Dems Trounce House GOP In Grass-Roots Donations
Breitbart ^ | July 11, 2014 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 07/12/2014 9:31:25 AM PDT by Hostage

The DCCC, the campaign arm for Rep. Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats, has raised $22 million more than the House GOP for the fall elections. That result is surprising enough, as Democrats' minority status gives them little political leverage in the House. More surprising, though, is that Democrats have raised almost three times as much money, $46 million v. $17 million, as Republicans from small-dollar grass roots donors. The political landscape and recent polling would suggest the opposite situation.

That result is surprising enough,...

Why? All the moonbat progs and statist America-haters have lots of representation to support in Washington. There exists is no worthy opposition party to support for the rest of us.

remember when Odumbo kept preaching about donating $5? It’s not recorded if it’s that amount so it’s untraceable.

Looks like the “grassroots” is too dumb to realize that it’s a numbers game. We lose the House, and Pelosi is back in power.

Aside from that, however, the Dem definition of grass-roots is pretty broad - even including unidentified foreign contributions.

only a fool is surprised by this...they’ve called me twice in the past two months and i’ve told them the same thing both times, “i’m not a Republican, i’m a Tea Party conservative- stop calling me”...

maybe now that its hitting them in the pocketbook they’ll get the message...i doubt it though...

Mr. Speaker, looking back, don't you think it would have been a good idea to have stuck with defunding the PPACA?

Never, never, never give to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) or the Republican National Committee (RNC).

All three groups are RINO’s who will use your money to target, malign and defeat conservatives.

They are our enemies.

Donate directly to good candidates.

I give only directly to candidates, no money to the gop, or any in between group, even the TEA parties.

I am a member of the NRA but have let them know that I will give no extra money when they continue to support demonRATs like harry reid.

We have a local TEA party and I throw a twenty into the hat when I attend a local event, but no money to groups that I don't know.

Sounds good to me. Donate to the candidate that you can respect and vote for rather than a party hack. GOPe is going to go away in a few cycles.

We continually hear that a third party would be a disaster. But, it looks like the conservative grassroots may force the issue. The GOP may still be able to shake down big donors and corporations for campaign cash, but the grassroots is where the votes are. The creation of a real conservative third party may be a foregone conclusion as people like me will not lower our standards and contribute to the likes of Boehner, McCain, Graham and the rest of the sell-outs.

In the next presidential election, I will not vote for JEB!, Willard or any other one-world phony, even if they name Jesus Christ as their running mate. I'll write-in Ted Cruz, Ben Carson or Ted Nugent.

Simple solution to this. GOPe should beg Thad C's voter base for money to defeat the Tea Party. Problem solved.

Let’s see who controls the House next January.

Fact is, CONSERVATIVES donate to conservative candidates.

I quit giving to the national party a long time ago, but increased giving to INDIVIDUAL candidates....

No surprise here. The grassroots Republicans are tired of funding Establishment RINOs. Let their corporatist buddy pals do it.

The GOP might get the hint that they need us to win and to give them money. I for one have quit my donations and now give directly to the candidate I want. No more.

No true Republican in his/her right mind would give John Boehner so much as a plug nickle.

Who cares if the republicans take the house if they act just like democrats. This is not baseball, where we root for our team, do or die. If the republican party no longer represents its base, if it is nothing more but the second string for the other side, then why bother? With the republicans we have in power now, we have no representation at all. They will cave to obama as usual, and do nothing. You watch, they will give obama his 3 billion to do with as he pleases.

“donations” direct from the US Treasury into Dem. coffers.

Conservatives don’t want to give to the RNC and other groups

Maybe the GOP could take up a collection from Barry’s “Kids” living in their new $6054 dollar per month digs.

I think you stumbled upon the real reason for that ludicrous figure. It's a money laundering racket for the Dems. (As is everything else they "fund.")

Without the Republicans we have in power now, bad as they may be - and I agree, most of them are bad - we wouldn’t have any ability to oppose Obama legislatively or any ability to oppose his appointments. If we lose the majority in the House, it doesn’t matter how pure and conservative the remaining members are, because they’re powerless.

Same in the Senate. I hoped the GOP would get a majority, but I doubt that it’s going to happen now.
