“The payments totaled about $73,000 and were made monthly in the amount of around $8,000. They were concealed by first sending the money to a film production company, then through another company — and finally was paid out to Sorenson and his wife. “

Sounds like money laundering by Ron Paul’s campaign.

Paul was never going to escape being a Congressman, like Sheila Jackson Lee and other goofball congresspeople, he couldn’t win statewide office, but he could create a cult, and live a great life.

This is weird.

It would seem the people making payments are also complicit.

And, on a separate note, murderers and rapists get less than 25 years.

And what if Rupaul and his comittee?

Are they not in jeopardy?

It seems like a lot of money for the support of one state senator. Does he really have that much clout to justify $73,000?

Well, well, well.

Not only are the Paul’s fruit cakes,
They are corrupt, as well.

Just weeks before switching candidates, Sorenson made news:

http://www.radioiowa.com/2011/12/20/two-leaders-of-the-family-leader-endorse-santorum-audio/
““I do regret that one erstwhile friend and culture warrior has threatened to, ‘Burn Bob’s body, drag it through the streets and hang it from a bridge,’ if Bob doesn’t endorse who that person wants him to endorse,” Hurley said. “Unfortunately, this individual claims to follow the ‘good book’ which says things like, ‘Let all anger, bitterness and malice be put away from you.’”

Hurley refused, when asked by a reporter, to name the person he quoted — but other sources indicate the statement was made by State Senator Kent Sorenson, the Iowa chairman for Michele Bachman’s campaign...”

Sorenson had strong potential as a Tea Party candidate. No more. Very disappointing.

I wonder whether this is true. Leftists lie.
