May reports were due in Saturday. On the Senate side, the NRSC outraised Democrats in May slightly (but got a $1 million transfer from the RNC), Roll Call reports. The NRSC raised about $4.5 million, $3.7 million on hand and no debt; the DSCC took in about $3.5 million, had $4 million on hand, but was operating with $4.2 million in debt.

House Democrats raised about $3.4 million in May, spent $2.5 million, have about $5 million cash on hand and more than $6.6 million in debt; the NRCC took in more than $3.2 million (including $1 million also from the RNC), spent $3.2 million, have about $3.7 million on hand and have $4 million in debt.

Doesn't look like much difference here, and the repugnant ones sure aren't raising the kind of money they need to fool Mainstream America with their pack of negative lies.

In Democrats We Trust!

I'm happy for all of them with their bunches of money. Now can you all start working for the people and get sh*t done? Both Dems & Repubs need to focus on what the people of this country elected them to do. Quit with the name calling, whining, bashing each other, and do your freakin jobs. I am at 0 tolerance level today with our politicians.

Obama's Approval Index Hits New Low
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President

The tide is turning - and no matter how many lies most on this site believe - BoBo's train is running out of gas!

Feds Spending $423K to Study Why Men Don't Like Condoms

The federal government is spending $423,500 to find out why men don't like to wear condoms, a project government watchdogs say is a nearly-half-a-million-dollar waste of taxpayer money.

How will this stimulate the economy and how will this create jobs?

Which one of BoBO's friends are getting this "kickback" - How much did they "donate" to his campaign to warrent this "pay-to-play"

Isn't this ironic - as BoBo screws the american taxpayer!!!

I'm sure Soros will make sure Obama and his cult followers have plenty of money.
