A “special-interest group” is an “organization that seeks to influence legislation or government policy in favor of a particular interest or issue” Black’s, p. 936. Under dt our government has expanded groups it treats as “special.” 9/23

Large corporations - domestic & foreign - and hate groups - you name ‘em! - enjoy greater latitude under this administration. Of course, Spartz doesn’t really reject spl interest groups or bureaucrats. She simply uses terms at which trump supporters salivate. 10/23

Spartz dangles magic “socialism” word before dt’s supporters’ eyes as validation of her views: “in socialist-controlled Ukraine, she experienced firsthand the dark side of socialism.” She need only use, not define, “socialism.” 11/23

Her use of “socialism” as stimulus to some INCD5 GOP salivation glands no doubt warms cockles of the heart of the man who runs USA. Of course, there are countries with sizeable portions of their economies functioning in socialism that work quite well. 12/23

We subsidize oil, aircraft and high-tech corporations - to name three sectors - with billions in public monies. That is NOT free market. Also, since the CEOs of those corporations do as they please, they’re not socialists. 13/23

I am GOP precinct committee person in Marion County, Washington Twp INCD5. State GOP Rule 1-25: “‘Republican in Good Standing’ ... supports Republican nominees and who does not actively or openly support another candidate against a Republican nominee.” 14/23

trump is not yet the Republican nominee for anything. He has committed, or at very least been complicit in acts of, treason w/Russia - & Russia is run by the same guy - Putin - that runs this country. 15/23

I rec’d e-mail solicitation for donation fr Spartz yesterday: “Democrats have truly gone too far this time, and the only way to stop them is to take back the House. That’s why it’s crucial that we win this battleground race in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.” 16/23
