FIRST AND FOREMOST; IT'S NOT A LACK OF GRASSROOTS SUPPORT IN HACKETT'S CORNER. IT IS THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE OLD BOYS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE FACT THAT THE REPUBLICAN'S LAUNCHED A GIANT SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST HACKETT WITH MONEY FLOODING IN FROM THE GRAND OLD PHUCKS.
THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN ATTACKED HACKETT ON THE BASIS THAT HE WAS A "TAX & SPEND LIBERAL" AND SO THE KNUCKLE DRAGGING, I AIN'T GOIN' TA BE TAXED TO DEATH, SOCCER PARENTS WHO DRIVE THEIR SUBURBAN'S AND HUMVEE'S AND GO HUNTIN' AND LIVE IN THE CUL DE SAC CROWD, BUY INTO THIS IDIOTIC MYTH.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT READ, SEEN OR HEARD REAL NEWS IN SO LONG THAT THE PABLUM THEY INGEST ON A DAILY BASIS PLACATES THESE NEOPHYTES.
WE WATCHED THE SAME THING HAPPEN HERE IN SAN DIEGO DURING THE MAYORAL ELECTION. A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN, ALBIET FORMER POLICE CHIEF AND BIZ TYCOON, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE, JERRY SANDERS, MAGICALLY APPEARED AND USED THE EXACT SORT OF MEDIA BLITZ AGAINST DONNA FRYE, ALL THE WHILE HE WAS BACKED BY BIG G.O.P. DOLLARS. DONNA WAS FUNDED BY 100% GRASSROOTS MONEY COLLECTED BY DOOR TO DOOR AND PRINT ADS.
SAN DIEGO HAS BEEN RAPED BY OUR LOCAL LEADERSHIP FOR SO LONG, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE OR WHEN THE PENSION FUND SCANDAL BEGAN. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO EITHER PONY UP THE DOUGH OR LOSE ACCESS TO CLEAN BEACHES, DRIVE THROUGH POTHOLE INFESTED SURFACE STREETS, DRINK CHLORINE INSTEAD OF WATER AND LOSE OUR STATUS AS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN AMERICA... NOT GOOD FOR OUR FIRST AND FOREMOST FORM OF INCOME; TOURISM ---
OR DO WHAT DONNA FRYE WANTED TO DO: ADD A 1/2 CENT SALES TAX AND KEEP OUR LIFESTYLE IN TACT.
DUE TO THE BULLSHIT CAMPAIGN, YOU CAN GUESS, SANDER'S IS NOW THE MAYOR. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE PENSION FRAUD FIASCO WILL BE CLOSE TO 2 BILLION DOLLARS. NOW SANDERS HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS MONEY WILL COME FROM.
HACKETT COULD NOT STAY IN A RACE UNLESS HE HAD THE BACKING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IF NOT IN DOLLARS, IN GOOD-WILL.
WHEN I RECEIVED AN EMAIL YESTERDAY FROM THE DEMS, ASKING ME FOR YET ANOTHER DONATION I WROTE THE FOLLOWING:Today I received another email asking me to contribute to my party, the Democrat's. I have to say, I will not give another dime to this political party. Why? I am disgusted with the advice given to Paul Hackett to pull out of the Ohio race for Senator.
Hackett is exactly the type of person the Dems need to pull us out of the dregs of the political world, he has integrity, honesty and contains the vital, life-blood that our party so desperately needs.
Is it because of Hackett's ability to lead the state of Ohio out of the dark ages that he was advised by a couple of morons to step aside so someone with less of a spine can perhaps win a much needed seat in the Senate? Or are you trying to hand another election over to the despicable Republican's?
Are you people insane or did you just go off your meds for the past few years?
Democrat's across America are outraged that such a fine man is being passed over and unceremoniously abandoned by his own people.
Shame on you, you are supposed to be the solution not the problem.
You can send them your own nasty gram:
