No surprise – from the Wall Street Journal:
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections, thanks to an 11th-hour effort to boost Democrats that has vaulted the public-sector union ahead of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO and a flock of new Republican groups in campaign spending…
$87.5 million dollars, some of it borrowed (once again showing how desperate they are). Here’s the kicker – as these are union dues paying the freight, it is really your tax dollars at work…especially that $160 billion Obama and his Democrats showered on the States to keep unionized government employees on the job…and paying the dues which winds up being the money Democrats campaign on so they can win and then spend some more on the unions, ad nauseum…
So, my fellow Americans, whom do you want to have the largest outside influence on politics? The Chamber of Commerce which advocates for less spending and taxes, or the public-sector unions who always demand more spending and taxes? Name your poison – but don’t try to tell me, liberals, that there is something wrong with the Chamber and something right with the unions getting in to politics.
