not yet decided for whom I will vote. |
