Wine, cheese and six-shooters for Bunting?

Pasco County GOP Chairman Bill Bunting has a mutiny to fight against disaffected Republicans who say he  wrongly tried to kick them off the ballot, and a state committeeman race to pursue. But the leader of the state GOP's Second Amendment wing still has friends in the local gun-rights club.

Bay Buzz has learned the Second Amendment Club leaders are throwing a wine and cheese fund-raiser for Bunting at Fairhave Farms next Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m., according to an email by club leader John DiGaetano making the rounds today. No cost to attend, so mount up!

What does the Second Amendment Club have to do with electing someone for office anyway? This is sinking really low. Bunting can't get support from the GOP so he gets this measly club to alert the media!
Hey I got an idea Bunting, why don't you just go back to the Democrats, maybe they can raise a dollar or two.
Or how about the Friends of Nazis Club?

That's all he needs is more wine, isn't his judgment clouded enough already? The Griffin's should be ashamed of themselves for hosting this party for an absolutely evil man. Discernment is needed.

That's right Bunting and Associates, he needs more wine? Anyone who hosts a party or anything else for this Nazi really needs their judgement questioned. I think a reality check is in order here.

I'm sure Bill Bunting has done alot of good for your gun club. And it's good to see that he has friends. Because he's going to need them now more than ever. But what you don't seem to understand is that the facts are irrefutable. YOUR FRIEND GOT CAUGHT TRYING TO RIG AN ELECTION!! It can't be stated any clearer.
IT'S NOT LIES OR INNUENDO. IT'S FACTUAL AND PROVABLE. HE PUT THINGS IN WRITING.
HE LEFT A PAPER TRAIL & LOADS OF WITNESSES.
The republicans of Pasco do not want this man to sully their reputations any
longer. Or do you believe it should be tolerated and covered up. Should we go on as though it didn't happen? Shame on you if you answered yes.

I'm going to support Bill because there is a silent action for a U-Boat!
NOT!!! Bill is more American than any of you left wing winners and he will win because the few dozon of you don't matter.
Bill foe SCM and or chairman.

Working member of GOP!!!!!!!!!!!

11:38: Why don't you learn how to spell before you start adding your questionable opinion?
We're not stupid enough to think for a second that rigging an election is American. Go back to your Nazi U boat.
BTW: We are not the left and there's way more than a dozen of us!

[lenore]

WOW! "working member of GOP" what qualities do you demand from a SCM or chairman? INTEGRITY? HONESTY? FORTHRIGHTNESS? ETHICALNESS?
Obviously none of these matter to you.
You made a joke of why you're supporting Bill (something about a u-boat auction) but could you articulate an actual justification for still supporting him after everything that has been proven against him?

[Mary J.]

Bill Bunting sounds "defeated"! Pasco
County does not need this "Nazi"...Go
over to the Democrats, Bill...they need you.

I hear Bunting will not reveal his donors and is pocketing the donations instead of using them on his campaign. Any truth to this rumor?

Probably because the felon is not smart enough to keep his own records. I don't think he learned much in Rikers Island Prison. What goes in his pockets, stays in his pockets.

Nothing would surprise me about this guy. You either have a criminal mind or you don't. And he obviously does.
Is he really a convicted felon? He did time in Rikers?! Why is everyone so shocked at the tactics he takes to get what he wants.

Yes he did time in Rikers, thought everyone knew by now.

Here it is:

Bunting has had multiple arrests for criminal mischief, indecent exposure, burglary.
He spent five months at Rikers Island Penitentiary.
He has a life-sized tattoo of a .45-caliber pistol near his left shoulder blade.

Felons make great leaders:
1. They see what they want & they take it.
2. They're not afraid to step over the line. Societies boundries mean nothing
3. Tactics & methods that are taboo to normal citizens are acceptable.
4.They can keep order at meetings, through intimidation & bullying.
If your club is looking for results regardless of how they're achieved consider Bill Bunting to chair your club. He gets results (However he sees fit).

When is Buntings next campaign school? sounds like I can learn alot.

Democratic Candidate in waiting

[Stardust]

I understand Bill Bunting has money so why would anyone want to donate money to him. He is loaded.
And the Second Amendment Club is mostly Democrats. Just like Bill Bunting was when he first moved down here in 1989.
Sounds like club leader John DiGaetano,is Bill Bunting new Puppet man. Just pull those strings Bill, John will start jumping

[GOPChick]

9:19 - We're not shocked by the tactics he uses, we're shocked that the state party (Jim Greer) and Governor Charlie Crist endorse his tactics and stand behind him. Apparently they don't realize or don't care that they will lose Pasco to Obama and that the grassroots workers are leaving in droves. If they held a private ballot in the REC and only the members were allowed to vote (unlike the way it currently runs) this man would be voted out. But the people are afraid to cross him because who needs the hassle, it's easier just to become uninvolved and let the Democrats win. Maybe if that happens the GOP will wake up and new honest leadership can be put in place of the corrupt leadership we have now from the top down.

John DiGaetano is a puppet but there are no strings, he's a sock puppet. If you look from behind you'll find Bill's formerly tatooed arm stuffed up his backside. Bill got a masters degree in sock puppetry at Rikers Island and if you look behind Bill you'll see Jim Greer's pudgy arm up to the elbow. This ain't your grandma's puppet show.

[Pasco Girl]

The Felon Puppet Master and the Sock Puppet. lol
You have to be part of their little click of idiots to be included in any of their happenings. If you have a brain then you might as well hit the road.

Isn't Jim Greer queer?
Is it true that he also has a criminal record? That would explain things.

[Republican]

Will Bill's wife, Ann be mysteriously absent (again) from this money grabber?

If Ann had any dignity she would have already divorced him, but yes, we'll probably have another mysterious absence. They've supposedly been on vacation for two weeks but they're still in town. Just an excuse not to have to answer the phone and those pesky questions that have no real answers.

Why is it that every time I see this guy he's drinking wine. I went in the Republican office in Hudson and they even have corkscrews in there, two of them. Does someone have a little drinking problem? Sounds like Bill and his followers should lay off the wine and sober up.

[Stardust]

Why yes he has a drinking problem, he never takes off those sun glasses. He doesn't want anyone seeing the bags under his eyes.He must use a lot of kiwi fruit?
Ann divorce Bill lol she would lose out on all of that so call money Bill has?

I wonder if he'll attend his money grabber on Tuesday or if he'll still be on his phony vacation.
