Dems take in twice as much “foreign” money as Republicans

Over the weekend, some Democrats began questioning the White House strategy of demonizing third-party groups for potentially using foreign-raised money in political messaging. Now we know why. Apparently, the shrieking over foreign influence was yet another case of projection:

---

“Democratic leaders in the House and Senate criticizing GOP groups for allegedly funneling foreign money into campaign ads have seen their party raise more than $1 million from political action committees affiliated with foreign companies.

House and Senate Democrats have received approximately $1.02 million this cycle from such PACs, according to an analysis compiled for The Hill by the Center for Responsive Politics. House and Senate GOP leaders have taken almost $510,000 from PACs on the same list.”

---

This isn’t illegal. The money comes from American employees of the foreign corporations. But the companies control the PACs, and their contributions to political parties and campaigns “is about as close as you can get” to foreign-based money flowing into campaigns, as the Center for Responsive Politics notes.

I've been giving $20 amounts to many candidates rather than hundreds to a single one.

If I could afford to give hundreds to each one I would, but many like me, give what we can.

I’m one of those ‘new’ small donors.

Sorry, but being from Kentucky I’m OBVIOUSLY a foreigner to democrats and most ruling class republicans.

As of the second quarter, small donors filled about one-third of the campaign chests

I think the numbers now would be much larger now, especially for Angle, O'Donnell, Miller and a few others.
