Griffith's Hypocrisy

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all who may come here!
I must be brief this time because I am working between food orgies. I will confine myself to just one point (among many), as you will see.
According to the local press Griffith has some $800,000 in his war chest. The same report also says what was already widely known: Much of the money comes from Paul Hubbert & Co., Alabama's most infamous liberal lobbyist. And here is the stark, awful meaning of that: If the imposter Griffith is allowed into our primary he will bring with him nearly $1,000,000 of ultra-liberal dollars which he will use to combat proven, legitimate conservatives. Need I remind you that, in addition to all else, this man is the Vice-Chairman of the Alabama Democrat Party?
Just think of it! THE MONEY OF OUR ARCH-ENEMY, THE VICE CHAIR OF THE PARTY WHICH SUPPORTS SO MUCH OF THAT WE ABHOR, BEING USED AGAINST US IN OUR OWN PRIMARY! Surely, surely we are not such wimps as can accept this!
In a remarkable dash of chutzpah and hypocrisy Griffith says he ''will return'' a contribution to any donor who may ask for it. And how many might that be? One percent?-- oh well, one and one-half percent, then.
Should Griffith have a sudden attack of sincerity, there is something that he can do. He can return all of his money, every penny of it, to Mr. Hubbert and his liberal gang without being asked.
To my surprise some of my conservative friends have been citing Griffith's hypocritical offer in argument that we should admit him to our primary. Alas! How deep can the political naiveté go even among our educated republicans? Our very own people falling for such a transparent ploy? It's a little embarrassing.
This finishes the one point I promised, and it's a good thing. It's time for the next eating orgy.
But again, Merry Christmas!
