Democrats slam Hasner TV ad, release their own video
by Andrew Abramson | September 18th, 2012Less than two hours after The Palm Beach Post posted Republican Adam Hasner’s first congressional TV ad, the Florida Democratic Party struck back with their own video and criticism of Hasner’s claims.
In the ad, Hasner says, “we can’t afford typical politicians… who raise their pay without doing their jobs,” and said, “I’ll never accept a pay increase or congressional pension.”
The Democrats, who are backing Lois Frankel, pointed out that while Hasner was in the state house, he supported the 2003-04 budget which contained a 2.5 percent salary raise for himself. The Democrats, who listed various “fact checks” in today’s news release, said Hasner will benefit from the Florida State Pension system by receiving an amount less than $5,000 at age 65. The Democrats also said Hasner was reimbursed $40,000 for in-state airline travel from November 2004 to April 2010 despite his claims that he will turn down perks.

Tea party is fascism. Government, Industry and media, Republican Party, the Chamber of Commerce and Fox News. Romney says half the population is on government assistance and lazy, Folks, that includes Social Security, Military Pensions, Medicare and Tricare. They are coming for you friend.

Frankel’s big mouth will be her own demise. Give her alot of time to talk- she’ll screw herself. She’s a pig and given enough time- she will reflect it- we had plenty of her holier-than-thou attitude just as a mayor-anyting farhter up the ladder would be a dis-service to the citizens. We’ve already been down that road.

Just more of the same B.S. The amazing thing is that when they contradict themselves they have no regrets and Hasner is the perfect example. Guess I will have to hold my nose and vote for Lois. All politicians lie, some more than others. The Republicons seem to have perfected lying. Hasner is the perfect example. The Tea party. A bunch of ignoramuses that are to stupid to know that they are doing the bidding of the rich!

Tea Party=losers
They want less government and work people to work until they drop dead b/c they want to reduce/eliminate Social Security benefits. They want to return to the days of the ‘founding fathers’? Wake up, it’s 2012 and that type of government doesn’t work now. The founding principles still hold true; but times have changed and this country has evolved. I guess all the Tea Party women members want to give up their right to vote. HAHAHAHAHA
