Right-Wing Anti-Term Limits Reformers Get Caught in Their Own Spin

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

You gotta love the chutzpah of the term limit reform initiatives' opponents for trying to criticize the fundraising of the initiatives' backers. Yesterday they zipped out a press release decrying the contributions of health care groups to the reform campaign.<> <>But it was certainly a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The "anti" campaign, led by US Term Limit, has refused to detail its contributions --  largely because they are from rich, out-of-state contributors. <> <>And then there's the California based spokesperson for the group. State Sen. Chuck Poochigian, the candidate for the last campaign he worked on, accepted more than $60K from health care interests like Pfizer, Bayer, and Johnson & Johnson. That was topped off by $5,000 from Blue Cross -- which is spending $2 million to defeat the health care reform effort being pushed by Democrats and Gov. Schwarzenegger. <> <>No wonder that newspapers ignored the charges.
