Imagine you’re a private citizen; you’ve built up a successful business through years of hard work and enterprise. And now you want to give back, by supporting a candidate for president that shares your views. You can afford to donate a million dollars to the candidate, and so you do. You even take a figurehead role in the campaign, as large donors often do, as a measure of recognition. Then you wake up one day to learn that your entire life and livelihood have been ransacked—just as surely as if identity thieves had stolen your credit card. Only these thieves are employed by a shadow company that, you learn, is employed by the President himself.
It sounds like a cheap premise for a pulp novel.
But it’s not—it’s exactly what just happened to Frank VanderSloot, CEO of an Idaho Falls wellness-products company named Melaleuca. Mr. VanderSloot gave $1 million to Restore Our Future, a Super PAC that supports Mitt Romney.
Soon after making his donation, Mr. VanderSloot discovered that a certain Michael Wolf was trying to dig up court records on Mr. VanderSloot. But not just any records; Mr. Wolf was looking for dirt. He was looking for any documents on Mr. VanderSloot’s past marriages, or past grievances with former employees.
This is where Kim Strassel’s reporting in the Wall Street Journal nailed it. Her investigation revealed that Michael Wolf had sent a number of faxes to the clerk’s office of the Bonneville County Courthouse, trying to find something cheap and tawdry to hang on Mr. VanderSloot.
He failed at that. But not before Ms. Strassel figured out exactly who “Michael Wolf” really was. In his document requests of the court, he listed only his name and a private cellphone number. But he had been, until just a few months prior, a law clerk on the Democratic side of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Seeking the more glamorous life, apparently, he then went to work for a company named Fusion GPS—which is in the strategic intelligence business, aka, opposition research, aka dirty tricks.
When Ms. Strassel was finally able to get someone at Fusion GPS to answer the phone, she was met with one “no comment” after another. But clearly someone at Fusion GPS was worried that they could easily be linked with the President, so they sent an email to Ms. Strassel saying:
“Frank VanderSloot is a figure of interest in the debate over civil rights for gay Americans. As his own record on gay issues amply demonstrates, he is a legitimate subject of public records research into his lengthy history of legal disputes.”
The “gay” charge was a total fabrication, a stutter step meant to throw off Ms. Strassel’s attention and presumably that of her readers at a time when the president was taking considerable heat for his flip-flops on the gay agenda: did he support it, did he not; was he himself gay, was he not? The story was changing by the day, by the hour. And throwing out a totally unfounded but salacious comment that a supporter of Romney’s is a gay basher would have exactly the effect intended: deflect attention away from Obama.
Lacking the decency gene, the Obama campaign has kept focus on what matters to them: keeping their and Obama’s job and power.
We think people see Mr. VanderSloot for exactly who he is: someone whose only crime was to donate a million dollars to a Super PAC. He is just another name on the long list of people on Obama’s enemies list.

How anyone can vote for this lying president is a mystery. He is a total fraud, a closet gay and a threat to this country. Osama would have been a better president. At least we knew who he was. It will devastate this country if he gets four more years.
We can't let this moron get back in office.
Well, Gunner, from all the recent polls (if you can believe them), it appears that the numb-scull idiots are going to prevail again and put this illegal alien back into office. No one in authority seems to give a rat's rear that he is not qualified to be president because of being born in Kenya. It has been proven as fact…..but no one cares. Romney should be shouting this from the roof tops..but no……..not as much as a whisper. Beats the hell out of me.
According to the REAL polls, Romney is WAY up. Keep in mind that Oblameo is suing Gallop Polls over showing Romney ahead.
In fact, the WH "asked" Gallop to come to the WH to "discuss" how they do their polls.
In 1980, Carter was way ahead of Reagan in the 'polls' and you should know how that turned out. I believe the people are lying to the pollsters giving the impression that they like obama. The pollsters always over sample democrats by 10 to 15 percent and under sample republicans and independents. Polls and statics, same things can be skewed to get any result you want. Its all in the way the questions are worded. You can ask two similiarly worded questions covering and get two different responses, so its all in how the questions are worded. So if the people are lying to the pollsters or the questions are deceptively worded, the results can be the same
what if the people vote in Romney, but the ELectoral College votes in Obama?
Is Mr. VanderSloot's name on Obama's kill list too? It probably is since he got on the bad side of the messiah,
I guess the old adage of "beating someone fair and square" no longer applies in our America. I'm old enough to remember when, if people thought they or their children offended you, they would apologize profusely and make any reparation necessary. What the hell happened to this country? What kind of degenerates strive to win by pawing through someone's privacy and exposing them to the world just because they hold opposing political views? I keep hearing the Democrats (and sorry, it seems to be primarily Democrats) say they believe in American values and fairness. Who are they kidding? They seem to be totally infiltrated by the most disgusting scumbags who don't know how to win a contest fairly; they only know how to denigrate, vilify and destroy their opponents – and they consider this the norm in a contest.
Continuing….Why else would they file lawsuits against Voter ID laws? All minorities – yes, even the poorest of them – have to have an ID for the various benefits of which they are the recipients. Why else would they even have organizations like ACORN or Project Vote that seek to blackmail banks into giving loans to people who could not possibly afford to pay them back? [Think about the cruelty there is in this: giving hope to people who could never afford to keep their homes, yet making is possible for them to have that dream, only to have it taken away. How inhumane! It smacks of slavery, doesn't it? – only under a more sinister guide. Shame on the Democrat/Progressive/Marxist-soon to be Communist party that is currently in control of our govt. We need to overwhelmingly defeat them in the fall. Vote to save our country. Vote against the destructive democrat party!
We have plenty of dirt on obama but the main stream media will not bring it out……..
To ANYONE out there: Don't talk to the true believers out there (whether Conservative or Liberal/Progressive), but talk to those who you KNOW don't know what we know. Talk to… oh, say ten of them. It's scary what so many people don't know. They're asleep. They hide behind this MORONIC idea of "you shouldn't talk about politics or religion. REALLY? What kind of group do YOU think came up with something like that? Conservatives? uh, no. Libertarians? oh, most certainly not. Then whom? We're destroying ourselves. We outnumber the Liberal/Progressive lemmings… we just have to wake the others up. WE CAN WIN.
Oblamer is the dirtiest of the dirt…..I can smell his stench through the computer…
It is very clear the Dems do not have anything to brag about. All of the talk that comes from there mouths is trying to brainwash the very young, the very old, the middle class and women, and there only talking points are Romney is going to take away Medicare, send jobs offshore and raise taxes on the poor and middle class. I have to ask if the Republicans are really trying to win or is it just a big show.
Why don’t they tell the world how Obummer and the Dems controlled the House and Congress in the last two years of the Bush administration and stopped everything he tryed to do, then explain how the Dems took the SS money from a money making account and put it in the general fund. The Dems have to have money to spend on there little pet projects and there spending is the reason we are ready to fall over the proverbial cliff.
like this is news….get real, odumas and is kind live in their own made up world all on our hard work and our children's future.
