bedsitter23The 2012 election is long over, but like a big 300 pound rock shaped like Iowa that says Romney, some things remain.
Like allegations against Michele Bachmann about illegal campaign activities.
The revelation this week is that Bachmann paid a state senator thousands of dollars under the table so he could be paid for this work, but not get in trouble with campaign laws. Bachmann (allegedly) overpaid a consulting company that would turn around and cut the Senator (Kent Sorenson) a $7500 monthly check.
At the risk of this being a public forum, let me just say I wouldn't vote for Sorenson if he was running against Francisco Franco (living or dead).
Allegations and articles about Sorenson over the years:
-He's pro-gun, and by that he thinks that convicted domestic violence abusers should be able to buy guns.
-He probably broke into someone's computer (after being denied permission) to get a list of names of people who homeschool, so he could hit them up for donations.
-Sorenson, the kind of guy who is so Conservative that he calls John Roberts "Benedict Arnold" and wants Supreme Court justices who vote for gay marriage impeached, also has a drug conviction, tax trouble, has filed for bankruptcy, and been cited for not paying his child support.
In any case, at least Bachmann got value for her money, right?
No.
Sorenson jumped the sinking Bachmann ship on December 28, a week before the caucuses to support Ron Paul.
Bachmann always maintained that Sorenson was offered a large sum of money to do so, so Sorenson has always denied that.
The person filing the complaint with the FEC is an evangelist and Bachmann's National field coordinator.
Both Bachmann and Sorenson deny any wrongdoing.
