Two men affiliated with the Arizona Republican Party allegedly attempted to make a campaign donation to a Democratic congressman while posing as communists in an apparent sting attempt.
The men, believed to be members of the Northern Arizona University Republicans, attempted to give $39.68 to the campaign office of Democrat Tom OHalleran while desperately seeking a receipt for the money for the Northern Arizona University Communist party, reports The Guardian.
They pair are alleged to have wanted to make a donation in the name of the communist party in order to smear the Democrat by associating him with the far-left.
The men used the aliases Jose Rosales and Ahmahd Sadia while attempting to make the donation. When they were informed that they would only get an emailed receipt for the donation, Rosales scratched out one email and wrote another in while filling out the required paperwork.

(24,396 posts)admired W for what illegal things he could get away with doing. He looked on it as a strength.
He also didnt care that Clinton was acquitted in his impeachment trial. All that mattered to him was that Clinton would go down in history as a president who had been impeached.
This is how these assholes think.

(1,990 posts)stealing the 2000 election by getting the recount stopped ranks the highest I think. All those disenfranchised voters whose votes were not counted (either overvotes or undervotes, but ones clearly indicating a preference).
I don't get Michelle Obama's lovefest with W, given what he did. One has to draw the line somewhere.

Northern Arizona University's main campus is in Flagstaff with over 30,000 students, ranked by U.S. News as 230 out of 301, and is a high-research institution highly dependent on public funding and other grants. If Oscar gets tossed out, guessing the Republican Party will find work for him.
