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?

You're beginning to sound like John McCain...ie "all money is dirty if it hasn't been given to me". Or just a leftist in general...ie "all money, all profit, is dirty".

Do you make any distinctions between the campaign organizations of those who are running for public office and private for-profit and nonprofit organizations? (They say that one definition of insanity is the inability to make distinctions.)

Are you hot on the trail of Grover Norquist? Ed Gillespie? Any of the thousands of other DC-based organizations run by lobbyists and influence peddlers?

No?

Too bad. The connections you'll find there make Chris Simcox's little grassroots startup look like an ant standing next to an elephant.
