“ | After
watching the top five Democratic candidates for president speak before
a trial lawyers' group Sunday, attorney Jim Ronca of Philadelphia, a
staunch Republican, became certain of one thing: He is not going to
vote Republican in the 2008 presidential election.
He will support the Democrats.
"I'm not only going to vote Democratic, I'm going to
financially support the Democrats," Ronca said after a luncheon forum
of the American Association for Justice, featuring Gov. Bill
Richardson, Sen. Barack Obama, former Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Hillary
Clinton and Sen. Joe Biden. "The Republicans in Washington are an
embarrassment." Chicago Sun Times

Jennifer Hunter is, to be kind, terminally credulous. I'm certain
your brain alarm bells were clanging at the phrase "I'm a lifelong
Republican, but ..." Warner Todd Huston at Men's News Daily is a
reporter Ms. Hunter might want to emulate.

writer Hunter dug up a supposedly "staunch Republican" named Jim Ronca,
a trial lawyer from Pennsylvania. Mr. Ronca, claims Hunter, is "certain
of one thing: He is not going to vote Republican in the 2008
presidential election."

Unfortunately for the Sun-Times' attempt to make Ronca seem the
dyed-in-the-wool Republican, Mr. Ronca has a long, long history of
being a Republican who financially supports Democrats. In fact, a quick
review of his public donation record proves that he almost never gives
to a Republican at all. Out of the 10 candidates he's donated to, only
two of them were Republicans... and one of those was Arlen Spector

As you know, I'm a staunch Democrat, but after this I will never vote for one of those fourflushers again!
