CFL Spent $350,000 on a pro-war Colorado candidate

[brandon]

In addition to being a war-mongering neocon that wants to continue a major effort in afghanistan for at least 10 more years, this Buck fellow used to be a DA and prosecuted a landmark hate crimes case.

So The CFL are officially blowing almost their entire budget to support a Neocon "Thought-Crime" prosecutor that none of us have ever even heard of.

Absolutely f**cking outrageous. I regret donating several times to the CFL and never will again.

That's a lot of money/donations.

This guy used to work for Dick Cheney and is only at 15% in the primary.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

Is this supposed to be some sort of early April fools joke? Not funny at all.

The Federal Reserve is more transparent than the CFL.

Sucky week for me. AJ goes off on his own supporters and now this. I know we want to "win over republicans" but that doesn't mean sending money to support war hawks. Adam Kokesh could have used that money. So could RJ Harris or Peter Schiff. (Rand's in good shape right now). How about an ad buy for Debra Medina?

I can understand the dirty tit-for-tat $5,000 PAC donations that people trade back and forth, but (@#$@##@...$350,000!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm really waiting for clarification on this. Hopefully the number was wrong.

As an EX- state coordinator for the C4L, I cannot imagine that this
ad campaign is what it looks like it is.....

They are always pounding the "no supporting candidates" drum.

Just sayin....we need more info, but if this is true...................

Has anyone even confirmed that this organization is the same as the Campaign for Liberty that's related to Ron Paul. It looks to me like it's something else.

yeah where are the C4L people on this?

 

[JK/SEA]

Looks like C4L will fit right in at the TEAOCON convention.

This is pretty shocking. There is nothing on Buck's website that distinguishes him from any other AIPAC-pwned neocon.

I think the fact that Gary Howard is speaking for the expenditure is pretty damning.

Every one of us should go put a CFL blog entry up about this very topic.

 

[Todd]

Is CFL going to cease and desist with this guy?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

The candidate could be pulling the typical Jingoism and Jargon to get elected and THEN, pull a Bushy/Obozo 180 on campaign promises.

We've seen it before... so who knows what's up with this guy. What's his voting record?

He has one strike for being another Attorney into government politics...

Notice what it says here:

It’s unclear whether the “Campaign for Liberty” praising Buck is the same “Campaign for Liberty” behind Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential bid.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not. I think people here are jumping to conclusions.
