The liberal AZ blog Rum, Romanism & Rebellion claims that the state GOP has no money. Funny, since reports on the Federal Election Commission website indicate that the AZ GOP has more money than the AZ Dems. Apparently Rum, Romanism & Rebellion didn’t bother to check the facts before they went off on a knee-jerk attack making up their own “facts” to fit their spin. According to FEC.gov, AZGOP has on hand $71,466 while the Democrats have $66,686. Guess the Dems have even less “finances to manage.”

I wouldn’t worry about it. Rum, Romanism and Rebellion has no credibility, and much of what is posted there is just half-truths and angry rants. It’s really not worth your time to disprove the propaganda coming out of that website. It’s comparable to the Phoenix New Times (the newspaper that has to give itself away; even its porno ads don’t attract enough perverts to pay for it).
Nice to have a fiscal conservative at the helm… No danger of that with the Dems I suppose. They do love to spend, spend, spend!
Since when have the facts mattered to the left? And it is important to disprove liberal propoganda. Just look how the Democrats lies about Iraq and W have taken root in the media.
It’s typical of the left to make facts up. They seem to live by the philosophy that if you say the same thing enough times, no matter how outrageous, it must be true. It’s no wonder the left keeps trying to snipe at Pullen and his team. If I was a Dem and saw that much action out of GOP HQ this early, I’d be scared too.
