Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says a group of "angry old white men" is bankrolling conservative outside groups that are spending millions to influence the fall elections.

"If this flood of outside money continues, the day after the election, 17 angry old white men will wake up and realize they've just bought the country," Reid said on the floor. "That's a sad commentary. About 60 percent or more of these outside groups' dollars are coming from these 17 people. These donors have something in common with their nominee. Like Mitt Romney, they believe they play by their own set of rules."

Reid's heated rhetoric comes as Senate Republicans are poised to reject a Democratic bill to require outside groups to disclose the names of their contributors. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called the bill a distraction intended to "create the impression of mischief, where there is none."

Well. As an angry old white guy, I feel cheated!!!

Kind of funny that Berkshire Hathaway gives twice as much to the R's as they do the the D's, seeing as Mr. Buffet is on BO's bandwagon.

So who is donating to the Democratic camp?

....the rest of the country.:patriot::patriot::patriot:

If these guys are old to Reid, how old would they really have to be, could they even still be alive?

And I love the reference to them and Romney wanting to play by their own rules,
Has Reid not noticed that the dark wonder has been side stepping the constitution and making his own rules for the last 3 years?

Basically I have to say that Reid might be too damn old to serve, as is that skank Pelosi, and should save himself further embarrassment by stepping down.

....the rest of the country.:patriot::patriot::patriot:

Does not seem true this year, looks like Obama's rockstar status has worn on his fan base this year. Maybe it is the same people who donated to George Zimmerman's legal fund.

I didn't know I was one of the 17 old white guys!!! I thought I was one of the 4 million young folks donating to the GOP.

I would like to live in Vegas just to throw this old white piece of shoe leather out on his buttocks.

He is a smart businessman, "the Best".


JMHO

No link so I'm not sure if he made the top 17.....

George Soros is an old white guy, isn't he?
:whistle:

....and of course the usal Racist shot as in most threads around here.:coffee:

....and of course the usal Racist shot as in most threads around here.:coffee:What part is racist?

1. Does not seem true this year,...
2. looks like Obama's rockstar status...
3. has worn on his fan base this year.
4. Maybe it is the same people who donated...
5. to George Zimmerman's legal fund.


Just because you claim something is racist, doesn't mean it is. How about highlighting the racist parts to support your claim?









Educate us please...

Can you point out the racism in the post that you refrenced, Ive looked at it from different ways and I just can seem to find anything.

I am starting to suspect that you are one of those that just finds offense in anything anyone says. I think the term for it is, you have a chip on your shoulder.

73 year old senile bastage is calling me old? LOL!

Can you arrange for him and Pelosi to take the little troll Mikulski and the dip####s Cardin and Hoyer too? :yahoo:

I am trying to find any racism in the post myself. Only reason for that is the people who think Zimmerman had no supporters was way off. However he has received a pretty healthy fund from supporters.

No on the other hand Giantone believes everyone but the Angry white guys are donating to Obama which does not seem to be true this round. Considering Romney is raising money at a significant rate higher than Obama.
