Subject: Corporations Taking Over-Enter RepubliCorp
Written By: CatwomanofV on 10/21/10 at 3:59 pm
I'm sure everyone knows that since Citizens United, this election season has proven that corporations are trying to buy this country. It was supposed to be under the radar since a lot of their donations are supposed to be anonymous. We can't have the American people KNOW who is financing these political ads. Word IS getting out that billionaires, and corporate bigwigs are funding these astro-turf movement & political ads. The Koch brothers, the Chamber of Commerce & their foreign contributors, etc. etc.

The Chamber of Commerce is heavily funding the Joe Manchin campaign in West Virginia. Manchin is the Dem candidate for Byrd's old seat.
And let's not forget that the SEIU BORROWED $25MM to get O'bama elected in 2008.
Or the Chinese money that Algore scored way back when.
The dem's and libs have no problem with big money or foreign money... As long as it goes to their own campaigns.
George Soros, anyone?

The creatures outside looked from jackass to elephant, and from elephant to jackass, and from jackass to elephant again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

90% of the Chamber's $$$ is going to repugs, and it is anonymous. The Chamber is tax exempt.

90% of labor money goes to Dems. And the SEIU's $25MM of borrowed money was beyond anonymous. The SEIU is also tax exempt. As Is the USWA, which, by the way, is headed by a non American citizen and takes money from its Canadian and Mexican members.

Citizens United was a big nail in the coffin of the Democratic Party and Liberalism.

Labor unions giving $$ to the GOP is like the lamb giving the wolf serving suggestions!

And the Chamber of Commerce giving money to the Democratic party is like Atlas asking the world whether he should keep at it, or he should let Sisyphus have a try.
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander, but either way, whichever side wins gets to bring in the bacon by controlling which projects get the pork.
