If any of your "non conservative" friends or acquaintances complain about political contributions in the wake of the Wisconsin recall election earlier this week, point out that President Zero openly endorses campaign contributions. As in, he's had 28 star-studded fund raisers.....so far.
And for direct figures on the Wisconsin recall fiasco, it looks like the final spending tally could be as little as 1.5 to 1, GOP to DNC.
And as the left is whining about the "uneven spending", it's only fair to point out that there wouldn't have been any spending if they hadn't started the recall election in the first place. This recall election was punitive because Big Labor didn't like the laws passed by the State, not because of any corruption on the part of those officials. Which is why we have recall elections in the first place.
