I don’t think this includes Bill Gates giving the Chamber of Horrors and Commies, 50 million bucks.

The Dems are funding the GOPe these days, they know they can be bought off like the 25 cent Ho’s they are.

You forget inflation. Mitch McConnell is getting at least $2 for each time he gives Harry Reid a BJ.

Rove’s Super Pacs are down 98%
Conservative Pacs are up.
Looks like a trend.

It’s really difficult to talk about these people without getting scatological, isn’t it?

One could almost expect to see dung beetles crawling out from under their trousers.

I have tried to do my part by funding the Tea Party effort as well as sending cash to RINO John Cornyn primary opponent

Do you give to Tea Party Patriots or some other group, or just directly to the candidates?

Dems fund the Libertarian candidates, also. Murdock (put a sock in his mouth) was challenged by Libertarian candidate Horning (http://www.horningforcongress.com/ )and lost by the votes Horning picked up.

It’s a winning strategy for Dems and I expect to see it widely used in the 2014 Senate races. Got McAwful elected in the Virginia gov race.

The “Clintonian plurality” win...cringe...

Yet they somehow think a push for amnesty will increase fundraising? I swear these Republicrats are delusional. All my donations continue to go to “the rebels” and individuals I hear about from Mark Levin and Glenn Beck. Reps haven’t gotten a dime from me in 6 years.
