RGA outraises DGA in 2009

The Democratic and Republican Governor's Associations both said Monday that they had broken their own one-year fundraising records, though the GOP is headed into the New Year with the clear financial advantage.

The DGA raised just over $23.1 million in 2009, the organization announced, and currently holds $17.5 million cash-on-hand. The group says its cash-on-hand figure is nearly 12 times as much as it had during the same period in 2010.

Republicans, meanwhile, raised $30 million in 2009, and begin 2010 with $25 million cash-on-hand. That record-breaking figure comes on the heels of gubernatorial victories for the GOP in Virginia and New Jersey.

And I just have to post this extremely astute reader comment from the everwise sniffit:

Just goes to show, GOPers think this way: Don't tax me!!! I need to have more after-tax money to waste on politicians to help me buy my government and promote my conservative, big business, theocratic, anti-Constitutional agenda!!! Yawn.

So the RGA raised $30 million because they're trying to buy politicians and promote a "conservative, big business, theocratic, anti-Constitutional agenda," but apparently the DGA raised $23.1 million because they want to help everyone and create Utopia. Obviously he's never actually read the Constitution. It's comments like this that make me lean toward supporting involuntary sterilization programs.

No, no, the Dems want to buy politicians so they can save the world
