Pay us $2,000,000 and we'll endorse yu, else we'll endorse your competition

The American Conservative Union asked FedEx for a check for $2 million to $3 million in return for the group’s endorsement in a bitter legislative dispute, then flipped and sided with UPS after FedEx refused to pay.

Soooooo, conservative principles are for sale to the highest bidder it would seem. In which case, one has to wonder precisely how they define "principles".

Nothing behind a major political organization either supporting or opposing a piece of legislation with equal vigor; based solely on which side pays it the requested amount?
