Hackworth brings congressional campaign downtown

Dunedin Mayor Bob Hackworth came to downtown St. Petersburg tonight for a fundraiser with some local Democratic heavyweights. To see who was there, check out our sister blog, Bay Buzz.

We do Not need any more DINO's in Congress(Democrat In Name Only). I reject this Opportunistic Republican ploy.

Bob Hackworth changing his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat no more makes him a Democrat than a leopard changing his spots makes him a pussycat.

Bob Hackworth has been a Republican his entire life until very, very recently.

Samm Simpson is the only true Democrat in this race.

The republicans saw the writing on the wall, with three of the last three R Congressional seats going to Dems in recent elections. The thought (some say reality) of this trend continuing, even impacting “The Great and Powerful Wizard of Pork”, scares the hell out of them.

Samm may be off base on her approach at times, but she’s an honorable and courageous lady who’s built some name recognition and garnered 34% as a virtual nobody against CW “Pork” Young.

Linn is a narcissistic eccentric with money, who can cause trouble with enough money to out CW’s contributor payback motives, and punch some holes in that “perceived” teflon façade of his.

So, the R’s convinced the Hack to jump “in name only”... and try to disrupt the wave. If they are successful, and CW wins another term… he will retire mid-term, causing a Special Election, which traditionally favors the R’s. And there are several systemically trained R puppets waiting in the wings and vying for the R Party nod.

Read it, write it down, learn it, and know it to be true.

TD:
Do you know how many times you have made that statement? Trying to convince yourself?

Wow: three hits and there all by that big mouth Susan Smith of the hillsborough county executive committee. Do you harrass this much on your side of the bridge?
