"For conservative political group, money speaks volumes."This an excerpt from San Diego City Beat on Land of Lincoln Club posted this spring. Great article, and a real course in the big business of slate mailers and the deception intregral to the Lincoln Club's strategy. Thumb through and look at who is being endorsed in 2012. Then tell us it is bipartisan.
"If money equals power, the Lincoln Club wields it like no other local political organization. Its 400 members, whose annual dues provide a guaranteed source of money for the group’s political action committee, are a who’s-who of lobbyists, developers, Republican-backed elected officials (and their staff members) and high-profile business owners—the people behind Mossy Nissan, Jerome’s Furniture and Coles Carpets sit on the club chairman’s special advisory committee.
Though the Lincoln Club describes itself as nonpartisan and focused on “pro-prosperity” candidates and issues, what and whom it chooses to support is almost always partisan. “In many ways, the Lincoln Club is the Republican Party in San Diego County. [ . . .] “In many ways, they’ve followed the model of most conservative organizations, in which you don’t plan for the next battle, you plan for the next war.”
Why is this relevant to our Encinitas Election 2012? Thank you for asking.
The Lincoln Club endorses Kevin Forrester, Mark Muir and Jerome Stocks.
For the Lincoln Club's Party it is about money and it is a winner take all war.
