Hey, remember what one of the main points about Free Speech and asking for redress of grievance were to the Framers? That’s right, that government couldn’t retaliate. Of course, to Democrats, the Constitution is a living document, and screw the intentions of the Framers who spilled blood to free this country
North Carolina Democrats are trying to counter a political donation blitz by the family business of a conservative activist by hitting his wallet.
The state Democratic Party announced Wednesday it wants voters to boycott dozens of Roses, Maxway and other discount stores in North Carolina operated by Art Pope’s family business, Variety Wholesalers. A Variety Wholesalers subsidiary has given at least $390,000 to two political groups targeting Democratic incumbents in legislative districts.
Hey, I wonder who this hurts? That’s right, the people who work at these stores. Sure, the owner, Art Pope, gives quite a bit to Republicans, which, in Liberal World, is baaaaaaaaaad. Instead of you know, actually countering the ads, showing that they are false, Democrats pull this stunt, because, apparently, according to Andrew Wheelen, Dem party executive, “Pope is a right-wing extremist who is seeking a corporate takeover of state government.” Uh huh. So, I guess Dems can’t actually refute the ads, so, they go with smears and ruffian intimidation tactics.
Mostly, Pope is aiming at the NC State legislature, rather than the federal positions. And Dems are not happy campers about the potential losses, just like at the federal level.
