Classy.

Move America Forward has collected millions to send care packages to U.S. troops. But its assets have been used to benefit conservative political consulting firms close to its Tea Party founder.

Minor mistake in location. All Marines received their care package. Another liberal lie.

Remember this guy? Seems to be a Republican habit.

Former Walker aide Tim Russell gets prison for stealing from veterans group


Tim Russell, a former aide to Scott Walker, was sentenced to two years in prison and five years' probation for stealing money from a veterans group.

Tim Russell, an aide to Gov. Scott Walker when Walker was Milwaukee County executive, pleaded guilty Thursday to one felony count of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from a veterans' fund in exchange for prosecutors' pledge to drop two other counts against him.

The plea agreement by Milwakee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf makes no mention of Russell's cooperation in any other cases except his own. Landgraf said he will ask for no more than 30 months' incarceration and 30 months' extended supervision, a total of five years. The prosecutor said he also agrees not to file any other charges against Russell, including misconduct in public office charges.

Russell left the hearing immediately upon its conclusion in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. His attorney, Parker Mathers of Milwaukee, told reporters after the proceeding Russell is looking forward to bringing the case to an end.

MFW replies:

Old news. Unlike liberals in power Walker dumped him immediately.

Jackpine: Just pointing out that Republicans like stealing from veterans funds.


MFW:

OK, this is nothing compared to the veterans hosp where people DIED. What is
Obama doing? Studying it. The republican congress is fixing it.

Jackpine:

Your statement is a gross misrepresentation of the nature of the problem. Because you would pay no attention anyway, and because you have already ignored critical details of the VA issue I documented for you in earlier emails, I'm not going to put the effort into blowing your crap out of the water AGAIN. 30 seconds for you to make a smartass remark, 30 minutes for me to correct your crap, 1 second for you to ignore it. A losing game for me, which I'm not going to play any more.

1. +100 on the moral of the story.

I've done all the arguing I'm going to do with what I call "the Bubbas of the World" (named after a guy I corresponded with for months, and who, like MFW, was incapable of following an argument or assimilating facts contrary to his worldview).
