(Judge Wil) Schroder for Justice has hired Ray Stewart and the Frankfort-based Stewart Media Group to do their campaign ads this fall. Stewart has a pretty slimy reputation, especially since 2002 when he ran a campaign ad which purportedly depicted the opposition candidate in a trailer preparing to have sex with a man who was not her husband. This from the Lexington Herald-Leader:

The ad, which Emmons called a fabrication, did not mention adultery. But it showed a sitting woman removing clothing as a man moved toward her. "It shows just how little she values her reputation and wedding vows," said the ad, which was prepared by Frankfort political consultant Ray Stewart.

This also from the Herald-Leader:

In it, May introduces what he says is "an X-rated video" that he says shows Hancock. The woman in the tape is sitting on a small bed, beginning to remove her pants.

May says in the ad that the tape "shows just how little she values her reputation and wedding vows."

Stewart, May's consultant, offered a deal yesterday. He said his campaign would drop the sex tape ad if Hancock's campaign dropped the ad about May's brushes with the law. Emmons said that might not happen.

Apparently, Stewart was "fighting fire with fire." His client had been arrested for one reason or another 56 times over the previous eleven years and the adulterous sinning cheater-woman in the video told the public about it. His response was to lie and then say that he wasn't going to stop lying until the sinner woman stopped telling the truth. I wonder what Stewart would have done if the woman had mentioned that 40 of the 56 charges upon which his client had been arrested were later amended down. My bet is he would have ran the exact same ad.

This says a lot about Schroder. He has this "anything to win" attitude. He will do whatever he has to do to win that seat because he is obsessed with power and has no morals. A decent candidate would not take free service from Stewart. Apparently, some Republicans have hired the guy just so their opponents can't. Whether or not that's true, we may never know, but I hope that we can run a state in which people who do the right thing win the elections. Call it pie in the sky, but Marcus Carey is doing the right thing and he would make a superb Kentucky Supreme Court Justice.

One reason I know this is because when Marcus Carey saw Wil Schroder out in public last week he tried to shake his hand. That is a common enough courtesy to extend to your opponent in a civil democratic election. Judge Schroder wasn't even gentlemanly enough to shake hands with Carey. He turned his back on him and muttered something under his breath. Schroder is acting as if he is offended that someone has the audacity to run against him in this election. It's a typical liberal attitude. They think they are entitled to power because they are just such good and caring people. They think it is their birthright. It is like John Kerry going to the front of the line and saying, "Do you know who I am?"

Schroder is having a hard time hiding his true self. Marcus Carey is looking more and more like not only a better man, but a more reasonable man who is more fit to be Justice. Schroder will do what is popular, not what is right as laid out by the law. He is too weak to be Justice. He is too concerned with being liked. He is too obsessed with power, and too in love with himself. The humble Marcus Carey is the one who will set the laws of Kentucky above himself, his ego, what is popular, and all else.

Democrats. Constantly relying on the media to do their dirty work. They've done it ever since there were only three television stations. Once people gained the options of who to listen to and whether or not to listen to all sides, conservatives started winning. Don't put all your eggs in one blog, people.
