Management Fees Exceed Political Donations From Tennessee Presidential Hopeful's Account
In the five years since Republican Fred Thompson left the Senate, he has maintained his political fund-raising account -- and it has paid more money to his son than it has contributed to help elect Republicans to Congress, records show.
Mr. Thompson, of Tennessee, announced that he would not seek re-election to the Senate in 2002. But since then, his political action committee has paid $244,000 in "management/consulting fees" to his son's consulting firm in Nashville, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
During the same period, the Fred D. Thompson PAC donated a total of $225,000 to Republican candidates and party organizations, according to the reports.
...Mrs. Clinton's HILLPAC has paid about $2 million in salaries since 2002, while contributing $2 million to Democratic candidates for office. Mr. Edwards's PAC paid about $1 million in salaries while contributing $200,000 to Democrats when he used it during the 2002 and 2004 elections. Mr. Edwards primarily used his PAC to fund his political career, rather than to contribute to Democratic candidates. Mr. Obama, who only had a PAC for the 2006 election, paid about $500,000 in salaries and donated $770,000 to Democrats.

Her constant lies, even after being refuted time and time again, in addition to her advocacy of liberals and attempts to destroy conservative candidates in California, was beneath FR. She left a long trail of evidence. I, and others, am thankful for her departure.
Ah, are you under the impression that people don’t say the same types of things about you?
If so, dissuade yourself immediately. They do.
Double click on Wall Street Journal. It is a pay site.
The article posted is from the opinion page of the WSJ. If they are trolls then I am the tooth fairy.
I wouldn’t advise posting any more of that.
I'm an advocate for liberals? I try to destroy conservative candidates? That is BS and you know it.
Now that you mention it, I remember that EV’s allusion to that got Petronski in trouble; remove it, please.
LOL! Nice? Surely you are talking to a different Mom..
And for the Blue Angel..many prayers and Godspeed..
Are you looking to get zotted?
All you have to do is mind your own doorstep. Quit expecting everyone to meet your personal standard. Better yet—get your own site.
Geez, try not to have such a tizzy.
I said the “same types of things.” Not the same things; face it, people SAY stuff.
You’re telling me to mind my own business while you’re minding somebody else’s?
ROFLMAO.
Good bye.
Hey thanks for reminding me! Come to think of it - now that the Freepathon is over EV can start posting 20 hours a day again! ;-)

I’m not asking that you be banned, FGS.
LOL!!!
Look. You’re already on the sh_tlist this evening. Why not just let it go?
You think it bothers me because I’m on your list? Gezz....
We don’t debate liberal trolls here, we zot them. Not worth the time or pixels.
