Lie, Cheat, and Steal

Is this a post about wrestler Eddie Guerrero of the WWE, whose "motto" is lie, cheat, and steal? Um, no, it isn't.

It is, however, about the fact that the Washington State Dem Party has been fined by the state Public Disclosure Commission for not reporting (in essence, telling a lie, trying to cheat - again - and, again in essence, stealing) just who contributed money that was transferred by the national DNC to the state party coffers. It took the state Dems 104 days after the deadline to cough up the info, too! How much was the fine? A whopping $187,500.00! That's a lot of money from the pockets of ordinary (although misguided, in my opinion) people that was wasted by their party leadership.

Apparently the party leadership doesn't care about that though, as it seems that their unofficial new motto is Lie (about the issues), Cheat (during elections - win at any cost!), and Steal (money from their own constituents!).
