GOP rival urges Katherine Harris to save her self-respect & quit race
Edited on Mon Aug-07-06 01:42 AM by Bluebear
The crowd of 100... 100! . . .:rofl:

Don't you listen, Katherine. You stay put and SPEND that dough!



NORTH REDINGTON BEACH -- LeRoy Collins Jr. walked slowly to the podium and politely praised the tenacity of Katherine Harris, one of his competitors for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate.

Then, in nearly the same breath, Collins let her have it:

"On this occasion, I would like to suggest that she withdraw from the race," Collins said. "I think for the benefit of the country, the state and her own self-respect."

The crowd of 100 people at the Belleair Women's Republican Club fell silent, and a few in the audience chuckled. Collins didn't crack a smile, and it took a few seconds for the audience to realize he was serious....

Harris, who was seated just a few feet to Collins' left, didn't flinch. After the event, she shrugged Collins' remarks off as a "silly" statement and a "good press gimmick"...

2. Wait, he's appealing to her sense of self-respect?
Does he know this woman? Did he see the time she went of Hannity & Other and kept sticking out her chest at the camera?

33. She'll say that LeRoy Collins, Jr. is just not a Christian
That's her line, you know....that (yes, it's wack, I know) the REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERSHIP is...

ANTI-CHRSTIAN. She's been at it for months, ever since Florida's Republican elites first asked her to get out of the race.

You know, the Tom DeLay approach. If you oppose me, you're anti-Jesus.

The latest polls show Bill Nelson ahead by 37 points. But of course, to the her wingnut supporters, with Gawd's help, she can win.

And on that gloooorious day, monkeys will fly out of my butt.

21. What's the difference between...
Katherine Harris and a Possum?

One's a rodent like animal, and the other's often roadkill.

38. So which is it? Sounds from your definition as though either part of it
fits her accurately.

Poor 'possum. What was she doing to it?

11. This was all planned, they had to find a way to make her go insane.
Disassociate her with the GOP and then minimize her status so she can't do a tell all later. She can be ridiculed and dismissed when she spills the beans. They probably hope she has a nervous breakdown to make it easier to get rid of. PNAC says, mission accomplished.

A la the Green party candidate in the PA/Santorum race.

27. Mmmmmm.......
BEFORE:
"We'll win, so don't listen to the prognosticators, or the pollsters — you can make a poll say anything you want," Harris said Thursday at a luncheon. "Don't be discouraged. We've done it before. We'll do it again."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060804/ap_on_el_se/florida_senate

AFTER:
Harris, who was seated just a few feet to Collins' left, didn't flinch. After the event, she shrugged Collins' remarks off as a "silly" statement and a "good press gimmick" for someone who is in the single digits in most polling.

http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060805/NEWS/608050345

So Katie, which is it? To poll or not to poll? That is the question.

Well, that's one of the questions anyway. The other question is, can possums still vote in Florida like they did in 2000? And does possum taste like chicken???

32. KKKatherine supporters getting ugly.
....McBride also tried to deflect questions about how he could take such a tough stance against illegal immigration when he was marching at immigration reform rallies this spring.

One woman in the audience showed the crowd pictures of McBride at a May rally in which he was holding an "Immigrants United for Freedom" sign and walking with American and Mexican flags behind him....

35. Collins was over reaching when he included country
in his statement "I think for the benefit of the country, the state and her own self-respect."


The most it should had been would be
"I think for the benefit of the state and her own self-respect."

44. Heave n and Sexual E quality
     The beautiful but evil Katherine Harris seems to have a
quality sexual life.  It's all in the symbols.  She no doubt
hopes for a place in Heave n.  That's right, heave overboard
the fourteen year-olds.  It's all relative to the phrase
"Men Are Really Scurrilous" even though they're not
all the same.  I hope you figure it out.
