Kathleen Troia McFarland is a Republican candidate who is trying to dislodge Hillary Rodham Clinton from her seat in the US Senate. McFarland was a Pentagon official during the Reagan years and is competing with ex-Yonkers Mayor John Spencer in the GOP primary. Today McFarland is scheduled to host her first major fundraiser of the campaign, a $1,000-per-ticket reception with well-known military members from the Reagan era attending.
"I was beaten up, I was whipped with a belt, I was kicked, I was shoved, and my father took a gun to us on a couple of occasions at a very young age.”
Her brother’s belief that she is “Evil” stemmed from the accusation that her father was abusive. The brother calls it "A total fabrication."
To complicate matters even more, New York Magazine published letters McFarland had written to her parents years ago in which she blamed them for her brotherÂ’s death. The letters claimed her parents had encouraged a reckless sexual lifestyle for her gay brother. He died of AIDS in 1995.
No polls have yet been taken to determine if being “Evil” will help or hurt the McFarland campaign.
Republican candidates for state-wide office in New York this year are looking like sacrificial lambs. They'll run a campaign against some hate Democrats that the Right loves to hate, Senator Clinton in particular, in the hopes of getting some minor political favor in the future.
My thinking is that that's possibly Jack Carter's intention out here in Nevada. Jimmy's son.
Honestly, I think someone probably COULD take down John Ensign. But really, only Las Vegas' gin-drinking, Playboy centerfold-shooting former-mob-defending Mayor Oscar Goodman could have pulled it off.
My thinking is that Oscar will fulfill his final mayoral term, then either run for Governor or Senator.
Jack Carter can use the recognition and whatever's left in his war chest in an upcoming County Commission or state legislator race.
