The Chamber of Commerce -- A New York Times Expose!

In a strange coincidence, the the New York Times is out this morning with an article detailing some of the larger contributions that have been made by corporations to the US Chamber of Commerce. Then, the Times explains how these secret contributions have been used to fight against some of the more job-killing attacks on business by Obama and the Obamacrats. Obviously, the Times is pushing this agenda in synch with the obamacrat campaign theme about evil foreign money coming into the US through the Chamber of Commerce to fight the Democrats. Even the Times has to point out that the money is not coming from abroad. As they put it, there are plenty of domestic corporate sources that want to fight the Obama agenda. So th big news that merits a banner headline above the fold on the front page is that American corporations are trying to fight back against an Obama agenda that has struck anti-business blow after blow against the US economy. Imagine that! US companies do not want to stand by while Obama and his party destroy the ability of US companies to compete in world markets. They want to avoid needless regulations that have nothing to do with helping Americans and everything to do with advancing the Democrats progressive social agenda. Maybe someone should point out to the Times that corporations are also guaranteed free speech according to the Constitution as interpreted by the Warren Court, the Times' favorite epoch of Supreme Court decisions.

For a long time, the Democrats had their union allies who supplied enormous sums of money and manpower to push the Democrats' and their attacks on the GOP. This election is the first cycle where Republicans have been able to respond in kind to those attacks, and the Obamacrats are going crazy. They lost their one-sided weapon, and, to make matters worse, the Democrats' allies are so demoralized this time that they are not performing up to their usual levels. Too bad!
