The Neverending Campaign Ramps Up A Notch
Written By : William Teach

Childlike Democrats: Call my name! Obama, please! Save us!

Obama: All right, I’ll do it. I’ll save you. I will do what I dream!

Bastian: FUNDRAISING!

Even though the midterm elections are still a year away, President Barack Obama and the White House have started to unleash the fundraising force of the administration for candidates and campaign committees.

Though the president and his advisers continue to look for ways to create jobs in a woeful economy, reform healthcare and devise and implement a strategy for the war in Afghanistan, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are increasingly staying busy working to keep Democrats in office.

Obama and Biden have done well more than two dozen fundraisers for candidates for the House and Senate, the Democratic campaign committees and the two Democratic gubernatorial candidates running this year. About half of them have come in the last month, and the pace is quickening.

Obama and Biden will be making many fundraising stops in the coming week, and certainly in the future. They have decided on a strategy of using Air Force One to take them to supposed official government stops, then popping off to the rallies, so as not to be nailed for the usage of AF1. Meanwhile, their strategy also include holding off on making an actual decision on Afghanistan, supposedly while waiting for the elections to be settled, which could be months, if not over a year. While troops die.

The extra push comes as Democrats find themselves increasingly endangered by tough policy votes on issues that are further dividing the country politically, like healthcare.

Here’s a novel idea: why not listen to what the people are saying, and pass legislation that will serve their needs and make them happy?

One DNC aide, speaking on background, noted that the DNC has still enjoyed significant fundraising “despite the fact that we, at the president’s request, have not accepted a dime from lobbyists or PACs.”

Oh really? Reality says different. The American Association For Justice Political Action Committee (AAJ PAC) has given $771,000 to House Democrats and $133,000 to Senate Democrats during the 2010 cycle. I could easily list many more PACs that have donated, but, hey, the anonymous aid said “not one dime.”

It’s no wonder that Democrats are looking for ways to control the Internet. It is much easier to lie when people can’t take 5 minutes to look the truth up.

    I think you are missing the brilliance of the nuance here .. "not one dime" is, in fact, equivalent to the truth when compared to the actual money received from PACs .. a whole LOT of dimes

    It's like the the scene between the paperboy and John Cusak from one of his movies (Better Of Dead?) ..

    Paper Boy: "I want my two dollars…"

    Cusak: "Oh Jimmy.. I don't have a dime"

    Paper Boy: "Didn't ask for a dime…"

    This was the "shovel ready project" Obama was talking about in reference to the Porkulus bill. Phoney-baloney government contracts that pay out millions to screw in CFL bulbs in government buildings and the like, and millions of those dollars magically happen to get donated back to Obama and the Democrats.

    Individual fundraising from the rank and file Dems is way down, and caused a minor panic a month or two back when the numbers got out.

    The cloud of corruption over Obama gets darker while what's left of his charisma vanishes into vanity and vicious attacks against those that dare criticize him.

    So! Don't both parties do this. Sadly, the last president, and vp, wasn't invited to be involved in any campaigns, although he did fundraising behind the scenes. It is disingenuous to accuse one party to be any worse than the other one, as politics promotes and sustains itself with such actions. We should stop being manipulated by our politicians, which only results in polarizing the population. And who benefits, the one's in power. I recommend that we hold all politicians accountable to the entire country, not particular interests groups, as politics should be a vehicle of inclusiveness and mutual interests. Of course, it is also not wise to allow the extreme positions of either party to steer this country. The exception would be the imminent danger of the current economic mess. If McCain had been elected, he would have implemented some form of stimulus package, just like the former fellow did, so it is not a party thing but a 'power' thing and we, the people, must live with either their successes or mistakes, while they remain in their insulated worlds. k

    Darker?!?! RAAAAAACIST!

    Has anyone else noticed that all the jobs the Obama administration claims to have saved have been union jobs? Why aren't free market jobs worth saving by our administration?

    The Free Market didn't give him massive campaign contributions are turn out the vote like the unions did. Plus provide muscle to beat up critics.
