This witchhunt is outacontrol.


NOT surprising, think about the source; a "drive-by" L.S.M's daily "shootings!"
Daily they "drive-by" and "shoot at President Bush. Last week they have constantly been "shooting" at Donald Rumsfeld to be fired.
The L.S.M. and some DU or bill nelson moles here on the FReeper are doing the same with Kathrine Harris trying to filling their template, that she CANNOT win!!
Floridian, just relax. K.H. is going to overcome this barrage of lies and screwed poll numbers exact the same FINE way she overcome alGore's and the media's attempt to STEAL the election from President George W. Bush, and thereby saved US from having alGore being in the White House today and from there spewing out his global warming fallacies!!!

"where does that say I don't like her"

In the post you wrote. It sure didn't appear to me to be very upbeat.

In any case, Harris is what we have, and knowing her, I support her. It's a shame that this widespread, pessemistic lack of support is all the thanks Ms. Harris now seems to get; a sad showing for a lady who has stood fast in the face of extreme adversity and who has supported in the legislature many of the values her constituents hold dear.

[TheDon]

Agreed.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I truly don't really care. Actually I was most interested in the tab of $2,800 because the implication was that it was for two people.

Of course you can put together a configuration where $2,800 is spent. You can spend $2,800 at McDonalds if you're treating 350 people.

Harris does not need bad publicity

Nelson keeps wide lead over Harris in Senate contest [new Quinnipiac poll, April 20, 2006]

Nelson was favored by 56 percent compared to 27 percent who preferred Harris in the poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Harris hating, Bush hating Orlando Sentinel continuing to regurgitate the same old news.....

Rollins was hired by the RINO campaign of KT McFarland in NY after Harris fired him.

He's full of sour grapes so he's spouting his bile to the liberal media!

This is 'deja vu' of what was done to Bush in 2004 by the FL press. The GOP grassroots works overtime to offset these attacks and will GOTV for Harris!

[G.Mason]

This Ed Rollins?

[JulieRNR21]

I never saw him in person .....but as far as I know there is only one Ed Rollins working in political campaigns.

[JulieRNR21]

The other thing I can tell you is that the Harris Campaign is running much better since she got rid of those naysayers.

The staff is now upbeat, responsive & hard working!

There ain't much good in Citronelle, 'cept my family folks. I bet Michel Richard has never even been there.
For those in Rio Linda, Citronelle is a tiny dot on the map in Southern Bama north of Mobile.

Your right not a very positive post, but I really hope she gets it. If she can win this, Florida will all be about red. that is a good thing. I would hope Pennsylvania can say the same.

Thanks for explaining in the tiny type; I never would have understood what you meant.

All things aside, why be this dumb? Why not just pay for your own stupid meal?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

In that case they should have put

"paid for a meal that may have cost as much as $22,800"

but that would have been less believable by the general public. But I agree with you. This is a non story for the purpose of bashing another GOPer and people will jump on the bandwagon because it's chic right now.

[G.Mason]

You never saw him in person?

Okay, how about ...

Edward J. Rollins, the high-priced political consultant that brought Texan H. Ross Perot to prominence in the 1992 presidential election.

... is this the guy? And why is no one interested in connecting the dots to this scumbag? (Who, BTW, has been recently showing his face on Fox.)

[numberonepal]

Are you in Rio Linda? ;-)

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And it may have cost $5 since the article reads "paid for a meal that may have cost as much as $2,800 "

[PBRSTREETGANG]

And it may have cost $5...

At Citronelle? It may have cost less than $2,800, but it HAD to cost more than $5.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Maybe they each had a bottled water and then left. :)

[JulieRNR21]

I had no idea he was connected to Perot.

This is probably why she hired him:

Rollins, President Ronald Reagan's former campaign manager, was Harris' senior adviser on her campaign against Nelson.

Why any GOP candidate would ever trust him again is beyond me to comprehend!
