It’s the Democrats who are selling out America
Brookes News ^ | 5/21/2007 | J. B. Williams

According to liberal Democrats, their loyal press and their mindless minions across the country, none of whom care about the facts, they were “elected” by Americans in 2006 for the purpose of “saving America” from those corrupt Republicans who have been busy “selling America” to lobbyists and foreign interests. The problem with their story is, according to official Federal Election Commission reports, it isn’t supported by the hard facts. During the study years running from 1990 through 2006, here are the real facts concerning who is selling America for political contributions…

Liberals Say Republicans Are Owned By Lobbyists?

Lawyers/Lobbyists topped the list of political investors in the United States giving a whopping $899,021,331, according to official Federal Election Commission reports. At odds with liberal lies on the subject, 69 percent of the nearly 1 billion dollars went to Democrats, with only 30 percent going to Republicans. Lawyers and lobbyists are clearly in Democrat pockets at a rate of 69 percent of total investment dollars.

Liberals Say That The Press Is Too Conservative?

The Newspaper, Magazine and Book industry invested $71,255,043 during the same period and again, the facts tell us that 67 percent of total investment dollars from this group went to Democrats, while only 31 percent went to Republicans. The newspaper, magazine and book industry make up much of the industry we call “the media”. Clearly, “the media”, at least this portion, invests in Democrats at a rate of 67 percent .

The Democratic party is a coalition of the very rich and a variety of rent-seeking client groups. These groups are the shock troops- they reinforce the elites that steer the party to serve their ends.

This is not to say that the GOP doesn't have its own problems.

Does anyone know what Party the President belongs to? Is he for or against the Immigration Bill?

Yes, the REPUBLICAN President is in bed with the DEMOCRATS.

That is the problem. Both groups are working together, and not for the interests of the nation as a whole.
