Posted by: Who.... me? on April 12, 2005 03:05 PM I could not have said it better myself.
It bears repeating that most of these ideas
that chris vance is espousing are mark hulst's
ideas not his.
Besides in order to win races you have to have
money to get your message out.the state gop
doesn't right now.That my friends will
be the biggest obstacle to regaining
the state legislature.
Well, lets chew on these a while, shall we?

Sanders paid wife, stepdaughter for campaign efforts
Wednesday, April 13, 2005 - 8:34:57 AM EST
" WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bernard Sanders used campaign donations to pay his wife and stepdaughter more than $150,000 for campaign-related work since 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. "
" Jane O'Meara Sanders, his wife, received $91,020 between 2002 and 2004 for "consultation" and for negotiating the purchase of television and radio time slots for Sanders' advertisements, according to records and interviews. "
" Carina Driscoll, daughter to Jane O'Meara Sanders and stepdaughter to the lawmaker, earned $65,002 in "wages" between 2000 and 2004, campaign records show. "
" Driscoll, a former state legislator, served as Rep. Sanders' campaign manager in 2000, his fund-raiser and office manager in 2003 and his database manager in 2004, according to Jeff Weaver, Sanders' chief of staff. "
" No laws prohibit candidates from paying family members for campaign work. But the appearance that lawmakers use their position to benefit people close to them concerns watchdog groups. "
" "If it's corruption when Tom DeLay does it, then it's corruption when Bernie Sanders does it." "
look old buddy I can understand that your
trying to fill the seats.But you have to
realize that chris vance just isn't a big
draw anymore.
Its because he doesn't have the support
anymore that he once did.Its true I don't
like chris vance.I dont like what he did
to mark hulst and I dont like what he and his
crowd are doing to steve hammond.
You made not may not like what i have
said about chris vance and that's ok
Its not easy but we all at one point
or another have to have the courage to
face the truth.
I don't like saying this but everything I
Have said about chris vance is the truth.
everything i have said in the past i can
back up.
Can you admit it? In front of your fan club above?
Namely, can you agree that politicians from both sides lie, cheat, steal, have poor ethics, etc?
Or do you continue to live in the world of Republicans are saintly and democrats are evil? (before you answer, please remember that the list of republican misdeeds is at least as long as the list above)
Posted by: Pierre Drinkingwater on April 16, 2005 05:14 AMNo drinkingwater, Republicans are not all saintly, some are liberals, but they don't deliberately drink from the toilet.
Straighten up.
Posted by: Amused by liberals on April 17, 2005 12:39 PMAs you said, both sides do it. No one here has been critisizing the dems for doing it. The dems are changing subject to the reps payments as if the dems are oh so moral. The dems are just as much in the muck on that point, so please STOP BRINGING IT UP!
So now you have it - it is in the open on this site.
It is also nothing to do with this site so clear it off this site.
Now that it has been admitted on this site, would you like to admit that the election was screwed up, as that actually is the topic? That laws were broken? That things are being hidden? or are you just going to continue your "Delay did this.." trash?
