The RINOs ARE democRATs.
I stopped giving to the Republican party and give only to the candidate of my choice and now I find they turn this over to the Party as dues.
I assume you will provide campaign finance reports that prove this, or we can otherwise assume it's BS.
I respectfully disagree.
It works in our favor for moderate Republicans, those palatable to the average Dem voter, to run the show till November.
Right now, the average Dem voter is not enamored of Obama and his cronies and his policies. They may not be upset enough to vote against him, but they are annoyed enough to stay at home.
Let the right-wing GOP or Tea Party run the show, and you’re more likely to see them get riled and vote in November.
I want them at home watching MSNBC post a map full of red states on election night, nowhere near the polls.
The Federal Government has devolved into a massive insider trading operation that defies imagination.
Three terms for a House member, one term for a Senator, and that person is a millionaire ... as incumbents stay on, they become millionaires many times over. It would not surprise me if Feinstein and Boxer reached BILLIONAIRE status. Pelosi? Probably already has. Boehner? McConnell, Hatch, Lugar, Inouye, these people became rich as Croesus during their time in "Public Service."
Harry Reid? -0 to O say $100Million. Corzine? Lautenberg? just Wow! And this massive enrichment at the public trough goes from these top earners to the "button men" and "soldiers" in state and local governments.
Every piece of legislation on every level contains a bewildering number of amendments, add-ons, and stipulations that empower regulation. Just knowing where to bet is worth billions, not to mention pay-offs for directing the legislation to favor contributors. The small-timers get paid off with lucrative positions and information. An absolute moron like Senator Collins? Millionaire. Front "man" for her husband, like Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi ... just dumber.
The money is washed through trusts, family member's trusts, and offshore accounts. It's endemic. Our people are as corrupt as any on Earth, and thanks to us, much better funded.
Go ahead. Laugh at the corruption of the Greeks, the Mexicans, the Banana Republics. Just remember, you and I live in one.
The post was about their paying dues, Did you read it?
All being libtards, they all suffer fro the same mental disorder - namely the maturity gene. They therefore TRULY believe they can overcome forces of nature in re-organizing society to THEIR model, instead of accepting the natural order of things. to wit:
There are now, have always been and will always be:
The Producers and the Consumers
The Consumers will always ask for more from the Producers, and the Producers, being compassionate to a point will tend to provide what is asked of them until one of two things occurs:
either the burden to provide what the Consumers demand reaches the point where motivation to produce is reduced substantially,
or
the Producers draw a line in the sand and emphatically state “THIS AMOUNT and NOT A PENNY MORE!
Dems aren't voting the dead, they're voting the massive numbers of people who don't show up on election day. The dead get swept up in that process.
Yes, and my post was about proving your assertion. Did you read it?
ANY expenditure of that nature should be shown on the campaign finance report, which is required and easily viewed by the public, online.
Just how much are these "dues" and are they different from any private citizen's RNC membership dues?
I'm not sure if such a thing is even a legitimate campaign expenditure. In fact I'm not so sure you even have to be a card carrying Republican to run for Congress as a GOP candidate.
I'll bet many of the TEApublicans aren't.
I suppose you think they pay the dues out of their pocket.
This isn’t my assertion, this is the meat of the post.
Imagine if a "green," very young Freshman Congressman from the majority party, could buy a Chairmanship, say, the Senate Intelligence Committee?
The "Republican Party" (RNC) IS NOT the National Republican Congressional Committee.
How does one tell a fool from an idiot? Better yet, which would you trust more? We learned of the direct connection of the RNC to the NRSC endorsement of Crist over Rubio. Both the NRSC and the NRCC also operate from money from the RNC. Wake the H up!
Neither.
My point is the NRCC is a different entity than the RNC, the other poster didn't seem to get that.
Both the NRSC and the NRCC also operate from money from the RNC.
Big whoop, they all contribute back and forth, up and down. It's all public information. Like it or not, that's what "the party structure" is.
As long as it's all reported, I don't care how much money comes from where, unless it's foreign money. There shouldn't be any fake contribution caps either. Wake the H up!
If you're just figuring all this out, YOU wake the hell up.
So tell us all, do you walk to work or carry your lunch?
So butt out....NOOB.
Because they want to or have to? I have to pay property taxes but that doesn’t mean I like the Mayor or city council.
; )
BTW, I agree with everything you said.
