There’s a difference:

I am comfortable eating my words — and he is NOT. (And he needs to learn how they taste…)

Humble pie is good for the soul, so they say…

Prevents being “the greatest legend…in your OWN mind.”

@21 – Aw, Truthclubber, don’t be so hard on Elwood. You’ve both made errors predicting House race results before – and on the very same candidate, perhaps the only time the two of you have ever agreed:

From Elwood, submitted on 2010/10/24 at 10:46 pm
“Congressman Harmer! Congressman Harmer!
“Get used to saying it boys!”

From Truthclubber, Submitted on 2010/10/06 at 8:30 pm
“Dear Truth Equalizer:
“Harmer 52%, McNerney 48%.”

Stark is a dead stinking fish.

They can send out a scurrilous mailer a day until hell freezes over and it will not affect in any way the coming Swalwell landslide.

===================================
This (the above, typed verbatim from the printed copy that I proudly have in my possession) will be repeated on November 7th, 2012 along with the actual election results of that campaign.

Really – Pete never said he was in favor of Citizen’s United – his point was that if Corporations are people also then they need to be held to the same punishments and criminal prosecution for fraud the same way individuals are. To date, there are no criminal punishments for corporations who are guilty of criminal fraud in campaign funds – Cindy Corrello Hilke

So when Stark calls out Swalwell’s means-testing plan and says it plays into the hands of Republicans, you call him out for embellishing? That’s fair, I guess…but when Swalwell flat-out lies about Stark’s stance on Citizens United, you ignore it? Come on.

First time I’ve ever seen a blog post that mixed together Abe, Winston and Ernest. Pretty clever.

Just got the latest mailer from the Stark campaign today and IT IS A NUCLEAR BOMB against the Swellwell campaign!

Takes Swellwell’s supposed youth sports coaching and uses it as a meat cleaver against him — posing him as a little tyke playing T-ball in the middle of a Major League baseball game!

Yo, rookie! How dem big ol’ road signs (which ate up much of your budget) workin’ for ya NOW? Where’s Mama Tauscher’s apron strings to hang onto?

I just love the baseball card of Swellwell — ha! Way to go, Cornu & Co! I can hardly wait to see what’s arriving next in my mailbox!

Pete’s Greatest Speech (secretly recorded)
My fellow citizens and neighbors, ladies and gentlemen of the press, friends, Romanians and countrymen:
We are gathered here today to pay tribute, and a lot of it, to the brave men, living and dead, who so nobly fought for Social Security. We cannot add or subtract, multiply or divide, what they Arrrgh! Did here so nobly advanced. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this, on this plot of land, this blessed plot, this England! Arrgh! Seldom, in the field of human legislation, have so many, so old, owed so much to so few, so well. Therefore, do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me!
Thank you, and the hell with it!
