Thom Hartmann: Chamber of Commerce investing in Republican politicians

Thom plus logo
Our democracy is screwed. The largest corporate lobbying organization in the nation - the Chamber of Commerce - is ramping up its election spending - targeting two Democrats - including progressive Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown - with millions of dollars in negative ads.
This is just a sign of things to come as the Chamber plans to spend $50 million this election year to defeat Democrats in at least a dozen Senate seats and more than 30 House seats.
Despite Republicans giving the nation a case of voter's remorse after just two years in power in the House - the oligarchs want to make sure their lapdogs survive the next vote. Consider the Chamber's contributions as investments to keep taxpayer oil subsidies and tax cuts for banksters in place.
