FEENEY WATCH: 'Corrupt' Congressman's Campaign Creates 'Crazy Clint Curtis' Smear Website!

Rudimentary Site 'Paid for by Tom Feeney' Offers Extraordinary Claims, Smears, Doctored Photos of Congressional Opponent, Vote-Rigging Whistleblower, But No Evidence to Back Up Claims

Smear Blogsite Included Gives No Indication if it's Paid for by Feeney or Not (In Violation of FEC Rules?)

The campaign of one of Congress' most corrupt members, Tom Feeney (R-FL), has apparently enlisted fifth graders to create a smear website (www.CrazyClintCurtis.com) dedicated to smearing Feeney's congressional opponenet Clint Curtis with doctored photos, innuendo and unsubstantiated, disproven claims.

The rudimentary site (okay, it's not created by fifth graders, it just looks, works and act that way) includes doctored photos and videos of Curtis, and includes a smear blogsite to go with it. There is no indication who is paid to run the blog, however. If it's created and/or run by a paid member of Curtis' campaign staff, it would seem to be in violation of FEC campaign laws, as it would require a "Paid for by Tom Feeney" notation somewhere on the blog...

1. Does Curtis have a chance?

Feeney is very powerful, and unless Rush Limbaugh is supporting Curtis, it ain't going to happen because the fools in his district listen to nothing else.

(Except for that cool couple at Lowe's I saw this weekend driving that convertible with the "Impeach Bush" sticker.)

3. His campaign says they do!

I'm told that their internal polling is very good. Haven't seen it myself, so I don't know.

But at this time, the DCCC is giving them no money at all! (Like so many other Dem candidates across the country) so it's really up to the citizens to support him.

Feeney, of course, has big time money (more than $1.1 million so far) from the top tier DeLay/Ney/Abramoff funders (and indeed, those guys themselves!) along wiht all of the huge pharamaceutical, insurance, banking, telecom PACS etc.

5. I admire him.

But these people would vote for the devil if he ran as a Republican.

2. I spent about 30 minutes talking to Clint Curtis

Shortly after he filed, at a candidate forum.

He sounded like a perfectly reasonable, sane man to me. Nice guy, and a political novice. I gave him all the advice I could in that time, and he seemed to appreciate it.

And I can tell you he sure didn't look anything like that picture.

6. What?!

...But I thought he was "crazy"?

Could it be that Feeney (for a change) is not telling the truth?! I'm shocked. Shocked!
