The Magic Of Political Contributions

By Semperpapa

During his last State of the Union address, President Obama was open in expressing his disapproval for the Supreme Court decision regarding political contributions of corporations. Regardless that the decision was a re-affirmation of the First Amendment right that corporations have in their contributions to political candidates, Mr. Obama still was bold, and lacked the Presidential class, to chastise the SCOTUS decision during his speech.

Three weeks away from the mid-term elections of 2010, which by all accounts are shaping up to become a literal historical event as related to the defeat that the Democrat Party is facing, that the White House and the desperate Liberals in Congress are scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of anything negative to fire at the Republicans.
Liberals recognize that running their election and especially re-election bids on the “accomplishments” of the liberal Congress for four years, and the radical White House for two, have achieved, would be total political suicide, so they are resorting to confusing the voters with allegations of impropriety in campaign financing.

The White House has attacked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and political action organizations that have been able to raise funds for Republican campaigns, by spreading lies about the provenience of these contributions. Obama, in some of his latest campaign stops, has alleged that a lot of those contributions are coming from foreign donors.
A statement from Obama of the sort is aimed at distracting the American people, in the desperate attempt to recapture some of the campaign luster Obama had enjoyed in 2008 by avoiding even the mention of the multitude of unpopular policies that Obama has forced on the people.

The only problem that has been brought up by the Republican and Conservative side is that there are absolutely no evidences of any money coming from foreign sources.

The allegations are so ludicrous that even the liberal media is refraining from taking them seriously and in fact an article that appeared during the 2008 Presidential campaign on the liberal Washington Post has resurfaced, pointing out that the Obama campaign was taking in unprecedented amounts of contributions via sources that were untraceable and unaccounted for.
On source of contributions that was accounted for came from Jodie Evans and Code Pink, who also delivered $600,000 in donations to the terrorist group Hamas for its fight against America.
Such is the company Obama keeps!

So, the hypocrisy of liberal progressives is not news, you say. And I agree, except that the White House has not just limited its attack at the public relation level, but has also stepped into the persecution realm by having Sen. Max Baucus, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, request that the IRS would take a in depth look at certain organizations that appear to be receiving quite a record level of donations. Of course the targeted organizations are Republican candidates’ contributors.

So that is the strategy of Obama and the Democrats to attempt to curb the victory the Republicans and Conservatives appear to be headed for.
Web sites with catchy names like ThinkProgress have been continuously tasked by the White House and the DNC as the attack dogs of an administration that is dedicated to the subversion of the American electorate.
Even if the ever-complacent Media is trying to go to bat for Liberals, they are not able to successfully utilize any of the so-called ‘October surprises’ the administration and other Democrats are trying to spring.
In California, for example, even the histrionics of the always entertaining Gloria Allred, with the illegal alien that Meg Whitman had employed, did not have the desired outcome. Sure it captured the attention of the Nation for few days as the Los Angeles lawyer exploited the situation in her attempt to boost Gerry Brown’s bid for the gubernatorial race.
But even in an ultra-leftist state like California, the stunt did not achieve the hoped upwelling for Brown. Moonbeam Gerry still has few points advantage over Whitman, but did not ‘surge’ as Liberals had hoped, as the recession weary Californians are not, these days, too receptive of political gaming, but more interested in the sort of economic recover the state needs.

Just my thoughts!
