According to an AP article, questions are being raised about Jon Corzines “donations” to various black churchs in New Jersey.
New Jersey Sen. Jon Corzine, a former Wall Street executive with a portfolio worth $261 million, has been giving some of his money to black churches, raising questions about whether it’s generosity or politics.
The Democrat, who is in a tight race for governor, donated or loaned more than $2.5 million last year to black churches. He has received the endorsement of more than two dozen black ministers.“Blatant quid pro quo-ism,” said Democrat Walter Fields, Jr., former political director of New Jersey’s NAACP. “We have always had wealthy candidates running for office. What we have never had is that individual wealth being used in such a direct way, and somehow we’re supposed to look the other way.”
…The Rev. Reginald T. Jackson, executive director of the Black Ministers Council and pastor of St. Matthew’s AME Church in Orange, N.J., said black ministers have been making personal endorsements of candidates since 1981. The council does not make endorsements.
Jackson’s church has received thousands of dollars from Corzine over several years, including a $50,000 loan last year.
Hey, I thought Dean said that his party was going to bring ethics back to Washington!
Dean is a bald face liar. The DNC, the Clintonistas, and every Democrat in DC is trying to bury the Cisneros IC Report. There are bombshells about Democrat corruption and tax code violations that the Dems want to bury as deep as Jimmy Hoffa.
The demacrats are up to no good as usial and the liberal left-wing news media covor for them all the time after all they covored for bill clinton during his 8 years of cheating,lying and selling out our nations greatest top secrects to the chi-coms:lol:

The shocking part of this story is how expensive it is to purchase the ghetto vote.. in philly, it just costs $4 for a pack of kools, $2.00 for a Colt 45 40oz and a ride to the polls…..
