Phone-sex election ad offends both candidates
From the Associated Press

October 22, 2006

Both major-party candidates for a congressional seat are decrying an ad sponsored by the National Republican Congressional Committee that accuses the Democrat of billing taxpayers for a call to a phone-sex line.

The ad, which began airing Friday, shows Michael Arcuri leering at the silhouette of a dancing woman who says, "Hi, sexy. You've reached the live, one-on-one fantasy line."

Arcuri's campaign said an associate mistakenly dialed an 800-number sex line two years ago from Arcuri's New York City hotel room, and released records supporting the claim. The number shares the last seven digits of the number for the state Department of Criminal Justice Services, which was dialed the minute after the first call was made.

Arcuri, the district attorney in Oneida County, said the ad was "clearly libelous" and threatened to file a lawsuit. His GOP opponent, state Sen. Ray Meier, described it as "way over the line."

At least seven television stations refused to run the ad, Arcuri said. The national Republican committee stood by the 30-second message. Spokesman Ed Patru said Meier was not consulted.

"Can there really be one decent Repub?" is the title to this piece. The answer is "Of course, just like there are decent Democrats as well!"

The personality trait called "scumbag" knows no Party loyalty.

You are obviously entitled to your view, but I seriously doubt you can prove that quantitatively. Regardless, there is a lot of corruption and overall sliminess evident in government now. Then again, I remember the Bert Lance scandal during the Carter Administration. It crosses Party boundaries. Power corrupts.

I don't think Bert Lance is such a bad example , wasn't he pretty much exonerated?



More recently a Democrat was found to have a big wad of cold cash n his office freezer , culture of corruption I suppose.


I hope that the  years  that they have spent out of power have led the Democrats to a cleaner , more dedicated cadre of representatives , but I fear not , many same old faces .



The Republicans spent fourty years out of power after fifty in, is the frequency of change faster now?

Except it wasn't.

Only a possessed partisan such as yourself could find anything meaningful here. All I see is that it must be a Repub to get his rocks off off on a porno call for only $1.25

[R.R.]

The problem I have is this seemingly false statement:

"which was dialed the minute after the first call was made"

That was not the next call made, nor was the other call ever made. Why would Accuri say something that is so easily disproven by the phone bill?

Who gives a fuck ? Certainly not that one decent Repub candidate that disowned the Party's evil bullshit on this one. You guys throw this stupid shit all the time and most of the time end up with nothing more than shit on your hands

[R.R.]

Who gives a fuck ?

I do.

How about answering the question?

Why would Accuri say he dialed a number that is not evidenced on the phone bill?

Dont know. Dont give a fuck . And not obligated to answer your stupid, meaningless & arrogant questions. What little credibility Repubs have was further destroyed by their candidate being one of the very few decent ones.
