Sorry I'm Late, Let's Get a Drink
LPASC: Sorry I haven't posted in quite a while, I've been writing like hell, just not here. I've put some articles out on OPEDNEWS and I've started a new blog about campaign reform called money and politics, I'll put a link to it on the side. If you don't know, there is a group called Drinking Liberally. It's a group of liberals getting together in a relaxed atomosphere and sharing ideas. It's on Thursday at The Handlebar, 304 E. Stone Ave, Greenville. If you show up, I'd like to meet you.

If You Lose, Work For A PAC
LPASC: Have you seen the Metro Section of The Greenville News? It seems that Mike Campbell, the son of a politician (He ran fot Lt. Governor and lost), has gotten a job with a conservative based PAC(The Greenville News calls it a "watchdog group") .That's a good trick. Lose an election, work with a PAC, but god forbid you should go out and find a real job. I guess that if you were brought up sucking off the government tit, than it would be a real let down to actually have a real boss. This guy knows how to follow the money, so he joins an organization that asks for donations so that they can "oversee" how your government spends it's money. The group, called Americans for Prosperity, is a PAC devoted to the privatization of Social Security. They pretend that they want to save taxpayer money to disguise they're real purpose.They actually ask for donations on their website, I guess so that with Mike out of a job and all, they can open a chapter right here in SC and give old Mike a job. His Daddy would sure like that. He doesn't like the idea that Mike might have to go out and
work and all. Mike has friends in high places. Remember George W. Bush's daddy doing that campaign spot for him? His Daddy and the Old Mr. Bush were right friendly now, so Mike was sure to find a job that befitted a man with such
stature, until he can run for something else, so that the taxpayer can continue to pay his family's mortgage and grocery bill. Meanwhile, this Republican PAC will just have to tide him over, until he works his way into the hearts of the voter, in some other capacity befitting one with such a pedigree.
In other words, business as usual in this well connected GOP state.
Have a great Labor Day, I'll drink a beer for you all.
