Um... why did Progressive Majority give $500 to John Kline?

[Dickie Flatt]

John Kline is a Republican. A conservative Republican. A very, very conservative Republican. He is just about the polar opposite of a progressive.

So why did Progressive Majority give him $500?

:wtf:

1. holy crap. What the hell indeed.

fyi, it is in the ideology / single issue column. Took me a minute but I am computer illiterate.

2. I have no idea. Do you know anyone who belogs to PM?

I think they'd want to know.
It must be a mistake. :shrug:

3. I sent them an email

We'll see what they have to say about this.

I tried calling them but they didn't have an operator or anything, just some extensions I can call. How do I know who I want to talk to? They don't even tell you what each person does!

4. Good. They have some 'splainin to do.

:grr:

calling themselves progressives....

5. The funny thing is...

they really do send money to progressives/Democrats. And they sent money to Patty Wetterling.

7. It could be a mistake on the website.

just put it in the wrong column.

8. Here's the explanation

If you look at the actual FEC filing, the name listed is Jeff Kline.

Looks like the FEC screwed up and listed John Kline on this page, which is where OpenSecrets got their information.

So it looks like the FEC fucked up here, and John Kline got nothing from Progressive Majority.
