Frankel, Hasner agree on two debates

by Andrew Abramson | September 13th, 2012

Adam Hasner and Lois Frankel have agreed to two Congressional debates leading up to the November election.

Hasner, a Republican former state house leader, and Frankel, a Democratic former state minority leader and West Palm Beach mayor, will face off Oct. 17 at 10:30 a.m. at The Palm Beach Post and Oct. 28 at 8:30 a.m. at CBS4 Miami.

The candidates jointly announced the debates and sent out statements.

“I look forward to giving the people of the 22nd District the opportunity to judge for themselves who has the better ideas to create jobs, protect women’s health, and strengthen Medicare and Social Security,” Frankel said in a statement.

“We offer two very different approaches to address America’s challenges, and I look forward to sharing my detailed ideas to fix Washington, create jobs and fuel a sustainable economic recovery,” Hasner said in a statement.

  1. Need new leadership Says:

    Frankel needs to retire to a place of her choice. She eats up new fresh democrats seeking to run for office, while keeping stale old in place.

    Time for change in our local democrat party. Time to stop running the same old faces and introduce and run new democrats.

    We have a failed democrat party in this county. They refuse to to allow new democrats an opportunity.

  2. Endorsements Says:

    Did the Palm Beach Post Times note the endorsements by the influential VOTER’S COALITION?

    They endorsed both democrats and republicans.

    Guess who received the endorsement from this group: ADAM HASNER, not Frankel.

  3. Endorsements Says:

    Here’s the endorsement

  4. Spilled Milk Says:

    Did you see where Bubba Clinton stumped Lois the other day?

  5. Monica Says:

    Lois hangs with that standard bearer of female respect Bubba Clinton. He really looked after Monica when she came to work in the White House. He’s disgusting, that was someone’s daughter!

  6. wonder???? Says:

    Wonder if Murphy will ever agree to a debate with West?

  7. paul Says:

    Omg. Let it go with the fake outrage over Clinton/Lewinski!! She was an adult, not a child. Clinton can bang whoever he wants, that makes no difference in my life. What made a difference is the budget surplus he left. Best president in decades, just for that. And by the way I don’t see where in the story Clinton was mentioned.

  8. GO LOIS! Says:

    Republicans hate Lois Frankel because she works for THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA.

    Republicans love Adam Hasner because he helps the plutocrats SCAM the people of Florida.

    That’s why anyone who cares about the state and our people will be voting for Lois in November.

    Simple as that.

    And by the way, if you need a “Voters Coalition” to tell you who to vote for, you have other issues that cannot be solved by any politician.

    GO LOIS!

    Looking forward to FINALLY being represented by someone who actually gives a damn about me, my family, and our future as a nation.

  9. Monica Says:

    Paul, typical liberal nonsense Never said she was a child. Fake outrage? No, real anger. His behavior was atrocious and unbecoming of a president, certainly one who said he respected women. If a Republican president did what he did with and to a young female intern he would have been burned at the stake by you and feminists everywhere.

    What good is a surplus when the White House is morally bankrupt and school kids think oral sex is no longer “sex” because the president said so?

  10. Harry Says:

    Since GOLOIS! sounds like one of Lois’ out of town campaign folks, let me explain that the Voters Coalition is the most important nonpartisan group in this area. Lois would have loved to have had their endorsement. A good many folks of the Democratic Party and independent persuasion take their endorsement very, very seriously.

  11. GO LOIS! Says:

    “A good many folks”

    Oh ok, I’m convinced.

    LMFAO!

    Lois is going to win. Sorry you hate the people of Florida and our bright future with new DEMOCRATIC leadership (Rick Scott — the worst thing to happen to this state since Jeb Bush — will be gone too BUH BYEEE!).

    Ellyn Bogdanoff — the Rick Scott rubber stamp — is going too.

    SEE YA! Wouldn’t wanna BEYA!

  12. Harry Says:

    GOLOIS!, I’m a Florida native and part time teacher, an independent who votes for the person, not the party. I’m a volunteer for Maria Sachs, voted for Obama, voted for Klein, voted for Rubio and voted against Rick Scott. You’ll find Politics is more complicated here than wherever you’re from.

    Welcome to Florida, enjoy your time here.

  13. susanwashere Says:

    Enough you guys. I’m looking forward to seeing these debates! So tired of press releases about extremists and liberals and tea party and old school democrats. Can’t wait to see Hasner and Frankel have at it. Talking about 2 different schools of thought. Is it true Hasner’s mom used to work for Lois? Only in Florida. Chads anyone? hahaha

  14. Debbie's Girl Says:

    Lois is the favorite of Debbie “The Wicked Witch of West Broward” Wasserman Shultz. Enough said. Vote for Hasner!

  15. bubba jones Says:

    How come all Democratic women are stone ugly?

  16. GO LOIS! Says:

    Harry,

    You voted for RUBIO???? LOL! OMFG.

    Now I know not to take you seriously.

    Thanks.

    Btw, I am nobody’s “campaign folks” just a citizen who is obviously a helluva lot more aware of what is going on in this country than you are, considering the fact that you voted for the dishonest empty suit plutocrat named Marco Rubio.

    If the Voters Coalition knew the first thing about what is happening in America they would endorse DEMOCRATS ONLY. Not the human slime that is your typical fill-in-the-blank GOP scumbag aka Adam “I am the only Pro-Life Jew in Existence” Hasbeen.

    I can’t wait for the debates when it becomes abundantly clear that Hasner hates modern women like the rest of the Teabag Republican Party.

    But I REALLY can’t wait until we wipe the ground with the idiotic Teabaggers and their current crop of clown show candidates.

  17. GO LOIS! Says:

    You know what Hasner uses as his pathetic excuse for his “Right-to-Life” conversion?

    HE SAW A SPEECH.

    That’s it. Not because of morals. Because of POLITICS. For real. Look it up.

    Has-been is just another Republican plutocrat opportunist looking to make a buck off the rubes.

    He is the Mitt Romney of FL-22 and he is going to be SOUNDLY defeated, especially since we’ve had to put up with 2 years of incoherent psychobabble and Faux Noise propagandizing from the chemically-unbalanced Allan West.

    Can’t wait for true representation in Lois Frankel.

    Can’t wait.

  18. Sandy Says:

    Lois Frankel did more to hurt WPB, and put this city in debt that taxpayers will be paying off for years. Frankel and Mitchell brought Digital Domain to WPB and look at that mess. She tried her best to be allowed to run a third time. She just can’t stand to lose power. Vote her in and she will mess up the state, let alone a city.

  19. Huh?! Says:

    Monica – With the record of people like Gingrich and Herman Cain just to name a couple do you *really* want to go down that path? Seriously? Maybe you should ask Aikin about that.

  20. GO LOIS! Says:

    Sandy,

    “mess up the state”? Um, hate to break it to you, after what the Republicans have done to Florida, there’s really nowhere to go but up.

    Election 2012 is like EVERY election a CHOICE between candidates.

    Do you want plutocrat/opportunist Hasner whose economic theory is more tax cuts for the rich and who flips on moral issues for nothing more than pure politics?

    Or do you want a populist who stands with the average citizen and defends women’s rights and critically important public investment in our horribly dilapidated infrastructure?

    Choose, but choose wisely. Because you’d have to be either brainwashed or plain old dumb to support the plutocrat over the populist.

  21. Downtown Danny Says:

    Worst choice in any election in history – like voting for Hitler or Mussolini.
    Frankel is a confirmed liar, corrupt to the core and will give every girl she’s ever had sex with a job on taxpayers cash.
    Hasner is a total scumbag who is Mitt Romney light – stupid as a rock and corrupt, willing to sell out to any right winger that comes along.
    Horrible.

  22. Elect honest leaders.... Says:

    It’s tough to imagine anyone who actually lived through the Frankel years in WPB, and paid any attention, actually voting for her.
    With few exceptions, she showed total disregard for fiscal sanity, or what the residents wanted or needed. Digital Domain is just the latest example. Before that we had the water works and the Open Sky Police Radio project. I might also mention the mess on the waterfront, that we’ll be paying off for the rest of our lives. Putting Lois Frankel in Washington would be one very expensive mistake.

  23. How to register as self employed Says:

    Useful Content, and for those considering working for themselves. Will post about your site in my Linkedin Group. Thanks again.

  24. FL Native Says:

    How can you endorse Lois Frankel after what she has done to the City of WPB? Look at the money she spent and the attitude in which she spent it. One main example, City Center – $200 million. Building is 60% empty. Another example would be her dreams, “To make West Palm Beach a mini Manhattan”. What a joke! Her dreams cost the taxpayers far too much and for what? Corruption, a disfunctional work force, and zero leadership as it relates to an organization.

  25. Ty Says:

    This past week, Trump offered to give $5 million to a charity of Obama’s choice if he releases his college and passport records. Obama responded by telling his own joke about him and Trump fighting while growing up in Kenya. http://www.bit.ly/WRFiT5
