Katherine Harris -- Will Age Old "Liberal" Smear Work Here???

[Peter Frank]

"As Ronald Reagan used to say, there they go again. U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris and other Republicans targeting U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in the 2006 elections are already resorting to the old, tired tactic of calling him a liberal. But in Nelson's case, the rhetoric doesn't match the reality..."

1. I have to ask...

...did you find that photo in an illustrated dictionary under the entry for harpy?

[Peter Frank]

4. I've Got Worse Pics of Her...

...but they would be even more distracting. Any thoughts on the topic?

2. if that doesn't work

they can call him a flip-flopper. :eyes:

9. Tricky Dickey Straragy...

"U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris is running for the U.S. Senate in the style of Richard Nixon..."

'...First, you make the incumbent the issue. Then you say "liberal" as often as possible. Asked what time it is, you don't say "2:30" - you say, "Even my liberal opponent would agree it's 2:30."

Democrats do it, too, by calling people "right-wing extremists" who threaten our "rights." Maybe Americans don't agree that everything rises to the level of a "right," so Republicans win more often.'

botox for one eye.

7. Katy Harris will soon be out of a job

Her tenure in government will be over in November of 2006. She is a lightweight and will be eaten alive by Nelson, especially with the Bush albatross hanging around her neck.

8. Don't be too sure about that.

It's Florida, remember, and it's simply not going to be a cakewalk for Nelson.

If it were Bob Graham, I'd agree, but I don't trust the Republicans as far as I can throw them with this race.

[FrankBooth]

11. By next election

Being perceived as a Bush crony will be the political kiss of death, and Katie will not be able to distance herself from them. And, she is a lightweight.

Just my gut feeling.

[Peter Frank]

16. Nelson Should Win..

...and if/when he does, maybe this will spell the beginning of the end to the effectiveness of slapping every non-neoCon with the "Liberal" lable.

[aquart]

13. You're assuming Florida counts votes.

[Peter Frank]

14. I'm Sure Fla. Election Officials Will Count Some of the Votes... n/t

10. IT BURNS MY EYES.

Geeee-aaawwd. That is one horrific looking woman. Cruella Deville, look out.

[peace frog]

15. AArrgghh, now I need brain bleach...

.. to wipe out that mental image seared into my mind. :evilfrown:

Post a warning before you inflict her photo on the innocent, wouldja. :)

[Mr_Spock]

19. Isn't there an eraser for that media whore?

She's just a ditz and needs a spanking.

[KnowerOfLogic]

20. Will the age old "I'm not a liberal" denial work this time? Please, let's

stop running from the word 'liberal.' It is long past time to reclaim this word, redefine it as the virtue that it is, and be proud of it.

[Peter Frank]

21. Gotta' Admit...

...you make allot of sense. The tricky part though, would be redefining liberalism to people who've been brainwashed into believing that only one party has any morals -- and all others are intrinsically and patently evil.
