Democratic Senators Listed As Sponsors For GOP Fundraiser

JACKSON, Miss. -- Eight of Mississippi's Democratic state senators are listed as co-sponsors of a fundraiser for Charlie Ross -- one of their Republican colleagues who's running for lieutenant governor.

The fundraiser is Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in Jackson. It costs $500 per person or per couple.

The invitation said the event is to honor Ross for his leadership on tort reform.

Ross helped push through laws last year to limit where lawsuits can be filed and how much can be awarded.

Democratic Sen. Ezell Lee of Picayune said he did not know he was signing on to sponsor a fundraiser. He thought he was simply putting his name on a resolution to honor Ross for tort reform.

2. Booooo!!!!

This is almost as bad as that "fundraiser Bono did for for Rick Santorum."

3. From what I understand, Santorum was just scalping tickets. n/t

6. That was my point.

God, I wrote a nasty letter to Bill Frist last week. Maybe I'm throwing a fundraiser now.

9. I thought that was false

There was a discussion on it a while ago.

[mattclearing]

14. Hence the quotes. n/t

[sakabatou]

4. This is why Sen. Ezell switched long-distance carriers 3 times in 1 year..

"Democratic Sen. Ezell Lee of Picayune said he did not know he was signing on to sponsor a fundraiser. He thought he was simply putting his name on a resolution to honor Ross for tort reform."

Who lets an idiot like this sign their own name to things????

5. Good God does their dishonesty know no bounds?

The one guy claims he was duped into sponsoring this... I'd like to hear about the other 7.

Good Grief.

7. You Know, Dem Senators Have Also Shown Up At Moonie Events

oddly, I'm willing to consider that those 7 Democrats weren't aware of what was going on.

there was a story yesterday about GOP person who worked for the GOP party calling up election office reporting an entire building was invalid. He forced thousands of building's residents to have to go to court to get their vote count.

Point being, GOP'ers excel at being deceitful, lying bastards.

8. not so surprising - dem reps don't seem to be aware of much

of anything - they weren't aware that *Co was lying - they don't seem to be aware that our military is being destroyed - they don't seem to be aware that the national debt is over $8 TRILLION - they don't seem to be aware that the debt is increasing at the rate of $3.64 BILLION per day - I could go on and on and on.....

10. do you think that welcome parties to congress

include mandatory kool aid? :shrug:

[UpInArms]

11. maybe it is all the notes that float in the soup bowls

promising piles of money from the corporations :evilgrin:

[WhiteTara]

13. ahh. I see the fortune in the fortune cookie

and it says that all who partake of the crooked way will have much prestige and power.

[WildClarySage]

12. Why the hell are dems supporting his efforts to strip citizens of the

right to hold businesses and individuals accountable for their mistakes/misdeeds, in the first place? Why are they stripping jurors of the right to make decisions based on facts presented at trials? Why aren't people pissed that the fact that this 'dem' is supporting a republican's efforts to curb accountability and strip people of their rights?

[oregonindy]

15. Demopublican and Republicrat hand in hand in swindling this nation

[damntexdem]

16. Never trust a Republican.

They'll sell you down the river, and then pollute it behind you.
