'Our Girl" Katherine Harris goes 'Off to the Races" (At Desoto Super Speedway)
Elect Harris Senate Campaign ^ | 2-25-06 | Harris Campaign

Posted on 05/26/2006 8:36:10 AM PDT by JulieRNR21

Off to the Races

Joining approximately 1200 fans, the Harris for U.S. Senate campaign ventured out to the Desoto Super Speedway recently and Katherine quickly stole the show.

Jack Smith, a track official said, "Often, when a political candidate or even one already in office shows up at a race track, they do their thing, make their short speech, shake a few hands, and leave quickly. Not so with Katherine!

After taking time to talk to seemingly everyone in the stands, she moved to the flag-stand, officially started the race with the green flag, and later discussed gas prices, illegal immigration problems, and the economy, closing with, 'We're not ever going to let those boys in Washington tell us what we're going to do, we're going to listen to Floridians and take care of you guys back home!'"

So enthralled in speaking to fans and watching the race were Katherine and her husband, Anders, that they stayed at the race until well past 10:00 p.m. Summing it up for everyone, race fan John Sarppraicone stated, "A lot of politicians don't care about the everyday folks, and you know what, the everyday folks are what make this country. [Katherine] has a very positive attitude toward people...she can do some good for our country."

Katherine dropped the green flag to start the race and watched the "Harris for U.S. Senate" car driven by Bill Davis (#15 car/appropriately named "Miss Liberty") circle the track.

"Our Girl..."

Also last week, Katherine traveled to Daytona. Not for another race, but to attend the Volusia County REC's Lincoln Day Dinner with special guest Lynn Swann, former NFL Hall of Famer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and current Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate. Hundreds of local Republicans gathered along with some of the most influential politicians in Florida for what was an amazing night.

As Katherine settled into her seat, a plentiful vinaigrette salad with hot rolls and iced tea before her, her attention pointed to the stage as the band played old jazz tunes. Suddenly the band-leader stopped and looked out among the crowd, and called four people to the stage.

Whispered murmurs heighten as attendees speculated about what was happening, as this was not part of the official program. Suddenly, intonations of chords of the song, 'My Girl,' reverberate off the walls. The quartet called to the stage began singing the song, but inserting the word "Katherine" to the lyrics. "Katherine, my girl, talking about, my girl, Katherine, oooooo-oooooo-oh! Katherine! Katherine!" Surprise, laughter, and smiles quickly followed, as a shocked Katherine beamed, ear-to-ear. What a way to top off the night! "I was so surprised at the 'serenade' by the quartet. I think we'll have to bring them along with us on the campaign trail," Katherine said.

"This is just the beginning for what promises to be an eventful campaign where we travel the state, meet with voters, and have some fun on the trail," Katherine added. For updated campaign information, news articles, pictures and videos, please visit our website at http://www.ElectHarris.org

That body you admire is the result of good diet and gym workouts.

She very disciplined in both to keep up her stamina, relieve stress & give her energy for the campaign.

And the content of her character and her conservative values are what I most admire!

Folks, I don't reply to the content of the posts by the two stalkers. People here can post what they want.

However, as I stated in # 81, I'm aggressively noting the modus operandi of their synchronized hate routine which those of us long-time freepers have never seen before.

Please read # 81, 87 and 138.

One of the two, "Field Marshall" has just gone over the edge with his post #99.

He or she intimates Jeb Bush should be afraid of some mentally-ill Harris supporter attempting an "Arthur Bremer" on him.

As most of you recall, Arthur Bremer was the would-be assassin who shot Governor George Wallace, hoping to kill him, but ended up paralyzing the governor for the rest of his life.

This post is sick and is typical of what Hitman and Field Marshall are posting on this thread. Please read the attacks and name-calling to Harris supporters for yourself.

Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

Savage has been critical of some in the Catholic Church who have been strong advocates of the illegal aliens and their agenda.

Savage is right on both counts, and I agree with him. I'm a lifelong Catholic, and a lifelong Conservative.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Maybe you are- so be advised of this, Savage's attack against the Catholic Church here in L.A. are way off base on this issue of Latino(legal and illeagl)immigrants .

He failed to mention in his rant about the Cardinal Roger Mahoney that Hispanics make the vast majority of people here in L.A. and therefore make up the majority of Catholics here !

So ofcourse the Catholic Church is going to be more sympathetic to the matter of illegal immigrants acquiring amnesty .

There stance is wrong, but it is understandable why they would take such . .

Excuse me, but K Harris is an excellent candidate,but excuse me for deflating your enormous sense of yourself with the truth. Coming from a corrupt area like you are from with the Mayor a mob Mouthpiece makes you really sound foolish. If you do not behave like Du nobody would suspect you of being a DUmmie. Put your fingers in your ears and say Lalalalalala.......You would make a lot more sense. I have no desire to converse with a negative hijacker that is not within a Thousand miles of Florida. Talk to Harry Reid and Ensign..

ALERT !

As an alert to freeper GOP voters and Harris supporters on FR, please analyze this thread:

Hitman and Field Marshall are stalking Harris thread to trash her, often repeating Dem talking points as they post on this and on numerous other Harris threads.

NOTE that of the approximately 85 posts on this thread as I write, 21 or more are from these two stalkers working in tandem.

Please NOTICE how they work as a team, alternating the hits.

Also NOTICE how near the end of the second set of 50 replies, they are virtually and unabashedly hi-jacking the thread, spouting their negativity against our state's conservative candidate, Cong. Harris.

MR. HITMAN and Mr. FIELD MARSHALL, please be aware that I shall follow your swat team forays on FR and I will expose your methods on every thread you try to trash just as a surely as you stalk the Harris supporters.

Folks, scroll back and take a look-see for yourself. Verify the methodology for yourself. I'm not making this up. I've been on FR since '98 and have never seen anything like this.

Honest debate and comments are one thing, but stalking by Harris hitmen is intolerable.

This is not the first thread where this distortion of our privileges here on FR have taken place. the trash campaign looks suspiciously professional to me.

Thanks for your attention,

Leni/MinuteGal (Florida)





I hope the moderator don't mind that I paste this statement as reminder to the spamming "Conservative" White Flag bearer alias the mouthpieces for the liberal "drive-by" L.S.M. to advance the campaign for bill nelson, and who are repeatedly posting their liberal (DU) propaganda here on this conservative site!??!..............:

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.

May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

"I can't help but notice that the "you have to vote for him/her, she's a Republican crowd" never seems to show up on these Katherine Harris threads."

Strange isn't it. Guess you only have to vote R when it's thier candidate.

I think Harris will win in the end. Polls at this point are meaningless. What is her position on illegal immigration? If she gets on the rigth side of that issue she will get lots of votes from D's and well as R's. She is a good candidate and she will win.

At this point, Floridians of sense have to support and vote for Katherine Harris. She is a Republican, perhaps even a conservative Republican. And Bill Nelson is a liberal Democrat.
