Angle and American Crossroads GPS: Who's really buying her and why

If the outright lies and complete fabrications aren’t bad enough on the American Crossroads GPS ads supporting Sharron Angle, there’s an even worse side to it all.

Get rid of Harry Reid, get Sharron Angle the puppet in, and let loose the hounds of foreign corporations and dangerous nations on our government. This is simply the most outrageous and dire threat to our national security ever.

How? The Citizens United v FEC decision by the conservative activists on the Supreme Court. They enabled foreign corporations - such as the Saudi oil princes, and foreign governments like Iran to spend unlimited money to influence our elections. This very well could be what’s really at work as Karl Rove and his American Crossroads GPS funnels record amounts of money into campaigns like the Reid/Angle campaign.

According to SourceWatch:

“Although originally founded under the 527 section of the tax code, which permits American Crossroads to collect unlimited campaign contributions as long as it periodically reports its donors to the IRS, it has since formed a spinoff group, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (or Crossroads GPS), which is organized as a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization and thus freed from donor disclosure requirements.”

The Citizens United decision is allowing foreign interests to launder millions - thanks to their friends in the U. S. Chamber of Commerce - to influence politics in America. The U. S. Chamber is pumping millions from foreign interests into mostly Republican campaigns, according to a report in the Miami Herald.

“It’s time the Chamber of Commerce answered a very basic question: Since when do they believe that large undisclosed corporate interests and companies in China, Russia and the Middle East should help choose America’s leaders?” he asked. “Our country was founded on the belief that the American people - and no one else - should have the right to decide our country’s future.” Tim Kaine, Democratic National Committee Chairman.

A vote for Sharron Angle is a vote for foreign interests to keep us dependant on their oil and fighting their wars. It’s a vote to keep Karl Rove and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in place as a shadow government - and the best argument for campaign finance reform and the DISCLOSE Act immaginable.

This election between Reid and Angle is not about the crazy claims of illegal aliens or jobs or foreclosures - as Angle’s Karl Rove designed campaign would have you believe.

The bizarre claims made by Karl Rove and the American Crossroads GPS group that he heads - which seems to run most of Sharron Angle’s television campaign - are so obviously false. FactCheck.org - a non partisan group - has stated :

“Republican challenger Sharron Angle falsely claims Sen. Harry Reid voted to give “special tax breaks to illegal aliens.” He did nothing of the kind. In fact, Reid sponsored an amendment to the comprehensive immigration bill in 2007 that made it clear that illegal immigrants remain ineligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income workers.”

Notice that the ads don’t stop. They don’t change. They don’t even seem to care that they’ve been caught out? This is because they have been cynically created to appeal to the worst - yet unfounded - fears of the least well informed, most easily influenced part of the electorate.

Her claims of Reid voting to give ‘tax breaks’ to illegal aliens is referring to the Earned Income Tax Credit which already existed to benefit low-income American citizens. Reid’s votes on 2006 and 2007 immigration bills simply said that IF the illegals became American citizens, they might be eligible for the EITC, since those two bills provided a pathway for illegals to step up, do the right thing by declaring themselves and taking the right steps toward legal citizenship. This was in response to a knotheaded proposal - or punishment - from Jeff Sessions, R-AL, that would have barred former illegals who became legal citizens from ever qualifying for the EITC.

Gawd! Let’s punish folks for doing the right thing. That makes sense.

Then John Ensign, R-NV, not wanting to be left out, proposed that former illegals couldn’t get tax refunds or re-file to get those benefits. Thanks for waking up, John.

But then it gets dumber still:

“Angle’s ad also charges that Reid voted “to give illegals Social Security benefits.” That’s false.

Yes, Reid voted against Ensign amendments in 2006 and 2007 that would have barred someone living here legally from receiving Social Security credits for work done while that person was living in the country illegally. The key phrase in that sentence is living here legally. Reid did not propose giving Social Security to illegal immigrants until and unless they are living here legally and have paid into the system long enough to become eligible for benefits.”

FactCheck.org goes on to point out that Reid - for his part - rips Angle for her supposedly retracted stance to privatize Social Security and Medicare. FactCheck.org is giving Angle an underserved ‘pass’ that her recent politically correct claims that she’s not reallygoing to trash either Social Security or Medicare might actually be true or sincere.

Those of us who’ve followed the dirty trail of her websites know perfectly well that she would get rid of both. This being so, the Reid campaign if perfectly justified for calling her out on it.

Additionally, she has a deep and abiding fear that a raped teenager might not want to keep an incestuous baby … making a “lemon situation into lemonaide.”

She also stays up at night worrying that rich insurance companies - that hold all the cards - might be forced to extend mammograms and other cancer screening to insured patients. She apparently doesn’t spend much time considering how much actual cancer costs the country.

But mammograms, Social Security and Medicare, and illegal aliens aside, for Sharron Angle to win amounts to dollars in the pockets of some of the most evil, dangerous, anti-American entities on the planet … foreign corporations and foreign governments like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Hu Jintao of China, and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

So, you have to wonder just who Sharron Angle and her puppet master, Karl Rove, really work for.

Until Karl Rove’s American Crossroads GPS quits speaking for Sharron Angle- and Angle actually steps out of the carefully protected shadows of her handlers - I think I already know.
