Who Buys Office Supplies at Bass Pro?: Billy Long Goes Fishing

Congressman Billy Long's campaign finance reports are a mess. Numerous warnings from the Federal Election Commission, the acceptance of over payments that go beyond the federal limits on what one individual can contribute to his campaign, trips to Las Vegas funded by campaign contributions, and this--OFFICE SUPPLIES FROM BASS PRO SHOP'S OUTDOOR WORLD.

Long's campaign reports show he spent  $422.70 at Bass Pro Shops on office supplies.

However, the amount spent at Bass Pro Shops either means Long has Billy Bass on every wall of his office or he is increasing the size of his tackle box using campaign contributions. In case you haven't been paying attention, Long's opponent, Tom Stilson, who by the way still lives with his mom and dad, attacked Congressman Long claiming Billy was having serious financial problems. As well, word around Southwest Missouri is Billy Long's Highland Springs home was facing foreclosure and Long borrowed a hundred of thousands of dollars from his dad to get out of trouble.

Based on this, it is very possible Long is dipping into his campaign funds to pay for his fishing supplies and his trips to Las Vegas based on these curious entries that are listed in the required July 2012 FEC report and reports Long and Stilson's attack that Long is having a personal financial crisis.
