Jones Rips Rice Over Donation He Seeks
Republican State Chairman Gary Jones (pictured) today ripped into Democrat Andrew Rice, saying the U. S. Senate candidate "is having trouble living up to his own rhetoric" because he's seeking a $5,000 special interest donation for his campaign.
Jones said Rice has challenged his supporters to "fight back against special interests and raise him enough money to match the size of one political action committee contribution. But now that Rice has the chance to win one of those $5,000 special interest checks, he’s going all out, challenging his supporters to vote for him in an online contest sponsored by the liberal Progressive Patriots Fund.
“On one hand, Andrew Rice has challenged supporters to fight against special interests. On the other hand, he's going after every left-wing liberal special interest group out there," said Jones. "Rice isn't even a Washington politician, but he's already proving he knows how to play the Washington game: say one thing, do another."
Jones said Rice has a history of championing special interest groups: "Whether it's the ACLU, labor bosses, environmental extremists, MoveOn.org, the Cimarron Alliance Foundation, or Howard Dean's Democracy for America, Rice has been a loyal foot soldier for the liberal special-interests."
Rice seeks the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat now held by Republican Jim Inhofe.
