Recently, the Democrats won a great victory at the ballot box. This was clearly the will of the American people.
Or ... was it?
According to a revealing article on Salon.com, the November election results were not so much carried on the backs of a populist uprising as they were funded by the checkbooks from several "gay millionaires."
Apple pie Americans, you might want to sit down to read this. Despite the number of doors you knocked on or neighborhood fundraisers you hosted for hard-working Republicans, your efforts were dwarfed by a fringe agenda funded in the millions by a few men and women bent on further crumbling the traditional family, as if beating up the traditional family needed any help. From the article:
"They turned the 2006 election into an object lesson in targeted giving that could fundamentally change the way politicians think about the consequences of taking anti-gay stances. And the money they gave to federal 527s, while considerable, was in several cases only a small portion of the millions they spent on politics in 2006, since much of their cash went to low-profile but vitally important state-level races."
Here we get a glimpse behind the curtain to see how the Dems did it -- they took an issue traditionally popular with conservatives and reached out to a select wealthy audience who were so incensed that they funded dozens of shadowy 527s in an effort to defeat even moderate Republicans.
Coupled with a very public attack on our nation's soldiers and the War on Terror, this stealth fundraising drive overwhelmed even the most mainstream Americans.
And that, my friends, is what happened in November.
