"We're Baaack...": DNC Reverses Ban on Corporate Cash to Fund Convention
The Democratic National Committee is luring corporate lobbyists with VIP rewards

Reversing a previous position that sought to limit corporate influence in politics, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is sweetening the pot for lobbyists and political action committees (PACs) that donate toward next year's nominating convention in Philadelphia.

According to documents seen by The Hill, those who give donations and bundled cash could see returns ranging from "preferred booking in a premiere hotel" to a photo-op at the official convention podium to VIP access to "the official Host Committee celebration, featuring celebrities and other luminaries, live music, and catering by Philadelphia's most recognized chefs."

The Hill reports that DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) and other party officials met on Wednesday evening with approximately 50 people including "high-profile lobbyists" to go over the "menu of reward offerings."

They have to prove that the offending party willfully lied. It is nearly impossible unless DWS is on record as saying she knows it is false. That is why media and DNC are able to lie so openly.

Keep repeating the lie, and it will be true after everybody gets sick of refuting it ...

scorched Earth politics against the supporters they want to fall in line in order to unify the party.

we develop a lot of ways to rationalize what we do, especially when we don't let opposing viewpoints in. Some people can do a great job of lying to themselves, so who knows. They are lying though, no other way of putting it. Blatantly lying, and they're lying about the very people they demand to fall in line. It's arrogant, short-sighted, and tone deaf.
