News GOP Returns GOP Money
posted by on August 9 at 15:53 PM
I’ve been paying a lot of attention to Dino Rossi’s nonprofit group Forward Washington.
My spider senses are tingling because—as a complaint filed by the Washington State Democrats alleges—it seems pretty obvious that Rossi’s group is actually an illegal partisan campaign organization.
One batch of evidence includes all sorts of goodies about Forward Washington’s leadership: Members include an outspoken conservative; the chairman of a county GOP committee (as in Kittitas County); and a Discovery Institute board member—among other things.
So, here’s an interesting thing: Just four days after the Democrats filed their complaint with the Public Disclosure Commission alleging that Forward Washington was nothing more than a GOP committee organized to promote a Dino Rossi bid for governor, the Washington State Republican Party returned a $700 contribution from Mathew Manweller. Manweller is the aforementioned Chairman of the Kittitas County Republicans.
I have calls in to both Manweller and the Washington State GOP to find out why the $700 was returned. Could it be that the state Republicans where trying to downplay how actively and electorally partisan Forward Washington’s “nonpartisan” shop is?
It's in the cards

Your spidy sense is tingling because you are an ignorant. My wife and I attended the annual WSRP Gala a few months ago. We purchased a "weekend cabin getaway" in Monroe for $325 and we bid $700 and won a 5 night cruise in the live auction. However, when we went to turn in the cruise certificate, it was invalid. So, Luke Esser, the WSRP Chair, in his kindness, gave my wife her money back. No conspiracy here. No illegal activities. Just Luke Esser doing the right thing for my wife. Josh, you are really a pathetic little man.
