Democrats have been whining quite a bit of late as
they try to convince anyone who will listen that they have somehow managed to
get themselves behind in at least one race for the White House, that being the
race for big donors. Now I’m sorry, but
I’m finding such nonsense more than just a little absurd. Democrats have long had an army of
billionaires behind them, those willing to spend whatever was necessary to
ensure the Democrat mission against America succeeded. And it is an army that is much larger in both
number and in wealth possessed than we could ever hope to have on our
side. I’m sure everyone is quite
familiar with names like George Soros, Tom Steyer, Bill Gates or ‘Nanny Mike’
Bloomberg to name only a few. And how
many Hollywood millionaires do they also have in their pocket? Now granted there have been a couple losses when
it comes to Democrat big-money men. John
Sperling and Peter B. Lewis have since moved on to the great beyond, but I’m
sure their wealthy families have remained faithful to the list of progressive
causes.
According to The New York Times, longtime Hitlery
ally Harold Ickes has been hard at work trying to come up with the Democrat
answer to the GOP's Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Foster Friess and Norman
Braman. But, or so we’re being told, it
hasn't been easy. It was Ickes who actually
told the Times, "Our side isn’t used to being asked for that kind of
money." He went on to say, "If
you asked them to put up $100 million for a hospital wing, they’d be the first
in line." Really? That would be funny if it wasn’t so patently
dishonest! But part of the problem, at
least according to the Times, is the expected nominee herself. Hitlery reportedly isn't meeting with those
megadonors on her side. She also faces
the rules limiting candidate coordination with super PACS, which are able to
accept the large sums of cash that candidates cannot. Another problem: People think Hitlery's
campaign has a larger budget than it actually does. Reports of a $2.5 billion budget are more
than double her actual budget of $1 billion, again according to the Times.
And I guess we’re also supposed to buy into the myth
that Democrats are said not to see any real value of super PACs. At least that’s what Democrat ‘operative’,
Guy Cecil has said. It was Cecil who
reportedly told the Times, "If we are going to be successful in 2016, it
will require more from everyone, at every level." Supposedly the ever-popular Democrat
Sugar-Daddy George Soros has yet to pledge his usual, and rather sizable, amount
to the Democrat cause. But there remains
many other potential megadonors who will, more than likely, make vast amounts
of cash available to the Democrats. Such
a list would include Walmart heiress Alice Walton, Los Angeles investor Ron
Burkle and media investor Haim Saban. The Democrats have never had a problem
outraising the Republicans. And this election
will prove to be no different. After
all, it’s the Democrat Party that has become the party of the upper crust, and
the affluent, not the Republicans.
Anyone who still believes the myth that Republican Party is the party of
the rich, simply hasn’t been paying attention.
