Obama's campaign no-fly zone
Politico ^ | 8/29/14

Posted on 08/30/2014 5:15:53 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

In an election that Republicans want to make all about President Barack Obama, the White House is determined to make him all but disappear in the battleground states that matter. The White House is putting the finishing touches on a post-Labor Day schedule that will send the president to states where he’s still popular, such as: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, Obama officials and Democratic operatives said this week.

Obama's running scared...avoiding battleground states .....places where Dummy dirty work stole 2012 for him.

But will Republicans be astute enough to fashion a campaign strategy that ties Bammy to his lockstepping Dummycrat pals?

I’d say “roast his marshmallow by the book”, but I don’t think anyone would appreciate my humor.

Obama's obsessive non-stop fund raising among the smug/stupid elite is beginning to look sinister. The world smolders but the Dumobcrat ding-a-lings soldier on w/ big bucks fund-raising.

=========================================

REALITY CHECK Could this be a WH/Democrat Ponzi scheme in progress?

While they bash Wall Street publicly, leaders of the Democrats' mega-funder "The Democracy Alliance" have quietly recruited venture capitalists, bankers and hedge fund moguls -- along with union bosses and red-diaper trust fund babies -- to fund their takeover goals. ....$230,000 public school union dues go to the Democrats' "Democracy Alliance."

"The Democracy Alliance" does not itself raise and spend a great deal of money. Rather, being a partner in the Alliance requires one to contribute large amounts to other left-wing groups. The Alliance evaluates left-wing organizations on various criteria, and makes recommendations to its members as to where they should put their money. Currently, the Alliance lists 21 groups in its “Aligned Network”:

<><> America Votes, American Constitution Society, Black Civic Engagement Fund, Brennan Center, Catalyst, Center for American Progress, Center for Community Change, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Common Purpose Project, Fund for the Republic, Latino Engagement Fund, Media Matters for America, New Media Ventures, New Organizing Institute, Organizing For Action, Progressive Majority, Progress Now, State Engagement Initiative, State Voices, Women’s Equality Center and Youth Engagement Fund.<><>

The most interesting of the D/A documents that have come to light is the one that contains D/A’s “investment recommendations” for 2014. Not only does it list the recommended organizations, but it rates each organization in several categories, sets out the group’s budget for 2014, and shows how much of that budget should be contributed by the 100 members of the "Democracy Alliance." One category in which DA rates the organizations is “Collaboration,” as DA believes that all left-wing groups should coordinate their activities for maximum political impact.

Opportunistic pols like Harry Reid have denounced Charles and David Koch, and others, who contribute to conservative causes as “shadowy,” “secretive” people who dare infest politics with “dark money.”

In that context, it is worth noting that most of the groups to which the Alliance and its elite liberal members contribute are 501(c)(4)s that do not disclose their donors.

===============================================

ANALYSIS Buncha sap-happy Dummy/dopes are feeding the Democrats' Democracy Alliance lotsa money---thinking its safe.....going to a "good thing."

That's exactly how Madoff operated. Money-laundering, tax evasion was part of the Madoff mix---helping investors, foundations, and tax-exempts break the law in a seemingly legal way.

=====================================================

Madoff helped himself to the untraceable money in the process.....and got himself in trouble. When he went to jail for 125 years, investigators found Ponzi King Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex financial architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

Dummycrats apparently took notes.

Harry Reid is forever denouncing the Koch brothers, and others who contribute to conservative causes, labeling them as “shadowy,” “secretive” people who infest politics with “dark money.” ........but Harry has no problem with the Democracy Alliance's arch-secrecy since they are his Dummycrat comrades.

Keep in mind ......most of the groups to which the lib-loving Democracy Alliance and its elite liberal members contribute are 501(c)(4)s that do not disclose their donors. In fact, this is addressed in a “FAQ” in one of the DA documents....which was not intended for they eyes of the conservative riff-raff.

======================================================

HERE'S HOW THEY WORK THE SYSTEM FOR THEMSELVES
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALISTS IN HIGH-PAY GOVT JOBS
:

EXHIBIT ONE While IRS factotum Lois Lerner was OFFICIALLY overseeing tax-exempt groups, she talked about taking a job with Obama’s tax-exempt/nonprofit Democrat advocacy group "Organizing for Action" (OFA)-----at the same time she wielded official IRS oversight over nonprofit tax-exempt groups.

================================================

EXHIBIT TWO Earlier, Lerner used her then-FEC position to save Illinois Dummycrat Dick Durbin’s US Senate seat back in 1996. She conducted an inquisition into Durbin's opponent for alleged election law violations....and it worked. Dicky triumphed.

....2014 Dicky Durbin's running scared, again ....as well he should.......

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:

QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

SEN. RICHARD DURBIN SALUTES SMARTLY: “We Democrats believe — and we stand by this — if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward.” (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)

DURBIN'S VOTERS HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE //////Harry Reid has no problem with the Democracy Alliance's arch-secrecy yet he is forever bad-mouthing the Koch brothers, and others who contribute to conservative causes. But Harry is closed-mouthed about all the "secret money" going to his grandaughter and his son. Read on.

WHAT IS THE CLINTON FOUNDATION'S CONNECTION TO HARRY REID? Under fire, Comrade Hillary Clinton asserts: “All of my six-figure speaking fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation to continue its life-changing and life-saving work."

Life-saving foundation work? So how come the Clinton Foundation gave a "grant" to Harry Reid's granddaughter? To finance her little theatre group in Brooklyn? What are the life-saving benefits happening there?

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

The Republicans have so many opportunities to sink the Democrats this year. They should be starting now with attack ads on every issue from Obamacare to ISIS, but all I'm hearing is crickets. They did the same thing in 2012 and whatever ads they did put out were lackluster to say the least.

Now is not the time to be gentlemanly and take the high road. The Republicans need to realize that these aren't campaigns — we are at war for the very survival of the republic. Time to hammer the opposition. Hit it hard.

Unless of course, the Republicans are being blackmailed or coerced to throw the elections.

Obama is not an empty chair. He is very busy. He and Valerie Jarrett are doing all they can to set this nation up for its part of the caliphate.

I wouldn’t say that Obama is popular here in Michigan. Its really more a matter of a few particularly stupid democrat candidates.

Mark Schauer has virtually no chance of taking the Governor’s mansion even against a particularly soft RINO like Rick Snyder. Gary Peters has gotten huge sums of money from the democrats for his race for the senate seat and still can’t match Terri land who has proven to be a surprisingly tough fighter. Neither democrat candidate is bright enough to recognize the danger of being connected to Obama.

Republicans turned out for the primaries in much greater numbers as well.

ANOTHER LOCK-STEPPING DEMOCRAT, SUPER-GLUED TO OBAMACARE, GOES BALLISTIC: Michigan Democrat Rep. Gary Peters threatens TV station licenses over Obamacare ad

Washington Examiner ^| 2/22/14 | Charles Hoskinson / FR Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 by Libloather

While Julie Boonstra of Dexter, Mich., struggles to survive leukemia, she now also has to cope with being called a liar by Gary Peters, the Democrat who wants to be her next senator. And the campaign of Rep. Peters is also going after television stations airing ads in which her story is featured, threatening their licenses.

The ad by Americans for Prosperity features Boonstra talking about how her insurance was canceled under Obamacare and saying that Peters' decision to vote for the law "jeopardized my health." The ads are airing in Michigan as Peters seeks the Democratic nomination to replace Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who is not seeking re-election. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...

===============================================

JUST A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION: Gary Peters should get professional help---he appears to be having bouts of schizophrenia. Democrat Peters was once all gaga over Obamacare---dripping w/ pride b/c he had voted in lockstep with fellow Democrats to enact the "Big Effin' Deal" (as Joe Biden called it). Now Peters is toying with the First Amendment--- threatening TV station licenses over an ad that simply shows how much he likes Obamacare.

WATTA LUNKHEAD Peters is so dam unappreciative---heck, Joe Biden came to Detroit---Raising Money for Cong Gary Peters’ Senate Race. (Jonathan Oosting, “VP Joe Biden To Do Fundraiser For Gary Peters,” MLive, 1/15/14)

===================================================

BACKSTORY As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act."

QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.” Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And the Dems marched in lockstep.....the persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

==========================================

MEMO TO MICHIGAN VOTERS Rep Gary Peters Is a Loyal Lock-stepping Democrat ---he Voted With Obama 90 Percent Of The Time. FACT SOURCE (Democrat Rep. Gary Peters, Congressional Quarterly, Accessed 1/15/14)

<><> PETERS' AYE VOTE FOR OBAMACARE Democrat Cong Gary Peters Voted To Pass ObamaCare. (H.R. 3590, Roll Call Vote #165, Passed 219-212: R 0-178; D 219-34, 3/21/10, Peters Voted Yea)

<><> PETERS CELEBRATES OBAMACARE In March 2013, Democrat Cong Gary Peters Celebrated The Third Anniversary Of ObamaCare’s Passage and Highlighted How O/Care Is Helping Michiganders.

“Today Rep. Gary Peters marked Saturday as the 3rd anniversary of the Affordable Care Act becoming law by highlighting the many ways it’s helping families across Michigan. Democrat Peters criticized Lansing Republicans for refusing to partner in the state health care exchange marketplace.” (Press Release, “Democrat Congressman Gary Peters Marks The 3rd Anniversary Of The Affordable Care Act--Highlighting How It’s Already Helping Michiganders,” Rep. Gary Peters, 3/22/13)

====================================================

Peters will fold like a cheap suit if Republicans run the blockbuster ad that catapulted Jolly to victory in Florida.

The blockbuster Jolly campaign ad referenced lock-stepping Dems saluting smartly to der leader.

Jolly lit into Sink's DNC-approved campaign promise to go to Washington to "fix" the train wreck Obamacare.

Jolly said the district needs a rep who will defend THEIR interests---not those of Obama.

Party operatives also expect Obama to help Democrat Charlie Crist in his bid for Florida governor,

Charlie Crist is disliked by blue dog democrats in Florida. The Floridians who are moon-bat libbers and LIV will vote for him...

I don't see how Christ wins, and with Zero campaigning for him will certainly hurt him with borderline voters..

Rick Scott is a decent Governor, but lousy politician...

Of course she does. I’ve never seen any polling that has her way behind. From all the polling I’ve seen its been a pretty steady race with with both Land and Peters swapping positions back and forth within 2 or 3 points of each other.

Land has been pretty solid in stapling Peters to Obama. Pointing out that he blindly voted for Obamacare which is unpopular here. Pointing to Peter’s support for job killing amnesty. She’s even smacking him with his investments in the Detroit water company that’s cutting off water. She’s also opposing common core and supporting the Keystone pipeline and expanded oil and gas drilling in Michigan.

The Republicans have so many opportunities to sink the Democrats

The RINO backstabbers are more interested in maintaining the status quo in DC and defeating conservatives. I'd actually be very afraid of the US Senate being taken over by back-stabbing RINOs who would use their new found power to defeat conservatism for good.

Our best bet might be an HOR that listens to its constituency because they're up for election every two yeans (they're pretty good now, but a few too many show their true colors when they can get away with it) and a US Senate minority with more real conservatives and a few of the back stabbing RINOs who work against us EVERY TIME losing.

JMHO

Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California
____________________________________________________________

I agree Obama will be welcome in the latter three states, but don’t be too sure about MI and WI. The only place Obama is loved in Michigan is Detroit and Flint. And, Wisconsin has made some real Conservative in-roads. While Miwaukee is a Liberal bastion deserving of an Ebola outbreak within it’s city limits, thanks to Scott Walker and others, the Milwaukee suburbs are glaringly red (Republican) as is the rural parts of the State.

Her (Mary Landrieu’s) opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, has also chosen to counter that by reminding voters that she sided with Obama on 97 percent of the votes on which he had taken a position.

That so pisses me off. Nine (9) candidates for Senate in the LA Jungle Primary and the GOP Establishment and the media have already coronated (my word) Bill Cassidy as her Run-off opponent on Dec. 6th. I will laugh my a** off if Tea Party folks unite, like they did for Dave Brat in the VA District 7 Congressional race against Eric Cantor, and Rob Maness is the 2nd Place winner. Cassidy is so GOPe and to call him a light-weight would be an understatement.

First of all, I wish to hell people would spell his name correctly. He is NOT the Son of God (Christ) he is a freakin’, liberal devil spelled Crist. Now, if Obama hurts him, then why in the hell did people stand in line in Florida, Nov. 2012, for 3 to 4 hours to vote for the s.o.b. and help stick America with him for another 4 years? NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HOW MANY AMERICAN VOTERS ARE DUMB ASSES!
