Yep, it’s gotta be mail.
When the special interests fight for control, the voters and Democracy get trampled.
One has to wonder what the old style republican corporatists are thinking now that the right wingnut crazies are the dominant force of nature in their world. It’ alive, it must be fed, and they helped create it.
Pass the popcorn.

….from the Missouri Ethics Commission:
These right wingnut astroturf (fake grassroots) organizations will continue to have and use all the money they need to prop up lunatic fringe candidates. Given Mike McGhee’s (r) legislative history, it’s all about the installation of a useful idiot into a position of power – an individual not interested in the problem solving processes of good government, but one who is easily distracted by the fear and division of inconsequential wedge issues. It’s a political sleight of hand which allows the money people to get away with everything, all while sticking it to an electorate which has been primed to vote against good government and their own self interest.
