Katherine Harris encourages people of all faiths to engage in government

Katherine Harris Campaign Press Release ^ | August 26, 2006 | Harris for Senate campaign

[highball]

I earned the right to speak my mind along time ago...

Of course you do. But when you say things like "I could care less about all this Katherine Harris messed up threads" you don't exactly invite production conversation - it's dismissive of the equally valid points of others.

You do not even know her to comment on her stability...Your depending on the liberal media to define her for you

I don't need to know her - those who know her best, those who work with her on her campaign, have defined her. They're leaving in droves. That's not a healthy campaign.

It's easy to blame the media, but it's also lazy and it's not always true. The media didn't invent the series of lies that the Harris campaign has told. The media didn't make the Harris campaign claim that they had been given endorsements that they didn't have. The media didn't make the Harris falsely claim that a rally had been moved at the last minute to explain away a pathetic turnout. Blaming the media might make you feel better, but it doesn't fix the real problems with the Harris campaign.

She is not going to cost us a Senate seat....If the RNC wanted to run someone else they were more than capable in doing so

The RNC did not run her. Where did you get that idea? Her supporters have been moaning that the Republican establishment hasn't been supporting her, as if they have a duty to take sides in a primary.

Which is what this is - a primary. This is how the party chooses its candidate. To complain that we aren't supporting the Republican candidate is to forget the simple fact that there isn't a Republican candidate yet.

The last time that I looked at her record it was conservative...Have you looked at it????

Yes, I have. And while there is a lot there I agree with, her character is extremely suspect to me, based on her own words and actions. And character counts to me.

I never said that someone from Florida shouldn't post....but I have said that Harris won't miss their vote....because that's true!

I know how to post on the FL message board....We don't call it the 'Florida section'....I wondered if there was another place.

The message board is used primarily for announcements not news stories.

[RNO1]

Just who are we suppose to vote for???? Please do tell mw who the right choice is here in Florida...

[Nextrush]

I've seen annointing in places like Colorado where Coors was
backed for U.S. Senate in 2004 and you certainly know that in Florida President Bush and Carl Rove wanted Mel Martinez for U.S. Senate in 2004. Bill McCollum was dumped over the side.

We might not like it, but annointing happens and its obvious they didn't annoint Katherine Harris like Mel Martinez was in 2004.

So I am bothered by the lack of support for Harris knowing that the top people always get behind someone early, not because I like the idea that this thing happens.

Vote your conscience. If you want to vote for somebody like Harris, you are entitled to do so.

But don't pretend that she doesn't have serious character issues. If you can overlook them, that's fine.

[highball]

We might not like it, but annointing happens and its obvious they didn't annoint Katherine Harris

I don't like it, but I recognize that sometimes it happens. That doesn't make it right, nor does it mean that a candidate must always be anointed in every primary.

The sense of entitlement from the Harris camp and her supporters, that she has somehow been wronged because she actually had to face opponents in a primary, is very arrogant. It is also revealing.

[steve-b]

what will her record be

"Blew what should have been a GOP Senate seat pickup"

Great record, that.

[RNO1]

This race is far from over....It will begin once the primary is over...You really do not understand her support her in Florida...She is the only conservative in this race......If there is a problem for some who is in it....Then contact Libby Dole and ask her why....I wanted Jeb to run and Katherine remain my congresswoman...That did not happen and I intend on supporting the only conservative in this race...I have stated my reasons on many of these Harris threads....The media set out to destroy her early on and they seemed to have succeeded//

[RNO1]

The only way this race could have been easy..No matter who run was if Jeb Bush had got in the race....Other than that it was never ever going to be easy...It is pretty hard to unseat a incumbent..

[RNO1]

In your opinion she has character flaws...I happen to know the other side of her...It is not any thing like what is being portrayed...I do intend to vote for her....So I guess that since you do not have a choice then I should just stay home as the race is over....What a deafest attitude...She has never ever quit on any vet who has gone to her for help and this vet will not quit on her because a few here do not like her...I will stick with a conservative that stands up for vets each and every time that I know of has been asked....

[highball]

In your opinion she has character flaws...I happen to know the other side of her...It is not any thing like what is being portrayed...

Do you admit that her campaign has had serious issues with the truth?

[RNO1]

I know how the liberal media has portrayed it. This is not the first time the liberal media has set out to portray her....They have done the exact same thing in each and every election...I will ask you again...Just who do those of us who support Katherine Harris suppose to support....or we just to stay home....I think maybe you do not understand what loyalty means to a vet....At least this vet...

[highball]

Riiiight.

The media has made her campaign lie. The media then made her campaign issue retractions for those lies.

Heck, I bet she's never lost a single campaign manager or advisor. Those were all fictional people fabricated with forged Social Security numbers to give the impression that her campaign is hemmoraging staffers.

I salute your service and appreciate your loyalty, but it's misplaced. She doesn't deserve it.

bttt

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks for the BTTT.....you 'handsome devil'.....LOL

I wish you lived in FL so you could vote for Katherine Harris.......

[NeoCaveman]

You are quite welcome.

September is way too late for a primary. It's amazing an incumbent ever loses when your primary is that late.
