fundraising

Remember when George W. Bush invited the leaders of Planned Parenthood and NARAL to the signing of his anti-abortion law? He did this because he was in the business of building bridges to his political opponents. But now the important objective newspaper The Washington Post (an offshore tax shelter run by the Kaplan Test Prep [...]

It will of course be physically impossible for the Democratic Party to keep control of the House and Senate after the upcoming midterm elections. This is because, after sneakily running as the more conservative of the two major American political parties in 2008, they immediately launched a full-on Marxist agenda upon taking office, by regulating [...]

The Federal Election Commission has ordered Joe Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign (ha!) to pay $219,000 back to the government after finding good ol’ Joe made some record-keeping errors, used someone’s charter plane without paying as much as he should have for it, and somehow raised too much money from some people. Yes, the campaign that [...]

Fundraising fever: everybody’s CATCHING IT! People are giving Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee — none of whom hold elected office of any kind or have any power or influence — hundreds of thousands of dollars. These people are already pretty well off, too! Naturally, John Boehner, a real live elected official who [...]

The latest fundraising figures are in (and by “in,” we mean somebody called Alvin), and it appears a thousand dollars have come to Alvin Greene so far in his lack of a campaign. That’s 1/3500 the amount his opponent Jim DeMint has actively raised, which is an action out of step with The Way. It’s [...]

Mitt Romney raised more money for his PAC than any of the other supposed Republican candidates for president in the 2012 election, so congrats, Mittens, you are the new leader of the free world. Romney came up with $1.8 million of other people’s money, beating “second place” Sarah Palin by a million dollars or so. [...]

At one time, Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul was the hero of Teabaggers everywhere, but now they are sad and (wait for it) angry that he has accepted campaign contributions from people at a fundraiser IN WASHINGTON, DC, OF ALL PLACES. How could he go there and do that to us? Rand Paul is [...]

See, we told you exactly how sorry this idiot “Noogieburger” would be for shouting “baby-killer” at his colleague, while in session in the United States House of Representatives: just sorry enough not to shout CHA-CHING!!!! in his big fundraising video one day later. His wife Dana sure knows how big a score this will be; [...]

Uh oh! Somebody found the playbook, and it’s full of secret, evil GOP strategies that have been obvious to any human being who’s watched any half-second of any news coverage at any point in the last 30 to 200 million years. Although the Scooby Doo imagery is new, hadn’t considered that yet.

AL FRANKEN WANTS TO STOP THE TEEVEE: “I came to Washington to stand up to the lopsided influence of special interests on behalf of middle class Minnesota families, and opposing this merger is an opportunity to do just that. And as much as I don’t trust Comcast and NBC to be honest brokers on this [...]

John Kerry, who polls suggest is one of only a handful of Democrats remaining in Massachusetts, is furious over the Naked Republican’s insurgent campaign, calling his supporters “tea baggers” and all. He’s already rolled up one sleeve, don’t make him roll up the second! Because then… well then he might have to write a principled [...]

The RNC has no money you guys! JOIN THE CLUB, right? Like with the recession and how no one has any money? Ha ha ha. But the RNC’s paltry cash-on-hand problem isn’t very similar in nature to the Average American’s paltry cash-on-hand problem, which is rooted in the “I have no job to give me [...]

Sex-having Sen. John Ensign hauled in a whopping $33k for himself and his Republican Party last quarter, down approximately $300,000 from the previous quarter, when he was still a virgin. This is great news for the corporates! Ensign’s vote-selling fee is spiraling down down down to a farthing’s worth: “Most of Ensign’s contributions since news [...]

Senatorial grumpus Chuck Grassley really wants a solid, bipartisan health care reform bill to pass, you guys. This is why he has been refusing to compromise on a single thing for eight months — and more recently, spreading toxic falsehoods and suggesting he’ll vote against his own bill — in his role as chief Republican [...]

Paultards were so sad when their Hobbit-King, Ron Paul, finally quit running for President sometime earlier this year. They had nobody to whom they could send their precious money-bombs of Liberty! Fortunately, his son — Ayn “Rand” Paul — is running for Senate in Kentucky, and he raised many moneys yesterday in one of these [...]
