‘Real News From The Blaze’ Begins ‘The War Room’ Examining Campaign Fundraising

“Real News” began the show’s new daily political segment titled “The War Room” Tuesday, examining campaign fundraising.

A new Washington Post poll shows President Obama and Mitt Romney still in a dead heat, despite Romney out-raising Obama in June by $35 million and the Obama campaign spending millions in a multi-state negative ad blitz against their opponent.

A lot of noise is made about campaign spending and fundraising, but is there any direct evidence that it can tip an election in one direction or the other? President Obama has been leaning on big donors to boost his fundraising numbers in posh New York City apartments, glitzy Hollywood homes, and the Hamptons, where he outraised Romney by 39 percent. On the other side, Wall Street has firmly backed Romney. On “Real News” Tuesday, the influence of fundraising on this election was debated, as well as whether or not money really equals votes:

    Why is it that no one is reporting on the FAILURE to prosecute Obama’s ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN DONATIONS – for 2008 – from FOREIGN countries – that were run through a SINGLE Bank in California?

    Why is Holder getting a Free Pass – from the media – for not prosecuting these CRIMINAL activities?

    What is going on with KAMALA HARRIS as the California State Attorney General – failing to prosecute Obama’s ILLEGAL Campaign donations?

    Is it because Kamala Harris is intended to be Obama’s next nominee for the US Supreme Court?

    Or is it because her brother-in-law – TONY WEST – was placed in the #3 position at the Department of Justice – when he previously handled raising $65 MILLION for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign – while working at the Law Firm handling the NUMEROUS legal challenges to Obama’s “ineligibility” to serve as POTUS and Commander-in-Chief?

    Was California State AG – Kamala Harris’ brother-in-law – Tony West involved in soliciting – or managing campaign contributions – from FOREIGN countries – on behalf of Obama – since West represented American John Lindh who was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan – fighting with the Taliban?

    Obama spent $91 MILLION – in just “eight” States – to devise FALSE NARRATIVES about his opponent.

    ****Gee, I wonder how many unemployed people – who lost their jobs and homes – through Obama’s failed economic policies – would view Obama’s extravagant, and wasteful spending of $91 MILLION to devise False Narratives about his opponent – as cause to re-elect Obama as a Black and White Fraud w his Gangster Government?

    In my opinion (HA!), this election cycle is happening at the local level; both tea party and the panther/islam groups. panther/islam trying to get out the vote; and the tea party doing the same plus filling the local posts that are unelected non paying within the local government entities. Those that recognize they are taxed enough already have awakened and are doing something about it. This cycle will dumbfound the pundits.
