Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican Party chairman, arranged the startup financing for a GOP telemarketing company implicated in two criminal cases involving election dirty tricks.
Virginia corporation records show Barbour's investment company arranged a quarter-million dollar loan to GOP Marketplace in 2000 and also gave a promotional plug to the telemarketer several months later.
There is something interesting here, however. I've been in business and never asked party affiliation before using another's services. If it was the right service at the right price, that's all that mattered. Could have been dealing with Green or Libertarian for all I know. It appears that's the first thing Bushco looks for. Deal only with Republicans...always.
Is that suspicious? Well, unless you believe no Democrat could ever deliver what was needed, yes it is. It has the appearance of dealing only with those who will scratch your back and they will do so only because you will do the same for them. Its the inbreeding I've mentioned before.
