Just how weird is Katherine Harris getting?

From <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/008006.php">Talking Points Memo</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> -- Josh Marshall first quotes the Orlando Sentinel:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris slogged through another political morass Saturday when she suggested that one of her most senior advisers had fed embarrassing information to the press.<br><br>Appearing at a gun show in Orlando, Harris said that Adam Goodman, her longtime media consultant, had told the St. Petersburg Times that he and chief strategist Ed Rollins were leaving the campaign.<br><br>The story, Harris said, was wrong.<br><br>"Ed is not leaving my campaign," the Longboat Key Republican said. "Ed Rollins is very committed to my campaign."<br><br>The two-term congresswoman, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, then accused Goodman of spreading the story.<br><br>"That article basically came from Adam," Harris said, "and it was not accurate."<br><br>Asked whether Goodman was still with the campaign, she said: "He is, is, uh . . . heh . . . no comment."<br><br>Harris' remarks were surprising, because Goodman has worked with Harris for years and is considered one of her closest advisers. The candidate's words became puzzling when Harris phoned the Orlando Sentinel an hour later with a different story.<br><br>She said Goodman was still with the campaign and said "it was wrong" of her to say he leaked information.<br><br>"I shouldn't have said that," she said.<br><br>Harris could not explain the change or make clear why she had first refused to say whether Goodman was still working with her.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"I don't even know," she said. "That is so not like me."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>He then add this, from the St. Petersburg Times:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>As Katherine Harris' rocky Senate campaign takes an increasingly evangelical Christian bent, her remaining top campaign staffers are preparing to jump ship.<br><br>Colleagues say Harris' closest confidante lately appears to be spiritual adviser Dale Burroughs, founder of the Biblical Heritage Institute in Bradenton.<br><br>"Dr. Dale," as she is known among campaign staffers, describes herself as a licensed clinical pastoral counselor who counsels in behavior temperament, career, crisis and disaster, among other things.<br><br>Burroughs has been advising Harris for years, but lately has had a more prominent role <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>as Harris stopped listening to other campaign advisers.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Burroughs said she has little role in the campaign beyond helping reach out to religious voters and is merely a Bible study partner and close friend.<br><br>Friends and advisers say Harris has been deeply religious all her life, but religion recently has become a central part of her campaign. Campaign staffers warily describe Harris as leading a "Christian crusade." . . .<br><br>Her top campaign advisers, having failed to persuade Harris to drop her struggling campaign against Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson, are preparing to leave. Those include Ed Rollins, a highly regarded GOP strategist and her top campaign adviser; Adam Goodman, her longtime Tampa-based media consultant; and campaign manager Jamie Miller.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I'm normally far from being the most tinfoil person on this board -- but in this case I really can't help wondering: Just who is pulling Harris's strings? Why can't she even explain her own behavior? And why is this all so reminiscent of people in the clutches of some mind-control cult or another?<br> <p></p><i></i>

Another side of Kathy

Cross-posted from "They are going out with a big bang" thread.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/03/can-you-feel-it-coming.html">cannonfire.blogspot.com/2...oming.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br>5. Katherine Harris is staying in the race. <br><br>Point five may not seem obviously connected to my larger argument. But think about it: Under normal political rules, the woman has zero chance of winning, and no reason whatsoever to waste ten million bucks of her own money. Yes, I know that she has plenty of other dough, thanks to her wealthy husband. Even so, let's be realistic: The rich do not get rich by tossing cash down the garbage disposal.<br><br>But Katherine Harris is on the inside. She knows what is coming. She knows that after Big Wedding II, all the normal political rules will no longer apply. Anyone in any race who happens to have an "R" next to his or her name will automatically win in the election held after the next strike.<br><br>How "inside" is Kathy? She and Jeb Bush endorsed a strange entity called "Florida Air," an airline which, so far as I can tell, rarely offered actual airline services to members of the general public. Like the Wilkes enterprises, this was a spooky company run by spooky individuals for spooky purposes. From Welcome to Terrorland, written by Daniel Hopsicker:<br><br>"The chief and, indeed, only accomplishment of Boehlke and Dekkers’ unsuccessful airline was that it provided a rationale for the presence on the tarmac of the Venice Airport of a half dozen British Aerospace Jetstreams poised within easy reach of Caribbean hot spots. Well, the airline did have one other accomplishment: It was publicly endorsed by then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris..."<br><br>Here's more, from Hopsicker's web site:<br><br>At the same time their planes were flying back and forth from Venezuela with illegal cargo Hilliard's charter service was also, unbelievably, being utilized at virtually no cost––despite the fact that rentals for Lear jets can run as high as $1,800 an hour––by Florida Governor Jeb Bush.<br><br>Even stranger, both Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris were providing celebrity endorsements to Hilliard's operation well after the company's Lear (N351WB) had been busted by DEA agents armed with machine guns.<br><br>Pretty poor advance work, at the very least...<br><br>One would think a sitting Governor seems well-advised to steer well clear of anything to do with heroin trafficking. Yet Governor Jeb Bush honored Hilliard's operation––called at various times Florida Air, Sunrise Airlines and Discover Air––with a personal visit, even posing for photos with the "Discover Air family."<br><br>The company promptly commemorated the memorable event by posting pictures of the visit on their website.<br><br>Finally somebody in the Bush camp realized their lethal potential exposure, and the webpage was hastily taken off the Discover Air site.<br>Think -- think real hard -- about the reason why any covert operator would set up a fake charter airline service. In Florida. <br><br>Do you really think that Kathy is going to spend $10 million dollars' worth of her daddy's money?<br><br>And do you really think that if IT happens before the election, she will lose?<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I wonder if the latest Diebold troubles made the GOP/CIA/CFR reconsider allowing a lightening rod for election fraud critics to become too prominent.<br><br>So Rollins and company gave mixed signals and left her gasping in wonder.<br><br>She's served her purpose and now might be more liability than benefit to getting away with the 2006 and 2008 election robberies. The game is getting harder and old players need to be replaced.<br><br>From 'lie-ability' to liability in the psy-ops game. <br>Buh-bye and here's a T-shirt and cup-holder.<br><br>And she was well on her way to Bible-dipping herself for that good old 'get out of jail free' card all the criminal born-agains use to transform their sins into a membership in the dominionist club.<br><br>Poor Katherine. Atleast she has her faith. lol. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=hughmanateewins>Hugh Manatee Wins</A> at: 3/26/06 5:36 pm<br></i>

In case you haven't kept up with Harris, she was basically thrown to the curb by the Republican Party and told not to run for Senate as the Republicans want their own person. <br><br>So basically they said "Thanks for 2000, but you can run along now."<br><br>She decided to defy them and run anyway, so she is running in a primary against the other Republicans from what I understand. And so she is reaching out to all of the fringes that she can, and that includes the Jesus Crispy fringe. She's hoping to become the candidate of the faithful and to eat into the base of the Republicans. <p>--<br>CyberChrist<br>http://www.hackerjournal.org<br>My brain is hung like a horse.</p><i></i>
