40. On a RW group! You give a source that's agreed with DU's take on these allies too much

power and credit. And then bash a DU'er who agrees with their not dissimilar take expressed by other DU'ers.

Like their message all you want -- hell, I like them, too -- but don't put me down for my distrust -- hell, everyone else has in this thread -- and don't ignore who they are and what they do behind the hype. The Project has been criticized for channelling most of the group’s spending through two of the founders’ consulting firms. Galen, who owns one of the firms whose Project collaborators are Republicans who don’t want to be publicly identified. Keeping this party alive is the long term goal. We know they and the people they want to get to vote against Trump are never going to be Democrats.

But to raise the issue that we need to shut up while our allies are working for dual ends? That doesn't work for me.

If I were to believe you, the Democrats couldn't win without these guys. I beg to differ. Trump and his 5th column gang provide enough material. Think Democrats don't have fight ad potential?

One recent example among many...

The Biden campaign tweeted a ten-second video of Trump promising supporters that, if he loses, “I will never speak to you again,” and appended a snarky caption: “I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”







I won't give them a dime BUT they are spending million of dollars on swing state ads mucifer Oct 2020 #1
THIS is a concerted effort by Trumpists to attack TLP. I am pragmatic about their support hlthe2b Oct 2020 #2
Yes. AND I'm supporting DU's discussions about TLP's trustworthiness. I'm not rejecting their help. ancianita Oct 2020 #4
Yet you are disseminating an uncorroborated hit piece on them at the very time we NEED their help. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #6
You want to hear them in their own words? Bottom line, THEY ARE KEEPING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ALIVE. ancianita Oct 2020 #7
and you'd prefer that Trump win thereby keeping the Trump-Republican Party Alive? Honest to gawd.. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #9
What is with you? Of course not! Just beware their ultimate goal. Yes, let them keep up the ads. ancianita Oct 2020 #14
There is NO ONE here who needs this admonishment not to give over our full trust to former R's hlthe2b Oct 2020 #15
You interpret me back to me? Reread the OP title. ancianita Oct 2020 #17
You deign to speak for ALL DUERs? Really? Neither of us do. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #18
Of course not. So now your issue is over wording in the OP. If I meant ALL, I'd have written ALL. ancianita Oct 2020 #26
No. As I've written repeatedly, my issue is with you disseminating a RW hit piece. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #29
On a RW group! You give a source that's agreed with DU's take on these allies too much ancianita Oct 2020 #40
Stop it. No one is bashing you, just your actions in disseminating a RW hit piece against our ally hlthe2b Oct 2020 #41

What is concerning is that this looks like Trump Campaign misinformation. NT Mike 03 Oct 2020 #8
Are you shade casting here about my being a dupe? I go by FEC filings of their spending. ancianita Oct 2020 #13
One thing to note the major players in TLP are podding together. They are frequent testing and mucifer Oct 2020 #25

Exactly right. I'll worry about the "opportunist apostates" when we're done with the greenjar_01 Oct 2020 #24
One source's opinion that mirrors DU discussions suddenly becomes a "coordinated campaign," eh. ancianita Oct 2020 #31

This sounds like trumps lapdogs at the FCC doing his dirty work. GemDigger Oct 2020 #12
Or they're just printing out spending reports. You don't want to know TLP's spending, up to you. ancianita Oct 2020 #16
So you trust trumps FCC more? 60 minutes had an interview with TLP last Sunday. GemDigger Oct 2020 #21
FEC. I meant FEC. That 60 minutes show? I posted that. ancianita Oct 2020 #28
I do not trust or respect anything that comes out of this White House or entities they can control. Demsrule86 Oct 2020 #39
They have. If you trust TLP's spending, fine. I don't. I'm looking beyond their great work ancianita Oct 2020 #44
I am glad they are part of the 2020 election cycle Vinnie From Indy Oct 2020 #19

Accuse Charlie Pierce and The New Yorker for navel gazing, while you're at it. ancianita Oct 2020 #49
