Letter not applicable today
Tampa, FL— Florida GOP Chairman Carole Jean Jordan informed Congresswoman Katherine Harris this afternoon that a previous letter unethically leaked in today’s news is not applicable to current party beliefs. Further, Jordan stated that the Florida Republican Party does not officially endorse or take positions in a primary.
Representative Harris commented “this confidential letter was old news and Chairman Carole Jean Jordan has stated repeatedly this letter is not applicable today; further, Chairman Jordan said that she never expressed concerns about my campaign but rather the race overall against the incumbent. With a primary in process, the state chairman, the state committeeman and state committeewoman cannot endorse a candidate but all have stated their personal support for me.”
The Harris campaign continues to move forward while Representative Harris fights to preserve the sanctity of marriage and traditional values, to lower taxes, to help small businesses acquire lower costing healthcare and to ensure that illegal immigrants are not granted amnesty. Bill Nelson has voted against each of these ideals.
“It is high time for dirty politics and unethical leaks to be set aside so that the issues that impact people’s daily lives can be addressed,” continued Congresswoman Harris.

Now don't you go getting all squishy on us now. No one is denying your right to come here and advocate for the candidate of your choice. If you reread the posts that caused all this anxiety you'll find that nowhere on this thread has anyone trashed to Florida GOP although I'd like to.
Faced with this reality you are now telling us we need to look at other threads for the proof you said was so self evident on this very thread. For someone who wants us to believe that you only want to debate the facts, your facts sure got misplaced on this one.
"Post the exact statment you say I made that 'trashed the GOP in general' and provide the link to the post."
You know where it is , i'm not falling for your trap . I post it and you complain to the Mods that i'm breaking the rules. Nice try.
"BTW....he's a big boy and can respnd to me.....himself."
Oh I know he can , but I know where the misunderstanding arose from . I felt that instead of you calling him a liar, when he didn't lie, couldn't go unchallenged. I know how it goes when one opposes Harris around here .
Dynamic Duo: In the interest of fair disclosure, which of you are on the payroll for the McBride campaign, and which of you are volunteers for the campaign?
In all honesty I'm not on the payroll nore am I a volunteer.
Please. All you can tell me about McBride is he's a lifetime member of the NRA and that I should go to his website? If you call someone a conservative don't you think you should be able to back it up? I would think this is especially important for someone who's decided that he'd like to use the wealth he accumulated from suing people to become a senator in his first public service job. I just love it when folks here admonish KH for not waiting while she developed her political skills further before taking on such a challenge. Why doesn't that apply to McBride?
You said: and by calling someone a troll or calling someone a RINO who you do not even know makes you a lady huh
"Now don't you go getting all squishy on us now. No one is denying your right to come here and advocate for the candidate of your choice."
No, but there are certain tactics being employed to get me banned for not supporting Harris .
Check your facts . It was another thread that the party trashing had occurred . I've only stated that I won't post it on this thread , as I suspect I will get reported to the mods for breaking a rule, just as planned .
Fair enough. McBride is a personal injury attorney who is claiming to be an immigration lawyer. That's a bad start. I'm skeptical form this point forward about anything he says. I also doubt his ability to withstand the media scrutiny he'd be subjected to should he win. Why, with this in mind, should I wave the white flag on a proven conservative who stood up to a rabid media that few others could have survived?
You know where it is , i'm not falling for your trap . I post it and you complain to the Mods that i'm breaking the rules. Nice try.
There have been other threads where you have called people RINOs.
Not my facts. This was your assertion and it's irrelevant to this thread. Maybe you shouldn't say such things unless you're prepared to back it up. Besides, the claim was made that this was said on this thread by someone who did no such thing. Credibility killer - JMO.
Besides being a conservative stalwart in local GOP politics for years and a veteran of numerous Florida street-corner freeps, she's one of the most respected members of this august forum and the Florida Chapter forum, also. Her word is her bond. You must think we're a bunch of dumb hicks to buy into your uninformed insult directed at one of our most stalwart Freeper activists. Nice try, but no cigar.
It's a gas to watch you leech on to a Harris thread to try to sell your virtually unknown candidate, Kid McBride. As an immigration mouthpiece, the Kid has too close a connection with the open-borders crowd for my discriminating conservative taste.
The Kid rose suddenly from an obscure pile of ashes somewhere and is now being lipsticked up and packaged to sell to the voting public by the pro-immigration bunch and the RINOS as a mighty "conservative" phoenix who will be a fantastic senator.
Ring, ring.......no sale here, Mr. Fan.
The link on your profile page took me to your personal blog which also doubles as a campaign site for your promotion of Kid McBride along with for-profit commercials. Hmmmmm........tsk, tsk.
I have an idea. Why don't you start a McBride for Senate thread tomorrow instead of parasiting here? We could then have something like Duelling Banjos. The Cong. Harris threads with upbeat rhythms and positive chords versus the Kid McBride threads with looney tunes and mariachi music.
How about it?

At least USmcobra accurately described Katherine Harris as "a woman whose only did what the law called for during the 2000 election." Nice to hear the truth from Harris supporters. A few of them have been listening to the RAT talking points about Harris so long that they now actually believe she single-handily "intervined and delivered Florida to Bush and "without her, Gore would be president today."
I don't know why so many Harris supporters would want to drink the Dem kool-aide and undermine Bush's self-made victory in Florida, but hey, to each his own.
This is insane , read all the threads and posts if you will, before accusing me .
The argument was between Julie and FloridaBushfan . She called him a liar and I stepped into to say that he was referring to another thread , in which she was not to enthusiastic about the party. All was well when she dug up some kind of feel good statement issued by the RPF trying to " bury the hatchet " with Harris .
I guess now it's back to Fantasy Land because the letter was never meant to be seen by the public, and now everyone is happy like it never happened after this backtrack statement put out by RPF .</Sarc
I would argue that Bush won Texas for three reasons:
1) He was a Republican with name recognition.
2) He advocated lower taxes...and he wasn't a lawyer.
3) And most importantly...Ann Richards vetoed a conceal carry bill and then threw it back in our faces that she knew what was better for Texans than the voters. Anyone would have won that race against her after she did that.
I wonder when McBride became a member of the NRA...this year perhaps?
