Florida Republicans roll out negative campaign against U.S. Sen. Nelson
I can't wait to move out of this fukking state and back to Boston. We've got just about all the kiddie porn perverts down here, along with corrupt pols, oppressive humidity, and now we have some weirdo breaking into houses naked to tickle womens feet! If Nelson loses then Harris may get in. I can't live here with that botox mammal as a Senator.

WASHINGTON · Sen. Bill Nelson predicted Republican attempts to oust him would get ugly as he sought re-election next year.

But even Nelson was caught off guard when told a Republican group was questioning whether he would be easy on sexual predators simply because he appeared with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in a historically black community of Eatonville, Fla.

After the appearance, the National Republican Senatorial Committee posted items on its Web site asking "Nelson Campaigns With Obama -- Does He Agree With Obama's Record Of Lenience On Sexual Predators?" The site then listed votes Obama made as a state senator on such issues as sex offenders, pornography and adult businesses near schools.

1. Using that logic and the porn people that went to the repub
thing with *, that would make the repubs pro porn and therefore pro-kiddie porn. Pass the word.

Harris lagging behind Nelson in campaign funding effort

By Jeremy Wallace

Republican Katherine Harris begins her race for the U.S. Senate in an unfamiliar place -- trailing her opponent when it comes to fund-raising.

The Longboat Key Republican had just $406,808 in her campaign account as of June 30, according to Federal Election Commission records released this week. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, has almost $5 million, including more than $2 million he raised over the past three months.

..more at link...

while they are attacking Nelson,,, they are not 100% behind Harris...

3. harris got bush elected, obviously
she supports lying, treason, obstruction of justice and perjury. harris obviously wants our troops to stay in iraq indefinitely and get picked off one after the other. harris obviously sees no need to testify under oath even when it comes to the most gravest of matters regarding national security.

Please Florida dems, fight back. It works. And god knows, you have so much more ammo than conservatives do.
