rw chamber of commerce takes state chair of WV Dem party-GOP INFILTRATION
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 05:10 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
and people ask why gore and kerry can't get any support here-or why byrd is in such a tight race. the GOP now is officially running the wv dems and getting rid of prominent dems and replacing them with rw plants like gove joe manchin


please flood the wv dems with emails-the dem congressional delegation is at risk as is any attempt to take back congress with GOP plants running state parties

Democratic leader’s affiliation with Chamber raises eyebrows


By Paul J. Nyden
Staff writer

Nick Casey, chairman of the West Virginia Democratic Party, is a registered legislative and administrative lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform.

Some critics are questioning Casey’s association with a national group that routinely supports Republican candidates.

Last year, the state Chamber of Commerce and West Virginia Medical Association worked together to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on television advertisements attacking incumbent Democratic Supreme Court Justice Warren McGraw, who lost the election to Brent Benjamin.

- advertisement -

The ads blamed McGraw and the Supreme Court for many of West Virginia’s economic ills.

Casey filed his lobbyist registration form with the state Ethics Commission on March 11.

6. He's also done a helluva lot of pro bono for the Catholic Church.
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 05:28 PM by Just Me
No doubt about it, both he and Manchin are DINOs. They are riding the waves of big business and religion as far as possible.

A coup is taking place in West Virginia, via the back door. Our environmentalists and social advocates and peace activists are all stirred up.

9. In several states....
At least, Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, there has been democrats in name only discovered....

NEOCONS who registered and voted democrat....In order to hide their agenda behind a democratic face. :mad: :mad:

Its outrageous....And it has national implications. Hell, they might even be influencing John Kerry....I used to think he was totally against this kind of thing...
