The Democrats want to the the left’s ‘BIG BOX’ political ‘CATEGORY KILLER” and, to do that, they went after their biggest foe: the newly formed Independent Party. The Democrats knew that the group, reportedly 55,000 strong, would shave crucial voters from their party’s count and so had to kill the party. The Democrats told the Attorney General’s office that the newly formed party was asking potential nominees for money, in a pay to play shake down. The AG’s looked into the situation and–gasp–nothwithstanding all the outrageous behavior to the contrary chose NOT to prosecute. They even owned up to the shakedown in a phone calls with a Democratic Party operative:



.In the call, Sal Peralta, the Independent Party secretary, tells Ben Unger, a Senate Democratic campaign operative, that candidates “should kick in” to help defray the cost of an election among the party’s membership.
Unger, whose call was being taped as part of a state investigation of the Independents, asks, “if you want to participate, you have to pay?”

    “Yeah,” replies Peralta. 
On Thursday, Peralta said he “misspoke” in the call and later made it clear to candidates that they didn’t need to contribute to get the party’s nomination. He said no one was trying to profit personally from the growing demand by many of Oregon’s most prominent politicians for the official backing of the Independent Party.

Apparently political shakedowns are legal. We really are in Obamaland.
