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

[JWBooth]

SHOCKING!
A bought and paid for political candidate.
Will wonders never cease?

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.

Come back and bitch when your team stops accepting funds from Soros. Until then, you're just another hypocrite.

We can't control election money from the 90s. We can't control it from the 00s. We can control it now, and if you look at it now, which was the link I posted originally, you see only 1 union in the top 10. Which was my point.

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.

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?

 

[whitehall]

So what? Al Gore was cought soliciting funds from foreign doners in clear violation of federal law and the left ignored it. Now the racist anti-semites on the left are trying to create a conspiracy, based on their own hatred, between a conservative and Jews. The world is upside down in the minds of liberals.

So? Are you now suggesting corporations can't donate money? Aren't they people with a constitutionally protected right to free speech?

A funny thing happens when you point out a hypocrite... There's 3 fingers pointing right back atcha.

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

Obama raises $ 70 million for campaign, DNC - The Washington Post

He cant raise enough money to get elected again.... can you say one termer?


ADIOS MO FO!

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.

and? your point is what exactly?

and I see you made sure to add in the race baiting red meat ala Belafonte...I knew there was a reason you and Jillian shared an avatar...

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?

 

[The Infidel]

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.

 

[Trajan]

Yet the unions are the highest to donate to any candidate
. POT calling on Kettle

Then why is there only one in the top 10?

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