Murky Group Spends Hundreds of Thousands against Obama and Clinton in 2008

The election year 2008 saw its share of attack groups like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. But while most of the attention was on the billionaire-backed attack organizations like Swift Boats that literally sunk John Kerry, there were also a number of smaller groups operating under the radar.

The Republican Majority Campaign is a good example. From January 2008, the Republican Majority Campaign disclosed spending a total of $350,000 on phone calls against both of the Democratic presidential nominees. The FEC filings show a number of expenditures in equal amounts on the same day against both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama throughout February and March. It's an oddly unfocused strategy and one that the group declines to describe publicly in any detail.

While the Republica Majority Campaign failed in its effort to defeat Obama it trounced Hillary Clinton!

The Murky Group Spends Hundreds of Thousands against Obama and Client was described falsely in an article on TMP Muckraker, a hard left organ of hate, anti-American rhetoric and upatriotic drivel.

TPM Muckraker (TPM) is a left-wing website hostile to Christians, conservatives and Republicans.

If you are a Christian conservative Republican individual or organization, then TPM has an extra-special type of scorn to heap upon you as all of the bloggers at TPM have doctorates, as well as advanced professional training, in the art of applying Saul Alinksy's "Rules for Radicals" against red-blooded Americans.

TPM includes invited bloggers such as the truthful Robert Reich and John Edwards - yes, THE John Edwards of $250 haircut fame who couldn't run out of a hotel and not get caught even if he had an hour's warning and whose perfidy against his cancer-stricken wife was only exceeded by his desire to remake America into a socialist pigsty.  Robert Reich is best known for training Secretary of the Treasury Timothy how to prepare government reporting forms.

TPM itself was founded by self-admitted hard-left blogger Josh Marshall in 2000 as a result of his personal outrage over Mr. Bush becoming president at the expense of fat Al Gore.  You know, former Vice President Al Gore: the guy who created the internet and who has for the last five years deluded the world with inconvenient lies.

Both Gore and Marshall are, of course, hell bent on destroying Christianity even while seeking to impose the grotesqueries of sharia law on an unsuspecting world including honor killings, cliterectomies, the stoning to death of suspected paramours and beheading of anyone who gives up being a mussulman.  

What drives Marshall to sacrifice the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded and replacing those values with some sort of ecumenical world vision of islimization, a true oxymoron if there ever was one, is unfathomable.  Yet, TPM is full of diatribes against Christians and Jews even while extolling the virtue of sharia.

In March of 2010, TPM smeared Republican Majority Campaign PAC (RMCPAC) by selectively choosing data only from 2009 and leaving out favorable data from 2008.  It did so in a blog item Republican Majority Campaign Scam which was full of falsehoods and misleading statements.

As everyone knows, 2008 was a nationwide campaign year while 2009 was an off-year with few elections.  However, in 2009 there were major issues being promoted by the hard left which conservatives chose to battle.

During 2008, 80 percent of the funds raised by RMCPAC went directly into influencing elections.  In 2008, RMCPAC raised $4.8 million. That is one of the best records in the history of PACs reporting to the FEC.

But, these facts - though matters of public records at the Federal Elections Commission - were completely ignored.

The 2009 data represents a year in which only special elections and issue-advocacy took place. 

Typically, the smartest thing for a PAC to do in the "off-years" is to work on building larger fund raising lists, doing research and laying the groundwork for the next election year.  That's why so little of the money raised in an off-year gets attributed to influencing elections.

The funds raised and spent in 2009, while not attributed to any specific election campaign (except in special elections), helped bolster the fund raising base and spread a message of opposition to Obama's political and legislative agenda to millions of Americans.

RMCPAC sent millions of emails opposing Obamacare and other outrageous proposals coming from this hard-left administration.  These do not get counted as influencing elections but they are important in advancing the cause and helping to defeat legislation inimical to free enterprise and traditional constitutional values.

Marshall further besmirched the Arizona telemarketing company named Political Advertising.  This so-called "murky" company is not murky at all.  That's a cheap rhetorical device used to smear a company TPM knows nothing about. Political Advertising is one of the most effective companies in the nation at delivering persuasive messages by telephone to millions of Americans.

All businesses that provide any kind of service such as offered by Political Advertising must be compensated.

No one works for free except in the make-believe world of left wing zealots such as those running TPM Muckraker. This is like Katie Couric, making $5 million a year, lambasting Joe the Plumber for making $100,000 by unclogging toilets.

You know that, I know that - but the dupesters running TPM Muckraker hope to suppress support for groups like RMCPAC, while ignoring the $300 million scandal involving foreign contributions to Obama's Presidential campaign!

Accordingly, TPM Muckraker's use of the term Murky Group Spends Hundreds of thousands against Obama and Clinton in 2008 is as misleading and falsified as is most of the leftist-dominated material on the site.
