Democratic Party Organ VoteVets.org Attacks Republicans in Ad Tying Clean Energy to Terrorism

Democratic Party organ VoteVets.org is attacking Mitch McConnell and other top Republicans in a series of dishonest ads tying terrorism with clean energy. This 501(c)(4) tax exempt group is supposed to be nonpartisan, but they appear to be an organ of the left wing of the Democratic Party. A quick trip to their front page shows they are endorsing three democrats for Congress and running hit ads against top Republicans. Due to the fact 501(c)(4) groups can take unlimited anonymous donations, it is unclear who is funding this group, but they seem to have a lot of money to throw around. In case you don't know, what they mean by Clean Energy Bill is Cap-and-Trade legislation. Calling Cap-and-Trade legislation bipartisan is just the beginning of their dishonesty. Trying to tie opposition to Cap-and-Trade to being soft on terrorism is ridiculous. Why the FEC allows this is beyond me.

Here is a sample of their dishonesty.

Wonder how much Saudi Arabian oil money is being sent by third party cutouts to fund these sort of “green” organizations? The only thing people like “Vote vets” accomplish is to make sure the USA never ever achieves energy independence.
