More Hypocrisy from Liddy Dole

Six years ago, Republican Elizabeth Dole reacted with alarm when Democratic Senate opponent Erskine Bowles, a wealthy former investment banker, dug deep into his own pocket.

"TAKE A LOOK AT THIS," she wrote in an e-mail to thousands of supporters in October 2002. "My opponent loaned nearly $3 million of his personal wealth to his own campaign We expect him to use even more of his personal wealth to finance his negative television and radio ads."

"I do not have that kind of personal wealth," Dole wrote. "So, to continue setting the record straight I must be able to count on the generous support of friends like you."

Dole's electronic plea raised thousands of dollars for her campaign.

Now Dole, running for a second term against Democrat Kay Hagan, has loaned her own campaign $3 million.

According to an analysis of disclosure forms by the Center for Responsive Politics, only six senators are wealthier than Dole. She had holdings valued at between $18.5 million and $69.2 million.

In 2002, she reported family assets of up to $23 million.

I gave a couple of times to her opponent (Kay Hagen?) through the Emily's list fund. It's really sad when a candidate has to defend her Christianity. Religion shouldn't even enter in to it.
LOL at the goatee comment!

Hope she loses by a substantial margin!
Thanks for posting this!

and she can keep a third world nation afloat

Rick Santorum was able to win office by running a campaign where his complaint was that the representative that had the position was not actually living in the district but outside of Washington DC.

Fast forward about 15 years and one of the biggest gripes AGAINST Santorum was that he moved his entire family to Leesburg, Virginia.

The Hypocrisy boggles the mind!
