Much more....

They filled up the post boxes in my blue state, blue district, with a lot of lying promotions for baggers running. And attacks on Democratic candidates.

All of them were mailed from some town in MT, no return address, no organization, just the town name. So mad I cursed at the mail box.

There is nothing too low, including running with made up party names, with dog whistles for those who know them.

Even had a bagger run as a Democrat in a district that was blue, planned to change to GOP as soon as got in office.

Grifters, crooks, vermin.

on behalf of grifters, crooks, and vermin. They want everyone to know they're considerably above the GOP. It's best if a friend tells you these things.

FRONTLINE travels to the remote epicenter of the campaign finance debate for a tale of money, politics, and intrigue. How has the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision changed campaigns in America? Ask Montana, which has tried to challenge the ruling in court, is investigating alleged campaign abuses and is playing host to a bitter race that could decide control of the U.S. Senate.

Here's the transcript, it's chuck full of shocking eye-opening nuggets:

I was utterly shocked at the fact that anyone could be so careless. But hey, I'm glad there was a paper trail.

State of Montana slaps conservative 'dark money' groups for campaign violations

HELENA – In far-reaching decisions Wednesday, Montana’s top political cop said
a prominent “dark money” group and similar groups appear to have broken state
campaign laws when they coordinated mailers promoting or attacking candidates
in a 2010 legislative primary election.

The rulings from Commissioner of Political Practices Jonathan Motl also said evidence
shows former state Rep. Dan Kennedy, a Laurel Republican, accepted illegal contributions
from the same groups and failed to properly report those donations.

Motl said the rulings send a message to Montana candidates and groups that would flout
state disclosure laws, warning they must fully report spending and donations for
campaign-related activity.

He advised candidates to “avoid such activity” in the 2014 campaign.

Commissioner: Evidence of illegal 'dark money'


Montana's commissioner of political practice said Wednesday that he found evidence
of so-called dark money groups illegally coordinating spending with at least one candidate.

Jonathan Motl warned potential 2014 candidates to not accept aid from third-party
groups without paying for and disclosing the help. Penalties, under state law, could
include fines _ and even removal from office or future ballots. The cases shed more
light on angry disputes over anonymous spending in Montana races that has fractured
the Republican legislative caucus, led to a number of legal battles over state laws and
attracted the attention of a federal grand jury.

Motl released five decisions siding with a former Republican House candidate in Billings,
Debra Bonogofsky. She alleged former state Rep. Dan Kennedy, also a Republican,
coordinated mailers in 2010 to avoid campaign finance laws.

The commissioner said the investigation will now expand to other 2010 and 2012
legislative candidates, because one Bonogofsky complaint widely sought relief on
behalf of all other candidates who were unfairly targeted by unreported spending.

That the documents found at the meth house were stolen from their car. What the article doesn't say is whether this claim was made before or after they were found at the meth house. If before it could have merit but if afterwards it smells to high heaven. Also, what possible use could the meth house have for retaining those documents and since the obvious answer is none it really detracts from the believability of the claim.

guns, God and meth!

IIRC this group was also associated with the GOP party organizer who killed himself after being arrested for kidnapping and rape...

Or something likeS that. Same septic tank...

...after all, he is, er, was a self-styled Libertarian.

What part of the American Tradition is that?

That explains why the Tea Party is batshit crazy . . . . meth will do it to you every time!!!!

I'll be interested to see where this leads.

that they've now how to kick out for fraud. Seems they attract sleeze when they get power. Good folk get out of conservative politics and those on the right are left with bad apples.

those principled God-fearing T-Partiers who voted in Doug Lamborn in Colorada would be involved in dark money and meth.

people to do some kind of work for them. You know, something nefarious like steal a laptop from an opponent. My first thought was the meth folks took the stuff for protection or ransom. We'll see....

looks like the case is getting very, very interesting.

What lengths will they go to destroy democracy?

Color me awestruck. Stay tuned.

That's often a problem when people come into a lot of money suddenly. Happens in Hollywood, Alberta tar sands workers, anywhere where the sudden arrival of money mixes with immaturity.

But THOUSANDS of pages found in several BOXES in a meth house? I smell a money laundering operation -- the same kind that would explain what happened with all the Oxycontin Rush Limbaugh bought and is too alive to have used!
