GOP Make Bad Effort at Online Fundraising
Three new Republican websites have sprung up and are vying with the successful Democratic or liberal sites in gathering money for the candidates, seeking to balance out the Democrats enormous advantage in raising money online. Trust the Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot again, however. The general counsel for one of these groups is also the top lawyer for Rudy Giuliani’s campaign. That might be okay if and when he becomes the eventual nominee, but for the moment, it requires donors to all the other Presidential candidates to trust his integrity. Rudy Giuliani announced his most recent divorce at a press conference before telling his wife; his second police chief was formerly his driver, and was discovered to have been physically abusive and have mob ties; Giuliani keeps on the payroll at his consulting firm a Catholic priest fired by his diocese for child molestation (hands up if you want to be advised by that guy); and the man Giuliani chose to run his operations throughout the South was a coke fiend. But you can safely give to Rightroots because the integrity of the whole Giuliani team is above reproach...and moving right along to ridicule.
PS: Sorry for my absence. I followed suit with the President and the legislature...of both America and Iraq...in taking a good part of August off.
