Could it be, could it be .... spines beginning to emerge?
It’s a LIE....the cBS headline.....THIS was about BLOCKING free speech, except for the DEM union buddies!
Who were the two Repub cowards?
Was this the Gouse DISCLOSE bill? Excellent work.
The “sponsor disclosure for ads” portion was a very small part of this hugely obnoxious assault on the 1st Amendment.
The election hasn’t even occurred yet and the Dems have started losing.
YeeeeHawwww
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution lives, for at least another day.
DemocRAT campaign donors get to remain anonymous.
Obama Says Donor Records “pretty hard to process”
Charlie Gibson of ABC just interviewed Obama and asked him why he won’t disclose his donor list. Obama proceeds to dissemble by claiming that the donor list would be too difficult to process and that the campaign is technically following the letter of the law, never mind the spirit of it:
GIBSON: You’re going to have a half an hour broadcast tonight on a number of the networks. And the expense is not inconsiderable to buy that much time.
OBAMA: Right.
GIBSON: Aren’t you able to buy it only because you broke a promise on campaign financing?
OBAMA: Well, look, there is no doubt that the amount of money that we’ve raised in this campaign has been extraordinary and surprised me as much as anybody — maybe more than anybody. What I would simply point to is that the way we have raised this money has been by expanding the pool of small donors in this country in an unprecedented way.
GIBSON: But you haven’t released their names.
OBAMA: We’ve got…
GIBSON: We don’t know who they are.
OBAMA: Well, look, the — a whole bunch of them were out here today. I mean, you’re looking the people who are giving 5, 10, $25. Ordinary folks who have gotten impassioned about this campaign in a way that is unprecedented. And that, really, is…
GIBSON: Shouldn’t we know the names of that list?
OBAMA: Look, you know, 3.1 million donors would be a pretty hard thing for us to be able to process. And we have done everything that’s been asked of us under the FEC guidelines. These are small donors. They’re ordinary folks. And the idea behind all campaign finance reform is to make sure that the public official is not bought and sold; that that public official is accountable to the public, that they are not subject to undue influence by big special interests in Washington and lobbyists…
Raising money from small donors in an unprecedented way? That’s an understatement.

Wonder, joy and glory!!!! Our guys are regrowing their BALLS!!! Thank God for the Tea Party.
Astounding. They have succeeded in blocking this and the ‘Nightmare’ amendment inserted into the defense bill.
Good Job now...why do we have Deathcare again?
Incumbent Protection Act FAILS! :)
It’ll be back Nov 3. :)
“We have these nameless, faceless individuals spending huge amounts of money, corporate money and other money. There is certainly no transparency whatsoever,” Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Democrats were playing “pure politics” in trying to stop opponents from criticizing Democratic policies. “They’re trying to rig the system to their advantage. That’s it. It’s quite simple.”
Schumer said Democrats were prepared to move the effective date of the bill to next January so it would not influence the November elections, but that offer failed to win any Republican support.
YIKES! They got only 57 last time. Thankfully it is too late for them to try this again before the election.
We must remember, it was ONE vote from moving forward....
