Tim D'Annunzio for Congress?

Norms of behavior are often fluid. For me, ‘playing the player rather than playing the ball,’ i.e., addressing the topic and writing about ideas rather than focusing on the person is the SC norm.

Unfortunately, you seem to be confusing the word 'norm' and the word 'ideal'.

Eh, you might be right ... this was kind of in the back of my mind.
It is an interesting paradox (to me, as far as my own introspection) that while I rarely argue norms, I do try to behave based on my own normative principles.

I recall earlier in this thread where Makeithappen asked about Mr. D'Annunzio's position on his affiliation with the criminal entities of 1 800 Skyride, but I don't recall much info coming up about that. If I understand it correctly, he does business with them on some different levels with the tunnels and other areas. Can anyone shed some light on this question? I, for one would not want someone in Washington who is associated with criminals like 1 800 Skyride or any other CQ owned entity. With all the info that is readily available, he can't say he didn't know about them.

There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

I agree. Come on Tim, if you don't come clean here, I'm sure that there are others who will be sure to bring it up in the media in a much more public forum than here.

I have seen almost every political candidate go under the microscope in an effort to find any dirt in their pasts, and the results are almost never pretty.

I suppose that since there seems to be a realm of silence, the rumors of a Paraclete connection with Cary's companies must be true. You are the third person to ask the same question and no one is offering any real answers to this question.
As I understand it, and the details are still limited, but Paraclete has a long running business partnership with the 1 800 Skyride conglamerate and Tim is long time personal friends with Cary and Ben. I am hoping to get some confirmation on this information in the next few days.

Or,
1. He came on here once already and was bitched and yelled at so much that he just does not see the point in getting into a pissing match. If I was running for anything, the last thing I would do is talk about it in here.

2. He has not logged back in for almost a mth:

Call him or email him and ask. He is not shy, but that does not mean he will be on here defending himself.

My bet is he realized that getting into a pissing match online with people who are not in his district is just a waste of time and would only do more harm than good to his run.

If he doesn't do it online, I'm sure somebody will take it to one of his campaign interviews and pose the question to him, with cameras rolling.

Cool, but you do realize that most people are not going to care.

While we (to include myself) don't like skyride.... The courts have ruled that they have done nothing wrong.

So it is your right to ask.... But a non-jumper (and some jumpers) are just not going to care.

What court said that?
Maybe you should look at these court documents and maybe rethink your perspective on that statement;

You may have a point that non-jumpers aren't going to care, but if Tim has taken campaign donations from Skyride, or personally from Cary and Ben, then he's going to have to answer to that.

As for the courts that says Skyride is okay and have done nothing wrong, I'll tell you this: PROVE IT!

Sorry did not know that. I just remember the USPA issue.

Feel free to bring it up. Still, most non-skydivers are not going to care.

I agree that non-jumpers won't care, but if they are given the information on the subject, anyone who is interested in "doing the right thing" (so to speak) will care. It don't take much to educate someone since the info is so readily available, just Google "Skyride Scam". There's thousands of pages online about the crime of Cary and Ben.

Since Non-Skydivers may not care, what about someone wanting to go for a Scuba Diving experience, this is one of their sites that offers Scuba Diving for Great White Sharks in Nashville, Tn. http://www.luxergy.com/nashville_Tennessee/nashville_shark_expedition.htm
or Denver, http://www.luxergy.com/denver_colorado/denver_shark_expedition.htm
or hunting and fishing, http://www.everythinghunting.com/ (and yes, those are sLyride's sites, already proven)
The point is that there's a lot more to sLyride than most people know and understand, it just takes a few minutes of research. What I posted is just a few morsals of info, if you care to set and read, go to my consumer alert at www.1800skyrideripoff.com or Jan Meyer's at http://funjumper.com/skyride/
That's why we are here in this thread exposing the connection between Tim and sLyride.




Finally,,, Merry Christmas to everyone!
