Jack Le Moine (Diary) Sunday, March 14th at 1:48AM EST (link)Thanks for the comment. I think that this guy has been better than most. I will always admire him for being the lone “big guy” to oppose Campaign Finance. Virtually everyone else close to the top was either supporting it or making excuses. This guy stood tall and virtually alone. I forgive many sins for that.
I just posted this because I think it is good to review the essential facts about these top leaders. This, and more to follow, are meant to be informative background info.
