[Winco]

You just know this Talarico guy has had a c*ck in his mouth at some point in his miserable life.

Bubba says...."Hello Donald."

 

[Alicia J]

Because Talarico says that doesn't, but he does
He is dishonest

Was Talarico also impeached by his own political party for corruption???

How the **** does a Republican get impeached by his own party??? In Texas?????

You are just dirt stupid.

Lone Star Rising raised just under $9 million from its inception in September through the end of March, and spent almost all of it on ads supporting Talarico and attacking U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, his primary foe.

NINE MILLION DOLLARS! OHMAGAWD! THOSE BASTARDS!!!

The Jaw-Dropping Cost of the Texas Senate Primary: Nearly $130 Million​

That second round of voting between Senator John Cornyn and his right-wing challenger, Ken Paxton, the state attorney general, pushed another $29 million worth of ads in front of Texans before the election on Tuesday. The total bill for the Republican primary race? About $128 million worth of ads as of Monday evening, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact.

Are you against dark money and billionaires in politics OP?

This is how you make a Republican scamper away like a little cockroach, ask them a simple, honest, good faith question.

All they do is lie, because the truth is never in their favor.

As the Austin Democrat campaigns against big money in politics, he is being supported by a super PAC bankrolled by several billionaires, as well as nonprofits that do not have to disclose their funders.

James Talarico, the Austin state lawmaker and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, is running on a premise that the true conflict in politics is not left versus right, but a "top versus bottom" struggle between the ultrawealthy and everyday Texans.

At the heart of this message is Talarico's avowed support for curbing the political influence of billionaire donors. He has sworn off corporate PAC donations, proposed measures to crack down on "billionaire tax loopholes" to ensure they "pay their fair share," and advocated for outlawing super PACs.

But the cast of contributors bankrolling Lone Star Rising PAC, a super PAC in his corner, features several billionaires, many of whom are prolific Democratic donors, and dark money nonprofit groups that do not have to disclose their funders.

While donors are capped at giving $3,500 per election to individual candidates, no such contribution limits exist for super PACs, which can spend unlimited funds supporting or opposing candidates, including through advertising, voter mobilization efforts and polling, as long as they don't coordinate with a candidate's campaign.

Lone Star Rising raised just under $9 million from its inception in September through the end of March, and spent almost all of it on ads supporting Talarico and attacking U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, his primary foe. The group's treasurer is Alexander Clark, who overlapped with Talarico when both taught in public schools in San Antonio through Teach for America.

Super PACs like Lone Star Rising have been key players in Texas' Senate race — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and his Republican primary runoff opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton, both have such groups supporting them, as did Crockett. At the same time, dark money has surged in federal races, with Cornyn in particular benefiting from tens of millions in ad spending from a constellation of super PACs and nonprofit groups.

Both issues are thornier for Democrats, some of whom, like Talarico, have made getting big money out of politics central to their platforms. Ahead of the March primary, Crockett called him "a man that seemingly doesn't practice what he preaches," saying he had "welcomed and embraced these billionaires and their dark money support."

Talarico's campaign argues that 97% of contributions to his campaign account — which has raised over $40 million since he launched his campaign last fall — have come from small-dollar donors.

"The only way to stop super PACs like these is to vote out politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton who want corporations and billionaires to decide our elections, not Texans," Talarico spokesperson JT Ennis said in a statement. "James is the only candidate that's outlined a comprehensive agenda ... so we can fix this broken, corrupt political system."

When previously asked about the support he receives from billionaire donors and super PACs, Talarico has said he will not "unilaterally disarm while Republicans play by their own rules," and that he welcomes billionaire supporters who believe they should be taxed more and see their political influence limited.

Garry Jones, the director of Lone Star Rising PAC, said the group was "explicit" to donors that it supports much the same goals.

"Unfortunately we live in a political system in which, if you don't use all the rules to your advantage, you're left behind, and by being left behind, your ideas and principles and policy goals are left behind," Jones, a longtime Democratic operative, said. "You can't approach the current political climate with your hands tied behind your back."
