Millionaires, billionaires donating to takeover plan.
A Democratic juggernaut of local and regional organizations that blast Republicans and promote Democrats using money donated by hundreds of millionaires and even billionaires was a key to President-elect Barack Obama's win over GOP candidate Sen. John McCain last month. And a new report warns the same attack strategy now is being implemented in states, targeting especially the offices of secretary of state, where elections are managed.
"The Democracy Alliance helped Democrats give Republicans a shellacking in November. Now it's organizing state-level chapters in at least 19 states, and once-conservative Colorado, which hosts the Democracy Alliance's most successful state affiliate, has turned Democrat blue," the report from Matthew Vadum and James Dellinger of Capital Research Center concludes.
The report from the center, which studies non-profit organizations, titled "The Democracy Alliance Does America: The Soros-Founded Plutocrats' Club Forms State Chapters," is accessible online.
It concludes the 2008 victory for Obama was a result of the outraged millionaire donors to the Democrats who watched their cause fail in 2004 after opening their checkbooks for tens of millions of dollars.

Stupid GOP.
Stupid McCain... McCain-Feingold killed McCain... LOL..
GOP IS STUPID? I’m a Conservative but will NOT blame the GOP FOR all of this ..... many Conservatives get ticked off about ONE issue and whine. “we’ll show that GOP”, yeah and look what we’ve gotten. Therefore, KEEP FEEDING THE Left ...because they are watching and they play on every world.
Morover,Where are all the Conservatives with money? Where are the leaders with ideas who can present plans in order to bring in the Contributions? HELLO???!!!
Wake Up America!!
You’ve got to look at the GOP leadership which has become increasingly “moderate” (read moving to the left). Their interest in party survival rather than America’s good has been disastrous and has brought many conservatives like my self to wonder where our party is.
Washington hated POLITICAL PARTIES but became a Federalist.......Moreover, you posted to yourself? As for your last post, the post totally contradicted your first post.
You must not have understood my first post.
My last post explains why I think the GOP has lost it.
Your post was well undertstood. Instead of pointing the finger take a look in the mirror. The blame game is boring; why not do something to help our team win? Oh yeah, team work is considered collectivism by many Conservatives.
Honestly, when reading many post on here and on other blogs, there is not any doubt why we were handed our behinds in November of 2006 and especially 2008.
Keep on with the blame game and nit pick every idea. Obama and the Clintonistas will be around for eight (8) years instead of four (4).
Your response is as well, wholly inadequate. Like the liberals, rather than answering the argument, you attack the messenger.
Who is right?
There may be some truth in this. It's liking hoping the economy will tank so our side will pick up seats so we can make laws to improve the economy.
Reagan said it doesn't matter who gets the credit as long as the job gets done.
The values of our country are Biblical, going back to the freedoms declared in the 1215 Magna Carta, and expressed in our Declaration of Independence:
"...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The major underlying difference between the French Revolution (disastrous) and the American Revolution is the understood source of our freedoms. The French said our liberties are granted by the government, whereas the American Declaration was that our rights and liberties come from our Creator God.
Man never gave us our rights and liberties and cannot take them away and it is government's job to protect our God-given freedoms, the U.S. Constitution created to do just that. The liberals continually ignore and succeed in eroding the Constitution, the guardian of our precious freedoms.
Reagan, conservative's modern-day hero, understood this. The GOP, sadly, puts apparent political expediency ahead of these ideals and the future of our republic. This is the political essence of the culture war raging in our country.
To make a blanket statement that the GOP "sadly, puts apparent political expediency ahead of these ideals and the future of our republic" is not necessarily true.
If not 100% true, then 99% true. I'd be amazed if you could come up with even one example of where a clear decision was made based on principle when the principle would risk political loss or deny political gain. The GOP continually, more and more, "compromises" with big-government liberals. But these compromises have only resulted in further moves to the left.
The golden opportunity of the 90's the "Contract with America:" was completely blown. The GOP in it current configuration, is untrustworthy.
When someone talks down to me, then I see them as childish and immature.
Take your “I’ll try again”, and move along. Thanks.
Again, your responses, not addressing the issues at hand, are inadequate, attacking me personally instead. An unproductive effort, this exchange.
