We'll keep you posted this election season...
I see some good folks in there.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans tried to take out Diaz through the courts, but thankfully there Truth won the day.
I bet the US Chamber of Fixing Elections will find a way to bring it up though.
Too bad Haley does not believe in transparency so Mississippians can know where the money is coming from.
ReplyDeleteAnd too bad consumer groups don't have bottomless checkbooks like the corporate crooks who try (and often succeed) to fix our elections.
