Dean Dohrman (r) and his friends still think your stoopit. Yesterday the following campaign mail piece on behalf of Dean Dohrman (r) arrived in mailboxes in the 51st Legislative District:

The Missouri Club for Growth PAC is still sending out campaign mail ten days after the election – November 14, 2014.

Big government special interests? What the hell is that? All noise and no substance. You can get away with that when you have an unlimited amount of money.

Dean Dohrman (r): the inconvenient truth of those votes for SB 509 (November 1, 2014)

We got a lot of mail today in the 51st Legislative District (November 1, 2014)

The last piece of mail (November 3, 2014)

State Representative Lyndall Fraker (r) on the funding of republican primary challenges in the House:

Rep. Lyndall Fraker ‏@Fraker4Mo

Mo club for growth continues to slander conservative mo house members spending over a 1/2 mil $ in 4 races. #whoarethefiscalliberals? 9:56 PM – 1 Aug 2014

You can thank Rex Sinquefield.

During the next legislative session we’ll be eagerly looking for Representative Fraker’s (r) ethics reform bill limiting campaign contributions.

Jay, I wonder what they’re gonna spend all that money on? Nothing says “grassroots groundswell” like a check for three quarters of a million dollars from one person.

At their web site:

MOCFG PAC

The mission of the Missouri Club for Growth Political Action Committee is to work towards electing leaders that will stand up for economic policies that will help grow jobs and bring prosperity to the State of Missouri. We will work to hold all of our endorsed candidates accountable to the promises they make during the campaign season. We look for leaders that have the knowledge and passion to fight for what is right and have the courage to stand up for their convictions.

Apparently no one told the republican majority in the General Assembly.

The Missouri Club for Growth PAC’s most recent web site post:

Moribund. But a half a million dollars can certainly jump start it.
