The Shadow Party

Here is a fascinating and lengthy article on what authors David Horowitz and Richard Poe call "The Shadow Party." What is this shadow party? It is the network of 527 groups which have sprung up in the wake of the new campaign finance laws and which are funded with millions of dollars from people like George Soros and his multi-millionaire friends in the media, unions and high-tech business. This shadow party is well organized and very well funded and is the moving force behind the Democrats lurch to the hard left.

Of course special interest groups have been around for years and have had some influence over the Democratic party before. But now these groups are controlling a very large portion of the money which the Democrats need in order to run the party and their campaigns. The new campaign finance laws have effectively handed the major control of the Democratic party over to the hard left, which is in turn being bankrolled by Soros and company. This article is good reading to see some of the important interconnections between these groups and where they may lead in the future.
