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.

Of all the races (~465) this November, we’re hearing very little polling... if the Rats’ internals showed them picking up seats, they’d be bullhorning from the mountaintops to depress the R turnout.

They’re not, they’re desperately begging for money to conduct
the voter fraud necessary.

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

I receive donation requests on occasion from Boehner. I write on them: "Tell Boehner to dry his eyes, get a spine implant, and grow a pair." Then I send it back in their post-paid envelope.

Politico reports that even members of Congress aren’t paying their dues and that Boehner is upset by this.

(apparently dues for a Congresscritter starts at $32,500)

The GOP-e wants to “crush” the TEA Party, well then how the hell do they expect us to donate to them. They declared war on us.

Also, when has the GOP delivered anything to its base?

The promise of those HOR candidates was that with enough conservatives, they'd do their job and not fund Obama's destruction of the US. They have yet to keep the promise, even once.

And they're still at it. Why haven't they passed funding to send the hordes of central americans home, but no other funding for this crisis? Could it be their Chamber of Commerce sponsors want the cheap labor?

Here's a thought GOP-e, how about getting the dems to donate to you with Robo Calls a la Mississippi!

“.......it doesn’t matter how pure and conservative the remaining members are, because they’re powerless.”

They are powerless now.

Conservatives are powerless either way.

Conservatives are only powerless if they keep chanting to themselves that they are powerless. Write to your reps, go to your local newspapers and scream and howl, and you’ll get results - that is, if you have GOP representation. You may not get everything, but you’ll get something and also you’ll be preparing the way for the next candidate, who may have more support and be more successful.

Sometimes conservatives don’t get elected because of GOP-e cheating (Mississippi) but most of the time they don’t get elected simply because they don’t have enough votes. Get more.

But remember that you’re totally powerless only if you have a Dem in office.

For Pete’s sake, why be so passive and negative? Does the Dem Party pay people to flood this site with hopelessness and negativity?

The facts speak for themselves. No money is coming into the GOP-e coffers and the GOP-e has declared war on its base.

The Dem’s are giving their base what they want, while the GOP is giving their base the finger and the base knows it. It’s not rocket science.
