The following claims from fake U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth are logically incompatible:
- In December, Bosworth told the Senate Ethics Committee that from January 1, 2012, to her date of filing, she had earned $17,662.
- In that same document, Bosworth claimed that her husband Chad Haber made no income over $1,000 from any source.
- In a January 21, 2014, radio interview with Janine Turner (yes, Maggie from Northern Exposure, gone Palin and Christoga), Bosworth claims that she pays $800 a month for her family's health insurance.
If claim #3 is accurate, the Bosworth-Haber family is paying $9,600 a year for health insurance. If claims #1 and #2 are accurate, the Bosworth-Haber family made only $8,881 in each of the past two years.
I invite candidate Bosworth to explain which of the above claims is inaccurate, or what supplementary claims she can offer to square the above claims.
Maggie, no!!!! Figures....Gross Pointe snobs!
...lol
How on earth is this family surviving? Are they on foodstamps, welfare?
I don't know but I suspect that her clinic purchases the health insurance for her and the family and deducts the cost as a business expense.
She could make a heck of a lot more money by simply taking a job as a medical provider at a clinic.
Chad could make a lot more money by dumpster diving for aluminum cans.
And wingnuts lecture the poor on being poor and lazy. IOKIYAR.
I know it's early, but this year's winner of the Phineas Taylor Barnum Award of Campaign Management and Advocacy Award goes to...
Focus, people.
It's amazing that there are actually people who DON'T question her, on... well, Everything...(her Financial dealings, health care ideas, strange political leanings, child neglect (RV), MENTAL HEALTH...) Doesn't she realize she doesn't have to pay a penny for healthcare. Her income is so low she and her family qualify for Medicaid, foodstamps, housing assistance. Oh wait, that would make her one of the lazy, good for nothing moochers she so despises wouldn't it. (Where did the $1,500,000 worth of meds she took to the Philippines come from?)
Mike, I didn't know that any of the wingnuts from either fringe had been lecturing you but just so you and I are as square as Iowa, not all of the poor are lazy. It is the lazy poor who are the worst minigroup. The lazy poor should be scorned and not coddled.
You tell those wingnuts next time that not all the poor are lazy poor.
Grudz,I can't for the life of me see idolizing the idle rich. They game the system as much or more than the lazy poor. Except,the idle rich can afford to hire their lobbying of the legislators to keep the gravy train rolling. If the koch bros can buy politicians with way less than 1% of their total income,should I not have that same right? I'm afraid that with the small disability check I live on,I'd have to fork over years and years of checks to even get a pol's attention. I understand how the game is skewed to favor the wealthy and I don't bitch about it. It would be nice to have a level playing field,but wealth trumps reason and common sense. You play the hand you are dealt. I hope,in my lifetime,we get back to electing citizens who are humbled by the opportunity to serve their country. The way it used to be.
I don't idolize the rich. I have large disdain for the lazy poor who want hand outs, and also I hate whiners. Mr. H could take both of those statements and apply them at some of his former profession.
Heh. I just realized why they call it the gravy train.

Dr. Bosworth and her husband (and, it appears, her son, who accompanied her to DC this week to see Grover Norquist) have gotten to take a lot of nice trips on other people's dimes. Her fake Senate campaign has given her and her family a lot of money. But she may realize that, if she makes the ballot, she will open up the full force of press scrutiny, at which point she is toast. Anyone care to speculate on the odds that she simply fails to submit her signatures, stays off the ballot, and moves on to the next scheme?
I think that is the most likely outcome Cory. If she doesn't file maybe everyone will just forget her land raffle scam and she will attempt to go quietly into the night.
Oh no she won't give up. She'll get people to get those petitions signed. She's wayyy too delusional and self-righteous to ever believe she should stop now. She most definitely doesn't see herself in the reality everyone else does. She doesn't think those scandals will mean anything. She has God and Janklow on her side remember? Big government can't stop her! And the truth isn't her truth. She'll never in a million years believe anything she's done was wrong
Thought you'd like to know Cory I have first hand proof the clinic is only open 2 half days a week while she's flying all over and all the patients she promised to be there for?? Who knows what they're doing now?
