After the DNC coffers were nearly empty, support for the shutdown is bringing a boom in donations. Money is coming in hand over fist.
There is a limit to both.
Source?
Me too.....I find it hard to believe so many entitlement benefited so-called Americans are pouring money hand over fist to the DNC. Further, I find it hard to believe that any UNIONS are maxing out their contributions, either. To the contrary, news about UNIONS’ dissatisfaction with Obamacare bleed all over the media....I just don’t think this is true.
Without proof this is just another lie from the party of lies.
I agree. Let them put their money where there lies are!!
A Congressman was on the radio this morning discussing this. It is the reason that the Dems don’t care how long the shutdown goes.
One must naturally wonder about the sources of all this new-found lucre....who would profit most by bolstering the party of doom and destruction for the American Way?
Apparently it is the Hard Core Wacko Leftists who had stopped giving after they realized it was Bammy who wanted to intervene in Syria. The Bamster lost LOTS of support during that crisis.
When does he blink?
So, on whose word is this revelation? Some Democrat Congressman? Debbie Wasserman Test? FEC required reports? Who?
It was Schweikert from Arizona who was discussing the money. He was on earlier in the week talking about his local office being plastered with signs that said things like ‘do you hate kids with cancer?’ The Left is becoming unhinged. It is easy to believe they are donating to assuage their anger.
While you think it is believable these zealots are donating their a$$es off now because of the troubles, I find it more plausible and appropriate to believe they are just lying. Democrats use other peoples’ money, not their own. So unless one can point me to a documented massive increase in Union contributions, I just flat don’t believe it. Just rambling lies from some Dem Congressman.
Same here. They can’t be seen as losing on all fronts at once. The polling data I’ve heard suggests the shutdown blame is being distributed fairly equally among all of the players. So this “fundraising bonanza” story could be disinformation designed to make GOP line-walkers worry they’re going to have problems in 2014. Psyops. It was probably Sun Tzu originally, but my (Navy) dad used to tell me you always want to make your enemy think the opposite of what is true. When you are strong, you must make him believe you are weak. When you are weak, you must make him think you are strong. This preserves the element of surprise at all times.
He’s a Republican who always votes with the Conservatives. Maybe it is Soros’ money. Meanwhile , I want to know when the ‘Omnibus’ spending bills started. It seems to me that it was likely a Dem invention. You can hide a lot of money in an ‘Omnibus’ Budget/CR, that will benefit Leftist donors.
The little bump Obama got at the outset of this government-shutdown squabble has apparently dissipated. Here are today’s RCP numbers...

The fact that he is a republican makes me even more suspicious.. Maybe he is just clueless or he is trying to work the side of the GOP that wants to be ‘moderate’ and ‘work with Obama’ like McCain who purports himself ‘conservative in the vein of RR’
Not sure I believe it either. Could be smoke and mirrors.
Nope. Bona fide Conservative. Accountant/actuarial. Go to his website. He is a math whiz.
Shut it all down. Shut it down until weeds are growing in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue.
