[Vision2020] Confused about Moore/GOP

[Mark Solomon]

You don't have to go as far as Michigan to find 
frivolous legal complaints from Republicans. You 
can start right here in Latah County where the 
Latah Republican Party once filed a legal 
complaint with the county prosecutor asking that 
I be removed from office as county commissioner 
because I was -- *gasp* -- sleeping with my wife. 
Almost two years of investigation resulted in a 
16 page Opinion of the Attorney General 
downloadable at

http://www2.state.id.us/ag/ops_guide_cert/1992/g122492.pdf

that reluctantly affirms that in Idaho, 
Democrats are allowed to sleep with their wives. 
Will wonders never cease.
