Sen. Jeff Merkley, speaking to reporters Wednesday after his big re-election victory, blamed heavy Democratic losses in U.S. Senate races on the flood of big outside spending on campaigns unleashed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.
"I think we should be deeply troubled by the results of last night, where an agenda by and for billionaires -- campaigns funded by out-of-state billionaires -- had victories across our country," Merkley said in a press conference at the Portland Hilton Hotel.
***FACEPALM***
Of course the dough from Tom Steyer and associates was completely inconsequential....
LMAO! The Kochs, huh? Nothing about George Soros, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Katzenberg, or the unions? Really, Jeff?
STFU, boy.
Will Soros continue to stop the Keystone?
Interesting, they forgot to mention their own Devil George Soros, hmmm!!!
Somehow George never makes it into the MSM conversation....
Yep, exactly what I was thinking........but in their warped minds Koch money BAD soros money GOOD.
EFF off aholes.
Jeff who ?
Ironic coming from the party of the fund raiser in chief.
This senator is full on moonbat. It’s Obama liberalism. It’s incompetence at all levels in all departments of the federal government. It’s lie after lie after lie. It’s Obamacare. It’s take home pay. It’s golf. It’s trainloads of illegals. It’s spying on citizens. It’s “workplace violence” in Army barracks and Oklahoma City. It’s vacations. It’s ebola. It’s school lunch. It’s shovel ready. It’s mindless chants of “roads and bridges”. It’s Keystone XL.
It’s Obama.
Really? Doing the right things (the occasional correct SCOTUS decision, fighting fascists with money) can actually remove bad guys from office? That's good news!
“Koch! Koch! Koch!” is the new version of the old “Bush! Bush! Bush!”
Someone needs to put this guy, along with alot of other Dems, in a rubber room. They repeated this delusional lie so much that they are starting to believe it.
But liberals eat this stuff up.
Richard Mellon Koch strikes again.
Obama is the biggest Republican uniter ever, thank you Fubar Obama, great job.
=================================================
......hopey-changey-true-believer types harbored dreams that golf-prone Obama's ceaseless fundraising was going to save-the-day... In fact, Obama's obsessive non-stop fund raising among the smug/stupid Democrat elite was beginning to look sinister. Even the name of his new Ebola czar--MIA Ron Klain-- mysteriously disappeared from the web site of Democrats' shady mega-funder "The Democracy Alliance".
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, Womens Equality Center and Youth Engagement Fund.
==============================================
T/D/A just purged the name of Obama's Ebola Czar, Ron Klain, off its website--Klain is connected to the left-wing "The Third Way."
==================================================
The most interesting of the T/D/A documents that have come to light is the one that contains T/D/As investment recommendations for 2014. Not only does it list the recommended organizations, but it rates each organization in several categories, sets out the groups 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 T/D/A rates the organizations is Collaboration, as T/D/A 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 Democracy 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.
