Obama, Pelosi, DNC Attempt To Divert America’s Attention

“Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court and his adversaries over the bogus charge of foreign money tainting elections – while leaders in his own party had taken more than a million dollars from the foreign cookie jar,” said Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for American Crossroads, the political group at the center of the controversy.

“The hypocrisy here is just stunning,” he said.

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate criticizing GOP groups for allegedly funneling foreign money into campaign ads have seen their party raise more than $1 million from political action committees affiliated with foreign companies.  The Democrats have received approximately $1.02 million this cycle from such PACs, according to an analysis compiled for The Hill by the Center for Responsive Politics.

American Crossroads, which is backed in part by former Bush White House officials Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, has come under fire from the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress for allegedly using donations from abroad to fuel their political efforts.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Crossroads GPS, a group affiliated with American Crossroads, have come under similar attack.

Both the Chamber and American Crossroads deny accepting foreign dollars for use in their political efforts. The groups say they abide by all applicable laws, which would require that any foreign money they receive be accounted for separately and firewalled from their political spending.

Democrats have acknowledged they have no evidence the groups are taking money from abroad and using it to fund political attack ads ahead of the mid-term elections, but argue that in the absence of tougher campaign disclosure rules, it's entirely possible.

The Democrats have nothing to run on in the upcoming elections just 13 days away.  They are trying to divert America’s attention from the dismal failure of their socialist agenda.  With unemployment numbers growing, the deficit worse, and the economy sinking the Democrats have nothing to campaign on. 

Elections matter.  Please exercise your Constitutional right to vote.  We can stop the socialist Obama and Democrat agenda for America.
