Journal pudge's Journal: Democrats Give $10K to Walser Following Guilty Plea 3
The Senate Democratic Campaign Committee gave former Sultan Police Chief Fred Walser the tidy sum of $10,000 for his campaign on June 17, almost two weeks after he pled guilty to providing false information and was sentenced to one year in jail.
The obvious question is: if you're a Democrat on the ballot, what do you have to do to NOT get money from the party? What sort of corruption will the Democrats in power NOT overlook from one of their own?
I think the money will likely go to waste, and that he will not have a legacy as an elected official. But there's always skateboard parks.

It's this kind of thing that keeps me from being a Democrat (any longer than I needed to be to throw in a PA primary vote for "not Hillary").
Of course, it's statements like Bill's above that make me grumpy at the right wing too--if there's one thing both Bush and Clinton taught us more clearly these last two decades, it's that the constant between liberals and conservatives is that almost all of them at the national level are self-serving power-hungry jerks.

Yeah, I am no fan of the GOP at the national level.
What I really hope is that people get so turned off by the federal political scene that they focus that much more on local politics ... which is how it should be anyway ...
