For the first time, Johnson County Commissioner John Toplikar admitted today that he took his opponent’s campaign signs and said he shouldn’t have done it.
Toplikar made the comments at the county offices in Olathe after a retired sheriff’s deputy, who witnessed the Saturday incident, disputed the version of events that Toplikar gave to the media on Wednesday.
The deputy, who’s backing Toplikar’s opponent Calvin Hayden, was in a van with Hayden’s wife and another campaign worker, who caught Toplikar on videotape with the signs.
On Wednesday, an unrepentant Toplikar said he was merely trying to help Hayden when he pulled up the signs.

What a loser. I hope voters don't reward this idiot with an election victory. This kind of immature behavior deserves to be voted down.

It's apparent that the words from this man cannot be trusted. I hope the electorate takes that into account.

He finally told the truth? Well, he just lost my vote....

But his supporters will say that he came completely clean and deserves a second chance!!
sarcasm ends here.
Please JoCo, do NOT vote for electing judges unless you want Phil Kline to be one of your judges. That is the whole purpose behind the vote.

Or if you think you have enough money to buy one's favor.
You sure don't want to be the plaintiff when the defendant contributed greatly to an elected judge's campaign. (Or vice-versa)

If that votes passed, makes me unbelievably happy I don't live in JoCo.
They specifically want this past so Kline can be elected and take EVERY case AGAINST Planned Parenthood. You think the garbage cases against them were bad, what to see what happens if this passes.
