Democratic Convention Hosted by Republican Donors, Anti-Obamacare Lobbyists
Some of the members of the 2016 Democratic National Convention Host Committee, whose job is to organize the logistics and events for the convention, are hardly even Democratic Party stalwarts, given that many have donated and raised thousands of dollars for Republican presidential and congressional candidates this cycle.

(2,096 posts)I encourage everyone to read this piece to see how bad our Party has become.
And this....This is the guy who said Bernie supporters need to behave at the convention. Check it out.
That same year, Rendell started providing paid speeches on behalf of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), a fringe Iranian exile group that was considered a terrorist organization by the State Department at the time (it was delisted in 2012).
The former governor also joined the group Fix The Debt an organization backed by private equity billionaire Pete Peterson that advocates for cutting Social Security benefits co-chairing its activities alongside Judd Gregg.
Rendell is currently a special counsel at the law and lobbying firm Ballard Spahr; earlier this year, the firm launched a new election law group, advising clients on campaign finance and lobbying strategy.
I'm so disgusted.
