Dave Spence Pumps $2 Million Into His Campaign, Riverfront Times

*Not an actual image of Dave Spence holding $2 million.*

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Spence pumped a cool $2 million into his campaign yesterday.

That is half a million more than Governor Jay Nixon, a Democrat, raised in the third quarter alone and nearly half as much as Nixon has in his entire war chest ($4.2 million at the end of the third quarter). It's also more money than Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, the once presumed front-runner for the GOP nomination who recently announced he would not jump into the race, had on hand at the end of the third quarter.

Many expected that Spence, owner of Alpha Packaging, would help fund his own campaign. This self-donation is a shot of nitrous oxide to the engine. Just like that he is (at least superficially) competitive.

It'll take a lot of money to beat the popular incumbent, whose approval rating hovered above 60 at last measure (which was in the Spring, basically aeons ago by political time).

Spence also received a couple of big donations on Tuesday. William Koman, CEO and President of a development company called The Koman Group, gave him $100,000. And Daniel Creston, the Chief Operating Officer of Alpha Packaging, gave him $25,000. Courtesy of Riverfront Times

Our addition:

Dave Spence is worth $190-200 million and lives in a $8 million mansion in St. Louis. So it's no surprising that he can donate $2,000,000 to his campaign for Missouri governor's race. He is a tycoon with TARP and DUI scandals so far but wants to buy into the Governor's office so that he can enrich himself and his wealthy friends. Oh! did we tell you that he will devastate the Missouri middle class by taking away the rights of the police and firefighters that protect us, nurses that treat us, teachers that educate our children, you name it. Don't make the mistakes that Wisconsin made with Gov. Walker and Ohio made with Gov. Kasick.

Dave Spence's $8,000,000 lavish Home in St. Louis. Can you afford to elect him next Governor of Missouri? You lost your job, home, health care, retirement etc or squeaking by! Is Spence the man you want in the Governor's mansion during this economic crisis? It's no wonder he donated $2,000,000 to his campaign for the governor's race in 2012. Don't allow Spence and his opulent friends to buy the Governor's office. They will devastate the middle class, the elderly, and the low income Missourians. We will advise voters to suck his money and reject him at the polls. 

DUI is haunting millionaire Dave Spence 8 years after his arrest and suspension of his driver's license! If this tycoon could make such a wrong judgement in 2004, what's he gonna do if we elect him Missouri's next governor? Let's siphon his millions and reject him at the polls. 

Millionaire Dave Spence was arrested DUI in 2004. Was Dave Spence a party animal in the past like his frat brother Peter Kinder? The DUI saga continues! What else isn't he telling Missouri voters? Investigation continues! Stay tuned to this blog!

                                   Our party animal Lt. Govrnor gets really dirty on the stage!

Dave Spence's DUI raises suspicion as to what else the millionaire was doing in the wee hours of the morning besides drinking. Why didn't Spence call his wife to be the designated driver? Why didn't he pay anybody else to be his designated driver? Why didn't he  get a taxi?What was he hiding? Was Dave Spence a party animal like his fraternity brother Kinder? The DUI saga continues! He left his wife and children at home to go on wild parties or orgies! Isn't  Dave Spence supposed to be a family values conservative? Where were his conservative moral values?

Are we not justified to state that he is a Bible-Thumping Conservative Hypocrite? (click the link)

Dave Spence is part of the 1% that's devastating the 99% in America. Besides this is a millionaire who has never held elective office, wants to buy the governor's office, and has promised to go after Missouri workers if elected! Does this remind you of the 99% protest that's going on across the nation?
