What The Hell? (This is Kinda Big)
Those of you on political email lists already know that July 31st was a big deadline for campaign contributions.
Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen has been snooping through those campaign reports and has found some very interesting things. I’ll tell you about them as he finds them.
First I will tell you about the one that bowled me flat over on my butt.
Why the fool tarnation would Ted Cruz’s official super PAC give Carly Fiorina’s super PAC half a million dollars?
Fiorina is polling at 1.2%, so it’s not like she’s a hot item right now. So why would Ted Cruz give one of his opponents half a million dollars?
Hummm …. maybe because she’s the only hooter toter in the race and the GOP needs a woman to be the attack dog on Hillary Clinton?
Oh hell, yes.
So, every time Florin attacks Hillary, there needs to be a sound clip at the end that says, “This message is paid for by Ted Cruz, the creepy man who walked around the Harvard co-ed dorm in a paisley silk housecoat.”
And this just goes to show that Republicans can’t find a woman who refuses to be their paid hooker delivery system.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Always grateful that Alfredo is following the money.
1Now will Carly actually touch this money from Cruz—-’cause I’m talking slime, Koch sweat and serious cooties on those dollar
2bills y’all.
Is Daffy Cruz, Jr. pandering for the woman vote? “See, I’m a nice guy … sharing Charle’s and David’s money with a girl.”
Wait for it. Seriously. Ted will eventually say “girl” or something equally offensive to women in the context he says it. A vote for a Republican, man or woman, is still a vote against women, minorities, children, education and any progress.
3“Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery. . .” –Jimmy Carter
Everybody is bribing everybody else. Where is my bribe?
4Maybe Cruz has finally realized he looks less crazy if he can keep his mouth shut.
TRUMP – let the other candidates attack Trump’s comments
5HILLARY – Let Fiorina go after Hillary, woman to woman. In exchange for a cabinet post in the Fairyland Cruz presidency.
So now the Crazy Rethuglican Train is a Corrupt Crazy Rethuglican Carousel. And it’s revolving around on the Koch Bros. shaft.
6It’s all circling the drain anyway.
7Don’t rule out that she may be his Vice-Presidental pick.
8Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz — a match made in (fill in the blank).
9Awww. Cute. Don’t you think big wads of money are cute? and heart warming? I think I’ll go get a pedicure. Wish I was next door to Juanita Jean’s.
10Carol, considering that the Cruzer has endeared himself to only a very small percentage of the electorate (Dominionists) and is currently doing battle on the floor of the Senate with McConnell and Fiorina is still loathed by one and all who used to work for her, the ticket of his dreams has no chance in bleeping hell.
11That was Keep The Promise I superpac
Keep the Promise III Cruz superpac is fully funded by Randy Neugebauer’s kid, Toby.
Just sayin’ : there’s hanky….. And then there’s panky.
12daChipster, ok, so there’s Keep The Promise I and Keep the Promise III. Is there a Keep the Promise II? Or, more oops style Republicon math, and there is no II?
H/T to you and Alfredo for all your abilities to read through the twists, turns, and to do the math. Republicons may attempt to play “hide the ball,” but you good guys are hot on their trail. Thank you.
13Where’d Toby Neugebauer get his big wad of nice cuddly money?
14There is indeed a II and also, I believe, a IV. But I am sure as tomorrow’s dawn that, conforming to all Federal law, there is absolutely NO collusion, coordination or cross-pollination among the miscreants – err – managers.
15How can this super pac have her name in it? Super pacs can not have the name of the candidate in its name
16She made up an acronym for “Conservative, Authentic, Responsive Leadership for You.” As close to the edge of legality as she could skate–no surprise in a Republican candidate.
17Kyle, they can if they were created prior to the candidate officially announcing.
18I just hope that Fiorina stays true to form and uses Ted’s money to produce yet another brilliant political ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKWlOxhSIKk
I’d truly enjoy seeing her take on Hillary.
19daChipster, thank you. Ok, so there is Keep The Promise I, II, III and possibly IV. As you noted there is not a scintilla of obvious about any “collusion” with Daffy Cruz, Jr. And, of course, Jeb! wasn’t actually running while amassing campaign contributions. While we all know racism is dead and long buried in the USA.
To all of which we owe our brilliant future to the RATS, (Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia.) All that is left to be done, or more appropriately undone, is to wait for Congress to legislate the fixes.
20The PAC cannot keep using this name after Fiorina announces
21Kyle it’s the Republican way to slide under the letter of the law and totally flee from the spirit of the law. Carly with only the “C” capitalized is not permissible under the law. Whereas CARLY being not a name but an acronym is permissible.
“Carly for America” had to go.
“CARLY for America: Conservative, Authentic Responsive Leadership for You and for America.” gets to stay.
Yeah man, it’s like parsing a gnat through a needle, but Republicons do it every day.
22Well, Fiorina is a true capitalist. She’s getting paid to be the attack dog against Clinton. She won’t do it for free. At least we know why she’s in the race now.
23The FEC is deadlocked at 3 to 3 and so there is no one to enforce the law.
