Yes, it would be interesting to hear his responses to many of these items. The questions do need to be asked. |

Yes. However, I would think that he probably offered some sort of public explanation at the time, and somebody that wants to see him elected as badly as I expect you do would go find it and post it as at least his alternative explanation. It would be great if he would come here and address the accusations directly himself, but short of that there is some sort of responsibility by those that are working to see him elected to represent him. I am NOT trying to put some kind of burden on you or push you into a role you may not want, but simply trying to explain why I personally might expect there to be some kind of evidential answer to these accusations by his supporters here. Cool? |

Kirksey was never a registered Democrat and for that matter a democrat at all. Kirksey served the remainder of Geake's term and was elected to three two year terms. These terms were served in full. Do the math, Geake was elected to the State House of Representatives in 1976, moved onto Senate in 1977 which left his seat vacated. Jack served the remainder of Geake's term (1977/78) and served in full his three two year terms. Jack only had 19 years of service to LPS which would make him ineligible for a full pension. He returned to finish serving out his years of service to LPS. I think I have shown enough that the original piece is untruthful. |

Correct. Just the tone of the original piece invites skepticism, and without a shred of supporting evidence this voter is considering it nonsense. (Doesn't mean I'm voting for Kirksey, though.) |

Well, if it came from a former colleague of his, none of the others mentioned in the post have jumped on the defense, and no real proof has been offered to dispute it, as well as knowing a bit of history myself, I am leaning towards the poster and not the defender. |

Well, if it came from a colleague of Jack's, then I'm convinced I'm sorry Renee Rancher, oh wait, I mean Renee Chesney, I'm still not liking Jack's politics, past, present and future.It is a great country when you can vote for whom ever you see fit. It should be an exciting election. |

From the Political Graveyard: Geake, R. Robert (b. 1936) — of Northville, Wayne County, Mich. Born in Detroit, Wayne County, Mich., October 26, 1936. Republican. Educational psychologist; candidate for Michigan state board of education, 1970; member of Michigan state house of representatives 35th District, 1973-77; defeated in primary, 1964; resigned 1977; member of Michigan state senate, 1977-98 (14th District 1977-82, 6th District 1983-94, 9th District 1995-98); candidate for U.S. Representative from Michigan 13th District, 1992. Presbyterian. Member, Rotary. Still living as of 1998. Geake, Robert See R. Robert Geake Kirksey If you look at Jack's bio, it shows that Jack began his representative service in 1977 when Geake resigned. As well as when Jack began his service with LPS. I think we can all do the math. Jack was elected to serve the remainder of Geake's term and elected to three two year terms which were fully served. The only resigning going on was by Geake. |

Well we all know that Bennett has it out for Jack. Which is shame because they were "friends" for such a long time. You should ask him about going from Republican to Democrat. Cause he is the flip flopper and my source is just as reliable as yours. |

So you are assuming the source? - that's nice, but not necessarily true. |

I am a gambling kinda gal and I'm thinking I have the next best thing to a sure bet on that assumption. Never will be able to prove it, but don't need to. You guys have been slapped in the face with the truth and you refuse to acknowledge it. It just shows the constituency that nothing that comes from this blog can be considered as factual. |

o.k. I clicked on the 'kirksey' link that you provided. That link went to a website called "Strategic Public Affairs", and Kirksey is listed on the left as one of their consultants. Click on his name and it goes nowhere..... his name just disappears. There is no bio there........ what did you mean to show us? The facts are of interest. Documented information from his past......?

You are so far off the source it's not worth the efforts to correct you. |

This "proves" absolutely nothing. Quite frankly, I don't care whether he's a democrat or a republican. The man has no integrity, never has, never will. |

'We all' don't know that to be true. I'd say that sounds like paranoia at it's finest. Or yet another assumption on your part, Renee. Or did Kirksey come right out and make that statement? Perhaps it's the age thing talking............ |
