Harris will "not own anything" after Senate race

MIAMI — Rep. Katherine Harris said she will “not own anything” after spending $10 million of her personal inheritance to fund her U.S. Senate campaign.

Harris announced last week that she planned to spend money she inherited after her father’s death in January on her campaign. She talked about that decision on ABC News’ “Nightline” program Tuesday night.

“My husband has real estate but I will not own anything,” Harris said. “I am willing to put everything on the line. I am willing to take this widow’s mite, this pearl of great price and put everything on the line.”

Before Harris’ March 15 announcement that she would spend her own money on her campaign, there were rumors that she would withdraw from the race after her name was associated with a defense contractor who bribed another congressman.

[leftofthedial]

102. great big ol brand spankin new stripper tits

[cascadiance]

104. Will she get in the ring with Tonya Harding like Paula Jones did

Paula Jones also had a nose job she had paid for at risk then too and needed some bucks then...

Cruella probably knows that she won't need any money of her own if she's sharing a prison cell with Ann Coulter later. Might as well spend what she can now before that happens!

[localroger]

2. SPEND IT ALL, CRUELLA.

[meegbear]

11. Then she'll flood the repugs with "donation" request letters ...

lost all my money fighting those darn liberals.

[tekriter]

24. And my goober cubicle mate...

would be the first one to write her a check.

[MADem]

3. Except her sour old milkshake, so maybe she can bring all the boyz

to the yard....

[C_U_L8R]

5. I think I'm gonna yack !

ewwww

[mark11727]

4. Man, and I thought _I_ was bad at handling money...!

Hee!

[AndyA]

6. Spend it, bitch.

Then go rot in hell.

It's better than you deserve for corrupting the 2000 election, and inflicting this parasitic disease named Bush on the country.

Katherine Harris is an UGLY woman, internally and externally.

[wakeme2008]

7. I posted a week or so ago

per her net worth she has to file, she showed only around 11 mil...

IMHO, her husband is probably going crazy now.. :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

8. Oh, cry me an f'ing river

open the window witch, and throw the money to the poor -- you might redeem your Karma.

[Divine Discontent]

88. I'm SOOOOO

Jealous of your license plate!!

[Mad_Dem_X]

93. Give her inheritance to the poor? Are you insane??

You mean, she could actually put that inheritance toward a cause more worthy than herself? Perish the thought!

One word: BANKRUPTCY!

[mtnester]

9. Since she sold her soul LONG ago

she owns nothing NOW.

[Canuckistanian]

10. She'll have to eke out a living on her husband's $20 Million

Poor baby.

[Solly Mack]

12. I want to serve the people so badly, I'll go to the po' house trying

lol

alrighty then

[tanyev]

14. Since when does $10 million = widow's mite?

Kathy needs to actually read a Bible before she starts shooting her mouth off about things she thinks it says.

[wordpix2]

47. what IS a widow's mite? Harris is a f**$$ing idiot--spend it, bitch!

[tanyev]

49. See post 20.

Jesus praised a poor widow who donated everything she had, although it was a mere pittance. I would love to see Harris foolishly throw away all of her money on a failed political race, but there is no way that compares to the story of the poor widow giving generously to help others.

[teknomanzer]

71. okay then...

she has proven herself to be completely ignorant and arrogant. Widow's mite indeed.

[Inland]

15. Finally, a means to redistribute wealth.

As rich republicans spend millions for failed campaigns, copy shops and flyer delivery services reap the benefits.

[FooFootheSnoo]

16. This is not funny!!

Maybe all of you would like to make fun of her, but how is this good Christian woman going to pay for her makeup and botox without money? Hello? That stuff is not free. :sarcasm:

[0007]

19. 'Tis very serious stuff!

[VegasWolf]

70. She'll still have her God who has told her he wants her to run!!! nt

[Olney Blue]

17. It should tell her something....

that no-one wants to fund her campaign.

[rodeodance]

18. well, gee, she might have to work to bring in the bacon???--i don't think

so!

[Binka]

20. this widow’s mite, this pearl of great price

This motherfucking bitch is putting herself in the company of some biblical heavy weights. What a fucking faux X-tian Ho! She is looking for the phony X-tian base that "ostensibly" won the 04 election for Bush. Setting up her theft it appears to me, if she can claim the "fundie mandate" maybe her theft will not appear so blatant. Fucking BITCH.


Mark 12:41-44
The Widow's Offering
41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. <1> 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”


Matt 13:45,46 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it."

[mikeytherat]

29. OMFG. She did NOT use "the widow's mite" to describe herself, did she?

Wow. I mean, wow. There's ego, there's EGO, and there's Kathy Harris!

I guess those implants are not saline, but rubber, to insulate against the impending lightning strikes.

mikey_the_rat

[Binka]

38. Hubris! Yes she said it!

The magic make up has seeped into her last brain cell.

[calimary]

86. Of course she'd go there. They ALL speak in "code" to appeal further

to their twisted xtian base. All those Biblical references are inserted in a MOST deliberate, calculating, and manipulative way. Notice how bush does it all the time, when he's trying to wax rhapsodic, he'll make sure his speechwriters have put in all these subtle Biblical references. I'm thinking of "...a house not made by hands..." from one of his speeches (I think it was that photo-speech stunt in the nicely lit and cleaned-up town square after Katrina). YEAH. DUH! What's THAT supposed to mean?

THAT'S what's going on here. It's subtle telegraphing to her "base." They ALL do that, trying to whore to the religious wackos. She's trying it, too.

Well, katherine, dear, Scripture - especially the NEW TESTAMENT most of your ilk ignore in favor of moldy oldies like Leviticus (NEW Testament. You know, the one with Jesus actually in it) - does say that a rich man getting into heaven is kinda like a camel going through the eye of a needle. Maybe, for the sake of what's left of your soul, katherine dear, you SHOULD spend it all. Maybe you BETTER spend it all. 'Cause your cash ain't nothing but trash to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

[wordpix2]

48. thanks for explaining, I am LMFAO

[Divine Discontent]

80. who wrote THAT bullshit up for her????

and I'm not talking about the beautiful biblical stories - I'm talking about Cruella's lil' speech there to the blind republican Christian masses who they think (and probably are right) will eat this up!

WIDOW'S MITE! She's got the NERVE... that woman was poor and gave what little she had, KATHY ain't gonna be HURTING by spending her $10 mil inheritance (she's got more coming, she has too, Nelson's office said she had $59 mil I thought), and for her to say these things.... Oh noooo, sorry.. I can' :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

www.cafepress.com/honestymatters CHECK OUT BILL NELSON/KATHY STUFF!

[populistdriven]

21. Maybe she hates her father because he was a Democrat?

If it was his money then its "dirty" so what better way launder it than to give it all on Corporate media?

[DRoseDARs]

22. I might take her more seriously if...

...she would just quit nailing herself to a cross all the time. :eyes:

[RayOfHope]

23. Poor, self-sacrificing Katherine. Boo hoo

She'll just find some sugar daddy to support her wretched self.

[LiberalinNC]

25. She'll own more than most people make their entire life!!!!

That's a slap in the face to all woman, especially those of us who stay home w/ our children. What a whiny Bitch!

[woodsprite]

26. Except the voting machines and other repubs "hineys". n/t

[UTUSN]

27. Wait'll hubby finds out. He'll take his real estate and run (away, that is

[Maeve]

28. A fool and her money..... eom

[Bill219]

32. ...

http://www.makeherspenditall.com

[salin]

30. Yea! Vote for Me the Martyr for the Cause! Just pretend

that I didn't take a bribe (as attested to my attempts to secure fed $$ for the donor that were only thwarted because I never follow the small details like... making deadlines) and act in ways that would have benefitted a donor - and stuck YOU with the taxpayer bill.

[BR_Parkway]

31. So, if we worked to elect her, would other Repugs throw all their

money into the ring? Might cost us a seat this election cycle, but we could bankrupt a bunch of them during 08.

[Catshrink]

33. Not even a tube of mascara?

or a box of eye shadow? What is this world coming to when the rich must sacrifice so much?

:sarcasm:

[global1]

34. There Must Be Some Big Money To Be Made As A Senator If.....

she is willing to spend $10 million of her own money on this race.

[Robb]

35. "Hey, what does this job pay?"

"Nothing."
"D'oh!"
"Unless you're crooked."
"Woo-hoo!"

[onehandle]

36. Boobies! nt

[Marie26]

37. Jeez, give it up.

I can't imagine any Senate seat being worth going bankrupt for. It's amazing what some people will do for power.

[WhiteTara]

39. I hope she has to use the local homeless

shelter and eat from the food bank. Please whoever is running against that woman, please WIN!

[ronnykmarshall]

40. Help her meet that goal!

http://www.makeherspenditall.com/

[mumon]

41. I HATE mixed metaphors...

What an ass! A "widow's mite" is a tiny amount of money, the sum total of a very poor widow.

The "pearl of great price" was a metaphor for Christ or his gospel.

What a blasphemous b*tch.

[Demeter]

42. A Fool and Her Money Are Soon Parted

Sayonara, dear!

[Javaman]

43. Perhaps her hubby will divorce her then after she loses.

now wouldn't that be justice.

[superconnected]

44. sounds like shes talking about property

not investmestments, or much she had in the bank.

I don't feel sorry for millionaires who throw away 10 million on egotistical endeavors.

And this IS Katharine Harris. Meaning SHE LIES. Last time she said "GOD" wants her to run. Now it's this.

[warrens]

45. I'll help her steal a shopping cart

She already looks like a bag lady in training anyway. And she's batshit crazy. She'll have a wonderful life dumpster diving.

[LeftHander]

46. When she buys her way into the millionare club

She will make ten times the amount back.

[ingac70]

50. Widow's Mite??????

Puhleaze! :eyes:

GOPers will say anything! I reckon they aren't very afraid of the hell the pretend to believe in.........


http://www.ebibleteacher.com/children/lessons/widows.htm

[2Design]

51. her husband owns real estate - she will still be rich - n/t

[wordpix2]

64. as long as he doesn't dump her

[Mad_Dem_X]

94. ...for a younger, prettier model

[soup]

52. This is just so damn sad.

I'm in tears.

No doubt

$he's going to have to pawn her pearls (of great price) and settle for pop-beads from a vending machine.

and instead of zipping around in her (base price $77,000) BMW 645ci convertible, $he'll be jump-starting a rusty Pinto.

shakin a tincup rather than her boobie$ while begging for pennies on a street corner instead of drawing money out of her account at Northern Trust Bank ($1-million to $5-million).

sleeping in a refrigerator box, since the hous$e$ in Tallahassee, Long Boat Key and Switzerland all just went *poof!* and disappeared. Heaven knows what happened to her rental property in Sarasota... guess it went *poof!* too. Oh, and then there's her historic Capitol Hill townhouse, 'The Owl House', which Harri$ was renovating. Did it turn into the Money Pit and $uck up gazillion$ before it went *poof!* ?

that BHG Inc. stock $he sold in February 2004, for somewhere between $5 million and $25 million??? Well, gee, how long can a girl be expected to get by on such a pittance??? That's gotta be long gone by now...

Last fall $he loaned her campaign what? 250,000.00 (?) and now $he's going to throw the $10,000,000.00 $he inherited from her father into it.

and when $he loses? :cry: OMG, I just know we're all going to have to chip in to help her survive...

dining at the soup kitchen
sippin' pilfered Celestial Drops instead of champagne
$1.99 flip-flops instead of designer pumps
shoplifting make-up from Goodwill

and her boobie$ - will they be repoed?

poor, poor Kat.

[cliss]

53. Katherine Harris is an embarrassment

to the Repub party. They don't know what to do with her. They have already cut her loose (last year, they urged her to give up her quest for the Senate). But the little gal is stubborn. And egotistical.

What to do? If they push her too hard, she'll go public about how they stole the 2000 election. But they want another candidate (I forget his name).

Solution: let her spend Daddy's money. She'll lose the election. That will be her atonement money for what she did in 2000.

Little girls should not be playing with mafiosos.

[Tiggeroshii]

54. Where did she get 10 mil?

Her house seat? Or was she already a millionaire?

:shrug:

[Moondog]

59. Already a millionaire. Inherited.

The football stadium at the University of Florida is named after her father, or grandfather. The money comes from citrus and cattle.

[Patsy Stone]

55. Damn she has an expensive ego!

There's always work at Wal-Mart, Kathy.

[suston96]

56. She will win!

Any bets? She will win. She knows something we don't.

I say she will win. The flash cards are already embedded.

[Patsy Stone]

61. At 20 points behind Nelson

If she wins, I'm paying for the recount. :)

[superconnected]

79. she fixed a presidential election

she can certianly fix her own.

[ForPeace]

58. Widow's mite ?

Er ... don't you have to be a widow to have a widow's mite.

[yellowcanine]

60. FOR THE LAST TIME SHE AIN'T NO WIDOW AND THAT'S NO MITE.

Sorry for shouting but this is starting to piss me off. For Harris to compare her situation as a wealthy congresswoman spending an inheritance to further her political ambition to a destitute woman giving her last dime to charity takes enormous chutzpah and brass tits.

[ladjf]

62. So much for her "pieces of sliver".

[mvd]

63. Oh boo hoo

She's so far behind that she's trying the sympathy card.

[The_Casual_Observer]

65. Why doesn't she start a small business, employ some people

and actually do some good? I know it's too much to ask.

[Justice]

66. sounds like this is her (only) campaign theme

vote for me, I am funding my own campaign.

[Divine Discontent]

89. ummmmm...

That IS her only campaign theme.

well that and being #1 in the country in quoting the bible.

how does that usually play?

[meganmonkey]

67. She'll still have her integrity, right?

:rofl:

[Divine Discontent]

81. oh you're bad!

LOLOLOL she's got LOADS of that!

[Divine Discontent]

82. what a fraud!

isn't this the lady that railroaded against gays in the 70's??????? lol what a smarmy *itch!

[Divine Discontent]

83. oh how SWEEETTT!

"but little boy, if you grow up and realize you're a HOMOsexual? well, we can't help you!"




"my titties are on display folks, I'll rub against your husband for his support in just a moment!"


"Isn't the help fabulous here! oh.. I'm sorry, you're here for my candidacy, oh I'm so sorry!"


they took the full size of this one AWAY because it showed the police arresting her I guess for stealing the election in 2000?


and what IS IT with her always trying to slink up against men in person?

http://www.electharris.org/video/ she quotes the bible.... of course, right? and she tells them THEY elected George Bush in 2000... ugh. this woman, she haunts my dreams! she must be stopped!

[demgrrrll]

69. What a dumb ass. eom.

.

[Rex]

72. Those are codewords from the Ownership Society

I still say she will win; to connected and crooked not to!

[high density]

73. How big is her stupid ego?

Most sane people in her position would say "goodbye politics" and live off of the generous dividends and interest that $10 million would provide for the rest of their life.

[SammyWinstonJack]

92. About as big as Pinheads** nt

[hyphenate]

75. Like I said in another post

I hope she goes bankrupt.

[tenshi816]

76. She must think this is going to get her

the sympathy vote. "Oh, my, that poor little Katherine Harris will be destitute if she loses this election so we have to vote for her."

[jamesinca]

77. What a lying sack

"I am willing to take this widow’s mite, this pearl of great price and put everything on the line.” But in the same line it says “My husband has real estate but I will not own anything,” Fine, put your husbands houses and property on the line then you can make your religious references. Put his job on the line, then you can talk about making great sacrifice for this. When the day is done, win or loose you still have a house, income, food, clothing and your federal benefits from serving in the House of Reps. Lying shallow bitch

[BlueInPhilly]

78. Whatever happened to

"Sell everything you have and come follow me"?

[Lostnote06]

84. Awwww Katherine....You'll always have your dignity!!!n/m

[Justitia]

85. Run Kathy, Run! -eom

[noonwitch]

90. $10 million is hardly a widow's mite

Jesus is not fooled, Katy.

[HuffleClaw]

91. widow's mite ?

what the hell is that? this 'poor me' ploy is not likely to impress anyone. she's really gone off the deep end. she's gonna end up being a political joke, even the lecture circuit folks won't touch her.

[appleannie1]

96. Does that mean

she would have to learn to live like the rest of us? Her idea of not owning anything is probably having to give up her domestic help.

[dave29]

98. That's just stupid.

And we wan't her in charge of America's purse?

[Kailassa]

99. When the nuns used to say, "the PEARL of great price,"

at my school, they were referring to virginity.

Does this mean that poor Katherine is going to have to give up that as well?

[yellowcanine]

100. Florida doesn't have community property laws?

[tsuki]

103. No, not officially. But in a divorce, property (other than inheritance)

is looked at as communal.

[Raine]

101. L-I-A-R

she's got plenty of money, inherited a bundle from her pop and her hubby is loaded. Harris' is not going to suffer (unfortunately) no matter what she spends on her losing campaign. x(
