Big Money To Demos: “Gun Control Or We Cut You Off!”
Extrano's Alley, a gun blog ^ | 28 March, 2013 | Stranger

Posted on 03/29/2013 7:21:22 AM PDT by marktwain


With the usual note that the source is not reliable, the Washington Post reports big money Democratic donors such as Buzzfeed’s Kenneth Lerer have given the Democrats an ultimatum.. Pass gun controls or you get no more money from us

On the other hand, if the Dimmos do pass gun control they will almost certainly suffer the consequences in both Congress and at the State level. Which puts Andy Jackson’s Jackass Partei on the horns of the dilemma. Briefly quoting the item linked above:

Lerer also said he would be intensifying his contributions to Democratic Senate candidates in the next few years — excluding any that don’t take a strong position on gun control. “We intend to get very active in Senatorial campaigns during the next cycle and the one after,” he said. Red state Dems up for reelection in 2014 include Mary Landrieu, Kay Hagan, Mark Begich, Mark Pryor, and Max Baucus.

All of which merely confirms what observers have known since at least 1982. The Democratic Partei belongs to the big donors, lock, stock, and barrel. And the poor? Well, I see the Democrats have stopped paying for diagnostic tests for Medicare recipients. I also see that the going rate of return for “donations” to the Obama campaign are running around fifty million in taxpayers money for a five hundred thousand donation. Which makes donating to Dimmos the soundest investment around.

And all of this means we must emulate the old time loggers. Spit on our hands and start chopping. Chopping down Democrats. Because the United States is not that far behind Mexico when it comes to corruption.

Those who say the Democrats are in a lose/lose situation mean this: Lose votes, because "gun control" is not popular in spite all the push polls; or lose money from the big donors that run the Democrat machine.

$500K donation nets the donor $50M in federally funded recompense, through contracts, friendly laws, etc. The excerpt cites no facts to back that up, but the numbers are certainly provocative.

It appears as though some DemocRAT public servants are going to have to “evolve” if they want the big bucks to keep rolling in. We’ve got the best government that money can buy.

It means Democrat campaign donations are a money-laundering operation.

Give a half-million dollar donation, get a fifty-million dollar feral government "investment" in your company.

BS..... Democrats need not be coerced into supporting “gun control” legislation.” This is a fig leaf for those in purple/red districts/states......

My question—why do these rich donors care so much about gun control? How do they make money that way? I don’t buy that their hearts are breaking over Newtown.

The people had better start demanding that articles of impeachment be created for any elected official that supports gun control.

Looks like the money for the Sandy Hook School Slaughter is being siphoned off for other liberals causes... like gun control?

and to use a gun related phrase in the article about anti-gun donors...tsk, tsk — the phrase: lock, stock, and barrel. The firing lock (on old flintlock guns, now replaced with the hammer and firing pin, the stock of the gun, and the gun’s barrel.

Colorado is already on a path to evict the Dem’s in 2014.

Oh, and did I mention massive non-compliance in the mean time?

Like the family won’t continue to fire each other’s weapons?!?!?!

You're right on this - liberal elites don't give a damn about what happens to the children of the middle class or what happens to any child.

Maybe they're connected to organized crime. If guns are outlaws large crime families will take over a billion dollar industry. In most two bit 3rd world hellholes the criminal class holds up the elites... for a price.
