I suspect, since the MMP has been so effective at embarassing the thugs in DC, this is an attempt to discredit him, and the MMP.

I've been involved in trying to implement change in the political arena, through our elected officials, for a number of years, we have had a little success locally, and at state level, but DC, nothing. The MMP, and other border watch groups have gotten the DC crowd to at least pretend to do something in just over a year. That is a major accomplishment.

The MMP is Chris Simcox's organization, he can run it any way he wants as far as I am concerned. Anyone who has donated should be looking at the results, not nitpicking the accounting, or the way the donated money was spent.

The Border Watch group I belong to takes no donations, we fund the operation ourselves, to avoid a mess like this, amoung other reasons.

I think if you're soliciting donations then it is quite reasonable to ask where the money is going. Certainly you should not say you will release the accounting and then not do so. Better to say it's private info in the first place.

There are a handful of freepers who have turned this into a nearly clinically obsessive project. Something is definitely up with them.

So, if Simcox is pocketing a lot of money/misspending it, has NO real control over it ( how can someone have control of something, when he has no idea how much or how little money he has ?) and lying about what monies, vis-a-vis what actual hard products were donated and NOT bought, you don't care? Why not?

There are laws on how businesses and charities and everything in between are to be run. He hasn't followed any of them. Neither has he done ANYTHING whatsoever, to keep illegals out of this country. THERE ARE NO RESULTS, from Simcox's group; NONE. He built a CATTLE fence for a rancher who didn't want to spend his own money on a new one.

My thoughts, too. Besides, the Washington Times has the credibility of the NYT. So, why is anybody buying the hogwash they print...

[MeliJara]

The MMP is NOT Simcox. MMP is Minuteman Project with Jim Gilchrist. MCDC is Minuteman Civil Defense Corps with Chris Simcox. Please make a note of this.

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever seen posted at FR by a 'conservative'.
