how funny, and how telling that you would have failed to include this link to the horrible inside look at how a party "board member/boss" played with the rich peoples money. i just wonder how sick inside the wealthy donors must be thinking of what other shenanigans the local GOP is capable of? when they donate, and they run or their candidate runs, will another board member be dissing them and coordinating with the other team? truly inspires confidence doesn't it?
why, heck, who wouldn't cozy up to a non bathing, pot smoking, van living socialist? (sorry, not gonna call him an anarchist, cuz he's not, anarchist don't advicate for higher taxes, and growing a larger government)
i mean, wake up rich donors, if mcsweeney will do this now, why won't he do it to you? or has he already?..... just food for thought.....right?
