130. Sigh. It doesn't include money spent directly by outside groups and not donated to committees.

This can't really be so hard to understand. AFP produced their own flyers/ads/etc not affiliated with the committee. It's not the first time they've done this. You seem truly bewildered.

It's a right-wing billh58 Sep 2013 #8

Yeah, just another right wing republican thing, just like that GOP led Wisconsin recall DonP Sep 2013 #22

What? The NRA brought this thing! It's not even speculation. It is fact. CTyankee Sep 2013 #114

We are talking about the state voter law. hack89 Sep 2013 #115

I merely pointed out that it is a fact that the NRA sponsored this effort. CTyankee Sep 2013 #116

LOL. You fail to mention the Koch brothers involvement and then call for "truth"? DanTex Sep 2013 #30

Heh. Sorry, buddy, you're the one who made the affirmative claim, remember? DanTex Sep 2013 #122

Sigh. It doesn't include money spent directly by outside groups and not donated to committees. DanTex Sep 2013 #130

Where is your evidence of that. pintobean Sep 2013 #133

Are you for real? DanTex Sep 2013 #134

Maybe she would have tried pintobean Sep 2013 #135

Umm, it was clear enough for me. You're the only one who doesn't seem to get it. DanTex Sep 2013 #136

I wouldn't know what hannity mentions or doesn't mention on his show rl6214 Sep 2013 #126

Sigh. Yeah, and the huffpo article says that the there was also money spent by outside groups DanTex Sep 2013 #129

Yeah that's it .... etherealtruth Sep 2013 #50

I did not know the NRA had a vote... virginia mountainman Sep 2013 #12

Well why doesn't *everybody* get recalled in that case, then? Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #14

Because they didn't have the money Bloomberg does. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #18

I thought the recall was shaping up to be a bust on Monday. aikoaiko Sep 2013 #16

Wrong again, Robb. Those opposed to recall had millions, Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #17

I for one am glad such abjectly hostile personalities eschew guns. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #19

Do you have numbers of what Americans for Prosperity spent in Pueblo? Robb Sep 2013 #20

Don't know. But the no recall side had 3 - 3.5 million? Not enough, Rob? Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #26

AFP spent $34 million last year on attack ads against Democrats alone. Robb Sep 2013 #31

Truth you can't face: You had $$$ & manpower & failed. Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #42

You mean "we" failed, right? 2 Dems lost seats to 2 Repubs. Robb Sep 2013 #47

Your approach failed, Robb. Look closer to home in the blame game... Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #49

So fine...Move the party farther right than the GOP on the gun issue Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #57

Strong support for 2A is not "moving to the right"... Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #63

First thing I've agreed with you so far... Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #68

Too late to ask that question. We started it rolling in Wisconsin. GreenStormCloud Sep 2013 #103

What is this "We started it rolling" shit? Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #125

I remember that, wild bird Sep 2013 #131

Davis was recalled because of incompetence. GreenStormCloud Sep 2013 #138

No, it's not. That's just a talking point without basis in fact. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #77

Yes, under those conditions the NRA will love you. GreenStormCloud Sep 2013 #102

gun humpers Skittles Sep 2013 #61

I think the answer to that is pretty obvious, ain't it? 2ndAmForComputers Sep 2013 #62

Is it? Then say it. Here. nt Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #64

Why would I? 2ndAmForComputers Sep 2013 #72

Are you aware that you are on a site that supports the Democratic party? etherealtruth Sep 2013 #54

And again I'll ask: Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #27

There's the problem, Blue: You are ready to condemn a swath of voters. Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #36

By "elites", you mean the Koch brothers? Or they don't count since you agree with them politically? DanTex Sep 2013 #44

Just more untruthful attacks. BAU. nt Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #51

LOL. Dodge. Teaming up with the Koch brothers and then railing about "elites" kinda shoots down DanTex Sep 2013 #53

Truth: Controllers/prohibitionists feed the NRA beast. Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #67

Ignore the Koch brothers/"elitism" issue and stick to the talking points. DanTex Sep 2013 #70

What's funny to me is you keep lumping me in with the "grabbers" Blue_Tires Sep 2013 #65

I'm no fan of the NRA, and I didn't use the word "grabbber" as you well know. Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #75

No, the NRA is about civil rights! Robb Sep 2013 #35
