Request for Katharine Harris Vanity (anyone want to start a live thread?)

The Daily Bugle | 9/3/02 | Section9

[section9]

I'm given to understand that the Leon County District Court is to hand down a ruling today on Hill's petition that Katherine Harris be thrown off the ballot.

Would any Sarasota or Tallahassee Freepers be so kind as to give us the birdseye lowdown on the decision, if any, today, and when it might come down? Harris' race is crucial to helping maintain control of the House and, in addition, would provide a measure of revenge against the Democrats who attempted to destroy her person.

Thank you in advance for any assistance in this regard.

Heads up on a possible ruling today regarding Katherine Harris.

Katherine Harris received so much derision for her appearance during the disputed election...I was pleased and surprised at her looks recently for a televised interview. She's toned down her makeup and has lighter streaks in her medium brown hair. Before, everything was exaggerated; now, she looks classier.

One thing stands out. Why did she spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (tax payer money) on several trips to the Bahamas? She said it was to promote Florida tourism. Now how many Bahamians do you know come to Florida? What they don't have enough sun, sand and surf over there.

What to say to this inanity?

I work at a home improvement center here in Fort Lauderdale.

I sell tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise to Bahamian citizens every year. My store does hundreds of thousands of dollars in business with Bahamian nationals every year. Including the tourists. They have family over here. They come here to visit. Is that so hard to understand?

If you are Bahamian, you want to do business in South Florida and Florida in general as much as humanly possible.

I know what you are implying: that Harris is personally corrupt. But in your statement lies the answer to your charge: why would Katharine Harris, multimillion dollar heiress to a the fortune of an old citrus tycoon, need to skim money from the state for her personal expenses?

She didn't, did she? And I think both of us know that.

Head band....or Hed banned?

Hey, C....just moved to FL, so now I am even more interested in her candidacy. Can you tell me what the petition is supposedly based on?

There is nothing in the law that allows a court to throw Harris off the ballot. Katherine Harris is now in compliance with the law. This suit has no merit.

DISRUPTOR ALERT

[Long Cut]

Watch out, Chris, Tuco-bad will have a meltdown if he sees this thread. He positively despises Harris (among other things Floridian and all things conservative).

are you kidding? this is the only place most bahamians come? i lived in the bahamas for a couple years on my family's sailboat, and when they say they are "going to the mainland man" they mean they are coming to florida. its a very different surf and sun here as it is there, are you saying bahamians wouldn't like to go anywhere but there? would you not get sick of it? in the summer it is hotter then heck down there, well beyond the florida that ive lived in for 15 years. The bahamas and florida have shared tourism advertising for years (ads for bahamas here and ads for florida there). So, though you are trying to make a valid point, its not valid. Maybe you should do a bit more research, no offense intended.

Let's get some perspective here folks. First, if Hill wins we still have the seat, helping to maintain the majority in the house. He may not be the perfect candidate, but he is one of us and we should stop this cannibalization. Second, I did some research and this suit does have merit whether we like it or not. Please reference Florida statute Section 99.012(6) which states that a Circuit Court of the State of Florida has the authority to order the removal from the ballot of the name of a candidate for public office who does not comply with Florida’s public official resignation requirements. Harris should have resigned as required and if she wins this suit as the former Secretary of State it is because of good luck and nothing else. Do one of you think that with this kind of a gun in their pocket the RATS weren't just waiting until after the primary when there would have been no Republican on the ballot. Get with it, if Hill wins it is not the end of the world.
