Well, When Your Party Stands For Greed …
Well, if you’re having a bad day, this will cheer you up.
The owner of Stonewood Marketing has plead guilty for stealing $1,124,273.35 from political candidates and PACs.
Who did he scam?
McConnell Senate Committee—$118,294; Christians in Defense of Israel—$319,691.09; House Conservative Fund—$30,614; Vitter for Senate (Louisiana)—$480,821.26; Catholic Advocates—$153,445; Jewish Voice—$150; Reagan Action—$1,025; Ten Commandments Commission—$2,098; Republican Majority Campaign—$11,300; Policy Issues Institute—$2,280; Defund Obamacare—$100; NRSC—$100; Randall Terry for Senate—$6; Freedom Defense Advocates—$990; Frontline Ministries—$1,150; Christian Anti-Defamation League—$2,020; and Live Prayer—$190.
And what did he spend the stolen money on?
Two Jeeps, a 2 carat diamond, two condos in Myrtle Beach, interior decorating on those condos, a Lincoln Navigator, a GMC Terrain, a golf cart, two Cadillacs, and Lord only knows what else.
What a guy! Living the entitled Republican lifestyle.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
I hope you tip Alfredo well when you visit the DQ. He’s a treasure.
1I do hope he can’t afford to reimburse them.
2And the response of all these people was . . . ? Now that is something inquiring minds would like to know!
3Si,si… I ‘m with Maggie. Response?
4I think I’m in the wrong business.
5I imagine a response would involve a lot of hemming and hawing and harumphing as well as ignoring a whole bunch of stuff. Now if they do turn around and drop fire and brimstone on Stonewood Marketing and actually appear against them in court, that would only mark a critical milestone into — dare I say it?– adulthood for all those PACs that were raided. Hence, I am not holding my breath.
6Well, I’m happy to see that if the FEC can’t make any actions against these phony PACs that the FBI and the Justice Dept will.
7$14k for a 2-carat H color diamond? Jeez, that’s like 50% over jeweler’s retail. I suppose you lose your shopping sense when you’re using stolen money, but still. . .
8That’s what the GOP would call pulling yourself up by your bootstraps…grifters gotta grift…
9Someone committing fraud against organizations who commit fraud. How fitting.
10Alfredo to the truth in numbers, again!
Seriously, in the challenge of following the money, there is none better than Alfredo. Question is: would Alfredo prefer an appointment as Chairman of the FEC or Secretary of the Treasury? Then again, the Pentagon claims they cannot audit their own budget, while there is no doubt Alfredo could do the job.
Normally I would not advocate for Texans going to DC. However, Miss Juanita Jean and her posse have done such a superb job of reuniting Texas with its blue roots, at a minimum several people stand out from Texas as being good for Texas and the nation.
Because “This is a professional political organization” and has a brilliant marriage between common sense and humor, I’ll only mention two Texans to lead in DC, Julian and Joaquin Castro. It’s such fun to watch those zany Republicons go “WTF with Google and scratch their heads bald wondering what the Democrats have in store for them with Fidel and Raul.” Thanks Obama! 😉
11Here’s the one I like, “Randall Terry for Senate—$6!” That probably cleaned that fund out!
12Ten Commandments Commission? How fitting.
13I know the FeBIes are real good, but did they discover how much he likely spent on stuff that went up his nose? I’ve seen a picture of Samuel Pate Jr.
14Isn’t it terrible how oppressive government regulations against things such as fraud prevent innovative entrepreneurs from implementing creative business practices? Shouldn’t conservatives just let the free market judge these things, rather than hiring trial lawyers to file meritless lawsuits?
(chuckle)
15I notice he bought mostly used vehicles–two to four years old when he bought them. In 2010, he bought a 2007 Jeep Compass and a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. In 2011, a 2007 Cadillac Escalade and a 2010 Cadillac SRX , one of two possibly new cars. In 2012, a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. In 2013, a 2007 GMC SUV. In 2014, a 2013 GMC SUV (the second possibly new car, possibly bought at the end of the model year.) Besides 2007 being apparently his favorite model year for used cars…the question is why he’s buying used cars? Collector? Bargain? Thinking maybe by not driving new cars he won’t be suspected of making more money than is legal?
RepubAnon: ROTFL
16Ten Commandments Commiss…NINE! Nine Commandments Commission!
(h/t Mel Brooks.)
17I’m with Fred– $6 from Randall Terry for Senate? Is that all there was? Dang, what a meanie, taking somebody’s last six bucks…. Or does he like Terry and was going easy on him? Maybe one of those six vehicles needed a gallon or two of gas.
18Works for me, stealing REPUBLICAN’S money.
19Ya gotta love the topsy turvy world of the Aquarian Age, they finally legalized stealing. It’s called Republicanism
20Vitter for Senate took the biggest hit. The thought of the possible next Gov of Louisiana in diapers is both mesmerizing and repulsive. (http://www.vittertheshitter.com/)
21NOW THAT WAS FUNNY!
22Alfredo you just saved my day!
I’ll have a grin on my face all day!
I work with antichrist-ian republicans.
Might even make me put off my daily “walk past them and fart” routine. (nah)
I wonder if his business cards and stationery had that little Christian Fishie logo on them. That way, they’d know that he was honest.
23All that money and he bought condos in Myrtle Beach??? When I lived in SC, we referred to that as the Redneck Riviera.
24As my grandson saYs, we don’t always know what goes on behind the scenes, but we have a pretty darn good idea.
