Nikki and Benji didn’t do Jill Long-Thompson any favors with this article.
INDIANAPOLIS – Republicans are urging Hoosier voters to “follow the money” as they leveled criticism this week at Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jill Long Thompson for raising most of her campaign cash outside Indiana’s borders.
The Indiana Republican Party broke down contributions from the first quarter of 2008 and found that more than 70 percent of Jill Long Thompson’s fundraising came from Washington, D.C. – her old stomping grounds as a U.S. congresswoman.
And 74% of the total thru the March 31st reporting date is from Emily’s list, the pro-abortion PAC.
“Jill Long Thompson’s reliance on her friends in Washington, D.C., to fund her campaign raises serious questions about her plan for Indiana,” said Indiana Republican Party Chairman Murray Clark. “Why are these special interests playing such a big role in her campaign?”
By comparison, in the first quarter of 2008, 71 percent of Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels’ contributions came from Indiana; 10 percent came from D.C. and 19 percent came from other states.
The next set of campaign finance reports aren’t due until July 15, but the GOP noted that according to Long Thompson’s supplemental filings – which are required for large donations – she has received $805,000 from out-of-state sources in the second quarter of 2008.
Washington-based EMILY’S List has given $100,000 since the May 6 primary, and the Service Employees International Union gave $500,000.
EMILY’S List supports “pro-
choiceABORTION” women running for Congress or governor, and the SEIU represents 2 million workers in four key sectors: hospital systems, long-term care, property services and public services.“Jill Long Thompson should change her campaign name from ‘Hoosiers for Jill’ to ‘D.C. Special Interests for Jill,’ because Hoosiers don’t appear to be supporting her campaign,” Clark quipped in a statement.
When asked about Clark’s criticism of her fundraising, Long Thompson at first deflected the question with complaints about Daniels’ recent commercials.
Imagine that.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH BEING PRO-CHOICE. YOU CONSERVATIVES MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT. I’M SO GLAD I GREW UP IN THE DEMOCRATIC BASTION OF CHICAGO. I NOW LIVE IN DELRAY BEACH FL SURROUNDED BY 600,000 JEWS. OR AS YOU LIKE TO CALL US CHRIST KILLERS. OBAMA WAS RIGHT YOU ARE ALL BITTER. BY THE WAY I AM VERY PRO GUN AND OWN A 357 MAGNUM. I STILL BELIEVE IN A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO AN ABORTION AND TO FREEDOM OF RELIGION SINCE I AM ALSO AN ATHIEST. YES YOU CAN BE A JEW AND NOT BELIEVE IN GOD..LET’S HEAR YOUR RESPONSE TO ME WHITE BOY..SOCIALISM RULES!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t choose to moderate my views.
Wow,to bad your mother did not have and abortion, what would you say then?
I don’t think atheism IS a religion…is it?
So how’s about handing all that money back with IN GOD WE TRUST on it, eh?
B.G.
Abortions weren’t legal in 1957. Atheism is a belief just like religion. In God we Trust has only been on our money since 1864.
How sad for you and all the abortion rights people that you don’t understand what “choice” means. A woman does have a choice- prior to getting pregnant. When she becomes pregnant a new person is created, with their own choices to make.
Sometimes, through rape, a womens choice is taken away. That is horrific. The person who violated the woman should be prosecuted for taking away her choice.
A person who decides to have an abortion is trying to erase their original CHOICE, at the expense of the new PERSON that their CHOICE created.
Atheism IS a religion, and we should all realize that as issues move forward regarding our rights as Christians. As calls for removal of the Ten Commandments and Prayer continue, we need to understand that this is ATHESIM trying to force their religion on us!
Finally, Christians do not blame the Jews for killing Christ. We know it was all of us, each and every sinner that hung our Lord on the cross. Calling Jews Christ-killers was just some anti-christian rumor the michael moore followers started.
I pray that God touches your heart!
Look up your history Jews have always been called Christ Killers.
