Thanks for your sharing. Two things I like about the post, one it is straight forward and two it does not attempt to promote anyone’s position particularly. I appreciate you sharing this with the rest of us Andrew.

Hasner spoke about what he will do, what should be done, and he had, it seemed, specific plans for doing things.

Frankel basicaly said, “don’t vote for him…he’s not me”. Thank you Lois. Well said…and we WILL act on it.

Bet Lois gets “sick” before the next debate. She can’t survive head to head against Hasner. Today district 22 saw the difference between the 2 and wow was it obvious Frankel would be confused and lost in DC just like she was at the Forum Club today. Sad to see someone who has been in the arena for so long fall so far so fast. She just doesn’t have what it takes anymore.

Hasner knocked it out of the park at the Forum Club. Lois gave no specifics and was very flustered. Hasner was very specific about what he will do. Lois did not say anything specific. Just a lot of generalizations. I will support Hasner after today. If you did not attend todays event, I sugggest you get a copy as it was video’d. It will clearly show you who the better candidate is hands down.

The only advantage that I can see to sending Loud-Mouth Lois to Washington, is that she wouldn’t be hanging out very much in Palm Beach County anymore. LOL

Hasner fostered “compromise” in the FL House?
There’s no compromise there. The veto-proof GOP majority just rams through whatever they want, after they get their marching orders from Associated Industries and the Christian Right.

Even the comments are riddle with comments from Frankel’s campaign workers. Unfortunately, she has a robotic following that looks for her to pave the way with ear marks, hollow promises and over spending. Palm Beach, you cannot take her seiously as a U.S. Representative. To the Palm Beach Post, your credibility is almost gone. Stop with the commentary and start reporting the news. We should cut off all foreign aid and find out who are our real friends.

I also attended today’s forum club luncheon, and unlike WPB resident, I was unimpressed by Frankel. When asked about divisiveness in today’s political campaigns Frankel was quick to blame corporate America funding “shady” PAC’s; however she failed to recognize that her own opening remarks attacking Mr. Hasenr’s support of the Ryan plan promulgated divisiveness. Unlike WPB resident, I did not hear any plans or specifics from Frankel, nor did I hear her give any straight answers to questions from the audience. Mr. Hasner did provide examples of bipartisan leadership, he did outline a plan for his tenure in congress, and he also reiterated that he would not accept raises, a congressional pension, and that he would voluntarily term limit his stint in congress. Mr. Hasner was polished and professional as compared to Frankel, and he also demonstrated decisiveness when asked about foreign aid to Middle Eastern countries that attack sovereign soil. Mr. Hasner stated that he would immediately cut off American funding to countries not supporting American ideals. Shockingly, Frankel’s answer was to continue funding such countries for the sole purpose of maintaining “leverage”. Perhaps Frankel and other politicians with similar mindsets should tour America and speak to their hungry, hurting and out of work constituency and explain to them why American tax dollars are better spent for political leverage overseas than for helping Americans at home.

Irregardless of you’re political leanings, you really should educate youreself before making ignorant statements. Digital Domain a scam? how so? please give us some details not just blanket statements.
For all intensive purposes, lets just say it was a tax scam. How exactly did DD scam anyone by not, I repeat NOT building a school in WPB? I suppose you’re messiah Hasner would never want to bring new tecknogoly to his city huh? Please do us all a favor and go back to school….maybe you’le learn something!

What was painfully, almost embarrassingly evident at today’s luncheon was that Adam Hasner is so much better equipped and prepared to represent So. Florida in the US Congress!
Mr. Hasner answered questions articulately and specifically while Ms Frankel could only offer obscure stories that barely related to the questions being asked. For example, when asked how each would work across the aisle to come to compromise in Washington, Mr Hasner rattled off a list of specific accomplishments as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives arriving successfully at compromise during some very difficult budget years, while Ms Frankel could apparently only discuss meeting with people at the grocery store and reaching across the aisle there…
Mr Hasner: God Bless & God Speed! You’ve got my vote!

Frankel supported Digital Domain’s budget. In fact, she liked it so much she used your tax money to support their scam.

I attended today’s luncheon and was very impressed with the specifics Lois Frankel gave about what she supports and plans to do when she represents us in Congress. I was not impressed with Mr. Hasner’s positions that seem to be the same as Romney — putting the burden of balancing the budget and reducing the deficit on the middle class while the rich go their merry way. I also agree with Ms. Frankel that foreign aid is an important part of very complex foreign policies that should be carefully considered and not just treated in a reactionary way that can hurt our longterm interests. I’ve decided to vote for Lois Frankel.

Who’s Hasner running against? Frankel? Or Hamas?
