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

We need the fairtax, that would solve a lot of problems in Washington, and get rid of all the lobbiests that have made this hig business with loads of mismanaged funds to get elected, Our constitution was written over 100 years ago, and still is the best document our govt should follow instead of making up there own rules, we need to have limited terms as was written, to save the greed that is now rampant in Washington, the thing that they forget is they work for us not, them making up whatever they want us to have or have not

The Democrats killed Medicare Advantage to pay for Obamacare. If you hate your Medicare coverage vote for Lois.

I think the questions were good and the moderator did a good job.
LOIS WON the debate on substance and her legal smarts!
LOIS WILL BE A FABULOUS addition to CONGRESS and will work hard as she has done as a hardworking public servant for many many years. Hasner is NOT a viable candidate and could never work as hard as LOIS will for her constituents. GO LOIS FRANKEL TO CONGRESS!!!

I’m not a Republican. I am not stupid. Voting for Lois Frankel is like voting for the worst scumbag on earth. She belongs in prison and if there is justice she will be there soon.

You can tell how badly the Republicans are LOSING by the degree of hyperventilation in their rhetoric.

“Lois is a good person but wrong for the district” = Hasner is winning (note that we don’t hear this one at all)

“Lois put WPB in debt” = Hasner starting to get nervous

“Lois should be in jail” = Hasner seeing it slip away

“Lois is the devil” = Hasner is toast

LOL @ GOP!

GOTV Dems! Volunteer this week or next! Get involved! There’s a lot of us working on the various campaigns, contact any of the campaigns today and join us in moving forward with MORE of the CHANGE that this country (still) needs and will never ever ever get with Republicans mucking everything up!

Come on! Lois Frankel is all about what she wants. She would make a deal with the devil if the terms were in her favor. And trust me the devil would be the loser in that deal. Too bad she didn’t advocate for her constituents the way she advocates for herself and what she wants. She says she is on our side, but nope…it’s all about what Lois wants and the people be darned. Jobs for good friends, $74,000 a year for a part time job, an art major doing a construction/ archetectural project, really? An office with a marble bath inside, really? A homeless shelter in the northend of WPB—helps to get PB County votes when you don’t put it in the rich people’s backyards, really? Really- just go, far far away—please.

Florida Guest,

She’s running for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Do try and keep up.

Moishe,

What are you six years old?

You are the perfect example of a Republican in the year 2012. You people will say ANYTHING regardless of how true, how abusive, how disgusting.

Seriously, America needs solutions to our problems. Not pathetic whiners saying that this person or that person should “be in jail”. Although, to be honest, if there is any FL politician who truly does belong in jail it is obviously Rick Scott for defrauding Medicare as HCA CEO. But Rick Scott is the governmor now and I think that most decent people will vote him out for no other reason than the fact that he is hands down one of the worst governors in the country.

Lois is a shameless liar and a bully. If she is elected it will prove Democrats will vote for a horse theft as long as they are registered as a Democrat.

I will take a little corruption anyday with Lois in order to avoid the election of this tea party piece of garbage. If Romney and his running dogs are elected. this country is finished. The rich will get everying and everybody else will starve. Listen to Romney’s speech he gave to his billinoaire friends where he wrote off 47% of the population. Today, this liar says he supports 100% of the people.
You know what he that his piece of gargabe plan for them if elected.

If you have Medicare Advantage,,the Democrats Obama and Nelson killed it for you starting next year. Vote their butts out..and Frankel is as crooked as they come.

She deserves to lose and will lose. People from WPB know what a horror this women is and how she crippled the city.

I have to laugh that LOLO said she wasn’t running when she took the $20,000 campaign donation (payola). She ran for governor in 2004, oops—SAID she was running for governor, got campaign war chest of over $300,000 which isn’t much for gubernatorial race, but when you quit and run for mayor of West Palm Beach, it is A LOT of money. She beat her opponent and ran the city into the ground. FACT: Lois is always running, and FACT: she would never give up a pension or any perk. Ever. Even if she says she’s on our side, in the words of Joe Biden. MALARKY.

Lois is not gonna get much votes from wpb residents she did not leave this place vibrate and beautiful as she says. This place not as beautiful as she says, crime rates are high. when she was mayor she just working on the exterior of things so it seemed beautiful here and not the interior and kept screwing the city workers such as Police officers and fire figthers the people that would actually keep this place safe and vibrient.

Lois is certainly devoted to taking as much taxpayer money as possible to feed her special interest buddies. Lois won on substance — now that’s funny. Do people comprehend what they hear?

I think the questioners and moderator did a good job.
I think Lois won the debate on substance.
She said she trusts women — and we trust Lois to do a great job for us in Congress, just as she has as a hardworking public servant for many years. I have never known anyone who works harder or is more devoted to her constituents.

Lois…give it up. She considers herself an entitled politician. She hasn’t offered any program, just slanderous lies against her opponent who ever it is.

If she loses I’m afraid she surface next trying to get on the County Commissioner “gravy train.”

Do us a favor Lois, Go to pasture…………………

Wow what a dilemma! On the one hand, we have a crooked corrupt politician like Lois Frankel, the ultimate pay to play insider, on the other hand, we have a status quo Republican who would do anything to win an election.

And we wonder why people don’t vote. Surely we can do better than this garbage?

By: Try looking around

Try looking around — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:22:57 +0000

All you need to know about Lois Frankel, you can learn by just looking at the fiscal mess she left in WPB. It’s been very well documented, even in the Post. If you don’t understand that, then vote for her. One more bottom feeder in Congress won’t make much difference once the country is broke.

If a moderate Republican was running who did not want to take away abortions rights, make us a voucher society and support obamacare they would win easily.
Frankel is a liar, a rude jerk who once in office changes like Jekyll & Hyde – but Hasner proved to be a follower, not a leader, a guy who will put in Mitt’s vouchers and screw every poor person he can.
this race is not even worth voting in.

Lois “Digital Domain” Frankel is the queen of special interests. The thought of her representing PBC “Corruption County” in the U.S. Congress is worthy of a Halloween horror flick.

“Stealing” said:

“why not just SAVE it for future Medicare members?!”

That is exactly what he did.

Obamacare SAVED that money from being wasted. It’s like he just gave the Medicare program a massive discount. Those dollars were going to insurance companies and not providing care to seniors.

So Obama and the Democrats — including Bill Nelson in the Senate — did exactly what you suggest they should. They reduced the cost of Medicare, and by doing that they extended the life of the program by EIGHT YEARS.

I really wish people out there would read up on the right wing lie about Obamacare.

This from Politifact, absolutely NAILING Paul Ryan, the architect of the right wing scheme to end the Medicare guarantee, for this same falsehood:

“”"Ryan said Obama “funneled” $716 billion out of Medicare “at the expense of the elderly.” This gives a very misleading impression.

In fact, the law limits payments to health care providers and insurers to try to reduce the rapid growth of future Medicare spending. Lawmakers said they hoped the measures would improve care and efficiency. Those savings, spread out over the next 10 years, are then used to offset costs created by the law (especially coverage for the uninsured) so that the overall law doesn’t add to the deficit. Ryan’s statement is exaggerated and we rate it MOSTLY FALSE.”"”

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/aug/29/paul-ryan/paul-ryan-said-president-obama-funneled-716-billio/

Go read it yourself, “Stealing” and maybe next time do a Google search on the issues so you know what you’re talking about and aren’t misleading or lying to our Greatest Generation of Senior Citizens!

@Janet, are you really that uninformed? The Ryan plan does not affect seniors in any way, shape or form. Read it, instead of listening partisan hacks like Lois.

I was very impressed with Lois Frankel’s command of issues and the strenth she showed in not allowing her opponent to “bully her” with half truths and attempts to have her agree to some bogus pledge agreeing to term limits and not taking a congressional pension–sounds to me like he thinks she is winning and wants her to limit herself in ways that bebefit him. This man needs to get a grip on reality—he can not continue to act as though he is not comitted to the Ryan plan and all its dire effects on seniors.
