re: Is Eddie Rispones campaign for real?

Rispone needs to start speaking to relevant issues. I don't know where he stands on anything state specific. Pro Trump tells me little.
Abraham needs to get on the ball and spend some money. I have more confidence in him, as he has a record, and I know his stances.
Yes and yes.
If Rispone’s team is on the ball, after these introductory commercials, they should outline differences in what Rispone would do compared to what Edwards has done.
And Abraham is apparently tight for money. He needs to get in the game.
He still has time.
Do you find it strange that Edwards has to reintroduce himself (brother of a sheriff, son of a sheriff, grandson of s sheriff, etc.) and then use his wife to say he’s pro education?
He must have internal polling numbers that say freeing all those prisoners has hurt him, and he fears he will be attacked for La. being at the bottom in education ratings.
He’s the incumbent, right?

That is a pretty big issue. If he is saying round em up and ship em out, as he is providing their livelihood, how can he maintain any credibility?
If his company is using e verify, and is following the law; exactly what should Rispone do?
He’s on the record against illegal immigration, he’s following the law, and on the flip side, what is JBE doing?

The way our federal system is set up, compliance can be challenging. If he's taking all the proper steps (running I-9s through E-verify, asking his subs to attest as to compliance, etc) then even if he was burned, he would probably be ok.
Now, if he's not taking those steps, and it's shown he is directly employing more than a couple, then he's done.

Was it you or someone else that said Boysie is his money man? If that's true, Boysie can find the money, unless Abraham is really struggling to connect.

You are correct. Rispone and Abraham need to hit JBE. JBE has the movie people making sure he gets the most polished TV commercials and his message is clear "Am I am an OK guy with a family even though I am a democrat".
Somebody should loan the state republican party some money and let them hit JBE. I'd hit him on being a democrat and since he brought it up on the controversies surrounding his brother the Sheriff. 100 FBI agents descended on his office in 2017 and one of his closest friends and former DEA agent is going to trial in August and October for dealing drugs. Lots of crap around Daniel the republicans should bring out. He will still get elected sheriff because no one will run against the huge pockets he has thanks to his brothers "pay to play" fund raisers targeting DOTD vendors. (He raised over $700K I am told at a fund raiser in Manchac from DOTD vendors---why do asphalt vendors in Monroe care who the sheriff of Tangipahoa parish is?)
Rispone needs an issue people will talk about. I suggest promising to remove the remains of Huey Long and his statue from the grounds of the capital. That would get talk and buzz going.

quote:I agree with you. My wife is a straight A student thru college. She can remember everything ever taught to her since first grade. But she can't do math in her head over simple functions.
Look, I'm an educated person and there have been some homework assignments that my kids bring home, and my first response is "Huh??". But then I spend 5 minutes on the internet, figure out what the assignment is / what the model is / what the method is, and then I explain it to my kids, they are good, and I've learned something.
She spends a ton of time on the internet and youtube figuring out the assignments and teaches the kids, I do as well but she carries the largest load. So while she does figure it out and 'appears' to see the light she will get in a group of women and some men and they will begin talking about how they universally hate the new methods. They will talk about wanting to do it the old way. When I. mention to them that none of them can do very simple math they act as if I am the devil.
If a politician talks about getting rid of common core or Eureka he will have a ton of support.

It wasn’t me, but there’s time.
However Rispone appears to have taken full advantage of the political vacuum on the right and is pushing hard to get his name out there.

Anybody that wants to continue our current or our former government school system is foolish.
They are the most organized whiners out there but at the end of the day they want $$$ and no accountability.

So what is Edwards doing to get us off the bottom? Throwing a thousand dollars a year at each teacher isn’t doing anything.
The truth is Edwards threw the teachers a bone, but he hasn’t done a thing to upset the teacher’s Union, or to reform education. He is giving education lip service.

We have a system set up that is supposed to support a limited, representative government,
Limited government doesn't mean the same as no government, which is what it seems like you and some others are asking for.
Let me ask you clearly: Do you support the idea of public schools?
If no, then you and IB are hopeless and can't be taken seriously.
If you do, then you should want the best schools possible. And while Jindal et al screwed a lot of stuff up, the school reforms he put in ARE working. Slowly, our schools are improving. Look at Jefferson Parish and the booming magnet schools there, for example.

These are not ideals of a true conservative and I’m telling you that there are tea party groups who are aware of Mr Rispone’s true interests
FACT: You tea party people have done more to allow Democrats in office than anything the Democrats have done themselves. You people need to understand that while an 80% conservative isn't as good as a 100% one, it's a lot better than a damn liberal.
Assuming Rispone hasn't been caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl (or hookers), saying you might not vote for him over JBE exposes you as a fraud.

The people who want $$$ and no accountability are those who are pushing for more vouchers. Isn't that you, IB?

You cannot look at what our standards were 15 years ago (when we had local control of them) and think that they are in any way acceptable.
Perhaps if we get better people on BESE, on school boards, and in school administration, we can try again. We are a long way off from that.

Neither Republican will come close to JBE. Not because JBE deserves to win, but the Republicans have terrible candidates running. JBE would be toast if he was running against a competent opponent

Time will tell, but it’s way too early to blow off Abraham and Rispone. JBE supporters want you to believe they have no chance; thus hurting their fundraising efforts and later voter turnout.
It’s up to the challengers now to demonstrate their worth.

Rispone is an education champion. He stands for school choice and every where school choice is available families are lined up to make those choices.
He has spent his personal time and money to help the Louisiana Federation for Children---a great organization that advocates for putting families ahead of educational bureaucrats.
Now your immature resentment of his self made wealth is embarrassing. I would rather have someone sacrificing their own wealth for the betterment of education than to continue to have to depend on politicians and bureaucrats that spend tax payer funds to advocate for "education" when they only mean more teacher pay.
Teachers should embrace school choice and vouchers because millions more would be available for teacher pay that now goes down a bureaucratic hole.

No---there is no better vehicle of accountability than the success or failures of private enterprises.
Which government school have you ever advocated closing because of poor performance?? Charters fail and close every year and are not there to screw up students for years like government schools are.
The education bureaucracy cannot stand the popularity of the 100% choice system in Orleans Parish. Families are on waiting list for vouchers. They want them.
I don't think anybody ever added their name to a list waiting on a bureaucrat to draw a line on a map dictating where government funded education would be available for their family.
