This just in - the party of the scoundrels actually got the illegal donations in 1998 and has kept the funds while appealing through the courts!
Judge Daniel Barker, writing the majority decision, stated that the aim of the party is "to elect all Democrats.'' And that, Barker said, means a donation to the party furthers that goal and, by definition, influences elections.
Marty Harper, one of the lawyers for the party, has a different opinion (obviously) - Harper said Judge Barker is at least partially off base in suggesting that the sole purpose of the party is electing candidates. Harper said it has other functions, including developing a philosophy.
HUH???
That is lame, Harper...you should lose your lawyer-ing license for lame-brained excuses such as that.
The real issue, though, is that you know....I know...we ALL KNOW...that the AZ Democratic party knew when they took those funds that it was illegal and they were just hoping to get away with it.
