Right-to-work for less group still living on Wingnut Welfare

Proponents of Amendment 47 have faced anemic and embarrassing fundraising numbers to date. Through the April the group had received a $200,000 donation from Jonathon Coors and his company Coors-Tek and raised just $486 from other sources.

Today we find out that they have "raised" $355,000 in the latest reporting period
- $155,000 from the beltway Free Enterprise Alliance and another $195,000 from Coors.

Kelley Harp and his buddies on the Amendment 47 campaign have got themselves quite a boondoggle. They haven't been able to to raise $500 on their own. They've "raised" $555,798 and spent $306,427 all before the campaign has really even begun. I thought Republicans were supposed to be good with money? Oh, well so long as Coors-Tek keeps cutting the Wingnut Welfare checks (they've already donated nearly $400,000) who needs to be responsible or accountable, right guys?

I wonder when daddy Coors will turn off the spigot? After Jonathon has wasted $750,000? A cool million?

The inept buffoonery of the proponents of Amendment 47 is going to provide us with endless entertainment this election cycle.
