Not that I hope he wins anything or that he will, I feel kind of bad for him. He did win the nomination fair and square and think he should stand his ground despite being a complete moron.

This is still a democracy afterall (lets hope) and he did clearly win the Primary. Hopefully this will wake up people out of their apathy. Sarah Palin should have been enough, but it can get just as bad as we see here.

Hopefully more people will pay attention or else our Government will be filled with Sarah Palins and Alvin Greenes. Thats not the kind of United States I want to live in.

this is silly. completely silly. beyond silly. this is something unreal.

In March, unemployed veteran Alvin Greene showed up at the Democratic party headquarters in Columbia, South Carolina, to register as a candidate for U.S. Senate. To pay the filing fee, he was bearing a personal check for $10,440 -- which he has insisted all along was his own money. But party Chairwoman Carol Fowler turned him away, saying he needed a campaign check.

TPMmuckraker has obtained from the party the "campaign" check that Greene, the man now being called a "plant" by Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), returned with several hours later. It is distinguished as a campaign check by the words "Alvin M. Greene for Senate" scribbled in pen in the upper left hand corner.

The memo line of the $10,440 check, from National Bank of South Carolina, reads only, "US Senate."

Check it out below:

This is hilarious...

You have to pay your political party to file as a member of that party? Do the fees very depending on the office you're running for?

It really is.

What is interesting: The majority of people are stupid and this was the Founding Fathers greatest fear which is why they did not let the People vote for the President initially. Thomas Jefferson must be rolling over in his grave.

I don't recall Alvin Greene, being a mayor or a governor. And, I'll take Palin over the buffoon currently sitting in the White House every day and TWICE on Sunday.

Isn't this guy facing felony charges too?

240 is Back · « **Reply #9 on:** June 11, 2010, 06:24:21 AM »

yeah, he's the prefect plant. An unemployed dude who shows up with $10k to run for office, with a handwritten check. Holds barely any meetings, can't recall anything about his campaign... then the day after he wins, all this info about his felony charge is released on cue.

1) It's hilarious and sad - nobody can deny that.

2) He's a plant -- you're a moron if you believe this guy did it on his own

What does that say, however, about the guy he BEAT?

More importantly, what is up with the Dems, trying to pay/persuade people to drop out of Senate races?

You missed the question. This is now the THIRD time (about which we know) that the Dems have tried to muscle someone out of a Senate race (first Sestak, then Romanoff, and now Greene).

What's going on here?

240 is Back · « **Reply #13 on:** June 11, 2010, 06:35:24 AM »

oh, I didn't know this policy started in 2010 lol...

It was politics as usual when they tried to bribe sestak - IF that is what happened. There were 3 jobs he was allegedly offered - 1 was filled three weeks earlier, one he wasn't eligible for due to being a rep, and the other he had already applied for and was under consideration. Sestak's claims may have been more bravado and Scott-Brown-Brash-Idiocy than the actual truth.

But yeah, this Greene candidate is probably 85 IQ and was repeating what his lawyer told him. Any party should try to bounce him, if only because of his felony charges.

But, Mr "Hope and Change.....Hmmmm....hmmm m....hmmmm" CAMPAIGNED on ending politics as usual. Yet, we have his administration trying to bribe or bully AT LEAST three Dems out of their Senate races.

What gives, here?

I guess people are so fed up with the current and "usual" politicians that they'll vote for any new, unknown name they see on the ballot. You can add a pet pig's name to the ballot and people will elect the pig over the current politician in office. This is dangerous. That is how Hugo Chavez got elected in Venezuela.

I think mccain would have won the 08 election if he had let palin resign due to 'personal issues' and brought on Romney.

Sometimes, you realize you are attached to a loser, and you sell.

What revisionist history are you reading? Need I remind you that the ONLY TIME McCain surpassed Obama in the polls was AFTER he picked Palin?

And, note the rallies he had. Note the attendance McCain had without Palin vs. what he had WITH Palin. It was night and day.

It was the economic collapse, coupled with McCain erratic response, that knocked Obama back onto message about McCain being Bush III.

Ya McCain got a temporary bump immediately after adding palin to the ticket, ...but as soon as she opened her mouth, and America got a good look at her, ...it was all downhill from there. His numbers sank faster than a lead balloon.

Summer of 2008, there were some days and weeks on Gallup where Mccain did lead Obama. They were brief, and obama led more of the time, but mccain did lead when it was just he and obama.

Poll shows McCain in 5-point lead over Obama

Two weeks before Palin was announced (when most of the world had never heard of her), Mccain led by 5 points.

The base RAT voters voted for this guy. Whats the problem?

And to compare him to Palin is just more fucking bs from 240 and TA all trying to mask the absolutely catastrophe they have shilled for the last two years.

I would take Palin 24/7/365/ over what we have now.

Check the electoral and national polls from RCP (which averages many of those polls). You will see that McCain led Obama, after he picked Palin, throughout the month of September. Again, check the rallies. The knock on McCain was that the conservatives based was NOT energized by McCain. That changed when Palin joined the tickets.

But, as stated earlier, the ecomonic collapse killed McCain's campaign. It allowed Obama and the Dems to quit fumbling over how to handle Palin and re-focus on equating McCain with Bush.

Without Palin , McCain would have gotten 43% at best.

240 is just smoking his dope again. Palin saved McCains ass from an absolute disaster even worse than it was.

I don't know about that. There were an awful lot of Republicans who came out for Obama AFTER Palin had her infamous interview with Katie Couric.
