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!
