Quinn: Poll? What poll?

The Regina Quinn for Mayor Campaign issued the following press release:


RESPONSE TO REPUBLIC GROUP'S POLL 
JACKSON-- On March 17, 2014, the Republic Group, LLC released a  poll in which voters were asked who they would be casting their vote for in the April 8, 2014 special election for Mayor of the City of Jackson.

With a relatively small sampling of people, and little known about this sample beyond their eligibility to vote, there is cause for concern regarding the legitimacy of its findings. The timing of the poll is also a concern, as it was conducted  before many candidates had qualified for the special election.

“My campaign for mayor did not begin until a couple of days after Mayor Lumumba’s funeral. We did not contact a single voter, purchase a single yard sign, nor did we discuss any strategy for the election,” Quinn said. “Mayor Lumumba was a friend and a mentor, and I refused to engage in any campaign activities out of respect for Mayor Lumumba and his family, and our grieving city.”

Perhaps the most disconcerting element of the controversial poll is the group that conducted it: the Republic Group. This company has close ties to one of the campaigns the poll deemed to be a front-runner.

"The Regina Quinn campaign refutes the findings of the Republic Group's poll. Our campaign is a person-to-person, block-to-block, and ward-to-ward campaign that spans the city. Attorney Quinn is connecting with voters in Jackson's communities every day--talking to citizens and hearing their concerns," said campaign manager Tyrone Hendrix. 
 
“Other campaigns may have gotten a head start, but our momentum has increased tremendously," said Hendrix. "The only finding of the poll that we can agree with is that Jackson voters are largely undecided. Our campaign looks forward to earning each and every one of their votes in the coming weeks heading into the April 8th election."

I thought/hoped she had decided not to run--quite a checkered background--just more noise and confusion!!

Is this the lady who filed for bankruptcy twice?

Bullshit re the bankruptcy comment. Is that worse for the city than electing a man who advocated a separate world for blacks and exclusion of whites with everlasting reparations and unending benefits for anybody who could prove a scintilla of negro heritage?

Of course Harvey never had a job in his life other than as a grant writer and take a look at Frank Melton's resume. Junior has no work experience to speak of and Baretta-Simeone has done what in her lifetime?

I don't know her from Adam, but, she is correct in her comments about the poll. Checkered background my ass.

It is relevant to note that MANY people today (not typically readers of this blog) actually RESPECT those that have SCAMMMED the system--ESPECIALLY if they screwed whitey in da process!!

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.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
