Lefty Donors Coordinating Huge 2012 Propaganda Campaign For Obama

Via Weasel Zippers The WSJ reports:

Wealthy Democratic donors and party activists have met several times in recent months to map out the best way to help Mr. Obama win a second term.

The meetings have included representatives of labor groups such as the AFL-CIO, the National Education Association and the Service Employees International Union; abortion-rights organizations including NARAL Pro-Choice America; the League of Conservation Voters and other environmental groups; and some of the biggest Democratic campaign givers and insiders, such as strategist Harold Ickes.

“There is a general consensus that there needs to be something big on our side to counter what the other side did in the last election,” said Steve Rosenthal, a Democratic strategist who led one recent meeting at Tuscana West, an Italian restaurant in Washington.

“To counter what the other side did…”??? Are we supposed to believe that the Democrats were outspent in the last election? Because they weren’t.

In two-thirds of the House seats that Republicans picked up Tuesday, Democratic candidates had more money behind them than Republicans, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the Federal Election Commission.

Overall, Democratic candidates in the 63 races that flipped to the GOP had $206.4 million behind them, a tally that includes candidate fundraising and spending by parties and interests. That compares to only $171.7 million for their GOP rivals.

Democrats are mad because they only outspent the Republicans by 34.7 million in 2010. Apparently, in order to win with their toxic policies, and abysmal records, they need to absolutely crush us in fund-raising. Only then, will they finally, finally be able to get their “message” out.

And as John Hinderaker noted in Powerline, yesterday, the biggest donors (unions mostly) already give to Democrats.

Doug Ross says:

It certainly seems reasonable to me that the taxpayers are, in large part, funding Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign through public sector workers’ forced contributions to unions.

Dems have a nice little racket going for themselves, don’t they?
