Its doubtful Crisler could even get re-elected to his Ward seat this year. I mean, what is he going to do, run on his record?

What is wierd is that no one is even commenting on this guy. On the JFP "rag" no-one even commented on his "announcement" article. Wierd.

Why is that weird? There is nothing to talk about. Look at what has happened to his ward while he's been on the council.

Kingfish, when are YOU filing to run?

Two of my friends had to move out of his ward last year. Their homes were paid for. One was able to sell his home for 30,000 and the other home is still on the market. Now they are having to pay a mortgage in NE Jackson. Living in constant fear was the reason they had to leave South Jackson.

Jeff Goode wants Crisler to run for mayor. Crisler has nothing to run on. I'm sorry, but this makes me very angry. Goode supported Melton, remember. He needs to stick to making pasta or at least thats what he calls it.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is the matter of a little conflict-of-interest.

What would that be?

I must disagree with the previous comments. I am a Bus. man and would rather hire a man that has faced harms way for his country as well as been thru Military and peace officer training. The Military teaches you to be disiplined and goal oriented. The others in the race are good men but we have already tried the bureaucrat method and the loose cannon. Let us try a military man for once. I am supporting Crisler for Mayor. Thankyou, Tony Geiger

I'm a resident of the Ward and I can tell you that Marshand Crisler has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the Ward. I'd be amazed if he could find it. As far as the Ward goes, it has a lot of hard-working, good families and singles in it, but you wouldn't know this by the publicity the C-L gives it. They can't even distinguish between west and south Jackson and there is a geographical difference. Crisler for Mayor - only if you want no Jackson City Government AGAIN. When will every one in this City come to the same conclusion. The City Council has been the same (pretty much) for years. Nothing is happening; things are getting worse. They all need to be replaced. We need fresh people with fresh ideas.

That is why I chose McCain over Obama. Obviously everyone does not see it that way. Crisler has had his chance to prove himself and I see no positive results.

In Jackson Mississippi we have a strong Mayor weak council form of government. In a perfect world Ben Allen or Jeff Weill would be good candidates for Mayor but that is out of the question. I know Crisler personally and I also no he risked his life for our country and our state while the other candidates were enjoying our freedom which is not free!Ben Allen was a great councilman and he will be the first to tell you the state of Jackson in in the hands of the Mayor. "cime is a perception" Harvey Johnson" or our current Mayor which has not worked out as he or we had planned. Crisler has the Disipline and the Drive to move Jackson foward. Blaming him for the crime is not fair to him until and if he is the Mayor. The Buck stops with whomever the Mayor is! Thankyou,Tonygeiger

I totally respect the fact that Crisler risked his life for us. I honestly do. Truth is, people in his ward are risking their life just by living there. It is not fair to blame him for the crime, but I don't think he has done enough to try to curb it either. He didn't use his military mentality to get through to the young and old criminals. He had the ability, no dought. I hear that ten years ago people wouldn't even drive through Fondren. Today it is where everyone loves to be. Crisler is a nice guy, but it takes a little more than happy hours downtown to be mayor.

Ben Allen was a joke Tony as is Crisler. Weill has done more to expose waste and corruption in a year and a half than both of them put together during their entire time on the Council. The form of government argument is a tired lame excuse.

And maybe you should self-disclose your employer Tony, your firm's clients and their connections that benefit from maintaining the status quo.

Thanks but no thanks Tony for your opinion and choice in no-experience ineffective candidates.

Chuck, I am an independent sales rep for FMS lighting as well as an independent for Hayes Dent Public Str. which means I sign the front of my checks as well as the back. I am paid based on what I sale. Hayes and I go back to our OleMiss dayes where we worked for the Gipper,a wonderful man and my hero Ronald Reagan. I know M.Crisler personally and I know he is a strong Christian Man who risked his life during Desert Storm as did Hayes while most young people their age were hanging out. My home is in Jackson, I go to church in Jackson and I work and play in Jackson.Damn right I care who our Mayor is because I know what Jackson can be. I in no way want to maintain status quo. Thankyou,Tony Geiger

There will be a Republican primary for mayor in Jackson come May. How odd that Mr. Hinds County Executive Committeeman Emeritus Tony Geiger is going to crossover and vote in the Democratic primary.

Anonymous said...

I do not enjoy voting in the Democrat primary but as my hero Ronald Reagan used to tell his buddies when they were saying "let Reagan be Reagan" is that he would make the best deal he could when it is not possible to get a Reagan conservative. I would like to see Jeff Weill or Ben Allen have a shot,but any Republican is not going to be elected period. I am a Reagan Conservative and I admire GWB but far from a conservative is he. I am baffled that people have such strong opinions on this web site but fail to use their real names. M.C. is a good man and the man for the job. I am a Christian first,a Conservative second and a Republican third. Crisler is more conservative than our 2008 Republican Presidential candidate. Thankyou,Tony geiger

When it comes to fiscal policy Ben Allen is far away from being a Reagan Conservative. Not even close.

Anonymous said...

I would vote for Kenneth Stokes before Ben Allen!!

I personally like Ben but I think Jeff has the right training and personality and a first rate intellect to handle all the insane antics that one has to deal with on our council. He is cool under pressure. He works very well with Marshand and would like to see him as Mayor. Infact he attended an event we had. He knows that the demographics of our city make it impossible for a Northeast Jackson Republican to be elected city wide. That is a fact of life. Please give Crisler another look and a chance to earn your vote. Thankyou, Tony geiger

First of all Marshand Crisler would be the perfect mayor for the city of jackson ,for so many years YOU people have talked about jackson as if it was not the capitol city of this fine state of mississippi. Now that the city of jackson has finally gotten a real solider like Crisler YOU people are mad, and why becasue you can see the change that Crisler has in mind, and YOU people dont like it why becasue YOU would dare for him to build a jackson far greater than Madison or Ridgeland county. YOU people know he can do it Thats why YOU all are so mad. The man has fought in two wars and you question his passion to cleaning up the city of jackson. For the person with the first response yes sir he is going to run on his record because unlike many of others Crisler has been on the war field and has fought the tought fight and he would give that same kind of heart and desire to the people of jackson mississippi. So stop beating the guy up and give hem a chance rather yet take a look at all ther other people running for mayor and then look one more time at crisler . Please vote may 5th Crisler for city hall.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
