Par for politics

Uptown won't get all the action when the Dems come to town. Take the 2012 DNC Golf Classic, set for Sept. 4 at the Charlotte Country Club. Four members of Congress signed up for the $1,250-per-golfer fundraiser.
Reps.  John Yarmuth(Ky.),  Cederic Richmond (La.),  Joe Courtney (Conn.) and  Gene Green (Texas) will be out to benefit The First Tee of Washington, D.C., which introduces golf to youngsters.

$1250.00 for a round of golf? Sounds decidedly Republican to me.

Assume this article is incomplete.
FOUR members of Congress signed up
(@ $1250. per).
Are there others who are paying $1250. to play?
Has CCC closed the course for day for these 4?

The First Tee is a good idea ...... but are Charlotteans expected to pay $1250. each for a round of golf?
Perhaps a direct donation to The First Tee is more appropriate.

I hope no one is so naive to believe these Democrats are actually paying to play golf.

8:54, are you really that stupid? It simply can't be possible anyone would believe any of that--or that anyone could be so hate-filled as to spew it.
