What are the differences in INDIVIDUAL donors?

If all the democrat money comes from George Sorros affiliations and the like, it is a suspect story.

Um...didn't Dean have to give out loans last year?

DNC Takes Out Loan For DSCC

The DSCC's optimism about winning the Senate is apparently contagious as the DNC is going to pony up an extra $5-10M for the Senate committee, according to sources familiar with the previously reported arrangement between the two campaign orgs.

While the DNC doesn't have $10M to just toss around to another campaign committee, the DNC apparently has decided to go into debt to come up with the extra cash DSCC Chair Chuck Schumer has been pleading for from DNC Chair Howard Dean. The actual amount of the loan the DNC is taking out is not known as the committee holds out hope they can raise nearly everything they need before the election. But a line of credit has been opened.

maybe the rnc will finally get the message that supporting the specters, chaffees, snows, mccains etc is a sure ticket to the poor house. the telephone operators are fired but the fat cats are still making their six and seven figure salaries.

If the Dems raise more money, this is a strong mark in their favor. People like them. They are in ascendancy. The future belongs to them.

Ain't it the truth. But it has a lot to do with this statement:

“I'll see you in the rose garden for the signing.”

DING DING DING! Give that man a cigar!

Arlen Specter, Trent Lott, John McCain - are the top three reasons why I quit giving to the Republican party, of which I had been a proud member for 30 years. Until these brain-dead dinosaurs are gone from our midst, and the “Pygmy’s and trained seals” that comprise the rest of the GOP field disappear into the night, they will get not ONE THIN DIME from me.

Thanks - rant over...

And that’s what you run on. Democrats are for amnesty for illegals. Remind the public that as weak as it may have seemed, there were strong, principled Republicans who stood in the doorway and stopped the illegal immigration shamnesty bill.

Remind the voters about Democratic pork attached to military pay raise bills, forcing vetos that they tried to spin to their advantage.

I take some heart that in polls where the sole question is “can you see yourself ever voting for Hillary Clinton for President” that majority is still saying “NO!” The only thing worse than Hildebeest as President is B. Hussein Obama.

I fear for the good people of Iraq if a Dumocrat is elected.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

What organization is out there that will tell you which candidates far distant from your home deserve support, and provides an address to which to send a check? There is none.

Incorrect - for fiscal conservatives, it is called the Club for Growth. They only support GOP candidates who support pro-growth policies and tax cuts. RINOs need not apply - in fact, CFG has taken the lead in supporting conservative primary challengers against RINO incumbents, something all FReepers should actively support.

I know by giving money to CFG, it will not be squandered on the Linc Chafees and Arlen Specters of the world.

The RNC can go pound sand, as far as I am concerned.

[counterpunch]

All this means is Republicans are better with money, and wait for the right time and product to invest in wisely. Democrats on the other hand love to spend, but get very little return.

But everybody already knew this.

Thanks for the info. I’ll be sure to check them out!

If the Dems raise more money, this is a strong mark in their favor. People like them. They are in ascendancy. The future belongs to them.

If the GOP raises more money, this demonstrates their essentially evil character. They are bought and paid for. The party of the rich. Halliburton calls the shots.

Yep. That point was even made in this article. Notice the continual use of "the Long-Feared Republican Fundraising MACHINE" and "the Bush-Cheney MACHINE". That word "machine" is used over and over by the DBM to create a sense in the mind of the simpleton that the Republican Party should be hated and feared.

[tgusa]

How much $$ did the RSCC pee away supporting that worst of RINOs Lincoln Chaffee? Sorry if the truth hurts.

SHAMNESTY.....KILLED THE GOLDEN GOOSE

Bingo!

The GOP is reaping the reaction to those who joined with dems to discard US sovereignty and continue to violate their mandate to protect this nation.

[griswold3]

Let these Dems ‘pour sand down a rat hole’.
I am ‘keeping my powder dry’.

As in the past, they will grasp defeat from the jaws of victory by nominating a looser, such as Gore, Kerry, and currently Clinton.

As for President Bush, the opposition has sucked all the oxygen out of the room by demonizing him successfully. Everything is ‘Bush’s Fault’. The ‘swarm’ never thinks past the next election cycle in favor of the future of this country.

The ‘collectivist’ mentality, the dependency index, etc have tilted the scales. If the left is allowed to frame the debate, we loose. Gone are our ideology of individual liberty and economic freedom.

One can no longer debate issues in this current atmosphere. Any issues.

[goodnesswins]

YES! The Club for Growth (I wonder how much money they are raising????) But, also, I believe Republican’s have learned to give to INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES, NOT to the “Party” and until a viable candidate arises....little money will flow.

[Right Cal Gal]

I agree. Hillary has been thrown softballs for so many years, I don’t think she has any idea what she’s in store for. Glenn Beck on Headline News, Sean Hannity on Fox will not be spinning “good” Hillary stories. The blogs will go for her with a vengence. Hillary is used to pampering by the press. Even now there’s no real outcry because we’re biding our time. I’m sure she’ll try to prep herself with an answer but really, her contempt for the American people will show through. She won’t be able to simply campaign in California and New York. Wait’ll she tries to win over Texas.

And I hope against hope that some enterprising person does one, just one, anti-Hillary commercial featuring Billy Dale discussing how he had to spend the entirety of his savings defending himself against the Clinton smear machine.

I hope the FBI files come up. And how her husband’s whoring around was the fault of a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How many rich guys have tried to buy public office with their money and failed?

Lots.

No matter how many Democrat ads I see, I'm not going to be voting Democrat.

Money is highly overrated because Democrats believe they are entitled to win all elections, and have to find something to blame when they lose.

Their favorite excuses are that the election was "stolen" or that they "couldn't get their message out" because the opposition had more money than they.

Fred is going to beat Hillary. He's the only GOP wannabe who can.

PS - Isn't it heartwarming how the mainstream media wants to certify Fred's conservative credentials for us?

I'm sure it's because they want to make sure that, if the GOP wins the Presidency, a true conservative is at the helm.

</sarcasm>

[RicocheT]

The RNC is Lucy holding the football, it’s the same guys that have disappointed us before. I toss the solicitation letters in the trash.

It won’t be until Fred Thompson gets into the race an forms a fund raising committee called the “New Republicans” that most of we conservatives will get out our checkbooks. The present list of GOP candidates is not the ones we want to back. For senate and house, the state GOP parties will have to carry the ball and get candidates and money to take back congress.

[econjack]

IMO, the leadership of the GOP are a group of spineless wimps who have been sucking up Liberal tricks for the past 7 years.

Exactly! The GOP has bought into the liberal philosophy of taking from the productive members of society and giving it away to the nonproductive members in an attempt to buy votes. Get a clue, People, it's not going to work that way with us.
