For the record, I support Free Pizza Fridays. Typical liberal redistributionist, I know.

Baby killing is over the line? I think not.

John McCain voted not once, but I believe three times to give over 65 million dollars of tax-payer money to Planned Parenthood. Just in the 2006-2007 period, Planned Parenthood performed over 289,000 abortions.

Perhaps you don’t consider someone who votes to give tax-payer money to Planned Parenthood a baby killer, but I do.

I’m here to call a spade a spade — even if that spade does happen to have an “R” by his name.

Nice try Dan. Grasping at straws at this point? You folks at Ellmore’s camp need to get better at your lies. All you are doing at this point is perpetuating them.

I received a mailer from Singh that is funny because they misrepresent a quote from the Washington Post.
“Singh represents traditional Republican values”
and the source is the Washington Post

When you pull up the article it turns out that it is Singh talking about himself to the reporter- NOT the opinion of the Washington Post as he has led the public to believe. That Singh is so sneaky

For the record, I wouldn’t vote for him either if it weren’t for the fact that there are going to be at least two supreme court openings within the next four years. This isn’t about making statements by voting or not voting. It’s about the entire future or our nation resting in this next election.

(All this is rhetorical, since I can’t vote anyway)

“BABY KILLING???”

Mr. Gentry, you are WAY over the line here.

Is it bad if Amit doesn’t vote for McCain? I’ve been a Republican my entire life and I’m not voting for the gun grabbing, baby killing, free speech trampling, give illegals amnesty John McCain.

Do you Republicans, like Ellmore, have absolutely no principle at all? Am I seriously expected to vote for a big-government socialist just because he happens to have an “R” by his name?

The days of big-government Republicanism are coming to an end….

Alright Mikey, I see where you’re coming from. But sometimes silence speaks louder than words. Supposing I accuse you of stealing a car. Let’s say you hear about it. If you don’t say anything, or if you don’t refute anything, I’m going to be even more suspicious than I was to start with. BTW, as an intern for Mark, I hereby deny that he wants military uniforms to be changed into clown suits

When the content is patently false it doesn’t even deserve to be addressed.

So what else does Amit need to take a public stand on? The need to lower the toxicity of pee pucks? Perhaps he needs to take a stand once and for all on steroids in baseball.

That flyer is full of lies, Darius. Not just mis-attribution of sources but out right lies. How is demanding Amit explain himself and clear himself of lies necessary?

The Ellmore campaign needs to explain why they are passing these off as fact!

This isn’t a way to run a campaign and it sure isn’t a way to win one.

Jason

If he has said they are baseless, could you post a link? All I’ve seen is that they are disputing the source or quote, not the content.

Why doesn’t the Singh campaign just say this:
“Contrary to the Ellmore piece, Amit has repeatedly stated his support for John McCain and intends to cast his vote for him this fall”? or “The allegations made in the Ellmore piece are false, Amit Singh does not support Ron Paul in disrupting the convention”?

Why are they not addressing the content?

The quote in the piece stated that Amit was with Ron Paul, who plans to disrupt the convention. Not that Amit himself was going to disrupt the convention.

I never said Amit personally wants to disrupt the convention, I said he comes from a branch of the party that wants to disrupt the convention. If Amit has a different view than the vast majority this branch, lets hear it.

Amit calls himself a Ron Paul Republican. Well, the vast majority of Ron Paul Republicans do not support McCain and have been working to get more speaking time for Ron Paul at the convention.

If there is an interview, video or audio of Amit stating his intent to vote for McCain or Amit condemning the actions of Ron Paul supporters disrupting the convention, feel free to post it
