5280 Article on Dudley Brown and RMGO

[Jesus-With-A-.45]

i knew he made alot more money than he makes believe. and i allways said he sells fear. he sells fear to the masses.

Fear is all that Democrats sell, seems to work for them.

[BCMEAG]

Wonder where that BCMEAG user is that was supporting RMGO in the other thread?


I am at work, thanks for caring. I'll consider some stuff in the article, although it appears pretty one sided.

I still think it's good to support a state gun group. At this time, it appears RMGO is all we have.

There are a lot of errors and inaccuracies in the article, for certain.

The most glaring problem is the lack of details on how many Republicans lost their seat in the general because I/RMGO PAC pushed a candidate who was "too conservative", and how many won their seats. They list two state leg races, I think. I'll live with that record, as it's 8 to 1.

But to any naysayers -- I know I have some on this list, that's for sure, but I have the guts to face it -- I say this: show me which State Legislative races (SPECIFICALLY) we've lost. Be sure you know it was RMGO.

Lang Sias (that race was quoted in the 5280 story) is simple: he wouldn't tell us how he would vote on a whole raft of gun issues. I'll be happy to post RMGO's candidate survey, and you can see if you think these are fair questions to ask a candidate for office.

I like how you were able to rattle off those inaccurate statements. That shows you really care.

You failed to mention the salary portion of the article. Which leads me to believe the article is true.

You make somewhere between $70,000 and $300,000+.

Or did you just not get to that part yet?

Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

Shhhhh...He was hoping no one would notice that!

[davsel]

Or the shady photo tactics used to smear candidates you disagree with.

[Monky]

So... I'd like to point out who you supported.. and which ones lost.. but I can't seem to find any information about candidates on the site.. but I think I found 20 different ways to donate.

I mean the fund raising is already started, so I"m sure you're getting asked for support.

Over there... look.. ALIENS!

Public record: RMGO paid me $41.4k last year, while NAGR paid me $74.4k (including healthcare benefits). This was for organizations who brought in $199,800 and $7.1 million (respectively). So I made $115,800 last year from both organizations, or 1.6% of the total budgets of both groups.

If I took the same ratios (top exec vs. total income of organization) as the Independence Institute's top execs (who are paid $142k or 7.2% of II’s total income and $101k, or 5.1% of total), my pay would be more than $350k-500k year, based on 2012 numbers. That's not accounting experience (I've been working in politics for 24 years).

And those are recent numbers. NAGR didn't pay me for the first two years. RMGO paid me a stipend for the early years. If I calculated the first 10 years work for RMGO, I would have been better off working at McDonalds.

Don't expect all of this to change how the naysayers feel, either. You'll find something wrong with anything I say.
