House Democrats' committee sitting on $40M fund

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donors gave more than $10 million in March to the committee tasked with electing House Democrats and helped it amass a $40 million fund to fight skepticism that Republicans can be ousted from their majority in November. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $10.3 million in March, putting it atop the fundraising contest among party-directed campaign committees. That sum also outpaced most three-month fundraising tallies released thus far from super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations. Donations to House Democrats' campaign committee are capped at $32,400.

"The DCCC has sustained a blistering fundraising pace this election cycle because Americans are sick and tired of a Republican Congress that shut down our government and that is stacking the deck for the wealthiest while the middle class pays the price," said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who chairs the Democrats' House campaign arm.

"Americans are hungry for a Congress that will buckle down and focus on creating jobs and strengthening the economy — and that's why they're supporting the DCCC at record levels," he said in a statement.

A fund to fight skepticism...

Yep. That sounds like a Democrat project to me!

A fool and his money are soon parted.....

40 million……they probably have 50 reps who are hated that they will have to try and defend with that.

[pepsionice]

Forty million really isn’t that much. If you imagine that most will go to guys in Republican-owed districts and try to get ten more guys elected....that means four million to each. I’m not sure that TV ad’s would be enough to do it anymore.

[House Atreides]

Let’s see...The Democrat establishment committees (which raise money and spend it on attacking and defeating Republicans) have out raised Republican establishment committees (which raise money and spend it on attacking and defeating conservative Tea Party Republicans) by a 3 to 1 margin. Now I wonder why it is that conservative Republicans are slowing (and stopping in many of our cases) their donations to Republican political committees? Perhaps Karl Rove and the GOPe leadership could solve that mystery for us. If they had even the slightest clue. Or if they would stop their warfare against the Tea Party for just a few moments to even think about it.

please liberal- whine some more how the Koch Bros are trying to buy America....

Aha---so that's where some of the billions went---the billions Obama/Harry Reid "mistakenly" put into an appropriation bill to buy votes for Obamacare.

==================================================

THE DETAILS: In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass Obamacare. He needed every Dimocrat on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage.

In Sen Mary Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars.

Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---not $200 million---but $4.3 billion for Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill.

===================================

Where'd the money go? Now we know.

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid connived to get it in there, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.

The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.....and how federal monies were laundered into the campaign coffers of Dummycrats.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Yep, that was the point I was making….their big donors, and single donors can give huge amounts to parties….are scared to death and writing huge panic checks.

But the reality of Obama Care, the bundy ranch, the IRS, Lois the wicked witch Lerner, etc, is much bigger than their checkbooks.

Dems Have 3-To-1 Outside Money Advantage Over GOP Going Into Midterm Elections…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-pocketed donors are turning over multimillion-dollar checks to influence November’s elections, and the sums raised by the national parties and their super PAC allies are already approaching the $1 billion mark, according to financial reports still being filed Tuesday evening.

Big Dem donors….are scared to death and(supposedly) writing huge panic checks. But the reality of Obama Care, the Bundy ranch, the IRS, Lois the wicked witch Lerner, etc, is much bigger than their checkbooks.

Nails it.....plus that bold list gets bigger by the minute.

The growth of the BOLD list is huuuuge in my opinion…even the RNC joined it this week, suing the IRS. Imagaine….(okay, they will disappoint down the road for sure, but take wins where you can get them).

[SunkenCiv]

A bunch of rich limo lib jackasses write millions of dollars of checks to the party of the single party state, which has had five years of control of the White House, including two (preceded by more years) in control of both houses of Congress, and rammed their job-killing, education-cratering, defense-dismantling, racist, anti-American agenda down all of our throats, and what does the demagogue say?

"Americans are hungry for a Congress that will buckle down and focus on creating jobs and strengthening the economy -- and that's why they're supporting the DCCC at record levels," he said in a statement.

Thanks TurboZamboni. Have a great day, all.

[Liz]

Let's take wins where we can get them------even though the RINOS will disappoint us.

Yup---we need to pull together now like never before---we're so close to majorities.

A plus is all types of Republicans will caucus together. We should be able to get 1-2 votes out of the most reclacitrant RINO.

Understanding the horse-trading that goes on up there, even a RINO will be willing to trade his aye vote on a social issue for something he/she really wants.

[SoFloFreeper]

These dollars will be used to fund massive voter fraud in appropriate districts across America.

All part of the Chicago Thug machine.
