Breaking out the big money in order to save their Congressional majority:
At least two influential unions will spend close to $100 million on the 2010 election, with most of those funds going to protect incumbents.
Union officials told The Hill they plan to help endangered members — particularly freshmen — who made politically difficult votes in a year during which an anti-incumbent mood has filled the country.
Anti-incumbent? A bit – but its mostly an anti-Democrat mood. At any rate…
The unions see their very large monetary investment going down the drain. They’ve spent untold millions – stolen from their own members – to advance an ultra-liberal set of politicians to power in Washington, and now they fear power may be lost. They are doubling down.
Will it work? No. Money doesn’t buy elections. Corrupt politicians – especially on the left – think it does, but that is not true. Money can make it easier, but victory comes in spite of money, or the lack thereof.
But the unions will still pour it on – we’ll have a huge blast of union-paid lies aired courtesy of the dues of hard working union members, a large number of which prefer the Republicans. It will be a sad and disgusting spectacle – and it won’t affect the outcome in the slightest.
