Ok, FR is a conservative site, but do you have to put out of control spin in the breaking news section ?

Can't we have more of the undulterated truth ? Isn't that a conservative value also.

[ConservativeMan55]

huh

[devane617]

This is a VERY confusing post. What is the message you are trying to portray?

[Gene Eric]

>> Ok, FR is a conservative site, but do you have to put out of control spin in the breaking news section ?

Who are you addressing?

[neodad]

Are you logged in?

[devane617]

Glad I’m not the only one that is having a problem with the confusing mess.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

You’re an idiot.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Not sure as to why you feel the need to post this “spin,” other than to attempt to demoralize everyone, but those numbers are ten days old. Hoffman has pretty much turned the tables this past week.

[Al B.]

Here's some truth: Hoffman has raised $400,000 since this report was filed....$210K in the week after this report was filed, $30K on Wednesday of this week, and $116K in the day after the Palin endorsement.

The only cash-starved candidate is Newt's girl Deirdre.

[Gene Eric]

We’ve got the Who, What, and Where covered. Someone needs to ask Why.

“Who are you addressing”

“What is the message you are trying to portray?”

“Are you logged in?”

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I answered the ‘why’ question in post number 7.

[McGruff]

Let me guess. You’re not one of us are you?

[staytrue]

I’m sick of tired of spin.

Truth is, Dede and Hoffman will split the vote and a well funded democrat Owens will likely win.

Yes, Hoff probably took in enough to pay off his debt and that’s about it.

[festusbanjo]

I’ve seen Dierdre. Cash might be the only thing that she is starved from.

[staytrue]

Fact is, neither of these articles belong in breaking news.

And the editorializing in the title certainly is not breaking news.

[Spunky]

I think he/she is refering to the other breaking news link of this article where they tout that Hoffman is ahead of Scavazzo in money without addressing the Dem is ahead of the two of them.

Staytrue, we really don't care how much the Demo has. Money doesn't always buy an election.

[Repeal The 17th]

Put down the brandy bottle and slowly back away from the keyboard.

[Right Wing Assault]

Those numbers are through 10/14, which is ten days ago.

[redk]

So this is how Olympia Snowe spends her Saturday nights.

[devane617]

I get it now...You are one of those that believes “any” Republican, without regard to record or platform, is a win. Right? If that is the case, those days are OVER!!!!! NO MORE RINOS ALLOWED!

[grey_whiskers]

The question is, who in the FEC was told to put out this news now?

It LOOKS demoralizing, until you see that all of the numbers are as of 10/14/2009 -- you know, *BEFORE* Sarah's endorsement of Hoff.

Stupid Pig-fornicators /LBJ paraphrase>

Cheers!

[perfect_rovian_storm]

All in favor of electing staytrue as a moderator, say ‘aye’!

***Crickets***

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Truth is, Dede and Hoffman will split the vote and a well funded democrat Owens will likely win.

So be it then! At least the GOP bosses will not get the satisfaction over another RINO win.

[Krodg]

a different spin doctor

Yes you are.

[vaudine]

Looks like someone is confusing Hoffman's debt with NY state debt. Could he really owe over 200 billion>

What a stupid , confusing post.

vaudine

[SoCalPol]

Doug Hoffman is a Republican
He stated again on Neil Cavuto He is a Conservative Reagan Republican
He will caucus with the Republicans.

Hoffman is backed by Republicans, Steve Forbes, Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, Rick Sanorum, Michele Backmann, Weekly Standard, National Review

[GLDNGUN]

I predict this idiotic post will be gone before you can say “WHA HAPPENED???”

[A.A. Cunningham]

Finally some sanity on this thread.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Yep. it's just a whole lot better if we just go along to get along. Doesn't matter that it leads us to candidates like McCain and Scozzafava. It's the 'r' that's important cos that's the most important part, right? Nothing else is really important.

I'm going to run scared again because I haven't figured out that doing ths same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. I'm going to keep on supporting the Scozzafava's, McCains, Snowes, etc. because that's sane thinking and it's how we're going to win our country back.

[presently no screen name]

Call for DeDe to step down!

[devane617]

See my reply #20 to this mess of a post. Ditto...

[cc2k]

Don’t panic!!

Those figures from the FEC.gov site are through October 14, 2009.

A lot has happened since that time:

• The RCCC went all in with Scozzafava, over $100,000 from the RCCC to her campaign. That isn’t show on the FEC page.
• Hoffman has had a lot of online donations from idividuals. In the seven day period from 10-15 to 10-21, he received about $210,000 from his website alone.
• Hoffman has been collecting even more since Palin endorsed him. The figure I heard for Friday was $116,000+, but I don’t know if that included SarahPAC funds. Even if it did, that is a huge day.
• Obama held a fundraiser for Bill Owens, and the Democrats have been raking in the $$$ from everywhere for this race.

Has everyone seen this: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today.”

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

• Pro choice
• In favor of gay marriage
• In favor of Employee Free Choice Act (and has said she would co-sponsor Card Check legislation)
• In favor of the Stimulus
• In favor of Bank Bailouts

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

[4rcane]

guys, have you noticed its the democrats who have all the money these days. So many rich democrats who don’t pay taxes.

Soros, Steve Jobs, Gates, Warren Buffet all democrats.

[PhiKapMom]

FEC doesn’t put out news — you have to go to the site to find the figures.

[Freddd]

Propaganda?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Thailand?

[Sally'sConcerns]

I saw your post 20 right before I hit the post button. So, yes, ditto.

cc2k

I'm not panicking. I'm exasperated!

[Krodg]

I don’t remember asking to be on your ping list. How did this happen?

[4rcane]

personally I not surprised. Democrats are the party of the rich ppl. They live in the blue states, Hollywood and Wall Street

[ICCtheWay]

Then Scozzafava needs to be told to DROP OUT as she is the spoiler in the race...

[downwdims]

Hrm. I'll go with this

[Sally'sConcerns]

I don’t remember asking to be on your ping list. How did this happen?

Probably the same way I got on it. I posted on this thread.

[grey_whiskers]

Thanks for the clarification: I was misled by the title posted for the thread.

Cheers!

[deport]

[Krodg]

If you post on a thread, you get added to a ping list? That sounds like something Obama would do.

[Born Conservative]

Is that you, Arlen?

[Sally'sConcerns]

If you post on a thread, you get added to a ping list? That sounds like something Obama would do.

Not really. Now, if I get pinged again I'll ask for clarification of exactly where I requested being added to cc2k's ping list.

[PhiKapMom]

I must admit I have not been following it hardly at all. How do you take in $786,200 and spend $451,462 and still not be in the race. Makes no sense. Looks like two of them dropped out since the reporting is only through 9/30 for two of them. Wonder if the Dems got him to drop out?
