WASHINGTON — Here’s a pop quiz on money in politics: Who gives more money to federal candidates, the National Rifle Association or MoveOn.org?
Answer: MoveOn.
And it isn’t even close.
In the last two election cycles, MoveOn.org Political Action Committee spent more than $58 million in pro-Democrat political advocacy, according to Federal Election Commission records.
In just the 2006 election cycle, MoveOn.org spent $27 million in advocacy to elect a Democratic majority in Congress and used its formidable fund-raising clout to propel numerous Democratic challengers to House and Senate victories. By comparison, the NRA PAC donated $11 million in 2006.
But as any decently progressive person knows, the NRA is Evil, while the influence of MoveOn.org is Nothing But Good.
“Just because MoveOn only supports Democrats doesn’t mean it supports all Democrats,” Ritsch said.
Just the barking lefty moonbat ones.

MoveOn is just another “special interest group” with an emphasis on Special.
