Did Rudjard Hayes use ethnic slur? and his work ethic in question...

Did Rudjard Hayes use the N word while talking with a Griffin Police officer about two years ago? Someone who should know told me this yesterday. They also said he never was in the DA's office when officers would come to discuss a case. The secretaries in the office never knew where he was. Interesting...

I hope voters are smart enough to look at facts, conviction rates, and career records rather than gossip heard third party. It's so easy to case doubt on someone by tossing out "guess what I heard" comments. I have to say I have done my homework and reviewed the candidates side by side and hands down Rudjard Hayes will be the tougher district attorney, based on his incredible conviction rate. That might mean a little more work for the current staff who might want to keep things just the way they are, but it is their job to keep our community safe from criminals and predators, so I want the toughest prosector on the job. The only way to ensure that is by comparing their records and listening to what they are committed to and empassioned about. Disregard innuendos and make your decision based on these things. Only then can we be sure that our community is getting the most qualified candidate as our next district attorney.

Do people really vote based on which candidate can trash his or her opponent the most? Or do voters prefer to look at the substantiated facts and vote with some basis of intelligence?

I have nothing against either Scott Ballard or Rudjard Hayes for District Attorney. I have been to Mr. Ballard’s office and was treated nicely by his staff. I have never met him or received any personal campaign literature for him.

I did not know Mr. Hayes but received campaign literature with phone number, inviting me to contact him. I read Mr. Hayes literature and various news ads. Mr. Hayes presented comparisons with his opponent giving references to facts and case numbers. I appreciate a candidate who does not make wild accusations about his opponent but backs up important facts relating to the office he seeks.

I called Mr. Hayes and met with him personally. I liked his philosophy, friendly personality and experience and have decided to vote for him. This not to say Mr. Ballard is not a good D.A., or that I would be displeased if he were re-elected.

I certainly would not trash Mr. Ballard and am suspicious of those who trash either candidate. I definitely don’t want a D.A. whose supporters win the trashing contest. If I were a candidate, then I would ask my supporters to stop all this juvenile nonsense. And that goes for all candidates.

I want a D.A. who will listen to me if I come to his office with a serious matter and not give me the run around. Whoever wins, I want a PUBLIC DEFENDER.

Your N stink strategy doesn't work anymore. Now go pick some cotton.

Don't care, Rudyard is waaaaayyyy ahead of Ballard. Give it up, it's a lost battle for scotty supporters.

I'm not even one of his supporters - but wanted to clear that up!

The Ballard Beer Coozie was funny. I did not realize that Ballard used state funds for that until Rudjard Hayes' mail piece. That is unbelievable. So I pulled it out of the cabinet-- yup, Crime Victim's Assistance fund. For Beer Coozies. Wow...And Ballard calls himself a Republican?

We knew it would only be a matter of time before you signed up with your newest moniker (6 hours 35 minutes) after shamelessly getting banned for being an idiot. Welcome back Gitgone, Grifguy, DishonestGuy4Balllard!

Your filthy accusations are about as credible as the postcard that is floating around accusing your candidate, Mr. Softy, of having an intimate affair with some yahoo who is presumably not a female. Unlike the classless bum you are, the rest of us so-called slanderous bloggers have not even touched that one.

Time for you to slither back into your hole you useless hack. I can't believe your mommy wasted all that money putting you through law school. Most of the folks I know would want a competent attorney to represent them. Wanna out me again? Evil

VOTE RUDJARD HAYES

Git,
If they "out" you again, I wonder who you'll be next time.
Remember when Denise "outed" me as Judith Moore? I'm not even a Democrat. LOL

SusieQ... You ole Democrat. Eye-wink

Anything I blog about is based on truth or a concern to get to the truth. I am not worried about being outed. Those that don't like me now in real life can stop pretending to my face like they do. Most of these characters pretend to be your best friends only because they're seeking office or they want to use you to benefit their pet agendas. In real life they don't give a rip. Kind of like when you go to Alan Vigil Ford and the clown comes out acting like he's your instant best friend. The first thing I always tell them is to stick to business and quit asking me about my family life.

There are many, many, of the bloggers who already know who I am. Yeah, I'd rather remain Git... but in the end.... I'm going to fight for truth, justice and the American Way! LOL! Smiling

I definitely agree with Fay79isus. Lousy effort to smear Hayes. Nonetheless, let's do a reality check on Ballard's work ethic. Gives character witness on behalf of a holy roller who is a convicted child molester...takes money from his family for his campaign...gives probation to internet child pornography predators..wow this guy's work ethics are certainly to be admired. As a parent I sure as heck do not feel secure with having him watch my children's back, and I am very sure many parents feel the same way.

District Attorney and Racial Slur? That's hilarious, GrifGuy....Well, DishonestGuy4Ballard is back, reincarnated after his latest ban.

Bad move, GrifGuy. Let's see. Where has Scott Ballard been hanging out and dining for the last 50 years? How about Melear's, home of the Kenny Koffee Klatch, the home of bountiful and gratuitous racial slurs. By trashing Hayes from inside your glass house, this is what alcoholics call "projection".
