Mister Commenter

Jefferson:
Your rambling unreadable sentences make for a lot of gibberish.
And, how in the heck can you invite reader comments and then claim that you never read them?
You are as goofy as ever!

FallsFan

Jeff;

First, I agree with Mister’s comment above. I welcome your comments, but I don’t make a habit of reading them. Davis illogic at its best!! What I believe you are really saying is that you welcome only comments from those that buy your line.

You describe the comments on your last blog as being from “defenders/enablers”. I have re-read all of those comments and find none that could reasonably be described as defending or enabling the incident that you described in that blog. I would summarize the theme of those comments as “sick and tired” of your negative, rambling, illogical blogs. Please remember that you are the one who had to plea bargain your way out of charges DIRECTLY RELATED to your so called political career. I will again quote Spiro Agnew: “…I PROMISE I WON’T DECEIVE YOU EXCEPT IN MATTERS OF THIS SORT.” You seem to embrace Spiro’s illogic and hypocrisy in your blog postings.

JimfromMF

Get Over It Davis! Face it, you're Done. No One cares about your conspiracy theories anymore. Each entry you make reinforces your lunacy! You continue to embarass yourself and the community. Enough Already!

Mister Commenter

Here's a tip:

Save recent copies of the Journal-Sentinel.
After about three months rewrite all the stories about welfare fraud and put it in "The Vanguard"
Then claim that welfare fraud is under reported by the media.

By the way, you refer to "The Vanguard" as a group, but all of the stories seem to be written by you. Are there any others?

lindsey jean

Mister Commenter, Jim and Falls Fan:

Get over it.

You guys are embarassing.

Do you have anything intelligent to say?

Make a comment on the issues and leave Davis out of it.

You're part of the problem in the Falls.

How can you guys defend this stuff?

Please make an intelligent comment about defending the actions of the Village Board.

Padraig

If Jefferson Davis does, indeed, forego the opportunity to read the comments on his blog then that would be quite a departure from his days masquerading as "Mr. Conservative" on the Boots and Sabers blog.

The bottom line for me is - sure, Trustee McDonald's behavior should not be tolerated, but I didn't need Jefferson Davis to blog on the issue for me to know that. Frankly, anyone who draws the ire of Mr. Davis gets some unwarranted sympathy just because it's difficult to take Mr. Davis's side on anything.

lindsey jean

Padraig-

I know Mr. Conservative from Boot and Sabers and it isn't Jefferson Davis.

As far as taking sides, how about taking the side of Menomonee Falls and cleaning up the mess of high taxes, high water bills and high health care costs that are taken directly out of your pocket by the Village Board? Or do you like having the government take more and more of your money?

I don't interpret this posting as drawing the ire of Mr. Davis. He's the only person that prints the truth. Something you apparently are afraid of and don't want to deal with while you look the other way.

Have you seen any type of this reporting in the local newspapers to any indepth degree?

Be part of the solution Padraig and not part of the problem.

Padraig

Lindsey Jean - The idea that Jefferson Davis is the only source of truth in Menomonee Falls is simply not true. In fact, Mr. Davis printed his recent review of the McDonald situation after it was reported in the media.

As for high taxes and high water bills - these are hardly something any Menomonee Falls resident needs Jefferson Davis to learn - they can simply open their mail. Nor is Mr. Davis offering any great revelation about increasing health care costs - increases of 15% to 18% are quite common in the public and private sector.

As for the bit about Mr. Conservative, sorry, but I still believe it was Jefferson himself. Just as I believe all the first-name-only ward captains listed on his campaign web site were ficticious names created to trick people into believing he had broad support throughout the village (or were his supporters just afraid to share their last names for some reason). In fact, lindsey jean, given Mr. Davis's track record I would be surprised if "LJ" is just another new JD alias.

I am always happy to be a part of the solution and not part of the problem. Thing is, JD is just another problem of a different color, and not a solution.

lindsey jean

Padraig,

It's nice to know you can actually have a conversation about the issues.

This blog is the only source that actually covers the news indepth. When was the last time you saw anything in the local papers about the issues that are covered here other than water bills and McDonald?

This blog has viable options for these costs that are killing our pocketbooks. Shouldn't the Village Board be protecting our pocketbooks and look for solutions or do you like paying higher taxes and fees? If 15%-18% percent increases are common, then why did the Village's Health Care Costs only go up, according to Village Documents on this blog, an average of 2% between 2000-06?

I know a number of the Ward Captains you refer to. You're right, they don't want their last names out there because of people like you and for fear of what might happen to them after seeing what Chris Slinker and Davis went through from the Greco/Jeskewitz Machine because those two guys uncovered a lot of this stuff.

Keep reading Padraig. You might actually learn something from this blog as I have over the last year. That's right, you apparently don't want to learn things because you want things to stay just the way they are and believe Menomonee Falls is this happy little town while your leaders continue to rob you blind.

Padraig

Lindsey Jean - I am open to constructive ideas to address all of the village's most important issues. I don't believe Jefferson Davis is a good source for those ideas. We can agree to disagree about that. As for Chris Slinker and Jefferson Davis - they caused their own problems. They both lack the integrity, honesty and leadership to serve in elective office. I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree about that as well. The ward captains???? The story is absurd. They are ficticious. Maybe one or two of them, of the dozens listed, were real. There is a lot that is make-believe in the world of Jefferson Davis.

RUSSWW

I would like to know if us taxpayers are still paying the wages of two city workers that was attached to our water bill a little while back. Mr. Davis is trying to keep our board honest, he doesn't have time to follow them around with a cancorder. Speech is still free.

Mister Commenter

To RUSSWW:
Read the sentence that you recently wrote. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Please explain "two city workers that was attached to our water bill a little while back".
What in heck are you trying to say?
Even if I correct your grammar, it still makes no sense.

Re"cancorder": He should ask for help from cable access. They have a bunch of them.
And, perhaps whatever you take will be broadcast for all to see.

Mister School

Wow, I have been reading the comments but not Jeff's blog. Much more original and thought provoking (RUSSWW notwithstanding).

lindsey jean

Gentlemen:

Mister Commenter - Do you have any ideas at all to help improve Menomonee Falls and lower costs for taxpayers or do you just hide in your Saul Alinsky clothes and take potshots at everyone who doesn't agree with you?

Padraig - Do you have DDS (Davis Derangement Syndrome) like the liberal democrats do with Fox News (FNDS) and did with George Bush (BDS)? Can you make any comments without bringing up Davis? How about making an intelligent comment about what your ideas are to make things better for Menomonee Falls?

Mister School - You must be twins with Mister Commenter judging your shallow and critical tone.

Falls Fan - Do you also suffer from DDS also? Do you have anything that you can say that might help address some of the issues presented on this blog?

Jim - If the documents linked to this posting are conspiracy theories in your mind, then why don't call Davis out and prove him wrong? Wouldn't that fit your pick your target, isolate it and freeze it tactic to avoid having to address the corruption going on in the Falls?

Come on gentlemen, can't you do better than your Saul Alinsky tactics?

Make a contribution with something intelligent that will address the issues in the Falls and get some help for your DDS condition.

Thanks Russ W for your comment. Don't let these bad boys try to intimidate you. Everyone knew what you meant with your question about high water and sewer bills.

RUSSWW

Are two (2) city workers (ie: Public workers, workers that repair our strees and roads) wages, their pay and benifits attached to our water and sewer bill? Instead of making fun of my grammer: answer the question for sure, as bizarre as you think it is. I'm sorry that, I'm not as intelligent as you think you are.
There is still a lot of hatred out there for Mr. Davis. Maybe the hatred should be let go, also. Mr. Davis was followed with camcorder and cameras when he was president but that was so long ago. Sarcasm bites back.

lindsey jean

Russ:

You go guy!

Free speech is alive and well!

America's founders would be proud!

Don't let these bullies get you down.

They've had their way for too long and we're suffering because of it.

Menomonee Falls is a great place to live, work and play in spite of the Saul Alinsky disciples and their tactics of intimidation and coercion.

Keep reading. It's good for the mind.

Your grammar is just fine Russ and you make more sense than the other guys who post a comment.

Mister Commenter

Russ:
You are poor speller as well.
But, why should we not pay the workers who install and maintain the pipes in our streets?

LJ: What the heck place does Saul Alinsky have in this blog anyway ?

RUSSWW

Why should we pay the workers who install and maintain the pipes in our streets with our water and sewer bill? When that new tax percent increase on water hits us, it also includes those wages. Keep throwing items into that tax bracket and we end up being tax for items we aren't even aware of. Trust but verify.

lindsey jean

Mister Commenter,

Saul Alinsky has a place in this blog because the tactics you and your bully friends use are right out his book, "Rules for Radicals", starting on page 125. As a matter of fact, I think your picture is on page 127 of the book. I'm sure you have a copy of it. If not, pick one up for $.99 and you will see yourself and your friends.

We're still waiting for you to make an intelligent statement or to have any ideas that might improve the mess in Menomonee Falls.

Do you have any ideas or will you just continue to spew hatred as Russ calls it?

We're waiting MC?

By the way, leave Russ alone. I know Russ. He is a good person and faces incredible challenges on a daily basis that most of us would wilt under if we had to deal with them every day. He's part of the solution and not part of the problem like you are.

Mister Commenter

LJ:
OK, no more about Russ. I don't know him and he might be a very nice person.
Now, I will ask a favor of you: Talk to Jeff and ask him to tell you just why he left the Recreation Department. Did it have anything to do with money? I have heard specific allegations. And, if you would, please post his answer here.

lindsey jean

MC -

Why don't you pick up the phone and call Mr. Davis yourself? I'm sure he's listed in the phone book.

Do you have the courage to do that or will you continue to hide behind your fictitious names?

We're still waiting for you to make an intelligent statement and to come up with some real ideas to better the Falls.

We're also waiting for you to comment on or disprove the things that are documented on these blogs or are you in the bag for your buddies on the Board? Or do you just wish to spew your hatred and small mindedness?

Let us guess, you have lived in the Falls all or most of your life and are just peachy keen with the way things are?

Please, we beg you to make intelligent statements and to come up with ideas and suggestions to clean up the mess that has been created by your buddies on the Village Board.

RUSSWW

Mister Commenter is this blog critique artist. This artist can dissect my sentences, correct my spelling, correct my grammer,and tell me when I need help. From reading his responsus, this talented artest sounds like a retired MPS school teacher that needs some papers to correct. Calm down, cooler heads can solve more problems because anger will not cloud our thinking. Peace.

Padraig

A great first step in improving Menomonee Falls would be to have Jefferson Davis move out of the village, or at least give up his dreams of political leadership. I don't mean that facetiously, I'm actually serious. Mr. Davis lacks credibility with the voting public in Menomonee Falls - both for documented reasons and for a long list of undocumented issues substantiated only by the stories people tell about what they've seen and heard themselves. If Jefferson Davis is considered the main voice of opposition to those currently in power, then rather than hurt those elected officials he is actually helping them. Mr. Davis's image is so tarnished that it is hard for Menomonee Falls citizens to see anyone he opposes as "the bad guys." It's also difficult for other respected third party observers to take Mr. Davis's side on any issue, for fear the public would believe they are siding with a man that is neither trusted nor respected.

lindsey jean

Padraig -

We're still waiting for you and MC to make intelligent statements for what your plans are to improve Menomonee Falls while you get professional help for your DDS condition.

Any ideas at all or will you and MC continue with your Rules for Radicals approach and spewing of hatred?

Show us your credibility with some concrete ideas and suggestions to lower taxes, improve health care, help businesses in the Falls, etc.?

We're waiting. At least Russ W has some intelligent questions about personnel. Do you?

Seriously, try to get some professional help for your DDS Condition and stick to the issues.

Padraig

Lindsey - there is no such thing as DDS and I hardly need professional help. Your attempts at humor notwithstandng, I am quite serious about my opinion of Jefferson Davis. I will not be sharing my ideas for the betterment of Menomonee Falls on Jefferson Davis's blog because this is not a place where ideas are taken seriously. I will, and do, share my ideas in more productive venues.

I bid you farewell and wish you a pleasant remainder to your summer. Neither of us is going to change our opinions and I've said my piece.

lindsey jean

Padraig -

Thank you.

I guess you don't have any constructive things to say to improve the Falls unless you rip Davis.

We were hoping you would at least have just one idea or suggestion, but you choose to do what all liberals do when they lose the debate and are bankrupt of anything constructive, they take potshots at people and then run away and hide.

Good luck and enjoy the rest of your summer as well.

Padraig

fiscal conservative, social liberal. If that makes me a liberal, ok.

Zorro

Jeff, aka, Mr. Conservative, aka “The Vanguard,” aka anonymous guest blogger on “The Vanguard” aka anonymous ward captains, aka Lindsey jean: You are all the same person. You are fooling nobody. Your infantile rants, accusations, and dwellings of the past, might give one the impression of a serious mental problem. Saul Alinski is Davis’ new theme that he stole from Hannity. Only Davis himself or some Squeeky Fromme-Manson devotee would parrot such babble. Davis proposes building a water waste treatment plant here to lower water and sewer costs: total lunacy. So, Lindsey jean Davis, my positive suggestion is to have you go pollute some other community with your spewing hatred, conspiracy Nazi tactics, and total ineptitude. We know your kind. You think you are so much smarter than everyone, when you are one or two full moons away from pushing a shopping cart down Mainstreet with all your belongings and howling about another conspiracy.
