Democrats Should Challenge The Republicans To Forgo Corporate money.

[Syrinx]

Let's make an issue of corporatism!

[wake.up.america]

1. Great idea. The country belong to the people - not Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc..

[Perky]

7. Umm ?????????????

Last I checked Warren and Bill were people to.


Did you mean Berkshire Hathaway and Microsft instead? Besides. if you are going to rail agaist the bazillionaires.. You really ought to find better exampless given their philanthropy,

[Auggie]

2. Don't the Democrats count on corporate money as well?

[B Calm]

4. Democrats are no where near on a level playing field with republicans

when it comes to corporate money. My god, I thought everyone knew this!

[Perky]

5. Doesn't matter

Look...if a Repuke takes major contributions from 40 corporations and the Dem taks money from just ten. It is hard to muster righteous indignation amonf the "disnfranchised" if both are doing it and its legal.

[B Calm]

8. I agree. It's sad because without some contributions the dems

would never be heard. For that I blame the republicans, not the democratic party.

11. Please explain

You lost me on this one.

[Perky]

3. You guys need to wake up and smell the starbucks.

the power of corporations is too great but Dems take coporate money too... and it is the way things are done. Besides at least 15 Senators are runnung for President. This is stillborn for that reason alone.

[Auggie]

6. There needs to be an enforceable cap

[B Calm]

9. Only way that will happen is to vote democratic and demand them

to pass legislation. The republican party is in too deep..

[Auggie]

10. Yes. And Democrats certainly can make it more of an issue.

[LiberalEsto]

12. That's like denying blood to vampires

They would shrivel up into graveyard dust.

[Toots]

13. It is already illegal for Corporations to give to political candidates

They can however give to 527 groups and the like. Usually what happens is the CEOs of major corporations give the maximum amount and then all the brown nosers do the same. In that way it is a personel donation and not from the Corporation itself..

14. LOLOL!!! That was a good one! They should pay you for that stuff!
