Selling Out America
More Liberal Lies
Debunked
(By the Numbers)

According to liberal Democrats, their loyal press and their
mindless minions across the country, none of whom care about the facts, they
were “elected” by Americans in 2006 for the purpose of “saving America” from
those corrupt Republicans who have been busy “selling America” to lobbyists and
foreign interests.
The problem with their story is, according to official Federal
Election Commission reports, it isn’t supported by the hard facts. During the
study years running from 1990 through 2006, here are the real facts concerning
who is selling America for political contributions…
Liberals say Republicans are owned by
lobbyists?
Lawyers/Lobbyists topped the list of political investors in the
United States giving a whopping $899,021,331, according to official
Federal Election Commission reports. At odds with liberal lies on the subject,
69% of the nearly 1 billion dollars went to Democrats, with only 30%
going to Republicans. Lawyers and lobbyists are clearly in Democrat pockets at a
rate of 69% of total investment dollars.
Liberals say that the press is too
conservative?
The Newspaper, Magazine and
Book industry invested
$71,255,043 during the same period and again, the facts tell us
that 67% of total investment dollars from this group went to Democrats,
while only 31% went to Republicans. The newspaper, magazine and book industry
make up much of the industry we call “the media”. Clearly, “the media”, at least
this portion, invests in Democrats at a rate of 67%.
Liberals say that “the media” slants right?
We already studied Newspaper, Magazine and Book investments,
which slant Democrat 67%. What about the electronic media, TV/Movies &
Music? Again, we find that
this is a highly politically engaged group, giving $201,603,054 during
the study period and again, we find that 68% of these investment dollars went
to Democrats while only 32% went to Republicans.
Liberals never want to talk about labor union
contributions…
That’s because during the study period, Labor Unions gave $586,258,242, second only to lawyers
and lobbyists in total investment dollars and to no surprise, 92% went to
Democrats while only 8% went to Republicans.
Liberals run to Hollywood when in need of
cash…
That’s because there is lots of cash in Hollywood and nearly
every penny is invested in Democrats. During the study period, the Movie Production
Industry gave
$55,178,478 - 87% of which went to Democrats with only 13% going
to Republicans.
The all-time TOP TEN political “Blue Chip
Investors”…
Of the all-time biggest political investors, referred to in
political circles as the “ Blue Chip
Investors”, 5 of the 10
are unions, giving more than 90% of their funds to Democrats. 3 of the 10
are special interest industries, giving more than 80% to Democrats and 2 of
the 10 tilt towards Republicans, giving about 60% to Republicans and 40% to
Democrats. Combined, Democrats pick up more than 90% of the “Blue Chip”
dollars…
Liberals say that “single issue” special interests own
Republicans… (aka the right wing conspiracy, religious fanatic
voters)
There’s no doubt that so-called “ single issue
voters” are very politically
active, giving $855,791,187 during the study period. But are they “partisan”
slanted in their political giving? They gave 55% to Democrats and 45% to
Republicans. But still, Democrats win this category too.
One “single issue group” deserves special attention. The
Pro-Choice lobby, who gave
$14,528,235 – 80% to Democrats seems almost three times as
committed to their agenda as the Pro-Life lobby, is to theirs, giving only $5,310,015
during the same period, 94% to Republicans.
No matter how you look at the hard facts, Democrats are the
clear winners when it comes to ringing the special interest cash register. But
somebody must be giving the Republicans money. Who is it?
Liberals say that the Gun Industry owns the Republican
Party…
During the study period, the Gun Rights Lobby invested $18,670,436 – and indeed, 85%
of those funds went to Republicans while only 15% went to Democrats.
However, the Gun Control
Lobby invested
$1,735,042 during the same period, 94% going to anti-Second Amendment
Democrats of course.
Liberals say that the Oil & Gas Industry owns
Republicans…
Sure enough, Oil & Gas gave $200,938,491 during the study period,
with 75% going to Republicans and 24% going to Democrats. (This could
have something to do with the fact that Democrats have blocked all new
exploration and refining initiatives since the mid 1970’s, crippling our oil and
gas industries ability to reduce our national dependency on foreign oil and
gas.)
Liberals say that BIG BUSINESS owns the
Republicans…
This one is tough to quantify one way or the other as it
depends on how you choose to define “big business”. Technically speaking,
corporate contributions are limited by law, though we know that several
loop-holes have been used to circumvent those laws.
The biggest loop-hole in the system today is the advent of the
527 Group. And if one takes the time to study where this
huge sludge fund comes from and where it is going, again, Democrats are king
of the 527…
If we focus on the BIG “multi-media” Corporations,
Time-Warner, Viacom, General Electric, Disney, Vivendi and the likes, again one
willing to do the research will find that all of them slant heavily, 70% or more
towards investing in Democrats, with the noted exception of News Corp (FOX
Group), which invests a little more than 50% in Republicans and a little
less the 50% in Democrats.
So who are the BIG Republican investors?
The TOP FIVE investors in the Republican
Party are, in order of
contribution size, Individual Candidate Committees – Retirees – Real Estate
Industry – Securities & Investment Industry and Health Profession
Employees.
At the end of an honest analysis of the hard facts, one must
conclude that it is in fact Democrats who own the special interest funding
bonanza and the special interest group who invest in American politics who own
the Democrats. Together, this is who is selling America out to special interest.
But why?
In short, the Republican National
Cmte out-raises the
Democratic National
Cmte via honest above
board contributions by almost a 2-1 margin… In order for the DNC to remain
politically competitive, they must find the funds to do so somewhere and if
individual contributors won’t do it, the special interest lobby must.
So, in the future, when you hear liberal Democrats, their press
and their many mindless minion talk about how Republicans are under the
influence of all that special interest money, revisit this column and join me in
reality…
