No Answer From Kratovil-Harris On Question But Harris Will Take My Money

So it's almost a month later, neither Harris of Kratovil have responded to my numerous emails asking which one of them is lying in their political ads. I for one find that very odd, and very interesting, are both of them lying? When I was a kid and my mother asked me if had done something and I hadn't I spilled my guts like Jimmy 6 toes ratting out the mob! These 2 are going at it like 2 little boys, figured one would fess up. Sent both of them this little note,


Was curious where to send donations, a mailing address? Thanks.

Heard back from Harris camp in 41 minutes!

Hello,
We received your inquiry about where to send a donation to Andy Harris's campaign. First of all, THANK YOU for your support!

Second of all, you can send it to the following address:
Andy Harris for Congress
P.O. Box 1527
Annapolis, MD 21404

Thank you very much. If you have any questions or would like any information, feel free to give us a call at (410) 609-3829.

I suppose I need to call him if I'm not communicating with my checkbook. At least Harris responded?

Kratovil-Harris Ingnoring A Constituent, and Political Ads Are Repulsive

Email I sent to Harris-Kratovil, still no answer to my original question, and these ads are ridiculous.

Enough with the commercials guys, especially the ones you didn't do. Make sure the winner does something abut this unending money flow for commercials, it's ridiculous!

Neither of you are going to respond to me about the question I asked about which one of you is lying about the 23% sales tax? Interesting that constituent questions mean absolutely nothing to you both, thanks.

Political Ads and Maryland Politics

Who gets my first email about all the political ads on TV? I wanted to get rid of cable, just go with analog, but I lost a family vote, curses! Kind of glad I lost, network TV is one long political ad, and I think they are all lying. One candidate is running on their accomplishments, Barbara Milkulski, but she's been in office for 100 years, running against a guy that made a commercial that looked like the show crocodile hunter. Eric Wargotz said he considers himself a "constitutional conservative" and an "Old Testament kind of guy."

OK, what's the big difference, is this the change having to do with how much money can be donated? That needs to be changed tomorrow if this is the result. I've seen the one gubernatorial ad at lest 15 times today, and I don't watch anything during the day, and that's not the only one I've seen. All of them are contradicting each other, someone is lying! WBAL says Kratovil changed his ad, told the truth, kind of, lies of omission, I wouldn't know, neither Harris or Kratovil have returned my emails. Don't forget there are 2 other people running, Libertarian Dr Richard Davis, and Independent Jack Wilson.

I Think I Emailed Kratovil?

Seems I was sending my email to Frank Kratovil to the wrong spot! I apologize for the error, already received an automated response. But was it an error? I think one is his office page, the other his election page? Either way, it has been sent to both!

Sex at the Rec Center, and Harris-Kratovil Still Not Responding To My Question

It was another beautiful day here, took my chair and went to the park, met a friend and sat. We had a good time, talked about our thoughts on life, had a few laughs. Time to head home I have to go past that little parking lot I had the problem with the other day and of course there's a car parked there again. They weren't in a handicapped spot, they were just having a sexual encounter in the middle of the day, FYI, your windows aren't that tinted!

Resent my emails to Harris-Kratovil today, still no answer. This is what I sent.

Sent to Kratovil, cc'd to Harris

I am resending this question as I have not yet heard any response, I look forward to your response.

Andy

I saw one of your ads last night, it claimed Harris is in favor of
raising the sales tax to, or by 23%. My question is when did he say it,
in what context, and where can I find it? I eagerly await your answer.

Andy

Sent to Harris, cc'd to Kratovil

I am resending this question as I have not yet heard any response, I look forward to your response.

Andy


I am trying to figure out an ad I saw last night, it was a Kratovil ad
claiming you were in favor of raising the sales tax to, or by 23% . My
question is did you say it, or do you know what the Kratovil camp is
talking about? I eagerly await your answer.

Andy


Once again, you would think the one telling the truth would respond?

Harris-Kratovil Political Ads Are Lies, But Which One is Lying

I try not to do politics here, and this isn't intended to be one side or the other, but somebody is lying. Just saw a Kratovil ad that said his opponent Harris favors a 23% sales tax increase, even going as far as giving the Harris web address, so I went. Harris says it's not true, he never said it, it's a lie. OK, one them is telling the truth, one of them is in fact lying! That's just the tip of it, every contest has the same ads, we are in trouble.

Swank Day 8, Multiple Sclerosis, Elections

Man, my $1 crabs were out of this world last night, but the salt content made me feel like I had my period today! 285 and feeling good, but my body is still shaky. I don't know if other MSer's have the same effects when they try something new, but this is kicking my butt. I'm not sure if I feel good, or is it that I'm not sure what I'm feeling? Hm, good question me thinks, one I think I'm going to go with. This feeling is my body is healing itself, yeah, that's the ticket! Nothing to eat of note today, fruits, veggies, all good stuff, no tastykake pies, and just when the fall iced pies came out AND are on sale! It is a cruel world.

My LDN has been ordered, they are going to let me know how long it will take. It evidently isn't a drug that is kept in stock with many small pharmacies, so it has to be ordered in. I am really anxious to get started with it. I also realized today I need to finish up any narcotic meds I have laying around while they still work. Will they not work at all anymore? Will they work a little bit, it is only 3 mg I will be taking? Can anyone say binge?

Is it election day yet? Why can't we vote tomorrow and put an end to this fiasco? What is going to happen between now and November that is going to "decide" things for the people that aren't sure? Die hards are decided, party followers are decided. Right wingers are going to right wing, while left wingers are going to left wing. Abortion, no abortion. War, no war. Religious right, religious left. Are we going to have to hear about lipstick on pigs until the election, or are we smarter than that?

I Found A LDN Pharmacy, And How Much Experience Does A Presidential Candidate Need?

Are they making too much about the lack of experience Obama has on the one side and Palin has on the other? I think so, what does it really matter? Good or bad at what they do doesn't mean a thing, as long as they have the right people around them to tell them what to do. Did Truman drop the A-Bomb on his own, or did he have advisers to, well to advise him? Did Kennedy figure out how to go to the moon on his own? Saturday Night Live did a skit one time about Reagan. He bumbled around the oval office until it was only staff, then he did all the work as his advisers coward and worried about what to do.

The pilot and copilot of each team have one job at this point, get elected. That's what these conventions are all about, gamesmanship. It's not a question of if they can do the job, it's all about who is the most likable. Obama's team was coming off of their conclave on a roll. They said the right things, had the right people, wore the right buttons. Then today McCain's team made a left handed bank shot. They gave the women someone to vote for in place of Clinton and someone right enough to make McCain look not so left. Who cares if she only has a few months more experience then me? The R's stole the D's thunder and momentum today, well played!

I also had a productive day. I went up to Kaye's Pharmacy on Belair Rd to find out if they could compound LDN for me I have heard how hard it was to find a place to have the medicine made up. I hope this is a sign of things to come. Kaye's not only does it, they can do it in any dosage the doctor prescribes, and it's covered by insurance! Swish and swish! Now all I have to do is find a doctor to write me a script. I go on Tuesday to my primary, keep your fingers crossed and I may be cured by Wednesday of next week!

Bush Plays Politics With Our Pocketbooks.

I said the other day I was shocked to side with the President on any issue and that I wouldn't be surprised to be right back here talking about him in a few days. Guess what? I'm back! Bush today, in a purely political move, lifted an executive order banning offshore oil drilling. He said he did it to help the average Joe make ends meet. Oh Bite me! He did it to make it look like the Democratic controlled congress was trying to keep a foot on the throat of America by not changing the law prohibiting offshore drilling. By doing so I guess the thinking is the average American is supposed to say, "Hey, the Republicans tried, I'm voting Republican!" The problem is they are probably right.

You cannot rationalize, on paper or otherwise, that our president is any smarter then the average American. If you have had the opportunity to meet many people, you will know what a scary thought that is. He has no cares for me, he proved that with his holier than thou stand on stem cell research. He has used the argument that it may take several years to realize any gas from offshore drilling, but the longer we wait, the longer it will take to get the gas. Sucks, don't it? That's the same thing I thought about stem cells while I watched my body atrophy and digest itself, all the while knowing you did it because of your strong beliefs. I wonder if one of the twins was an MS'er if his beliefs would change.

He can't blame the Democrats for the original ban, it was a Republican who thought it was important enough to sign the original order banning the drilling. What was that chaps name? Oh yeah, it was Daddy Bush. That should make interesting Thanksgiving dinner conversation! Seems the President is making a habit of not following his father, first Iraq, now this.

I'm sure this will become a major issue in the election, with each candidate having opposite views on offshore drilling. Do you think that's why McCain changed his mind and is now in favor of it? It doesn't matter, by the time the election is here both the stars will probably flip on this, and many other issue. Take the money the government will sink into everything offshore, the 300 billion, with a B, that the feds want to give the mortgage guys, and all the money spent on the 2008 Presidential race and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I bet we could have a viable electric car for the average Joe to drive?

How Much Does It Cost To Be President?

Man, they have sunk some coin into the quest to be the next President of the United States. How much does it cost to buy, I mean to win that gig? They have been running for 3 years, haven't they? I can't remember another election that has taken so long. Did they start earlier this time? They haven't even gotten started with the real nasty things yet! Both sides are guilty, so don't give me any of that my team is better then your team crap!

I saw that McCain raised 22 million dollars last month. May ask for what? In a month? If he needs to spend all that money to win, he is going to have a hard time being on a budget! Everything is so specialized now. Don't you wish we could go back to a time when you could just go someplace like Tate & McMann and have their ad guru, a guy name Stevens, throw a snappy ad together to woo public opinion your way. The problem is that now we have specialist that can figure these things out for us. I think what they specialize in is taking money! How much went to ads, and how much went to strategists?

I can hear the Democrats snickering about that, but they are not any better. They spent a ton of money in their primary, it did go down to the wire. Did they announce how much was spent up to this point? Why do I have a feeling I don't want to know? Can poor people run for office anymore? It is grotesque how much has been spent, and how much they will spend yet. Obama ask his people if they would give money to pay off Clinton's debt. He reminded them that if he hadn't won, he would have debt. Whaaaa? They spent millions on their campaigns they didn't have? Sounds like they both already thought they WERE President!

Isn't there something that can be done? Can't someone put a cap on how much is spent, and how long this whole mess goes on? The Spaniards have a good idea. They give the candidates a time frame to campaign, and a lump of cash to spend. I likes it! I see the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the men and women that are trying to convince me that they offer what I need. Let me tell ya what I need. I need someone to make my hall bathroom handicap accessible. I need a new side porch, but I need one that can be changed at a later date if I need a ramp. Unless either of these guys can offer me those things, I'm not terribly sure I have confidence in either one!
