G.O.P. Wants Koster Cash Back

The Missouri Republican Party is demanding that Sen. Chris Koster return campaign contributions he received before switching political parties last week.

“The hard working people of Cass County have been betrayed by Chris Koster and we are demanding that he return our hard-earned money so that it can used to support real Republicans instead of being used by a charlatan and turncoat like this disgrace of a senator,” said Ronald Johnson, the Cass County Republican Committee chairman who's committee has donated over $4,000 to Koster over the years. “Koster smashed a solemn trust and if he has one shred of decency or moral character left, then he should return every penny he took from us.”

In addition, the G.O.P. wants Koster to resign his Senate seat and run as a Democrat in a special election.

“Republicans who donated money to Chris Koster have the right to expect that their donations be immediately returned while the voters of the 31st Senatorial District have a right to expect him to resign his seat,” said Paul Sloca of the state G.O.P. “While Koster resumes accepting donations from his liberal friends in Big Labor and among his fellow trial attorneys, his once loyal and hard-working Republican supporters are being left out in the cold both financially and politically.”
