In the Enquirer’s endorsement of Bruce Lunsford in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, the paper took a shot at Greg Fischer’s “maddeningly vague” policies:
“His strong suits are his appeal for integrity, collaboration and reforms that help people, but he’s sometimes short on specifics – maddeningly vague, in fact. His idea of a policy solution is to “set a noble goal and move toward that goal.” Well, of course.
Ouch.

no one seems to get it…mike cassaro is going to win the primary…he just received a grant/donation for $5 million if he wins the primary. This is just the start of the funds and resources he will be granted to defeat mitch mcconnell in the general (there is proof). The check has been seen personally by myself and three others. The donor will remain private for now. If you guys only knew what was really going on “behind the curtain”…the truth would scare you…Lunsford and Fischer know this, know everything…some things are true weather you see them or not…

Uh, smoked much crack lately? This is the most hilarious comment EVER.
(And for the record: The maximum contribution a candidate may receive in the general election is $2,300.)

(for the record) i am aware…a contribution to a campaign/candidate is seperate from a contribution to an individual. Like paid time off from work, in order to campaign efficiently?? And mean personal comments are not nescessary, I do not smoke crack…I was just stating what I received in an email…

Anyone who thinks Michael Cassaro could win an election for dog catcher– let alone a Senate primary– is smoking crack. The man is polling in the 2-3% range and he’s being investigated by the Department of Labor now that former employees have filed complaints.
If Cassaro receives money that will be used for the purposes of campaigning, that’s a contribution. No matter where it comes from or how he gets it, it has to be reported. So if you’re suggesting that someone gave Michael Cassaro millions of dollars (fat chance) to run his campaign that has one more day left, prove it.
Receiving paid time off is a contribution. Receiving a loan to campaign is a contribution. So much as receiving free tickets to an event (that charges for entrance) where a candidate could campaign is a contribution.

Based on the negative coverage Fischer’s campaign has received here, I thought some readers may like to see a different perspective. Here is my friend’s viewpoint from inside the campaign: http://www.gregfischer.com/index.php/blog

Because information from a paid campaign staffer is wholly objective. Riiight.

Thank you for making my point.

all the fischer blog is is total bullshit what is the dysfunctional spaz josh mather wrihting

I don’t think it’s appropriate to call Josh Mather a spaz. Me a spaz? Maybe. The campaign in general? Definitely. But no personal attacks– even if they’re fitting. E.G., calling me swishy is something only Joe Sonka gets away with.
I’m all for attacking people if they’re candidates and make the very personal decision to run for office. But not if they’re everyday folks in everyday life– unless they’re screwing people over. Like a certain unnamed campaign manager I’ve been known to mention.

I have heard from a number of people that Fischer’s supporters are openly mean spirited to Lunsfords supporters.
