That's awesome.
I hope she speaks at the 2012 convention.
Nah, she can just unseat Harry Reid. That will be more than enough.

Who cares where she got it? Harry Reid exploits his political power to raise as much as he wants. Are her donors tainted because they oppose the regime?
The companies that gave it to her and expect something in return might care. Money is influence and 14 million is a lot in influence.
So what? Does her opponent have access to that, and more, thanks to his position in government?
This is open rebellion, pal. We're not going to play by rules the regime doesn't have to live by.
Thanks Fox news !
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Dont forget talk radio...... thats how I became aware of her, and when I learned more, I donated. Plus, after the Obama regime went after the state of Arizona, I had to get involved. BLAME IT ON THE OBAMA REGIME for a "change" (pun intended)

Wrong..... Americans from across the country have donated BIG TIME to these electoral races across the nation.
They are crucial to ALL of our well being as a nation. Therefore we have donated lots of cash... I know I have.
Give me a break...
I think you are addressing a point I havent made. I didnt say that Americans DONT donate to her. I said foreign money coming from the CC will expect something in return for their donations. How is that wrong?
What part of my post is a lie?
That foreign funds are driving the opposition to Obama.
I didnt say that, I said foreign funds are being used by the Chamber to make contributions to canidates. What part of that is a lie?
An American head of state doesn't attack American companies and American people.
That happens in Venezuela, or the old USSR, or Cuba.

Foreign money doesn't support the political activities of the C of C.
It's a lie Obama tells and you repeat.
That's how that's wrong.
Not everything is above boards... You're just mad that the Constitution allows anyone to donate....Nope, but when Unions do it they take credit for it. They don't make up names and hide behind the name of an organization which does not exist.
It comes from your history of idiotic posts on this board...Why add, "You idiot"? All that does is prove you lack the skills to debate an issue honestly. And, from that I infer, you are willfully ignorant or too limited to actually think critically about an issue.
You are free to infer whatever you want... I can't stop you from making mistakes...
Thanks for sharing (have you ever thought of dating Willow Tree or Stepanie? You have much in common with both).

According to the CC own application, foreign money goes into the same account that they make political donations to. Obama didnt make them do that, I didnt make them do that...they did that. They have the funds comingled in the same bag, pulls out some cash from that bag and then says "Oh this money, this is Americans money"
Maybe they put a stamp of "F" on the the foriegn money and an "A" on the American money. I dont know...but its all in the same bag thats for sure from their application.
Ok, that's fine just realize that foreign companies are making contributions for their best interest, not Americas.
To be sure, money that is segregated for other purposes can free legal funds for political uses.
But the chamber is hardly alone. A number of labor unions and advocacy groups that participate in politics have foreign affiliates and overseas donors. By law, these groups must make sure no foreign funds are used to advocate for or against political candidates. What's more, foreign companies with United States divisions can create political action committees that accept donations from their U.S. employees.
Those foreign-connected PACs have contributed more than $12 million to political candidates this election cycle, with more than half going to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks political money. PACs must itemize and identify the source of all contributions more than $200.

I notice it wasn't a problem when the Clinton Admin was purchased by the Chinese government.
Her donors may or may not be tainted, we will never know and that is an affront to our basic principles.

There is no proof at this point that any foreign entity has contributed money to anyone's campaign this election cycle. The president and the Democrats making these accusations are doing so irresponsibly and recklessly as nobody has brought forth any evidence whatsoever that this is taking place. Furthermore, these PACs that have potential foreign connections have actually contributed more money to the Democrats this cycle than the Republicans.

Listen, my issue isnt overseas donors its that the overseas donors money is going into the same account that they are using to make campaign contributions. it's impossible to say only American money is going to campaigns when all the money is in the same pot. That's a fair assesment am I right?
Hint to the drone. If the C of C was really doing that, the regime would be have sent the DOJ or the IRS after them by now.
This is absolutely astounding. I have never heard of a candidate not running for president raise this kind of money in that time span.
Former Nevada state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle (R) raised an eye-popping $14 million between July 1 and Sept. 30 for her challenge to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), a stunning number that far eclipses the cash-collection totals of other prominent candidates seeking Senate seats next month.
"Sharron Angle produced one of the most successful single quarters of fundraising in the nation's history for a U.S. Senate campaign," said Angle communications director Jarrod Agen. "This is a testament to the hatred of Harry Reid, the nation's disapproval of President Obama, and the unprecedented grassroots support for Sharron Angle."
The Fix - Sharron Angle raised $14 million in 3rd quarter
Make it snappy, drone. Show me where the money is one and the same.
Obama's or Biden's speeches are not a "source."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerces is a 501c(6) non-profit entity, which under tax law means its members are other organizations. In addition to its stateside members, the organization sets up member associations abroad, called AmChams, through which it collects dues and other donations. According to an explanation of the tax code given by the New York Times, all donations to a 501c(6) have to be funneled into its general fund, from which all of its activitiesincluding political activityare funded.
