Isn't that why Simcox brought in the alleged "professionals?" Now, if those "professionals" have problems meeting those requirements, despite charging various service fees for allegedly doing so, that's another problem.
Indeed. And Cannon is one of the worst. That's one of the reasons I never liked him, even before I watched him arrogantly sell out our national sovereignty and borders in recent years, and saw his gross hypocrisy on the immigration issue during the recent primary. Those who didn't know better could have sworn he was Tom Tancredo, when he's really more like John McCain on steroids.
Hey dude. Jacob wasn't "my guy". He could have been, but didn't have the brains or the guts to earn that support. Throughout the primary, he ran away from most conservative issues like a scalded cat. Neither he nor his campaign manager had the courage (or probably the conviction) to campaign as a conservative in one of the most conservative districts in America.
So, my advice to Dr. Keyes was to NOT officially endorse the man...which he didn't. (*Honest FReepers can check on my veracity by googling the news articles about Alan's visit to Utah just before the primary...that reporting makes it clear that there was no endorsement.)
Of course, on a personal level, I still wanted Cannon to lose. His crass arrogant advocacy for open borders alone earned him that defeat, completely aside from his personal corruption (a corruption that every conservative I know in Utah and in Washington agrees exists).
Jacob, for all his faults, would have been a step up...heck, the belly of a snake would be a "step up" from Cannon. Oh well...
What, by reading the silly trash on your favorite antifreeper sites? LOL...I'm so scared! LOL...
Sorry Howlin. Honest folks can go back and see that I "first-named" him only after he did it to me. That was kind of the point...a point that you intentionally overlook, unsurprisingly.
I just got 13,600 hits on YOUR real name; and there aren't any in the first 100 from CP.
Hear, hear!
Why bother? You probably have more than one.
LOL
Have you ever donated to a Republican candidate for office? The exact same thing happens.
You were just shilling for the pro-abortion gun-grabber Rudy yesterday. You ARE a RINO.
Ummm, you're not a supporter of Campaign Finance Reform, are you?
Are you denying that the GOP sells donor lists?
It's absolutely SOP and anything but illegal. There are about 10 or so liberal to moderate freepers who have turned this into a big whacko conspiracy theory.
"Have you ever donated to a Republican candidate for office? The exact same thing happens."
Yes, it does, but that is a candidate, not a PAC or PAC-like organization.
You try it. Donate to the Declaration Association or the Declaration Foundation. Use a unique way of writing your address. You won't believe who sends you requests for donations. I know I didn't.
Donations to candidates or to political parties go to a specific purpose, that of getting a candidate elected. Where did the money sent to Simcox go? Do you know? I sure can't find that information.

What difference does it make? Selling and swapping donor lists happens all over the place. It just so happens that several of the folks feigning rigeous indignation over this are big-time GOP cheerleaders.

In November we will know, otherwise Simcox is going to be in trouble. In the meantime, drawing conclusions with the lack of information we have now is utter conspiracy theory kookery.

Indeed. Most members of Free Republic are Republicans, and support GOP candidates. Just a small minority of FReepers are from other parties.
Like most Republicans, we support GOP candidates. The alternative is the election of Democrats. Third party supporters harm the cause of conservatism by helping Democrats gain office.
So, yes, we donate to the GOP and to its candidates. I used to donate to other conservative organizations, but no more. The failure of so many of these to report their expenditures and receipts alarms me.
From what I can gather, there is something of a cabal of small "conservative" organizations, which do little more than collect contributions, yet never spend much on anything other than themselves.
I will never again donate to any non-profit organization which misses filing deadlines. I've learned through experience.
Like some phony televangelists, many so-called "conservative" organizations are doing little but lining their own pockets. No thank you very much.
I think you'll find that most members here at Free Republic are Republicans. You may not be. And there it is.
There is a big difference between being a Republican and being a party-first GOP cheerleader.
"There is a big difference between being a Republican and being a party-first GOP cheerleader."
Which is Keyes? Which is Simcox? For that matter, which are you?
He's a cricket. LOL.
Are you high? I am pro life and pro 2nd Amendment. And before last night, I haven't posted since August 11th.
Your Rudy hatred isn't healthy, dude.
