Nuked[edit]

I've temporarily deleted this while I get other eyes to look at it and determine whether it's libellous. It does look like a bit of a hatchet job and certainly not worthy of Wikipedia in its present form. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:58, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Typical election season shennigans[edit]

Skip this article, and go to the official biography. He didn't announce he'd run in all those Maryland elections, and many wanted him to consider becoming a candidate, but he chose not to. This article attempts to portray Mr. Leopold as an indecisive political gadfly with it's slanted phrasing.

I'm not going to edit the article and turn it into a political football. Mr. Leopold published a perfectly good bio, and the facts support it.

(BTW, I live in Mr. Leopold's district, and used to live in his neighborhood. I know what he's done and not done, and thereby do not recommend citing the Wikipedia article)

This article is full of noncited information[edit]

I have snapshotted this page and am sending it to the person that is the subject of this biogrophy. Wikipedia should lock this article if this is going to continue to be an attack hatchet job on a living person.

A Republican by registration, Mr. Leopold is a liberal by most accounts. He is a good friend of State Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller (D-Calvert). State House Speaker Michael Busch (D-Anne Arundel) literally works for Leopold in the County Park and Recreation Department. As an avid support of slots, Mr Leopold has embarked on an effort to locate a slots warehouse at the Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD. He spends time a good deal of time working out of the backseat of his county issued car. He is also guilty of harrassing many women, particularly women that work for him.
