Stephanie Meyer - Liar Extraordinaire
In a recent blog post on her candidate web site Stephanie Meyer posted this:
"Join me to say that a candidate, like me, who receives much of her funding from individual donors and residents, rather than from a small handful of large and special-interest donors........."
Well Stephanie, apparently is incapable of reading campaign finance reports. That is why the statement above is a bunch of malarkey. Nahhh, it's BS. Let's look at the donations, by amounts for the two mayoral candidates.............Michelle Distler and Stephanie Meyer:
Contribution amount Distler Meyer
$500 (maximum) 9 13
$250-$499 2 10
$100-$249 17 26
$51-$99 0 1
$1 - $50 28 19
Hmmmm, which candidate has relied on "big money donors"? Also, Meyer has used the expression "special-interest donors" as if that is bad. Heck, she has special interest donors. All candidates get donations from special interest persons. Apparently Meyer has not read my various posts about that term. Take any subject where two candidates disagree. Their donors are "special interests" if they support them. Both sides. Let's take the subject of abortion. If you are against it, you will be supported by special interests who think like you. If you are in favor of it you will be supported by special interests who think like you. To use that term as a negative is unscrupulous to say the least, and highly misleading. But then Stephanie Meyer has a habit of misleading. Is that why the voters of her ward, ward 3, rejected her in the recent primary?
And now she again regales us with her impoverished upbringing. But she forgets that there are still folks that are in that situation in Shawnee. But that didn't stop her from trying to push the proposed community center down their throats. Check this out. Or this one.
So, if you want someone who has a history of misleading folks as your mayor then maybe you should vote for Meyer. I know I don't.
