Comments on: Pelosi Contributes To Spratt Campaign http://www.fitsnews.com/2010/02/01/pelosi-contributes-to-spratt-campaign/ Politics, Sports and Pop Culture Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:44:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Enlightened Self Interest http://www.fitsnews.com/2010/02/01/pelosi-contributes-to-spratt-campaign/#comment-109507 Enlightened Self Interest Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:46:59 +0000 http://www.fitsnews.com/?p=39148#comment-109507 Spratt brings money, millions of dollars, to his district and South Carolina. We must have that money, money Mulvaney cannot match. Never forget that the area Spratt represents requires Shaw AFB as an anchor to avoid being an even more impoverished hellhole. All that is good in the area flows from the military investment there. South Carolina desperately needs military and government investment since the economic collapse destroyed thousands of manufacturing jobs that will never return. (Increased productivity makes many of them unnecessary.) I vote for whatever helps South Carolina in the competition with opposing states. Either WE get the money or THEY get the money. I want my taxes spent here. Spratt makes that happen. Spratt brings money, millions of dollars, to his district and South Carolina. We must have that money, money Mulvaney cannot match.

The liquor, the flights, the food. I heard that it was 2.2 million on food and liquor alone! That is more than 1/10th the amount that the United Nations sent to Haiti!

Not a lot of actual votes represented by those out of state UNIONS, businesses and PAC's either. So I would say the fact that he has more money in his campain fund than Mulvaney doesn't mean a lot at this point. Now paying those so-called NAACP (and other) "haulers" on election day with those out of state funds, that's a different matter.

Glad you now agree that this is a competitive race. Welcome aboard. 2. The $39,000 raised from "folks not named Mulvaney" is triple the $11,650 Spratt raised from folks not named "Political Committees" York County Native,

Two points:

1. Glad you now agree that this is a competitive race. Welcome aboard.

2. The $39,000 raised from “folks not named Mulvaney” is triple the $11,650 Spratt raised from folks not named “Political Committees”

If you can be bought for that much, you obviously think anybody can be bought for that much. Feel sorry for you. It’s $4,000 in an election that’s going to be six figures.

You failed to mention that in his first quarter in 2006, Norman had already tapped a lot of conservative PAC groups and the PACs from GOP House members. Mulvaney hasn't had that opportunity yet. Besides, if you haven't noticed that 2010 isn't 2006 -- especially in the real estate industry from which both Norman and Mulvaney count a lot of supporters --- then you aren't paying attention. Lower contributions should be expected across the board. York Native: Your points are accurate…almost.

Plus, Sprat had the full quarter; Mulvaney had about 45 days. Looks like Spratt is going to depend on 1) PACs and 2) Pork to buy this election.
