Secret GOP Fundraiser Subsidized by Tennessee Tax-Payers


About the Nashville Fundraiser, Starring Dick Cheney - Republican Spokesman Chris Devaney "would not say where the home was, who lived there, how many people attended or how much tickets cost for the event. . "

The money raised at Saturday's secret GOP fundraiser in Nashville - starring Dick Cheney - will go toward the project of getting a new GOP man into the Billie Frist senate seat, according to state Republican spokesman Chris Devaney.

That would be either the former Chattanooga mayor Bob Corker, or the former U.S. Reps. Van Hilleary and Ed Bryant. The three white men are fighting amongst themselves for the honor of running against the African-American and Democratic U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr. of Memphis.

Devaney boasts that the event raised a quarter of a million dollars for the little project of keeping the Secretive and Incompetent Party in power.

The event was held at an undisclosed location on Post Road, somewhere near Belle Meade. The account in today's Tennessean reveals, "[Chris Devaney] would not say where the home was, who lived there, how many people attended or how much tickets cost for the event, saying he would rather not disclose that information. The White House press office directed questions about the event to Devaney."

The media was not allowed to attend the clandestine political orgy.

What is the Incompetent and Secretive Party hiding this time, you ask? Our sources tell us that Post Road is known to be occupied by several prominent members of the Mafia. Billie Frist and handmaiden Marsha Blackburn were spotted at the clandestine Republican event.

It took 85 police officers to get the Fat-Cat Cheney motorcade from the airport to Post Road. So how big of a secret can the undisclosed location be?

The bill for escorting Dick Cheney to the quarter of a million dollar fundraiser on Post Road will be paid for by tax-payers in Tennessee.

Why are tax-payers in this dirt poor state required to foot the bill for escorting Dick Cheney to secret locations where money is as plentiful as old incompetent white men in power?

Does the Republican Party really need subsidies from Tennessee taxpayers in order to continue its one-party monopoly in Washington?

And why doesn't the Republican Party want the public to know who hosts and attends their clandestine events?

Note: The Tennessean refers to Devaney as the state party chairman, but the GOP website tags him as:
Executive Director.
