george allen refuses to endorse full disclosure of super pac campaign funding 14MAR12

george allen claims he has always been and advocate of campaign finance disclosure, but he has refused Tim Kaine's request request for full disclosure of his campaign and super pac financing......typical of allen's campaign of deception of the Virginia electorate.....

In the last five months, special interest groups that aren't required to disclose their donors have spent more than $1.5 million on George Allen's behalf. And on Monday, George's friends gave him his very own Super PAC.
During the debate in December, George Allen said that when it comes to campaign finance, "I've always been an advocate of disclosure and freedom. I like Virginia's approach. Virginia laws that are based on disclosure and freedom." Tim agrees with George -- disclosure is a good thing for Virginia's voters.
That's why Tim reached out to George yesterday about taking a pledge to keep secret money out of this campaign.

December's debate wasn't the first time that George said he supported disclosure. In fact, in a debate in 2000 during his first Senate bid, George said, "Here's what we need; we need disclosure so we know who is contributing to these campaigns, and I think that the people of Virginia ought to know who are making those contributions."
But now that the debates are over, the cameras are off, and he has Super PACs lined up behind him, George is singing a very different tune.
It's part of a pattern -- his rhetoric just doesn't match his record. He talks about cutting spending, but turned a record surplus into a record deficit during his term in the Senate. He talks about freezing pay raises for Congress, but voted repeatedly to raise his own pay when he was in Washington.
Check out our short video that shows how George ran away from his support for full disclosure in a few months.
Governor Kaine said in the December debate that he supports full disclosure. And he supports it today. That's the difference -- while George is a politician who says one thing and does another, Tim Kaine is a leader who delivers on his promises, cameras on or off -- and you can tell by his record.
