Midknight Review -- new and revised: campaign donations

28 share

Already, this election cycle (2014), the Democrats have out-spent the GOP/Conservatives, 3 to 2; $372 million for the Dems versus 279 million for the opposition, not counting the real-time contributions of the National Media - which totals hundreds of millions to the favor of the Socialist/Democrats.

From Politico:

Sen. Chuck Schumer defended Democrats’ strategy of slamming the billionaire Koch brothers, predicting Monday that the efforts “will work.”

Translation: Our decision to go after the Koch Brothers is solely a political ploy. After all, we sure as heck, cannot run on our record.

Schumer said recent polling shows 48 percent of Americans recognize the name of the businessmen, who have poured millions into conservative political ads and campaigns.

But their contributions put them [only] at 59th on a list of "big money" contributors. The top 6 political donors? Labor and teacher unions represent 6 of the top 10 political donor collective/individuals.

“That’ll mean about 90 percent of them will know it [the Koch name] in October,” Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday. “We also have to have a shield that protects us from these ads. And I think the Koch brother thing will work.”

Again, Democrats are using the Koch Brothers as a "shield" (Schumer's words). Question: A "shield" against what? We all know the answer to that question, "we" meaning "Conservatives AND Progressive Socialists."

The New York Democrat brushed off criticism from conservatives that Democrats are trying to suppress the free speech rights of Charles and David Koch with the repeated attacks, including some from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calling them “un-American.”

Harry Reid has tabled 160 pieces of legislation coming out of the House. He has done so without the specific approval of the Senate and continues to act as if he were the dictator/president, instead of H Obama. So, who is "un-American?"

“The Koch brothers aren’t just sitting there innocently on the side,” Schumer said. “They’re spending $40, $50 million in ads that are not focused on their real agenda, which is just eliminating all regulation on corporations, cutting taxes to virtually nothing. And so that demands a response. So I don’t feel sorry for them.”

Again, the spending habits of the Koch Brothers are far exceeded by the Marxist National Media, alone, or the labor unions, alone, or the national teachers' unions, alone, or the contributions of Gates, Steyer, Soros, Bloomberg, Buffett, all separately and individually "alone," or the combined totals of partisan trial lawyers, alone, or the efforts of AARP, alone.

Schumer and his socialist buds are just upset that the GOP/Conservatives have any money at all, to spend on elections.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Midknight Review -- new and revised

Truth Alert: Democrats out spend the GOP opposition by a 2:1 margin when the national media's contributions are taken into account, yet, they pretend that they are poor, naked and blind as a political force.
