Looks to me like you're the one with the double standard.

DC is loaded with organizations/lobbyists that support those who are tearing down our Constitution and national sovereignty...for money and/or the power it garners them; and they all operate EXACTLY like the conservative organizations you've taken to criticizing of late. They all have to, they think, and their lawyers think, since legally, that's EXACTLY the way the politicians have rigged the game.

If you knew me, which you really don't, you'd know that I've always been a critic of that top-down, money-driven, way of doing politics. I think there is a much better way, morally and pragmatically.

But that doesn't mean that I'm going to attack people who are playing the game as it exists who happen to be forwarding the conservative agenda as they do it. I save my rhetorical bullets for liberals and their useful idiots.

So, to get back to the topic of the thread: Are you now a defender of Chris Cannon? Do you think its a good thing that he's carrying his lobbyist brother's water for him? What do you think of folks like Daschle and Harkin, et al, whose spouses have made tens of millions peddling their husband's influence?

I am critical of both Cannon and his lobbying brother (and others) as I am of the so-called conservative organizations that pretend to do the work that conservatives believe in but instead focus on building direct mail lists for further fundraising.

So I say, look in the mirror. You will see that the people you are involved with professionally display many of the same ethical and moral lapses that you find so upsetting in this article. You know, it's always better to clean up your own house first. btw, do you really agree with how money is raised and spent by the DF, DA and the other supposed non-profits that you are involved with or support? Have you examined their filings? What about your OWN little fundraising websites and organization(s) Tom? (The American Life and Liberty Coalition and the USBorderSecurity.ORG to name a few)

Do you really believe that what you are doing there is good for the conservative cause, or have you been so brainwashed to believe that these sham organizations are actually good for what you espouse to believe in?
