The dozens of pages of filings for the year do not go into detail about where the flights were headed or where the hotels were booked. The purpose of the travel expenses was not clear.
But they appeared to criss-cross the country. In January, August and December, the campaign spent $2,268 for tickets on Alaska Airlines, a transcontinental carrier that does not offer flights between East Coast cities such as Raleigh or Washington.
Shame on you, MCT. You know full well that campaign donations are speech.
A less-biased report would state that almost 900,000 US dollars spoke in support of John Edwards political activities in 2011.
What donations? These are taxpayer moneys that Edwards stole.
I know, for you Dems… “distinction w.out a difference,” yes?
But thanks for acknowledging the “(non-stole) money is speech” aspect. Between you and the well-capitalized presses of the New York Times, this must have been a difficult tooth to pull.
