Marty Wilson is a slimy, nasty little Wilson operative who jumped on the Arnold bandwagon right out of the gate. He is a key cog in the rancid RINO machine that has worked to smother conservative grassroots activism in California for the past 15 years or so.
My guess is that the Kennedys put in a call and brought the whole thing to a grinding halt.
I want to know whose money they were hiding. There are several articles mentioning that on 9/11/07 Pete Wilson/Eckery's group took $175,000 from "Missouri Lawyer" Charles Hurth III's organization, TIA or Take Initiative America (a tax exempt non-profit established on 9/10). They refused to disclose who funded TIA. Reports say Hurth is a Giuliani supporter and Pete Wilson just endorsed Rudy. That seems a logical place to look.
On a side note, I would assume Hurth III is grandson of the old NY Mets General Manager, previously President of the Southern Association. Maybe these are Rudy's baseball-fans supporters, LOL.
Why would the Kennedys cut it off? They prefer their Dem puppets to their RINO puppets?
I guess the Lundgren Lover is gonna be on the new FOX News Channel's Financial News program as well as doin his regular bit on KFBK for miserable moderates RINO talk radio!!! You know... Sacramento's favorite "tacos!" (that's what it sounds like when the announcer introduces him)
Sacramento County Sherrif John McGuinnes fills in in Tom's abscence and bores me to death like that miserable moderate political hack Gary "Girlyvoice" Dietrich... Judas Priest!!! Yech!!! Spit!!!
(snip)For his part, Rudolph Giuliani, who has been working his way around California this week, said he played no role in the initiative effort, and did not know Mr. Hurth, who contributed to his campaign earlier this year.
As far as I am concerned you can leave it the way it is, Mr. Giuliani said during a news conference here. In fact, in some ways, you might consider, I think that this is a state I can win. That might actually favor some of the other Republican candidates who might have a more difficult time winning this state. I think this is a state I have 50-50 chance of winning.
(Update) A postscript: The New York Daily News reported on its political blog that Mr. Giulianis top fundraiser, Paul Singer, told the paper that he was the sole financial backer of the initiative. Mr. Singer is a member of the national finance committee on the Giuliani campaign.
In response, Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, issued a statement saying: Given his role in the Giuliani campaign, voters deserve to know the truth about Rudys involvement in and knowledge about this shameful effort to disenfranchise voters.
