Media Slut

GOP lawyer sold on Dems

5 top candidates impress trial attorneys: 'I couldn't eliminate one of them'

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


Sun Times Reporter 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.

Sun-Times 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 [sic]...  [Chgo Sun-Times: Turning Big Dem Contributor into 'Staunch Republican']

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

This crap was not even that creative just simple deceit and despicable lies.
