Sour Grapes from Long Thompson

Earlier, I pointed out the differences between the Republican Governors Association giving money to Mitch Daniels (a small proportion of his total campaign war chest), and Jill Long Thompson receiving three quarters of her money from out of state (and from hyper-liberal special interests that are diametrically opposed to the beliefs of most Hoosiers, at that).

If you don’t see the difference between getting one dollar in eighteen of your campaign funding from a big out of state group, compared to three dollars out of every four, then you’ve really been spun.

Moreover, if you don’t understand the difference between the Republican Governors Association (whose only mission is to elect more Republican governors) and far left special interests like the pro-abortion group Emily’s List or the SEIU labor union, then you’ve also really been spun.

The RGA isn’t giving Mitch Daniels money to own him.

Emily’s List and SEIU pretty much now own Jill Long Thompson; they seem to be giving her unlimited money in clear expectation of a return on their investment in the form of the enactment of far left policies if she is actually elected (unlikely as that might seem).

Take a close look at the Democrat gubernatorial candidate when you see her on her phony “I’m going to only visit the small communities that have friendly Democrat-controlled local newspapers and media outlets” tour.

I suspect you’ll find “Property of Emily’s List” and “Property of the Service Employees International Union” tattooed or stamped on her somewhere.

A recent trip to the Indiana campaign finance website for the Long Thompson campaign, however, reveals that the whining of Dan Parker and JLT about money from the RGA are also just sour grapes.

The Democratic Governors Association gave Jill Long Thompson some money on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, they only gave her a token donation of $50,000.

It seems that Long Thompson’s campaign must not be viewed as being very competitive by Democrats if they are giving her only one-fifteenth of the contribution that Republican Governors Association is giving to Mitch Daniels, and it certainly cannot be seriously contended by anyone that she does not need more money.

But then, why would the DGA want to waste their money?

They’re in the business of electing governors, not state fire baton twirlers.
