With five Senate contests on 'knife's edge,' GOP donors give more

With less than two months...Ohio Sen. Rob Portman was out in California last week hustling for dollars and briefing Republican donors about what he said was the party’s critical need for resources to compete in the tossup states that could determine control of the U.S. Senate.

“There are probably five states on the knife’s edge,” Portman, the vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a potential 2016 presidential contender, said in an interview during his California visit.

[SoFloFreeper]

Portman is the vice-chair of the NRSC? No wonder things are so lackluster.

Portman once had potential. Then he endorsed sodomy.

Pathetic.

Interesting how these GOP-e types feign interest in actually winning the majority in the Senate. I don’t believe they want the responsibility that comes with being in majority status.

The conventional political wisdom is that Obama scrapped his plans to E/O amnesty b/c nervous Democrats figured such a move would incur voter wrath.......on top of the simmering anger over the diseased border swarm installed in their schools, and on their welfare rolls.

But Obama figured he'd play "good cop-bad cop" w/ stupid latinos. Assurances to latinos that the E/O would happen AFTER midterms were delivered this past Thursday in a meeting w/ WH COS Denis McDonough, latina Obama- appointee domestic policy adviser, Cecilia Munoz (an ex-La Raza lobbyist), and Cong Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill) the Third World's mouthpiece on the issue.

Cong Gutierrez was not mollified by Obama's "assurances." Gutierrez was incensed----he aimed his anger at Democrats--- threatening to throw Democrat candidates under the bus if he did not get his way.

Gutierrez lashed out: “No more excuses, I don’t care what senator is dangling in the wind, I don’t care what happens. We are moving forward.”

UT, OH---Gutierrez slyly intimated he will meet w/ the super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus "to determine a formal response." That means Gutierrez and The Congressional Hispanic Caucus will use tax dollars to conduct a political coup against Democrats.

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

Mmmmm....vengeful latino threats, and Machiavellian political plotting against Democrats?
So are Democrats going to allow Gutierrez to threaten their re/elections?

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

Democrats need to get cooking and demand to know the details
about an individual threatening their candidacies. For instance:

<><><>the number of identities Gutierrez is using now, or has ever used driving a cab in Illinois;

<><><> the number of US govt check Gutierrez, his family, and his staff are cashing;

<><><> whether Gutierrez has ever been labled a ntl security threat;

<><><> the list of his memberships in violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt;

<><> How many stolen Social Security numbers are his family, staff and political entourage using?

<><><> How many identities are the Guiterrez family and campaign entourage using?

<><><> Are his family, supporters, and political entourage paid agents of foreign governments?

<><><> did Gutierrez use various means of votino fraud to get into office?

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

WHO IS GIVING GUTIERREZ HIS MARCHING ORDERS? Democrats need to get the FBI to subpoena Gutierrez's phone records, emails and snail mail, wire transfers, etc .....

<><> Examine his campaign contributors, foreign travel;

<><> did Gutierrez employ foreign agents as staff w/ US tax dollars?

<><> did Gutierrez ever file falsified documents w/ the federal government?

<><> did he ever make false statements on tax returns?

<><> did he ever apply for EITC refunds listing children "back Home" that are not related to him?

<><> does he earn outside income as a paid political consultant to foreign governments?

<><> did Gutierrez fail to register as an agent of a foreign government;

<><> Are Gutierrez and The Congressional Hispanic Caucus using tax dollars to conduct a coup against Democrats.

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

DEMOCRATS SHOULD CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> DEMOCRATS should demand Gutierrez, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated.

Democrats should supboena Gutierrez' official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

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

Democrats should demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

Democrats should demand to know if Gutierrez, The Congressional Hispanic caucus, La Raza, and other latino pressure groups, are colluding to dump Democrats, and whether they are being financed w/ tax dollars ........and whether they are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the Democrat party.

I guess I missed the LA Times articles that point out how much money is pouring in for democrats—like in GA.

[FreedomPoster]

Michelle Obama was in Atlanta last week. She did a fundraiser for Nunn at the Ritz-Carlton Residences. So much for the Dems being the party of the working man.

Of course, this wasn’t loudly reported and commented upon by the media establishment, who concentrated on her school visit and such.

[freeangel]

Mooch talked about “voter supression” when she was here to her black audience. It really makes me angry that voter fraud is not also referred to voter supression. My vote should not be cancelled out by the black /democratic organizations who see fraud as the way to beat the system since holder wouldn’t dare prosecute them.

[COBOL2Java]

Of course not. They just like the bennies. God forbid they actually work on behalf of those smelly constituents.

[madprof98]

Then he endorsed sodomy.

Isn't that mandatory for GOP leadership these days?

[Theodore R.]

People in OH never get anything right, do they? But they have one good representative, a Mr. Jordan.

[Jim Noble]

“. I don’t believe they want the responsibility that comes with being in majority status.”

Of course they do. How else are they going to get amnesty done?

[jjotto]

Arkansas, North Carolina, Louisiana, Iowa and Colorado, just so everyone knows.

[SampleMan]

Every time the GOP calls me for money now, I tell them that they lost my support when they spent my donated money to defeat conservatives in the primaries, and that they can now get their money from the country clubbers that they supported.

The Senate majority may not be determined on the night of November 4.

Remember Louisiana's unique "open primary," with incumbent Senator Landrieu (D) plus four other Democratic candidates, three Republican candidates, and a Libertarian candidate on the ballot. If nobody receives a majority (as seems highly likely), there will be a runoff on December 6. The consensus of polling indicates that Ms. Landrieu and Republican Bill Cassidy are the two strongest candidates.

Now, ponder for a moment the possibility that on the morning of November 5, there are 50 Republican Senators and Senators-elect, 49 Democratic Senators and Senators-elect, and Louisiana yet to be determined. The Republicans need 51 seats to form a majority; 50 would suffice for Democrats, given Vice President Biden's tie-breaking vote. We could have a month-long battle in Louisiana with the Senate majority -- and every Senate leadership position, and the majority party and chairmanship for each Senate Committee, at stake.

Laissez le bon temps rouler!
