LOL! I haven't heard anything - but I've been expecting some disruptors to show up and spew their stuff.
Well .. the RNC has the right to post their stuff anyway they want. I never let that stop me from reading GOOD STUFF.
I see all of this lining up just right for Hillary and Bill to make their move. Reid is dirty on this deal and as much as he screamed and crowed about him not taking any of that money - he's not long for the scrap heap. Now Dean has spent all the money and is dumb enough to make a general statement about 300+ Democrats who all have to raise funds for re-election - and no one elected official has every dime of their campaign funded by the Nuns of St Mary's. Never ever claim others are innocent - speak for yourself alone.
BTW, I have no problem with lobbyists paying politicians who are like minded on issues. If a lobbyist walks in to an office and explains their position to the pol and they agree with that position, then that is not corruption, its democracy. I wouldn't expect a lobbyist for gun control to shell out loads of cash to Sen. Allen, but they certainly should be able to support and present their positions to those who agree with their ends.
Lobbyists who work on behalf of corporations are paid to help get the government to make business better. Business is better, we get more jobs, more income, higher wages, etc. Not everything is nefarious - regardless of how movies portray everything.
Excellent find and thanks for posting this. I just sent this to the station manager of channel 2 in the San Francisco area.
Right after New Years, their morning show had a local Congress Rat on for several minutes saying this was all a republican problem thanks to DeLay and President Bush.
It's just the only place I've ever seen it done like that.
I think Hillary supported Dean being DNC chair because she was afraid to allow him to run for pres. That is part of the agreement Dean made - DNC chair - he will not run for pres. I don't think Hillary can risk Dean running - especially since it's his "kooks" who appear to be controlling all the money.
Of course .. Dean could resign at the right time and have all that 527 money to run with. If that happens, the dems will be out of power for 50 years instead of 40.
The core is melting and they have Homer Simpson at the controls.
Dean is parsing words - because Dean believes that the public is too stupid to figure out that the dems got lots of money from Abramoff - they just didn't get any of Abramoff PERSONAL donations.
This scam won't work - as this research by the RNC shows.
agua caliente indeed!
Thanks Liz for that great info.
Thank you!
Yes, Chris did a great job. Our local San Diego guy, Mark Larson, interviewed Chris today and they were both laughing at some of Dean's answer.
I believe that we should use their lack of Abramof money against them. It does NOT indicate their virtue- but rather their WEAKNESS. After all, what is the point of lobbying inept losers? The whole point is to influence people with power. The Dems have none!
The tribes all tried to keep pace,
As Jack’s Washington bets were placed.
Dean said he’d scalp ‘em
For taking the wampum,
Now its Chairman Dean who is redfaced.

And, it's amazing that some folks have no clue in using a comma, semicolon, or a paragraph break.
The list is endless.
The ironic part is .. we have to remember that it was just a few short years ago the dems were able to get away with this stuff .. but not anymore.
But .. the 527's have all the money .. and the e-list ..?? Don't they ..?? So if Dean flies the coop - he has a ready supply of money and people.
Actually .. he may have planned this all along .. and it is a brilliant plan.
You're correct. In Florida alone .. 50,000 new repubs have been registered - with less than 4,000 for dems. Interesting!
wd- out by the end of the week
good call
hd is my favorite dem- gillespie should put him on the payroll!!
