Hollywood Left to save Senate for Dems

[GreenBean]

Hollywood is pouring money into the midterm elections, with A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Barbra Streisand all coughing up blockbuster bucks.

The donations are largely aimed at keeping the Senate in Democratic hands. Republicans, who have the political winds at their backs, need to pick up six seats to win control of the upper chamber.

Streisand, a longtime Democratic donor, opened her checkbook in several competitive Senate races, according to Federal Election Commission data collected and analyzed by The Hill.

In addition to a $10,000 donation to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $2,600 to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Streisand gave $1,000 to the campaigns of Democratic Sens. Mark Udall (Colo.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Jeff Merkley, (Ore.) and Mark Begich (Alaska), all top GOP targets.

Sounds like someone's getting nervous. Do I detect excuses being concocted in case Republicans don't take the Senate?

I thought the Senate was a shoo-in for the Right.....

Nothing is a shoo-in when it has been shown that the party in power will resort to criminal activity to maintain their power, as the Democrats have so demonstrably done.

 

[blackhawk]

Wouldn't these people be part of the 1% that the left dislikes so much?

I think I'm right! The excuses are being prepared.

Who says the 1% are disliked? IMO, that's a piece of right wing fiction. All we ask is that they pay their fair share.

It's well known that you're willing to say just about anything to try and win. My feeling is that since you so easily lie and cheat, you assume everyone does.

Not gonna happen. I do remember though liberals and conservatives alike saying that the rich have more influence over elections these days, but neither mind when the person these rich folks support happens to belong to their party.



SMH.

I'd prefer that begging for money was taken out of the system, but until the rules are changed...

Actually not a bad idea... make them run on merit, not on money.

Strange how the people who act out fanatsies and crate illusions - can't escape from their delusions.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Hollywood has way too much wealth. They offshore jobs for cheaper labor. Why isn't the Left going after them to take their profits? Wouldn't Hollywood elite be a good start for wealth re- distribution? Wouldn't these checks be better spent on the children?
