The holidays hit, and I’ve been slow getting back on the horse.

But I think CapitolInsider in comment 22 has been sufficiently called out. If you have some evidence that Sen. Smith is working with Matrix, now would be a good time to cough it up.

Not sure what the big deal would be… I know the stereotype of Matrix working with Dems, but they have been working with the minority coalition in the Senate (all the Republicans and a few Dems).

I’m going to agree with it being a lie about her using Matrix. It is no secret she uses Swinehart (or however you spell it).

The post about Harri Anne Smith working with Matrix is an out-and-out lie. I am willing to go on the record with Danny on that one. “CapitaolInsider” I am calling you a liar and you are one. Danny e-mail me and I will confirm this privately for you. That is a lie. Absoulute.

Harri Anne Smith will change colors to get elected. She has proven that. Just smile and tell everyone what they want to hear is her strategy. TAKE A STAND WILL YA!

Dear “Harri Anne is a conservative” ,
Everything I said is true. It won’t showup in the Dothan Eagle but it is true. By the way Hammrick (Matrix)is working with Harri Anne.

The remark above about Harri Anne Smith having once been “pro-choice” is a lie. Stuff like that is beneath contempt even on a political blog. If it is a supporter of Jay Love posting garbage ike that, I can tell where this campaign is headed. Does Jay have Joe Perkins working for him again? it sure smells like it.

She was not supportive of Everett in 92 and worked hard for a dem to win the seat.

Dear BS,
It is common knowledge that Harri Anne was a Democrat. She sat next to my business partner at a Jefferson Jackson Dinner(that is a Democrat Event) in 1997. She was pro choice at the time. She did change political parties before she ran for the Senate but she flirted with running as a Democrat. You can call it slander if you want but it is the truth. Her father was a huge Wallace supporter and very close to Wallace. And she bought into “their’s not a dime’s worth of difference between a Dem and a Repub”. But the group in my hometown convinced her she had to run as a Repub to win.

Love is a smart guy and would be dedicated to the job of US Representative. I can’t say the same for Smith. That pro choice statement about her is slander though – it is not true. She did id herself as a dem though – and at a time when most former dems in the area had switched to being Rs long. long ago. But she is a conservative i give her that. But so is Love. To say he would be influenced by liberal special interests in congress is ridiculous. those smith supporters that say such crap are full of just that…crap.

“Capital Insider” you are a bald-faced liar about Harri Anne Smith.. Take that back. I know Harri Anne Smith and she has NEVEDR repeat NEVER been anything but pro-life. That comment is a lie. Take that back.

This page is for comentary and lots of stuff goes back and forth. But that is a lie and libelous. You should be ashamed of yourself. And by the by, Harri Anne has NEVER run for office as anything but a Republican. Look it up.

Huh? – yes, openly hostile. Let’s look at Rep. Barbara Lee (D – 9th CA), Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

She (with Rep. Dellums) aided Cuban Communists and their agents before the US invasion of Grenada, where the US ending up fighting Cuban troops.

She was the only House member to vote ‘No’ on the resolution to use military force against the terrorists who attacked the US on 9/11.

Look at the records of these CPC members: Lynn Woolsey, Neil Abercrombie, Jim McDermott.

99% of the middle aged Republicans in this state were Democrats 20 years ago. Yes, that’s an exaggeration, but if Republicans purged all their former Democrats they’d be a small minority. What should matter is a candidates positions on the issues and the conviction and consistency with which they’ve fought for those positions.

I think comment #8 calls me a “Demo” even though I stated that I support the minority in the senate. Oh, I also support Bob Riley.
FWIW, I’ve never voted a straight ticket and probably never will.
I won’t vote for Harri Anne Smith either.

I will vote for Smith ten times before I vote for Love. You might as well give the Dem’s special interests a seat in Congress if Love is elected. He belongs in the State House, where his power can be minimized.
If I thought David Grimes was running, I would support him. But as of now, Harri Anne is the Republican’s best bet.
