DCCC Largest Recipient of HRC-Pac Funds
Looks like there’s something to our contention that the supposedly non-partisan Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is really just a gay auxiliary for the Democratic National Committee.
Checking out “HRC PAC records at OpenSecrets.org for the 2010 election cycle,” principled left-wing blogger Michael Petrelis finds that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) “is the largest recipient of HRC PAC money so far this year“. Scanning the HRC’s donations, I founds lot of donations to Democrats. Well, they did donate to one Republican, but practically the first thing that DIABLO did after dropping out of her special election contest in Upstate New York was to endorse a Democrat.
And HRC seems heavily invested in Ma’am’s re-election, donating $4,000 to “Friends of Barbara Boxer.” HRC and Ma’am do have a lot in common. They can raise a lot of sound and fury (and a huge chunk of change to boot), but don’t seem able to accomplish much. For her 17 years in the Senate, Ma’am has only seen three of her bills become law, while HRC has little to show for their bowing, scraping and fundraising for the Democratic Party.

were any donations withheld from pro-gay GOP candidates assuming any exist)? were any funds given to anti-gay dems?
