Overheard banter from BFEE loyalists.

[blm]

Some of you members of longtime status here are aware that I have a few BFEE loyalists in my family. Two b-i-l's who are hotshots in the energy biz investment world and another who is big in the paper industry.

I haven't posted much the last couple days due to a death in the family. Unfortunately, it gave me an opportunity to overhear a few things.

They have been sending money consistently to the Dean campaign since March and so have others they know. They keep it in smaller donor amounts so it doesn't draw attention and have also done so through their adult children. Not hard, since they are College Republicans, too, and one is set to work in the drug industry through family connex.

They shut up when they noticed me because they won't engage me in political discussion, but, one of my liberal nieces told me they assume I'm a Dean supporter because of my hatred for Bush and my "Hollywood connections"...... Hahah....as if.

What I connect from the March timeframe is that is when Tom Delay made his remark about media attention for Dean pulling the Dem field further left, so he would do whatever he can to promote it. Of course, that goes with the media meme that Dean is an "ultra-liberal" and "antiwar" to make that case.

The GOP has Democrats nailed. They know EXACTLY how to pull the strings needed in the corporate media to get their desired results.
