The question no one seems to want to ask. Just how large is the GOP organization and who are the main people involved in destroying President Obama's ability to govern?

(3,003 posts)35% of which are die-hard, damn-the-facts conservatives (i.e.--far right, tea-baggers, libertarians, etc.) and the rest are establishment Republican supporters.
We are becoming the majority thanks in part to the growing African-American and Hispanic populations, but for now the country is very evenly-divided. This is why it is imperative that every Democratic voter, every faction of the Democratic Party, GET OUT AND VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION...midterms as well as presidential election years.

(9,457 posts)alot of it. There is billions to be lost if we get off oil in this country. They don't want regulation or oversight. If you're making billions it's real easy to spend a few hundred million. The Perry Family, Sheldon Adelson, (he spent $150 million minimum trying to get romney elected). One of the reasons he wanted romney elected is because he has 20Billion overseas he made at his Chinese casinos and if he brings it back here he'd have to pay about 2B in taxes. So clearly, 150m is small change to avoid that. Romney would have probably cut cap gains tax.
