Democrats get TWICE the amount of foreign contributions as Republicans

Obama has been complaining lately about Republicans receiving foreign money! Scary, I know.

The Hill explains who really gets the most money from foreign donors. (H/T Gateway Pundit)

Excerpt:

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate criticizing GOP groups for allegedly funneling foreign money into campaign ads have seen their party raise more than $1 million from political action committees affiliated with foreign companies.

House and Senate Democrats have received approximately $1.02 million this cycle from such PACs, according to an analysis compiled for The Hill by the Center for Responsive Politics. House and Senate GOP leaders have taken almost $510,000 from PACs on the same list.

[…]“Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court and his adversaries over the bogus charge of foreign money tainting elections – while leaders in his own party had taken more than a million dollars from the foreign cookie jar,” said Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for American Crossroads, the political group at the center of the controversy.

“The hypocrisy here is just stunning,” he said.

Now is it illegal to get donations from “foreign donors”? No – the money comes from American employees of foreign corporations. But Obama is a hypocrite for making it sound so scary and ominous when his party collects twice as much as the party he is vilifying.

  1. Just happened across your post. Theres a difference between knowing that the money came from American’s who happen to be employees of foreign owned companies and not knowing where the money came from at all except that its foreign money. Do you want China buying off politicians? How about Bin Laden? Sure they won’t expose their direct ties or give direct commands. But they can certainly skew legislation to fit their needs.

    Lets drop the smoke screening and playing with words and get a hold of this country before someone else does.
