Money, WITHOUT a Convincing Message, is just money wasted...

You don't really think Al Gore retracted his concession in 2000 all by himself, do you? Someone else surely came up with the idea and the bucks to pay for The Great American Chad Hunt.
[Fiasco!TM Relive all the excitement of Election 2000 with this lively game! Send your 'men' all over the board counting and recounting 'votes'. See how creative you can be! Will the military votes count? Do felons get to weigh in? How about those Pat Buchanan 'voters'? The 'Democrat' player gets to take the 'Republican' player all the way to The Supreme Court for a barrel of laughs! This game's a rip-roaring load of fun and lasts for years and years!]
Not really you must realized they that liberal elitism is a lust for power and control over other (us the great unwashed)...in the super rich class have not just people with a lust and drive for money but also a lust and drive for power and power over others...
after all if the left real concern was about the poor and downtrodden as they claim... they would just give money out directly to them...not spend on political campaigns to get power....
To see the truth see where "There Money - vs - There Mouth" is....
There mouth may be "for the poor" but there money is "for power"
Well that 'splains all the money for the homosexual causes.

A New Alliance Of Democrats Spreads Funding
But Some in Party Bristle At Secrecy and Liberal Tilt

An alliance of nearly a hundred of the nation's wealthiest donors is roiling Democratic political circles, directing more than $50 million in the past nine months to liberal think tanks and advocacy groups in what organizers say is the first installment of a long-term campaign to compete more aggressively against conservatives.
A year after its founding, Democracy Alliance has followed up on its pledge to become a major power in the liberal movement. It has lavished millions on groups that have been willing to submit to its extensive screening process and its demands for secrecy.
These include the Center for American Progress, a think tank with an unabashed partisan edge, as well as Media Matters for America, which tracks what it sees as conservative bias in the news media. Several alliance donors are negotiating a major investment in Air America, a liberal talk-radio network.
But the large checks and demanding style wielded by Democracy Alliance organizers in recent months have caused unease among Washington's community of Democratic-linked organizations. The alliance has required organizations that receive its endorsement to sign agreements shielding the identity of donors. Public interest groups said the alliance represents a large source of undisclosed and unaccountable political influence.

Money down a "rat"hole.
All those billions that oculd be spent on feeding the poor, curing AIDS, stoping global warming, stem cell research.....oh thats right. We the taxpayers have to be raped of our money to fund thier bnllsh!t projects!
Are you telling me that George Soros will give 90% of his current holdings to the Government if he gets his way???
I have said that Soros would spend a quarter of a billion dollars to help Hillary. This group's money is how she plans to take the White House. Well, that plus mysterious "bad luck" for anyone who stands in her way.
Limousine liberals. "I got mine, so I'm just going to kick away the ladder so no one else can improve their economics".
George Soros actually made a statement along those lines.
Money, WITHOUT a Convincing Message, is just money wasted...
Bad guy bump!
Haven't they been TRYING (unsuccessfully)
for a liberal takeover for a number of years?
Is this a do-over? ;o)
This democracy alliance coincides with MoveOn's latest activism newsletter:
Excerpt:
MoveOn members said our top priority this year should be winning back Congress. So we dreamed up a big plan: "Call For Change," one of the largest volunteer phonebanks in history. Together, we'll call 5 million progressive voters in competitive districts and get them to the polls.
It won't just help win the House. It's about building a movement of engaged voters in red and purple districts across the country.
We've spent months laying the groundwork, and now Call For Change is ready to launch. But we have to commit to hiring organizers and building the tools, so we need to decide now if it's a go. To fund this, we need 10,000 MoveOn members to contribute at least $15 a month until the election.
We think going big is our best shot at changing the direction of our country. But it's up to you. Please sign up as a monthly contributor today. Get a bonus t-shirt before July 31st.
(snip)
It's a very ambitious plan to win big. Through Call for Change, MoveOn members from New York to San Diego will make over 5 million phone calls into 30 highly competitive House districts plus key Senate races.
We'll combine the energy of 3 million MoveOn members with new technology and cutting edge "microtargeting" techniques that have made Republican turnout efforts successful in recent years.
And to get rolling, we'll deploy 100 skilled field organizers around the country to help our volunteer leaders recruit and support other MoveOn members in their area.

Almost every related organizational newsletter spin off is doing a funding campaign for what ever they are planning.
Soros ping
>>>Maybe I'm just provincial, but it seems to me that more than a few Pubbie Sinators have joined Harry Reid and his liberal allies in the "Democracy Alliance" in thwarting the President's efforts.
They are log cabin republicans. Their monies come from 'support the pubbie' spinoffs of MoveOn, Victory Fund, RINO versions to help take over the republican party.
