Koch Brothers deep pockets are supporting .... TADA!!!

[Lovebears65]

Why do you keep assuming my stance on Soros? It looks like you're just trying to de-rail the thread and not talk about the Koch brothers and Cain.

Why don't you want to talk about the Koch brothers and Cain?

If the Koch Brothers want to donate to Cain that is their business. But when are you left wingers going to admit that the Unions use their money for political gain all the time. That George Soros gives to the certain candidates all the time but your ok with it

Actually, no. Cain is running for president. If two brothers are pouring money into his "grass roots" campaign, then it is ALL our business. This is our election. We should all care about the money and where it comes from.

And AGAIN, you make an assumption about my views! When are you going to stop assuming and actually talk about the issue?

I can tell your views just by the posting you do..

Yes we should care but your side doesnt. Several excellent examples have been given.

You guys didnt even mind secrets being thrown in.

Last I checked, "my side" is in favour of campaign finance reform. "Your side" is the one that opened the flood gates.

Right... Yes I remember the one sided idea. Were you attempting a valid point?

so what? really? the seiu et al doesn't 'pour' money into grass roots campaigns, add other ancillary assistance that is invaluable? ala phone banks, leafleting, door to door, showing up at events in mass?


and as a general note, if I wasn't aware the media was in the tank, it would amaze me for instance that 8-10 folks don't know obama got more money form wall st from any candidate here to fore.......

you see the msm will run with the koch bros. boogeyman *shrugs* dropping any pretense of objectivity as its in their philosophical interest too, yet, would not run stories on anywhere the same scale, when obama was taking gobs of cash from Goldman et al and nary said a word when he, against his own stated platform, dropped campaign financing , the first candidate to do so since its inception.

Lord, I do love the internet. It's hard to pull the wool over people's eyes when they have instant access to full disclosure.

True.

Which renders moot the conservative argument the media are ‘left bias.’

Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson told Newsweek he thinks of Cain as “Jimmy Stewart in blackface.” “He’s Mr. Smith goes to Washington. The good ol’ boy you just love. He’s the black man white people would prefer over Obama, and he’s the black man that is more like them and who thinks like them. He makes them feel they aren’t racist because they support him at this level and not Obama.’’

Disagree on a number of levels.

Cain is in no way Capraesque; indeed, the Mr. Smith character fought against the very special interests that the Kochs and Cain represent and support.

As to conservative opposition to Obama, that’s purely partisan and ideological having nothing to do with race. If Obama were to become a republican and embrace rightist dogma, conservatives would love him.

Congratulations, Mr. Cain!

Long ties to Koch brothers key to Cain’s campaign - The Washington Post

Cain’s campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his “9-9-9” plan to rewrite the nation’s tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.

The once little-known businessman’s political activities are getting fresh scrutiny these days since he soared to the top of some national polls.

His links to the Koch brothers could undercut his outsider, non-political image among tea party fans who detest politics as usual and candidates connected with the party machine.

Lord, I do love the internet. It's hard to pull the wool over people's eyes when they have instant access to full disclosure.

And in other news;

Herman Cain Newsweek Profile: Calls Obama 'Terrible,' Fires Back at Critics - The Daily Beast

Cain has spent most of his life individualizing the message of the civil-rights movement and insisting color should not play a role in modern politics. But such a view may begin to sound naive if his candidacy continues to alienate African-Americans. In the past week, Cain has had to fend off challenges from multiple black luminaries, including Cornell West, who accused Cain of “coldness toward poor people,” and Syracuse professor Boyce Watkins, who on CNN called him “the perfect racist.”

Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson told Newsweek he thinks of Cain as “Jimmy Stewart in blackface.” “He’s Mr. Smith goes to Washington. The good ol’ boy you just love. He’s the black man white people would prefer over Obama, and he’s the black man that is more like them and who thinks like them. He makes them feel they aren’t racist because they support him at this level and not Obama.’’

Singer and civil-rights activist Harry Belafonte, who made headlines when he called Cain a “bad apple” during a recent interview with Joy Behar, says it’s impossible to accept Cain as a black candidate with those politics. “I’m pretty sure African-Americans don’t take Cain seriously, but I’m not sure about white people,” Belafonte tells Newsweek. “They believe this black man is the real deal. He isn’t. Anyone who says what he says isn’t.”

Cain has fired back at his critics—and in doing so, only inflamed the controversy. “He’s been on that banana boat too long,” he says in response to Belafonte, accusing the 84-year-old performer of trying to “intimidate” people of color who might even consider supporting his candidacy. “Harry Belafonte called me a bad apple. Now he knows he’s not going to shut me up.” And speaking to other media outlets earlier this week, he said West had “been in academia too long” and was hung up on “symbolic stuff.”

Oh, yeah. This is going to be oodles of fun.

What are you talking about - the wool was pulled over your eyes when mommy & daddy brainwashed you with their Socialism/Marxism/Communism B.S. and clearly the internet has not helped YOU any.

Are we supposed to be stunned that hard working, successful, wealthy business men are backing a candidate who believes in what this country was founded on? Namely that the government has NO legal authority to provide for the people. That is should follow the Constitution - the ultimate law of the land. And that people like you who want Socialism/Marixsm/Communism should move to Cuba.

By the way, last time I checked, George Soros (the billionair who takes great pride in collapsing governments and who called working for Adolf Hilter and the Nazi's "the best time of his life") was spending billions supporting Obama, The Center for American Progress, and Media Matters among hundres of others. Lord how I love the internet! If you want to learn something, take a look at the actual internet and not the brainwashing left-wing Communism pages filled with propaganda that you frequent....

I am not saying that at all. Its you guys who keep saying about the Koch brothers and donations we are just trying to point out how hypocritical you guys are

It's not hypocritical.

I don't want to see two brothers be allowed to funnel an unlimited amount of money into our elections. That is totally separate from how much money was funneled into elections 20 years ago.

But the unions, George Soros, the Tides Foundation, Americans Coming Together, ACORN and dozen of other radical leftwing organizations get a free pass on their political donations?

If it's not hypocrisy, it certainly is irony.

shhhh... I know... but I'm working with the children and they don't get the concept.

heh heh you'll write anything to avoid the topic. Cute.

 

[P@triot]

Because there's no way to spin it 'pretty'?

No need to... I see nothing wrong with donating to whom ever you please, as long as its above board and within the rules.

You guys are scared of Herman now.... its OK, he wont bite.

BDBoop and her pals are scared of Herman Cain because they are RACIST. They HATE black people. But then again, the left is almost exclusively racist - which is why you see the over compensation in their actions and words on this issue.

Ass-u-ming seems to be your job Toofuckingstupid. Either everyone gets to donate to campaigns, or nobody gets to donate.

That is called equality.

Dood... I've watched you shit your own brainstem because someone else had a different opinion than you. If your hypocrisy was water, you couldn't reach bottom. You bitch about the Koch Brothers, but ignore Soros. You complain about W but worship Obama who does most of the same policies on steroids. You whine about Citizens United, but you ignore the contributions of the unions. You claim republicans desire to suppress the vote but turn a blind eye to blatant voter fraud from ACORN.

What sickens me most? You're a Packer fan.

you're here defending whining about the Kock Brothers. You going to condemn George Soros too for corrupting the political process? Or the unions? Or ACORN? Or the Clinton Foundation?

I shall wait for you to hang yourself.

 

[Lakhota]

No surprise. Cain is just a temporary flavor.

 

[BDBoop]

Wouldn't it make more sense to put their support behind a NON "temporary flavor?" Or does said non not fit into their agenda.
