Democrats continue to sneer about political contributions coming from the right. But if you haven’t yet voted you should know which group is providing the biggest cash infusion in this election cycle. The Washington Times reports:
Who is the largest single political contributor in the 2010 campaign cycle? You can be pardoned if you answer, erroneously, that it’s some new conservative group organized by Karl Rove. That’s campaign spin by the Obama Democrats, obediently relayed by certain elements of the so-called mainstream media. The real answer is AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The union’s president, Gerald McEntee, reports proudly that AFSCME will be contributing $87.5 million in this cycle, entirely or almost entirely to Democrats. (emphasis mine)
Hmmm…very interesting!
1. These are the same people with public sector pensions that have been grossly underfunded. The plan is to have you, the taxpayer, pick up the tab for these underfunded pension plans.
2. These are the folks that make twice as much income in pay and benefits than the average private sector worker.
3. These are people that remain employed thanks to Obama’s jobs created and saved giant stimulus package…the one that has our children facing enormous future debt and has resulted in high sustained unemployment (10% – 17%) for the private sector.
Public sector union workers can afford to spend $87.5 million dollars on an election but can’t, or won’t, fund their own pension plans. They are spending this money to elect Democrat candidates who will continue to GIVE YOU THE SHAFT!
Private sector jobs in California will not return if we continue to elect BIG GOVERNMENT DEMOCRATS that have repeatedly shown they have zero regard for private sector work and taxpayers in both the public and private sectors.

Then resolve to vote for the conservative candidate that can win and will restore common sense to government!
There are NO conservative candidates running in ANY of the 435 Congressional races this year.
None.
The political world according to Q.
Well…please tell us five things that would accurately describe a conservative…please.
How many people are in the AFSCME?
I wouldn’t want to get it wrong, Tina.
This is a conservative blog. I’m sure you could tell us what those five conservative pillars ought to be.
Why don’t you?
Tell us what it takes to be a conservative.
THEN find ANYone running for a Congressional or Senate seat that fits your own definition.
Q: “I wouldn’t want to get it wrong, Tina.”
Lame dodge. You brought it up, why?
“Tell us what it takes to be a conservative. ** THEN find ANYone running for a Congressional or Senate seat that fits your own definition.”
Ahhh yes. Quentins private insistence that perfection be met or the candidate or representative should be forever damned. You’re not discerning, Quentin, you are impossible to satisfy. This is a perfectionist game that even you can’t win. No wonder you have that big chip on your shoulder!
Sorry…I won’t participate in this silly game. I was honestly curious about what you consider to be conservative ideals…too bad you can’t or won’t be honest.
You have unreasonable expectations, Quentin, and lack respect for the checks and balances built in to our political system. You foolishly believe that our representatives somehow have the power to act as kings…to be able to deem into existence policies that match ideals perfectly.
I bet you spend a lot of time being terribly disappointed.
AFSCME is a parent organization for hundreds of locals representing the interests of over 1.6 million people, not the board of directors at AFSCME. Or Monsanto.
The accusation is a little disingenuous insofar as much of the GOP’s financial support has been in the form of soft money, which isn’t required to be reported by the campaigns.
Ask the GOP why every one of its senators voted against a Senate bill in September requiring that all campaign donors be declared, including those providing soft money.
Fact is, we may never know who the largest contributors were to the 2010 campaigns because of the wide propagation of 501(c)4 groups which aren’t required to release donor lists. Since that SCOTUS decision in early 2010, oil companies, health insurers, et al are free to contribute as much money as they like to soft money PACs, and in complete secrecy.
Chopper I’m for immediate and full disclosure of all contributions no matter how large or small!
I don’t like secrets any better than you do!
I notice you didn’t address any of my concerns:
Who needs a lot of big corporation cash when you can easily buy the full cooperation of the United States government! Democrats and unions are in bed with each other…they play the game with some big Corps too. Look the GM bailout! Look at the big banks that gave to the Obama campaign last election and made out like bandits when “recovery” money was spread around.
My point is to demonstrate how disingenuous the Democrats are when they complain of Republicans being funded by “special interest money”. Hell, is there any other kind?
Tina?
This is the bigget pile you’ve responded with since I’ve known you!
“Nice dodge.”
Funny!
You cannot even begin to describe what you profess to believe in!
Perfection is nice, but no one is asking for that.
I’m simply asking for a little les hypocrisy–and a little more intelligence on your part.
Is that too much to ask?
I realize perfection is impossible, but apparently common sense, not being a hypocrite, or honesty aren’t among your needs for a candidate, either. You’re too GD lazy–or scared–to do the research required because of what you will find: your emperor is naked!
There are no conservatives in DC by your own definition–or anyone’s! Your boy, Wally Herger isn’t a conservative, but I’ll bet you voted for him anyway. You’re a fool, Tina. AND the reason America is in the shape it’s in.
Thanks for NOTHING!
If it makes you feel better to insult me because you don’t have the maturity to face that awful truth, then you go right ahead, sweetheart.
