Nothing you have stated about White or Rainey has anything to do with St.George.

You can call me whatever cowardly names you want, but you still haven't answered this fools question.

FACT: All supporters of the St.George movement remain unpaid volunteers. If you can PROVE otherwise then go ahead, I'm waiting.

How about I turn it around...

FACT: There are paid supporters of the St. George movement. If you can PROVE otherwise then go ahead, I'm waiting.

The problem is the st. george movement didn't file as a political group so there are no disclosures. instead they filed as a corporation. So no one can PROVE anything about the payments or lack thereof.

I tend to believe that there are not any paid employees. I also believe that White (and Rainey through him) are going to make some money off this. I also really don't care.

I prefer not to look at the possible motivations of people, but rather the policy implications of an issue. An exception would be if I could not trust someone to follow through on an issue/implement a policy correctly.

The truth is some people are opportunistic, but if we never voted for anything simply because someone might profit over it then we'd never have the USA.

I suspect White has a political agenda. I don't know Rainey, but he could be after future business. But so what?

St. George should stand on its own merits and be judged accordingly. Worrying their might be public corruption before St. George even incorporates is really ridiculous. There is plenty of public corruption in La. already.

Stopping St. George because a politician and a business man are helping the organizers is ridiculous. Aren't politicians and business people helping the St. George opposition?
