Polls Are they Accurate
As a voter you are seeing alot of Polls from the Q to the Zogby and other trying to predict who is in the lead in the Connecticut Senate race.
You have your pick of any poll you wish and if you vote based on what the polls say then why even vote?
Its time for Connecticut Voters and Voters around the country in this midterm elction to ignore the polls and vote for who they believe will change things in Washington on and and after November 7th Nationwide Elections.
For example if you go by the Polls in Connecticut Lieberman is 17 points ahead of Lamont if you believe the Poll results.
The point is not to vote based on what the polls are projecting at all.
What were the questions they asked these folks on the phone which were prerecorded and which were live real people asking questions?
Your not voting on the phone but on November 7th your going to get out and really vote at your local school,etc .
You will walk in that voting booth and place the vote for the candidate that you believe will bring Progressive change to thing in Washington D.C. .
If you believe the War wrong as one of your issues will you vote for the incumbent who supports the stay the course or will you finally say enough is enough and vote this time to put not just someone new in the Senate and Congress but candidates with Progressive values who care about your concerns and issues.
So On November 7th show the pollsters that make there living trying to sway voter opinion that they are wrong and they can take there polls and throw them in the garbage once and for all where they truly belong.
Let yourself listen to what your candidates are saying in these last two weeks in debates ,rallies etc.
Then make your decision don't let the Q poll or any other poll make it for you if you are planning on voting based on polls then stay home and don't waste your time.
You the voters have a chance to channel your discontent with your Senators in the U.S. Senate who support Bush and the War by voting them out of office.
Get out and vote but vote for who you really want in thats the bottomline.
$387,000 Dollar Slush Money
Senator Lieberman has alot of explaining to do regarding this money$387,000 dollars .Voters want to know where it went and they have that right in a campaign that the FEC says they have to keep a book of this on record which the FEC can look at if they choose to .
Will keep you updated on this as more information comes out from the Connecticut Press and other major Blogs.
So here is the latest story provided by tparty on Lamont Blog here in Connecticut.
Lieberman Shifty on Slush Fund
(Update: over 2,500 people have already co-signed the campaign's letter to the FEC).They're dancing around this one, trying every technique in the book to get folks to stop asking where almost $400,000 in cold, hard cash went in 12 days before the primary.First, Lieberman spokeswoman Tammy Sun said she wasn't there when it happened:
Lieberman spokeswoman Tammy Sun said she wasn’t with the campaign at the time of the primary, but her understanding is that there was a staffer in charge of keeping track of petty cash. (NH Register, 10/22)Then she promised she'd produce the journal detailing petty cash expenditures - one that is required by FEC law:
She said the money was used to cover salaries, food, lodging and transportation for hundreds who were hired to do statewide canvassing. The daily rates ranged from $60 to $75 to $100 for the work, Sun said. She said she would attempt to find the petty cash report by Monday. (NH Register, 10/22)Then she was "unable to say" why the young workers who assumedly got all this cash weren't listed by name and salary in the FEC report, while their lodging and transportation was:
Sun was unable to say Saturday why the workers, some of whom appeared to have stayed for days or weeks in dormitories at the expense of the Lieberman campaign, were not listed by name and salary. (Courant, 10/22)Then she hid behind the campaign's lawyer:
"The fact is, our attorney has assured us that the petty cash expenditures and the rest of our FEC report is in full compliance with the law's disclosure requirements just as every campaign Joe Lieberman has run for the last 18 years has been." (AP, 10/23)Then she reversed herself, said the cash was not used to pay workers, but to pay field coordinators who then threw the cash around to kids:
Lieberman's campaign spokeswoman, Tammy Sun, said today the cash was paid to field coordinators who then distributed the money to workers who canvassed for the three-term incumbent, who's running as an independent candidate after his primary loss to Lamont in August. (Journal-Inquirer, 10/24)Then she reversed herself, and told reporters they couldn't see the petty cash journal:
Sun declined Monday to allow reporters to examine the campaign's petty cash journal. (Courant, 10/24)Now, despite promising reporters she would produce records of how almost $400,000 in cash was spent and then suddenly telling reporters they couldn't look at them, and despite still being "unable to say" why the slush fund even existed in the first place, she's calling the whole thing a "kooky conspiracy theory":
"We are in full compliance with the FEC’s disclosure requirements, have done nothing wrong, and there’s not a shred of evidence to suggest otherwise. We will not be going beyond the law to release the journal simply because Ned Lamont has some kooky conspiracy theory." (NH Register, 10/24)
