Cruella Lied About Spending Inheritance on Campaign
Last week:

"I'm going to take his legacy that he gave to me, everything I have, and I'm going to put it in this race," she told Sean Hannity. "I'm going to commit my legacy from my father -- $10 million."

A moment later, Hannity asked, "This is money from your father?"

"Yes," replied Harris.


Now:

Campaign says Harris won't turn to inheritance
In an effort to jump-start her sputtering Senate campaign, Rep. Katherine Harris went on national television invoking the memory of her late father and saying the money he left her will form the financial foundation of her challenge to Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

Now the Harris campaign says that's not the case.

Campaign spokeswoman Morgan Dobbs said Thursday that Harris will sell her existing assets rather than rely on money from her father, a bank executive who died in January.

1. Hey, are you implying Katherine Harris is dishonest?
Just because she stole an election and sent us to Hell by labelling thousands of law-abiding citizens "suspected felons" and preventing them from voting...

2. Let her spend her money, no matter
where it comes from. Then she can get a job at a fast food joint or big box store.

6. Do NOT go by her campaign headquarters
and DO NOT pick up a bunch of posters and stickers and buttons and stuff.
That stuff costs money.

When you say "big box" around her, the thought of a store
doesn't cross my mind.
She a whore, because she's whored herself out to get ahead in her political career.

3. Well, that just breaks my heart ...
I've always believed that Katherine Harris was a woman of her word, one who would never lie, cheat, steal, or mislead. When she announced her candidacy, my first thought was, "Wow! Finally an HONEST Republican comes forward. That's a good sign, and just might lead to a much-needed change in the GOP."

And now THIS! I am truly stunned. :sarcasm:

5. Are you an American in Canada?
Did you leave because of Bush?

10. Yes, I'm an American living in Canada ...
... but it didn't have anything to do with Bush.

I came here in the 'seventies with my first husband, who was offered a very lucrative job in Toronto.

I am now with my third husband, who is also an American.

But while I didn't come here because of Bush, I am certainly staying here because of him. My husband and I talked for years about moving back to the States, but once Bush was selected, that discussion was off the table.

We have universal health care, we live in the downtown area of a city that is both beautiful AND safe, and the media here still tells it like it is.

Thanks to the damage done by BU$HCO, it will be a long time, sadly, before our own country is back to being somewhere that can offer us anything comparable to what we have here.

And I NEVER thought I'd live to say that. But there you have it.

Beautiful AND clean.

16. I moved here from New York ...
... and when our friends from Brooklyn came to visit, they insisted on taking photos of the subway.

"If we don't have the PROOF of how clean this place is, no one back on the block will BELIEVE it!"

20. That was my reaction, because I had been visting NYC the previous years...
I remember thinking, well, it will get worse as we hand downtown toward the waterfront. When we got to the tower, It was still all CLEAN! My friend and I SERIOUSLY considered moving there (we went to Montreal, Kitchener and Ottawa on the same trip.)

18. We can't be truly objective ...
... because we're both Americans, are politically involved, and still have family and friends there.

But the reaction of Canadians to the current state of affairs in the US is absolute shock. They keep saying to us, "What the HELL is going on in your country? Why are people LETTING these things happen?"

Because we're in Toronto, we get US as well as Canadian TV stations. The difference between the two, when it comes to news reporting, is astounding.

Example: The day of the world-wide protests against the war in Iraq, we were watching CNN. They were showing shots of almost empty NYC side streets, and announcing that the crowd was estimated to be about 50,000 people. Well, I'm from NY, and I've seen more than 50,000 people spontaneously protest when the Sabrett's guy on 52nd Street ran out of hot dog buns.

So we switched over to CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Co) and there was one of their guys, standing in front of a WALL of people, announcing that the police had just estimated the crowd at 150,000 and growing.

Well, we know who had the numbers right, don't we? (CNN put the revised number on their crawl the next morning, without any further comment.)

That's why Americans here always ask, when someone talks about something they saw on TV, "Did you hear that on the US news, or on the REAL news?"

I used to BRAG about being an American to the people I met here. I'm not bragging these days, not by a longshot.

30. Glad I gave you a laugh!
It didn't, however, attract as much attention as the 'No More Sauerkraut' riot on 14th Street one summer.

People were trying to be philosophical about it, until the street vendor yelled, "Let them eat relish!"

He barely escaped with his life.

7. I think she forgot something...
"I'm going to take his legacy that he gave to me, everything I have, and I'm going to put it in this race," she told Sean Hannity."I'm going to commit my legacy from my father -- $10 million."

Then why do probate records reflect a $39million bequest?

There's an old saying: If your enemy is intent on destroying himself, don't get in the way.:smoke:

21. Everything she says is of course a lie. When she says up, it of course
means down.

Of course she wasn't going to use her father's money. Do you think she's stupid?

She's a predator.

A vampire.

Predators and vampires treat their money (ie blood supply) like it is their oxygen. To them that is their power and they want everybody elses, and then of course they hoard their own.

22. Let's see...
She inherited $9 million, was it?
And her father was a bank executive?

Not saying anything, here. Just asking.

24. Her father left an estate worth over $750 million
and that does not include the $200-300 million she got from her grandfathers estate.

27. Wonder how her father swindled, I mean "earned" that amassed wealth?
I'm sure it was not from taking from those who needed it more than he did. No, of course not.

And his children are obviously shining beaconed examples of his "altruism".

by its application to Harris. What a shame.

31. Flip - flop
Edited on Sun Mar-26-06 12:45 AM by lpbk2713




This Harris campaign is truly comedic. Her own PR people can't even keep up with her frequent position changes. This is why the Florida GOP wanted to have nothing to do with her. She's a flake. That was apparent on the recent Hannity infomercial.
