"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

This states he's going to have a dinner tonight with a $1000 minimum to attend. It also states that he'll have a host committee with $50,000 donors. I hope these larger donations aren't a step down that slippery slope.

What would help is transparency. Everything said in these dinners should be public. And a list of who the big-time donors are would also be necessary. Folks are less likely to have a hidden agenda when they donate if it's know that their donations will not be secret and won't be in exchange for favors.

"He knows he's not going to be able to match Jeb Bush with hundreds of millions dollars," Jones contends, "but he needs to very quickly show that he can match up with Rand Paul and Marco Rubio and Chris Christie and show that he can raise enough money that he can be competitive and viable."
