I am running against a guy who stole stuff from little kids. mention it?

[More Than A Feeling]

I am running to be hall representative to my college's student government. I have it on good authority that last year, one of my opponents was kicked off campus for breaking into a middle school and stealing av equipment.

This is important because the highest vote getter gets to decide how to spend $200. Should we really trust a guy who stole stuff from little kids?

On the other hand, for such a small election, do I really want to play that rough? I can't decide.

So, my question is: Should I publicize the fact that this guy is a thief?

1. Have someone else get the word out.

As they say on "Muppets Take Manhattan", start a whispering campaign!

[nickgutierrez]

6. Yeah, this is the way to go

I wouldn't take this line myself, but I would probably get somebody to alert the media about this.

2. Make sure you have your facts nailed down and go with it.

3. There was a guy who did this and it made the papers

This guy stole computers and sold them on E-Bay abd git caught.

If you have proof, go with it, this is a character and trust issue.

4. If you have the *proof* BURY HIM!

[Lilyhoney]

5. Please have facts before you damage someones name. nt

7. I have the proof, found a newspaper article on google.

8. BURY HIM!!

9. I would go to him with a copy of the article and give him a

chance to drop out first. Let him know you intend to publicize this as a character issue if he doesn't. That way he can keep face if he doesn't want people to know.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

10. Good idea.

[Book Lover]

11. Hearsay does not equal fact

You have no facts, so no, keep it to yourself.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. I think you might be able to look up the information at a county or

city office too.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

13. remember that one time you did that thing you regretted?

somebody will, even if you don't, if you stoop to this level. Just out argue, out-think, and out-campaign.

[Rising Phoenix]

14. good point

[crispini]

15. Yeah, but this was LAST YEAR.

Not a long-ago pecadillo. I'd seriously consider using it, one way or another.
