More Fischer Hypocrisy? Bandwagons and Everything?

May 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Kinda. The Lunsford campaign has finally put out a flyer with information that we have long reported here at Page One.

Highlights:

Despite the fact that Bruce Lunsford served as Treasurer of the Kentucky Democratic Party nearly thirty years ago and has contributed over $120,000 to Democrats, Greg Fischer and his campaign repeatedly attack Lunsford and call him a Republican. At events throughout the state, the Fischer campaign has circulated flyers attacking Lunsford’s past contributions to Republicans.

…but Fischer Has His Own Record of Supporting Republicans…

Greg Fischer has contributed to Republicans too. Campaign finance records reveal that Greg Fischer has made contributions to conservative Republicans like Rebecca Jackson for Judge Executive and Anne Northup for Congress. Additionally, Fischer did not contribute to John Yarmuth or Jack Conway in either one of their bids to unseat Northup. [Kentucky Registry of Election Finance; Federal Election Commission]

Fischer claims he comes from a strong Democratic family, yet immediate family members – who are actively involved in his campaign – have supported GOP candidates as well. Greg Fischer’s biggest campaign backers, his own family, have a similar record of funding conservative Republicans. George Fischer, Greg’s father, contributed to George W. Bush and Bob Dole, among others. Fischer’s sister, Lynn Fischer has even contributed to Mitch McConnell in the past while she’s bashing Lunsford for doing the same thing. Why hasn’t Greg Fischer publicly admonished his family members for making those contributions? [Kentucky Registry of Election Finances and Federal Election Commission records as of April 2008]

…and Fischer Only Jumped on the Democratic Bandwagon in Time to Help Himself.

    So, let me get this straight,
    Because Fischer is giving to Democrats more lately than before, he is a hypocrite?

    How can you even think of leveling the charge of hypocricy and at the same time defend a caimpaign quitter, party-jumping, healthcare defrauding, republican contributing, Dubai horse racing Muktoum buddy, faux Democrat like Bruce?

    Kentuckians have beeen duped by smoke and mirror obfuscations like Lunsford’s many times,
    many by Mitch. Even we can have enough .

    And we have. There is no comparison between Lunsford and Fischer.

    If it were not so, Bruce would not be so preoccupied with the problematic truths he is having to confront because Fischer tells them.
