Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Bob Schaffer: Jack Abramoff Corruption in Colorado

    There's an ad out there that is pissing off Colorado Republicans, even though all it does is tell the truth. The ad calls attention to Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer's connections to convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his clients who are sweatshop owners on the Northern Mariana Islands. The U.S. government found that women employees were mistreated and abused. But Schaffer defended the sweatshops and took thousands in campaign donation from their owners. The video shows these connections:



    I am always amazed at how furious Republicans become when people try to hold them accountable for their corruption. Abramoff was a major part of the Republican Party machine across the nation. Face facts! The Republican Party has to purge itself of these corrupt bastards if they don't want to be constantly attacked for corruption.

    And remember, the numbers don't lie. FAR more Republicans are guilty of, indicted for, or under investigation for corruption than Democrats. Republicans like Bob Schaffer, like Alaska's Don Young and Ted Stevens, and Ohio's Bob Taft and Bob Ney, Kentucky's Ernie Fletcher, Illinois' Dennis Hastertt and Texas's Tom DeLay are all part of a Republican culture of corruption that out sleazes anything we have seen in this country since the Harding Administration. It is time to stop the corruption. Defeat Bob Schaffer by helping out Mark Udall for Colorado.
