Perhaps agentle reminder would help.
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs, and comes short again and again (but)....who knows the great enthusiasms, the great emotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt (1910)
I actually don't think all Republicans need to support her just because she has thrown her hat into the ring, She now has primary opponents. That's good for the party and it will give her more visibiity, too. I support her and have donated to her campaign, btw.
My objection to Nelson is that he votes the DNC line, and I think that is reflected in the comments Harris cites from other Florida reps. He does not represent Florida imho.
I'll take the laryngitis over active attempts to sabotage her campaign.
Dubya welcomed her aboard Air Force One. But if he becomes too involved in her campaign, it could potentially backfire. If she can close the gap and make this race competitive, I think you'll see Dubya campaign for her in some manner after Labor Day.
As Claire accurately points out, KH hasn't even won the primary yet. My above comment should have addressed that.
Amen, Bigun, KH and anybody else with the FairTax message.
One presidential candidate, republican John Cox, supports the fairtax. He's also pro-life and supports penalties for illegal immigrants. He's campaigned in all 99 Iowa counties and 40 of 46 South Carolina counties. If you want to read more about him, please check his site, www.cox2008.com.
" She now has primary opponents."
I know that she has at least one Primary opponent but, forgive my ignorance, I don't know who it is. Can you help me out here?
Yeah. He won't let anybody quote his words because they describe him quite approproiately. He, along with most other creepy Yank liberals, have been in the much ado about nothing arena for far too long. They're just a bunch of slimey little Carpetbaggers...
"Harris, the Republican who represents Florida’s 13th District, spoke at a Lincoln Day dinner held by the Putnam County Republican Executive Committee on Saturday night, saying House Democrats have told her they want her to beat incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in their race for the U.S. Senate this November."
He must be a real piece a work for the Dems. to want him outta there. When his own party carps about him, it's because he's deliberately, such a reckless little thing...
That alone should be enough to get her elected if she hammers on it enough.Funny, I don't see her on the list of current FairTax cosponsors. You don't think she would claim to support the FairTax just to rustle up a few more votes, do you?
I think some Reps are having a little fun at Harris' expense. Kind of mean, really.
McBride (not the one in 2002) is her main opponent. The other two are Democrats running as Republicans.
Yes. It is mean. However, many a truth were said in jest. And I'm sure Harris knows how to weed out the meanness...
You know, for once you have made a legitimate point and I thank you. Perhaps someone close to her campaign ought to point that discrepancy out to her.
Hold your horses - it beter to do that AFTER you're elected rather than before.
But I thought you knew that.
Hold your horses - it beter to do that AFTER you're elected rather than before.She's currently in the House.
