Ha, a horrific Election debacle and now this revelation. How low will the Democrats sink to win Elections? Check this one out. An 'Independent.' Yeah, sure he was.
Campaign finance filings released last week show that just days before the Nov. 4 election, the Senate Majority PAC spent $1.5 million to help Kansas independent Senate candidate Greg Orman in his race against Republican Pat Roberts.
The revelation is noteworthy because Orman, a multi-millionaire businessman, went to great lengths during the election to distance himself from Democrats, including Reid, as he tried to convince Kansas voters that he was a centrist and not beholden to either political party.
But according to FEC reports, the Reid-aligned Senate Majority PAC sent $1.31 million to the Committee to Elect an Independent Senate and another $151,000 to Kansas Support Problem Solvers, the Kansas City Star reports.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, both of those groups supported Orman in his race against the 78-year-old Roberts.
The Committee to Elect an Independent Senate spent $3.9 million, all of it to support Orman.
Likewise, Kansans Support Problem Solvers spent nearly $690,000, all of it to back Orman.
Roberts ended up defeating Orman handily in the election, 53 percent to 42 percent.
