Greed Kills…

Need another example of why the Republican Party implosion is in full swing? Despite their best efforts to pin liberal moneyed elite on any Dem they see as a threat, there is something almost surreal about the way these people swipe money. I’m not implying the average Rep voter is like this, but it’s a cannibalistic piranha school at the top.

Charles A. Morse, a conservative Republican gadfly from Brookline, ran a brief write-in campaign to unseat US Representative Barney Frank in 2006. It fizzled completely when he received just 145 votes in a primary and dropped out two months before the general election.

“I never saw him,” Frank said when asked about Morse’s presence in the campaign.

Yet the political fund-raising firm that ran Morse’s campaign finances reported that it raised more than $700,000 for his race, much of it from GOP contributors across the country eager to help defeat a Massachusetts liberal - and some of it donated well after Morse abandoned the race.

A review of campaign reports shows that, rather than spending that money in the Fourth Congressional District, 96 percent of the funds raised in Morse’s name were used to pay a politically connected direct-mail firm in Washington, BMW Direct Inc., and a coterie of BMW Direct’s affiliates and contractors. The firms specialize in national fund-raising appeals on behalf of conservative Republican candidates and right-wing causes. - Boston Globe

96 percent. I’m driving by, and I just can’t not look.
