CNN Special On Linda McMahon Trying To Buy Connecticut's Senate Seat

[linesofascript]

Linda's the best!

[gypseytoo]

too bad republicans let her waste the spot poeople do not want candidates whgo "buy" their way in they resent those type of people sorry you wasted your money  BTW i voted for jody rell because she was a hard worker regardless of party

[AirJuvi43]

Who hasn't tried to buy an election?? The only one I know of was Jesse Ventura- he raised only 300,000 and won. His opponents combined raised over 20 million. I think there should be a limit as to how much money a candidate can raise- it becomes about the almighty dollar and the citizens end up getting screwed

[TheBrownNote2007]

Maybe this is just Ted Turner (owner of CNN) getting a small slice of revenge on Vince?

[KarateCop]

Interesting that she talks about creating jobs in America. If I'm not mistaken the WWE outsources the manufacturing of WWE products such as toys and apparel to sweatshops in foreign countries. Wonder if her opponent knows this. Also, all of her wealth comes from Vince McMahon's success... Too bad for her that you can't put a price tag on the voting public.

[SickerThanThou]

@KarateCop Oh, YOU CAN put a price tag on the voting public, especially in America. I hope you won't be too disillusioned when she wins.

[KarateCop]

@SickerThanThou

She's not going to win. The majority of voters in CT are against phonies like her. The Republicans are so full of empty rhetoric. There's some fantastic revealing articles about her all over the place which shine a light on what kind of a person she really is. Furthermore, people are aware of what a corrupt business the McMahons have run for the past several decades. All the drug abuse, tax evasion schemes, dead wrestlers, etc. Republicans only help rich people, not workers.

[spinemelter2000]

Stephanie admitted that WWE doesn't provide health insurance to its wrestlers and that 60% of wrestlers have insurance. That's not a very large number for any company, especially one as dangerous as pro wrestling. Republicans want health care left up to the private sector, yet WWE has no problem exploiting people who risk their health and lives. If the McMahons ran the government, we'd all end up like Eddie Guerrero, Umaga, Test, etc.

[JackSnipes]

What a joke! She is a loser.

[bullonay]

Yellow "journalism" 101...

[phantomlord54]

Yet one more attempt by the Zionist Jew media to smear a conservative leaning candidate who poses a threat to their radical, left wing looney Zionist Jew fucking agenda!!!!!!!!!!

[chethoerner]

@phantomlord54 Why does is not surprise me that the WWE candidate has the support of ignorant racists. I bet you if anyone from Nascar ran they would get your vote too. Yeaaaa Haaaaa!

[phantomlord54]

@chethoerner It would seem to me, scumbag, that you're every bit the "ignorant racist" that you purport me to be - stereotyping all those involved in WWE and NASCAR

[chethoerner]

@phantomlord54 Sure buddy. Scumbag, nice touch. Almost as good as the "Zionist" remark. Who would I be racist against, whites? I'm white. See, I don't have anything against WWE or Nascar, they're alright people. Just because every racist is a fan, not all the fans are racist. I'm only stereotyping racists. If that offends you, well stop being antisemitic.

[phantomlord54]

@chethoerner So it's not possible to be prejudiced against your own people?  And if WWE and NASCAR consist of "all right people", then why would every so-called racist be drawn to them, as you say? And how do you infer antisemitism on my part through my use of the term Zionist Jew? I am referring to the segment of the Jewish population that has WIDE ranging influence throughout our world, including the American media

[chethoerner]

@phantomlord54 Wow. I am done talking to you. Enjoy your wrestling.

[dicemanace]

Peter Schiff---- the one for senate check him out!

[hellspit2003]

she knows nothing about economics... and is buying the election cause shes rich...

[msungs]

Peter Schiff is a modern day Founding Father. Peter Schiff wants to go to Washington to stop the insanity. Peter is against taxpayer funded bailouts, and is against a Federal Reserve as Federal as Federal Express and "Owe"bama who seek to put money presses on warp speed to print our way out of this problem. Linda is just another celebrity looking for her 15 minutes of fame. You have the opportunity to vote for freedom in Connecticut during the primary. Please look to see who Peter Schiff is.

[ronpaulisdaman]

Peter Schiff!

[hamongog2015]

I support Mrs Mcmahon. She is very pro oil exploration, is a realist, is tough, and seems to have good character. The only issue that troubles me is her stance on abortions, but in the current climate of socialism, she's definetly what we need. Good luck to her.

[CameronRounder]

@hamongog2015 the WWE is the most corrupt corporation in CT. shes a terrible woman and if she wins the primary, republicans will lose the election. capturing the independent vote in CT is crucial, and she wont be able to buy those votes.

[hamongog2015]

@CameronRounder . I disagree. She has led the wwe in an overhaul of the wrestling industry, which has come at a great loss of profit. By implementing a 'pg' rating, the wwe chose to set the bar in the industry at a higher moral level, even at the expense of ratings and profit. Her record shows she will do the right thing. Also, steroid abuse exists in all pro sports, esp. NFL football. The wwe has taken measures to test its performers that parallel the NFL, NBA, and MLB.

[CameronRounder]

@hamongog2015 a single TEAMs rosters is the size of the ENTIRE wwe roster. what if it came out that at some point almost every single athlete on a sports team used steroids? thats pretty much what the wwe. even her husband used juice at least once. i remember seeing him on tv because i use to watch the wwf when i was younger. and what does "she will do the right thing" even mean? and when did they go pg? after that juice head that worked for her went nuts and killed himself and his family?

[hamongog2015]

@CameronRounder. She is a buisness woman who cares about lowering taxes and protecting capitalism from the socialist grab all that currently controls the political landscape. The pg rating is an example of how I believe her character is more important to her than profit. As for wwe performers, they are independent contractors. As grown men and women, their actions are their own responsibilities, not wwe. When someone shows a history of problems, they are disciplined, or even let go.

[CameronRounder]

@hamongog2015 we're not gonna see eye to eye on her actions in the wwe. that a side, i think a stronger candidate for the republican party in ct would be Peter Schiff. He's a business man who understands and can explain why a free market system works. He warned about the U.S. economic collapse for years. He'd also capture a lot more independent voters then Linda ever would.

[capncrunch93able]

Schiff for CT!

[assgrabberb]

Not a word about Peter Schiff.

For shame.

[weavermama]

TEA PARTY FOR PETER SCHIFF!! Tell your Republican friends in Connecticut who he is. Remind them that the world is watching!

[rothfuss97]

CT, Vote for Peter Schiff on Aug 10th!!!

[MrDivalover1]

@rothfuss97 so the ct primary is it august10 or august11?

[AmericanNohbuddy]

they didn't co-found WWE. Vince's dad did.

[louthebody]

@AmericanNohbuddy You're correct, these reporters always twist things.

[ahamichaeljackson]

@AmericanNohbuddy ur right about linda and vince not co founding wwe, but vince's dad didnt either, it was his grandpa Ed McMahon. Vince's dad is Vincent McMahon Sr.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@ahamichaeljackson

LOL. Do you know who Ed McMahon is?

anyway his grandfather was Roderick "Jess" McMahon.

[saiyukizuan]

@AmericanNohbuddy i thought vince dad founder of A.W.A??

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@saiyukizuan

No. Vince McMahon Sr. founded the WWWF. Verne Gagne founded the AWA.

[saiyukizuan]

@AmericanNohbuddy

[BMWg84]

McMahon once said, "I have a lot of money and I plan on buying my way into the senate" ;)

[MeritisDE]

So when she loses, not only would she have pissed away 50 million, but her taxes will be raised.

[stater68]

Here is Linda Mcmahon's complete economic plan

"I want to create jobs.  I am a businesswoman"

Whoo hoo
