Yeah, well, by comparison, how much did Obama, Gore, and Clinton collect in campaign contributions from the Chinese government?Yes, it’s a red flag. There were similar grumbings about the TTC. But once the presidential campaign gets rolling $6K is going to sound like pennies compared to the money that will be thrown around.
(and when you think about it, $6K from a huge corporation isn’t that much of a contribution)
Let’s see … who was it who said: “Politics ain’t beanbag.”Welcome to politics.
Makes it even more mysterious why so many people want to come here so badly that they risk life and limb to do so.
How much did Merck’s people give to other politicians?
Maybe the language isn’t what the American is used to hearing about Bernanke but what makes his comments attacking Bernanke different than these?
Mysterious? Do you know how bad off they have it in Mexico and Central America? You don’t see Frenchmen or Spaniards or Scandanavians rushing to come here.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the countries of origin for the largest numbers of illegal immigrants are as follows:
That is so cool!

It’s funny how they pick and choose which science to ignore. Why does no one question the theory of gravity when in the Bible a man is able to stop the sun in the sky? God may have started the the universe, but there’s no doubt that it has rules and is dictated by natural processes. The Bible is not a science book.Are there any Republicans who are on the side of main-stream Science? Seriously.

Here’s a little more background on Perry and Merck:

Democrats are on the side of whoever is willing to change their opinion in exchange for money and political favors.
Yes, I read this too along with the other red-flag concerns of this candidate. I don’t think anyone is interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if Perry gets the nomination because we are so anxious to overlook those things that should give us pause.
Right. Republicans would have rather jumped off a cliff rather than vote for alGore, but I guess his campaign manager would be an excellent nominee.
Yup. The Democrats and Republicans do a fantastic job of convincing they stand for different things. But when the rubber meets the road, they are two sides of the same coin. I mean, the whole housing bubble was created by a collusion of the Fed, the mortgage banking industry, the investment banking industry (Goldman Sachs, et al) Congress, and the Secretary of the Treasury under George Bush 2 and the Republican Congress.
You’re right about that. I found out the other day Goldman Sachs gave President Obama and my Republican Representative (et al) campaign “donations.”
So, do you think people like John Hancock didn’t do any sort of lobbying? Business leaders are always going to have influence on a legislative body. They are going to be very vocal and financially supportive (or not) depending on whether the policies you favor will benefit them. If you can show an example of quid quo pro, then that is a different situation.
