This screen shot was sent to me by a dedicated reader of our blog; it was actually placed on a website by the Carver County GOP.

"All GOP elected officials for sale to the highest bidder"

You knew it; the Carver County GOP simply made it official.

For more on this story, read:

1 -  Common Cause's "GOP Auctions Off Legislators To Lobbyists"
and

2 - MN Observer's "We've already established what you are. Now we're just haggling over the price" and

3 - City Page's "Carver County Republican Party tries to auction off legislators, then denies it" and

4 -  Bluestem Prairie's "Carver Co GOP pulls lawmaker auction; lobbyists will have to find other means to buy Republicans".

Back in February of '09, I did a blogpost quoting then-GOP Chair Michael Steele:  "You have absolutely no reason - none - to trust our words or our actions at this point.".

True then, true now, and tomorrow won't be any different.
