Many people are under the impression that the Chamber of Commerce is some kind of benign business association, maybe even a governmental branch, that helps boost small businesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Chamber is, in fact, a rabid right-wing fund raising machine that cares only for profits and nothing else. They are against labor, health care reform, and regulation of any kind. They are against people and for corporate profit. This avid celebration of greed with the regal sounding name demonstrates how typical it is in the world of the "conservatives" by really not caring where their money comes from or how it was made. Most recently it turns out the CoC is channeling large sums of foreign money into our political system. Much to my surprise the Obama administration is actually making a fuss about this. Why can't they get outraged over the unprecedented use of the filibuster against Obama's agenda?
David Axelrod has managed to do something with this the GOP are masters of: He's flipped their accusations back at themselves by saying, "You need to prove you're not doing this." Amazing. Is our Democrats learning? Now they need to throw the results of their "free trade" like the massive loss of jobs, the number of us that have been pushed out of the middle class and it's rapidly shrinking size (shrinking into "lower class" and poverty) back in their faces.
