Linda McMahon’s Campaign, Yankee Player Hosting Raw? Ratings News

- Linda McMahon Campaign press Release:
As is often the case when a political outsider begins shaking up the system, the career political insiders are fighting for their survival. That’s no surprise. Their careers depend on protecting the status quo. What is shocking, however, is that Linda’s political opponents — just about all of whom are part of the political establishment — are launching negative personal attacks so early. It appears her primary opponents are so concerned about her candidacy that they are engaging in a seemingly coordinated negative attack on her. What are they afraid of? Several weeks ago, they attacked Linda for not voting in a few recent elections. But then the Hartford Courant reported that the very politicians attacking Linda had also missed numerous elections. In fact, her most vocal opponent himself missed at least 11 local elections! The difference is that Linda was honest from the outset, putting her record on Linda2010.com for all to see. She acknowledged her missed votes were inexcusable, and she took complete personal responsibility — unlike the career insiders who did their best to cover up their records. It’s sad really. Now the political insiders are at it again. They are claiming Linda is not a real Republican because, as CEO of a nonpartisan, publicly traded company, she gave political contributions to Democrats as well as Republicans. The fact is Linda is a fiscally conservative Republican, and as CEO of WWE, she gave $70,700 in federal contributions to Republicans, $34,100 to Democrats and $2000 to Independents, since 1980. Linda has helped elect far more Republicans than Democrats, but they didn’t bother to tell you that. Linda has helped Republican mayors, Governor Rell, Republican Members of Congress, Republican Town Committees, the Connecticut Republican Party and the list goes on… Linda has it all posted online for everyone to see.

  1. As far as Linda McMahon it’s the same old shit. We’re too far down the line for any politician to make serious change and I can’t see it being her. If she wants to make real change she should fund Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin.

  2. As long as she stays away from the WWE and doesn’t try to ruin it more like vince, I don’t give a flying fuck what she does.

  3. Luke, this is the second thread that I read where you don’t “give a flying f*ck” about something. The language is vulgar and I wouldn’t, couldn’t write such atrocious wording on a public website.

    Now, as far as Linda and her Senate race goes I could give a rat’s ass.

  4. And why should you care about how much I cuss and why should I even care what you think or say when it doesn’t affect me in any way, shape, or form and if you have a problem with cussing, then tell someone who actually gives a rat’s ass about what you say >:/

  5. Ech, that money… Too bad that she can actually get into where she is heading. I hope she won’t, because she is just another capitalist…

  6. Luke and Jonathan should both shut the f up, Jonathan moreso than Luke (at least in this instance, anyhow).
