.. state AGs , especially the DemoCrap ones , have a habit of trying to play dirty . Anyone who is remotely familiar with the grand Tobacco Settlement [read : extortion] of the very late 1990s can understand that …

.. now , we are seeing the flipside of the efforts at disclosure of campaign finance and a person ‘ s contributions to a non – profit . People , including me , are rethinking their positions …
