This Makes Me Sadder than Sad: Updated

Tom Crawford reports that the State Ethics Commission is widening the probe into Oxendine's donations. By the end of the day, will Ox or will Ox not send out an email blast alleging that he is the victim of a vast right wing conspiracy? Oh, wait...

I think Ox is the Ralph Reed of 2010, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Update: Read Galloway. They went for the right wing conspiracy before close of business.

Vernon Jones Gave to the Georgia Republican Party

7:15 p.m. Update: per "Scriptwriter," these checks were for tickets to George W. Bush's inaugural ball. So, what? Is that supposed to make Democrats feel better about Jones? The checks were still to the Georgia GOP. And, apparently, according to this poster, not only did Mr. Jones vote for George W. Bush, twice, he was apparently so thrilled by his election that he went to D.C. to party with Bush when he took office in 2001. I know I feel better now. How about you?

You're not the only one who can search the FEC website, Vernon. This falls under the heading, "be careful what mud you sling." Vernon Jones not only brags about voting for George Bush, twice, according to the FEC, he gave money to the Georgia Republican Party in 2001, twice, and not a little bit, either. See below:


JONES, VERNON
DECATUR, GA 30030
DEKALB COUNTY/CEO

GEORGIA REPUBLICAN PARTY
01/12/2001
1232.00
21990182796
01/12/2001
1232.00
22990400879

Let me point out, that's not a contribution to a particular candidate that Jones had some affection for, or a "wartime president" and was made well before Kerry didn't come to Georgia. So, all of those excuses are simply crap. This is a contribution to the GOP, and everything the GOP stands for, and a vote for Jones is an endorsement of the leadership of Bush, Perdue, and, oh, yes, Saxby. It's time we called Jones what he is: a REPUBLICAN.
