Democrats have wasted little time blasting Republican vice presidential pick Rep. Paul Ryan over his federal budget plan, but a more obscure part of his record could also draw attention: his relationship with a convicted Wisconsin businessman.
Ryan accepted nearly $60,000 in contributions from businessman Dennis Troha and his family, records show. Troha was later indicted on campaign finance charges over an Indian casino he sought to open. During the casino application process, Troha said, Ryan (R-Wis.) called federal regulators at his request.
Ryan was not found to have violated any laws, nor was he a target or key figure in the federal investigation, people familiar with the inquiry said. He was among more than 20 politicians of both parties who benefited from Troha’s largess. Troha was convicted of funneling illegal donations to other politicians, not Ryan, and Ryan donated Troha’s contributions to youth programs when the businessman was indicted.

But that doesn’t matter to dems. He will be called a felon soon.
“He will be called a felon soon.”
But that doesn’t matter to me. I know the Democrat party is chock full of felons and worse.
And I know their name calling is merely a tactic—accusing their opponents of their own deeds.
Hmmmm. Nothing here about Oboma and Tony Rezko, or Oboma and Bill Ayres the domestic terrorist, or Oboma and Van Jones the self proclaimed radical communist. How odd. Not even a mention.(/s)
I wonder if he's related to Jon Corzine.
And obastard funneled half a billion taxpayer dollars to his cronies at Solyndra, but the compost doesn’t care about that...
Rezko.
OK Jerry, Lets see you investigate Obama’s donations from foreign sources.
Oh please just toss it back in there face just laugh it off and mention all of the democraps bs toss in Reid molests dead horse and sends them flowers afterwards my friend knows a florist in Vegas happens a couple times a month bfd
That did not take long.
REZKO, REZKO, REZCO
AYERS, AYERS, JONES, JONES, SINCLAIR, SINCLAIR!!!!
Sorry to have to play some of my trump cards. :-))
So we are supposed to believe that, although the WaPo new all the facts, they really believed the charge against Ryan “Could Draw Fire”, or were they just doing their job to help insure it “does draw fire” (erroneously). I have my guess.
The main thing with with the RATS is ‘GET THE LIE OUT THERE’.
That’s all that matters.
Not any more RATS. We have the real news people covering your azzes.
Guess it’s time for Ryan to give a Nixon Checker’s speech.
I gave that scoundrel Troha’s dirty money to homeless orphans, unlike Obama, who is luxuriating in a home from Tony Rezko now sitting in a prison for fraud and bribery. And yes, I’m keeping the cocker spaniel for my kids and that republican cloth coat for Janna.
“Paul Ryan donations from a now-convicted Wis. businessman could draw fire”
The Washington Post could print insightful, balanced news articles...but I doubt that too!
But, of course, if you mention any of the donations from Current Federal Prisoners, to Obama, why... YOU MUSS BE A RASSISS!!
