Texan Anarchist


.
"It's not just a matter of 'Hey, they've been there a long time, let's get rid of them,'" Linbeck says. "It's more like they've been there a long time and they’re disconnected from the voters in their district, and they would win without some other force coming in. Well, we're that other force."
Their criteria is straightforward. For CFPA to take action they look at four factors: The district must be solidly red or blue ("we're not looking to swing power from one party to the other," Linbeck says); the challenger must be credible and capable of standing on his own; the current incumbent must be entrenched—no freshmen; and their own private polling has to show that there's actually a chance their candidate could win.
So, here’s a small group, four I think, who have raised $1.8 million to target the declared enemies to make sure they cannot be elected. They work particularly with redistricting to make sure those they targeted cannot run.

Hey, go read the article yourself. If you don’t conclude these are sick rich folk.
