Hold my horses :-), I made logical errors in the break, else and for 
item parts (thats what you get from rewriting instead of rethinking ;-) )

This should be more like it:

def query_parser(QUERY, USER, STACK_SIZE):
     indexes = ['ni','adid','rundateid','rundate','city','state','status']
     empty = 'None'

     stack = []
     query_result = self.con.execute(QUERY,(USER,STACK_SIZE)).fetchall()
     ni = indexes[0]

     for row in query_result:
         temp_dict = dict()
         ignore = False

         if len(stack) > 0:
             if stack[0][ni] != row[ni]:
                 ignore = True

         if ignore == False:
             for item in indexes:
                 try:
                     temp_dict[item] = row[item]
                 except:
                     temp_dict[item] = empty

             stack.append(temp_dict)

     return(stack)

Though it is likely I made another stupid mistake.
