Weldon resorts to faking 7th district supporters

You know you're desperate when you can't even find ten regular voters in your district to vouch for you.

In an email today from the Weldon Victory Committee, Curt claimed that the recent FBI probe into his dealings with his daughter's lobbying firm are nothing but a left-wing conspiracy. As we all know, the FBI is just riddled with liberals run amok!

In the email, ten purported 7th district voters offered their support to their beseiged incumbent legislator:

From: "Weldon Victory Committee"
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006
Subject: 7th District Voters Speak Out for Curt Weldon!

"Even a good Democrat like myself recognizes this "investigation" for what it is. Don't let it get to you. We'll win this one because Curt has earned another term!"
-Bobby Savoie

Now wait! Bobby Savoie?

That wouldn't be Lousiana Bobby Savoie who has worked for years as a bigtime political fundraiser? And who uses his gigantic donations to cobble influence with politicians in both political parties to help his businesses, like Apogen, that rely on defense, Homeland Security, and other GSA contracts? (Because, as we all know, good Democrats frequently make $25,000 contributions to organizations like the Republican National Committee, which THAT Bobby Savoie has done.)

That wouldn't be the same Bobby Savioe who quietly vanished from one of his companies when a Republican Senator (Grassley, R-Iowa) reported that Savoie's firm was improperly misusing a government contract, would it?

It wouldn't be the same Bobby Savoie who has made donations to Curt's campaign and his PAC...from his home...in Lousisana?

It must be, because we can't find a Bobby Savoie who lives in Pennsylvania's 7th district in the phone book.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Curt used an ethically-hobbled millionaire donor to make the case that Curt hasn't been unduly influenced by his very own money?

Curt's email closes:

Cleary the voters on the 7th District are not buying last minute attempts to smear Curt Weldon.

Clearly, the voters of the 7th District are not who Curt thinks we are.
