</img>Whatever you may feel about Mr. and Mrs. Bartha's politics, Mr. Lamborn appears to be having an "Alberto Gonzales" moment with respect to his recall of these two gifts.
Jonathan and Anna Bartha are decent people who used public records to hold a politician accountable. That is what people in a democracy are supposed to do.
You say that the Barthas spread false rumors about candidates. Newsflash buba: what the Bartha's said was true and is backed up by public records. Lamborn did not return the donation until AFTER they sent the letter out.
Finally, if Lamborn were so squeaky clean, why did he threaten the Barthas? He is a US Congressman who just threatened a constituent. Can you say two years and out? He will serve 730 days and leave in disgrace.
But, this is how Lamborn is "lying" while figuratively telling the truth in Lamborn's denial that he has never accepted a contribution from a COMPANY. He didn't say he hadn't accepted a contribution from an INDIVIDUAL who was the manager of a casino. Marc Murphy is an INDIVIDUAL, not a COMPANY. But, in the candidate's forum, he clearly acknoweldged Marc Murphy is in the gambling industry and he justified accepting Murphy's money. Marc Murphy didn't want to see any expansion of competition by any expansion of the gambling business and that was good enough reason for Lamborn to take his money. Lamborn is as dirty as he says he not on taking gambling donations. He just is parsing words on "Company" and "individual" in his "I've never accepted" denial.
Many thanks. Keep it up.
Here is a link to the list of donors, search for IGT on it:

Also, Wendy Norris posted a copy of actual documents for the donations. It is pretty clear that Lamborn is doing far more than simply stretching the truth.
I don't know if he is referring to plaguing them with locusts or merely preaching at them... and I'm not sure which is worse either. One thing can be said, however, he certainly lacks tact.
In doing so, he could accomplish his desire to "resolve on the Scriptural level" the matter he finds himself so troubled by and avoid responsibility for the result (it's what Republicans of his ilk do so well!).
Pastor Wiley Drake would be proud.
