SEIU's Shady Political Cash
Publius Forum ^ | 11/12/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/12/2010 7:57:09 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

Marc Theissen recently asked some very important questions about where the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is getting the mountains of cash that it spends on Democrat political campaigns. He finds that it is coming from foreign sources, but the SEIU is refusing to yield to requests for transparency.

If the SEIU is getting the millions of dollars it is spending on Democrats from foreign sources, this should put a major dent in the alarmist claims that Obama has been making about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce supposedly getting its money from outside the country -- a charge that was resoundingly refuted. After all, if one of Obama's biggest left-wing campaign supporters is suffused with foreign cash, why should it be such a big deal if anyone else is?

Sadly, the Old Media will never play up this aspect of Obama's hypocrisy, but that is another subject...

This makes the lie to another faux complaint from the left. All the claims that the chamber of commerce was eeeevil because it got money from foreign sources… turns out the EIU (the left's favorite finances) is swimming in foreign cash.

Another piece of the puzzle. Beck had video of Soros and the Europeans complaining that they had no say in US elections. Well I guess we know now how they are influencing our elections. Since the dems love regulating everything so much, we need to regulate hedge funds (Soros) and unions. No more manipulation and no more money from Europe deciding elections over here.

With these changes in place, I wonder how long it would take the democratic party to shrivel up and die.

Why the excerpt? Your blog is not on FR's 'excerpt only' list....
You should be more careful, or it will look like you are pimping your blog for hits.... :)

If you believe these words which you quote on your blog after each essay, then why do you deprive the readers of this forum of your full content?

Excellent point!

You may have made some too.

Too bad we can't read them, since they were excerpted.
