Chamber Of Commerce Responds To Attacks By White House, Dems (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | October 12, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

Bruce Josten, the Executive VP of Government Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, appears on FOX News to respond to claims by the White House and Democrats that the group is using foreign money to run ads against their party.

Josten says the Chamber does not solicit any foreign groups for funding of their "issue advocacy" ads. Josten says the group does not run ads for or against candidates, but rather uses money to promote issues important to them.

Josten categorically denies any foreign involvement to fund ads. "Absolutely none," he tells FOX News.

"I have never seen anything that rises to the level of this with any administration and I think it speaks of really grasping of straws at this late in the [campaign] cycle to try to convert something into a pariah for the public that just isn't going to hold water," Josten says of the recent attacks on his organization.

Our President has lowered himself to the level of a political hack in making these accusations. It is inexcusable on his part.

The dems bringing up this is the perfect opening to bring that issue back up again - and the FEC’s non-interest in investigating simply because the people who may have broken the laws ended up winning.

That would be the perfect way to expose the winner-takes-all-and-can-do-anything-they-dang-well-please-the-law-be-danged attitude that explains the realities that are so blatant right now.

No sweat, nothing here, it’s OK anyway. Klinton was caught taking money from the chicoms and to this day the members of the FEC will line up to lick his butt on stage, with cameras present,,and they know it.

The RATS take millions from Soros and other criminals and call the Chamber of Commerce “bribed by foriegn money”. Disgusting on many levels.
