Anti-Research Splinter Group Competing in GOP Primaries, Too?

Submitted by Howard Beale on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 11:41pm.

As noted this evening by Cole, the anti-research, anti-cures folks from the Missouri Roundtable for Life have filed anti-hope initiative petitions which will compete with the anti-hope measure filed by fellow anti-cures group, Cures Without Cloning.  But beyond competing with other anti-progress GOPers on the ballot initiative front, the Missouri Roundtable for Life may also jumping into the midst of a combative GOP legislative primary. 

Some are asking why the Missouri Roundtable threw a hefty $30,000 in "consulting" fees at the Legacy Group of Missouri last fall.  The Legacy Group of Missouri is owned by Gina Gentry Loudon, who'll be using that cash to bankroll her campaign for the 7th Senate District against GOP primary contenders Queen Jane Cunningham and Neal "Taxman" St. Onge. 

It is possible that the money paid by Missouri Roundtable for Life had nothing to do with Gina Gentry Loudon's campaign for her husband's seat.  Perhaps they just wanted an easy way to send $30,000 directly into the bank account of a sitting state senator?
