Special interests contribute $74,000 to Ron Richard in September

Casinos, payday loan companies, lobbyists, pharmaceutical companies- you name the special interest and there is a good chance it contributed to Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, in September.

Richard's October campaign report, filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission, shows he received $74,350 in September, spent $91,045.20 and still has $377,730.17 in the bank.

Richard's biggest expenditure,  $55,000, came from a pair of contributions to the Missouri Senate Campaign Committee.

Missourians for Excellence in Government. Who would have a problem with them? All these donors are only interested in good government. To suggest they have anything personal to gain by this fine American's election is just downright cynical.

Of course, the Godless heathens funding the liberal agenda are using their filthy drug and prostitution money to undermine the morals and future of American children. Real American children.

It goes without saying, that everything I have written so far is satirical nonsense aimed at the gullibility of those who foolishly believe this self deluding line of logic.

Have a nice day (-;

My fondest memory of Ron Richards is when he pounded on my desk and said "Don't you know who I am???" while demanding a change that was both against company rules and industry regulations and would have gotten me fired. If only I could have replied "yes, I know you--you're a blood-sucking political hack for sale to the highest bidder" but I needed the job.

Randy continues to fail to report contributions by locals to the State Auditor.

And we all know why.

If you are speaking about the six-figure contribution made by TAMKO's David Humphreys to the state auditor, and I have a feeling you are, you apparently have the same shortcomings in reading as you have in writing. I have posted information about Humphreys' contribution to Schweich three times. I also wrote about similar contributions he made to Schweich's campaign in 2009 and 2010.
