Lamont calls the ad misleading. The Hartford Courant, citing state labor statistics, reports that employment grew in Stamford during the late 1990s and peaked in 2000, but the city has since lost more than 13,000 jobs.”
FLORIDA: Two donors to then-Republican Gov. Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign “have filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all contributors who are demanding their money back after Crist announced he’d run as an Independent,” Naples News reports. “The two are represented by Rep.

Raul Labrador, still working to prove himself to national Republicans after winning an upset victory for his party's nomination, is backtracking on comments he made during the primary campaign criticizing House Republican Leader John Boehner,” Politico writes. At a March rally, while he was still the underdog in the race, Labrador said, “"The problem is that John Boehner and the establishment in Washington D.C. failed us a few years back. That's why we have Obama and a Democratic Congress right now.” (Did he really say Democrat-IC?)

I figured this would happen. When Crist made it clear he was not beholden to the traditional Republican interests, they dumped him. Now, they want their money back so they can buy the next corporate puppet oligarch.
Pseudo intellectual and limpwristed conservative crybaby Uncle Tom Alan Keyes is really helpful to us Democrats as he makes a fool out of himself and his party of sore losers and liars by faking ads for Scary Sharry Angle, the Teahadist Paliban nutcase. Not much of an ad if all he's got is to call Harry Reid a Socialist, but then that's all the dopes of nope have is calling Democrats Socialists. Better a Socialist than a Clueless Conservative Moron.
Awww do the limpwristed conservative crybabies want their money back from Chuckles Crist? As they say a fool and his money soon go separate ways and tough luck fools of faith you gave the money as a donation and there's no tap back rule here. Kiss your worthless money goodbye Florida dopes of nope, Ha Ha!
You are so right Eric. They did not call "takebacks" when they donated. As such, they are now barred from collecting their money back.
Keyes? Helpful? Not if you're trying to convince sane voters! Angle doesn't even want to EAT in the same establishment as Keyes! Whatta tool!!
I knew Alan Keyes back when he was an alcohol drinking, pot smoking D&D player, and he was Blindly Repub then and I am sure he has not changed his views much at all. He told us, clear back in the mid 80's, that he was being groomed for Republican Political Office as soon as he was done with his military stint. Apparently this is a Family Tradition for him as they have 'Contacts'....He was all for Unfettered Capitalism and Big Business control over the economy and that Dems were "Just plain losers". He was, I will give him credit for, being able to agree to disagree, so I have to give him that. However, I think he has morphed 'a bit' towards the harder, more Radical Right.
Neither Wikipedia's nor Answers.com's biographies of Keyes mention any military time. His father was in the military, but not him.
Whoa...I make GREAT APOLOGIES..I was making an assumption!!!! The Alan Keyes I knew was white. I just did the bio lookup myself, Dang, I am terribly wrong on which Mr Keyes and apologize to Him and to everyone on here.
Can the moderators please delete my above post concerning him??
Again, my greatest apologies to all!!
Good Lord, there's more than one? Maybe they were brothers from another mother!!
LOL Auntie, that was my thought when I looked at the bio and saw the pic...OMG, there is ANOTHER one??
