We Found The Mystery Donor

Remember a couple of days ago, when I posted http://siriunsun.blogspot.com/2011/08/corrupt-repbulicans-already.html ? Well.......we found out who donated. According to Jack Gilliam, of the Associated Press, Edward and Jill Conard, of Boston created the bogus company, Restore Our Future, for the purpose of donating money to Romney's campaign. Would a Democrat be able to do this without a little more attention from Fox News? Somehow, I don't think so.

I will quote the above cited article here,
Created by former aides to Romney, Restore Our Future raised $12.2 million during the first six months of 2011. The outside group is not officially connected to Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and can receive endless funds from individuals and corporations, thanks in part to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling known as "Citizens United."

"They're raising unlimited money from donors who can only give limited contributions to the candidate himself, and then are spending money directly to support the candidate," said Fred Wertheimer, president of watchdog Democracy 21, which called on the Justice Department and FEC this week to investigate the contribution.

"The whole operation is a sham," he said, "and the sooner we figure out how to do something about this, the better."

Now.........while I despise a lot of the manipulative stunts Republicans pull on the general public, especially in the name of the dominant religion in the United States, and in the name of "family values", (what the hell are they calling "family values", anyway? Mob ties? Agreements with drug cartels?) I actually CAN figure out how to do something about it. But then, I am not owned by a giant media outlet, such as Fox News. I can say whatever I want to say. So I will say it.


Both Morman





Both Republican



Anyone old enough to remember any undesireable patterns here? Come on folks.......use your votes wisely.

Oh....for anyone who isn't aware, the man pictured above in shackles is Warren Jeffs, the Mormon who was recently found guilty of molesting kids in his church, and using his Mormon faith and religion as a means of getting away with it. I am not ready to vote for anyone associated with the Mormon religion, at this point. In my world, "family values" cannot be defined the way Warren Jeffs defines them. Any more then legal donations to a campaign can be defined one way for one political party and another way for another political party.
