That being said, merit pay is just another Republican red herring and should be round-filed along [...]
Article by John on December 29th, 2008 at 10:42 pm Just read this from Judith Shattuck, the Washington State Coordinator of the Progressive Democrats of America.

This is raising legal questions as normally items that are personal in nature cannot be purchased with campaign funds. Seems to me that since Cindy McCain grossed over $4.1 million last year (and over $6 million in 2006), John should have asked her to pick up this minor expenditure. After all [...] | |
