RINO's run together

Liberal Loveland Republican Don Marostica, famous for spending $100,000's to beat conservative Kevan McNaught by a few hundred votes in 2006, is supporting fellow RINO Rudy Giuliani.

From the Loveland Reporter-Herald:

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani will stump in Loveland and Windsor next week. He’ll spend the night in a Loveland hotel room on Friday night, then sip his Saturday morning coffee in a Loveland cafe shortly before meeting with local supporters at a Windsor country club.

State Rep. Don Marostica — a staunch supporter of the presidential bid of the former New York City mayor — said he had to make the commitment to host Giuliani’s campaign here on short notice. “They called me last Friday (and) said you have 11 minutes to make a decision, or else we’re going to take him to Lincoln, Neb.,” Marostica said. ...

The big spenders are mostly business people who will want to discuss business issues, Marostica said.

The Colorado representative expects to far exceed the $60,000 minimum required by the fundraising committee. “I don’t want to say it was easy,” he said, “but it was pretty easy.”

GOP Lawyer gives money to Dems

Prominent RINO lawyer -- and State GOP counsel -- John Zakhem has been giving money to Democrats.

The Grand Junction Sentinel reports the Zakhem gave $400 to Rep. Bernie Buescher. Additionally, former GOP state representative Gayle Berry also gave money to Buescher.

From the report:

In his campaign finance filings, Buescher reported receiving $400 from John Zakhem, a Denver-based, Republican lawyer and former attorney for the Trailhead Group, a political campaign committee that targeted Buescher last year.

“(Zakhem) is perhaps as prominent a Republican as there is out there, and I was very pleased,” Buescher said. “I think that is demonstrative of the fact that I’ve been able to reach across the aisle and work with members of both parties.”

More than 30 percent of Buescher’s contributions, $1,150, came from lobbyists, including $100 from former Grand Junction Republican Rep. Gayle Berry, the documents show.

Giuliani: I'm a liberal

From 1993: "They can send me a signal and vote for me on the liberal line."
