Karl Rove, Architect of the biggest bribe in history! [View all]

Last edited Sun Apr 14, 2013, 12:37 PM - Edit history (8)

After George W. Bush lost badly the 2000 New Hampshire Republican Primary to John McCain (McCain 49%- Bush 30%), Karl Rove committed to his friend Tom Donohue, new President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, that he would give business everything they wanted if they would help him secure the Republican primary and U.S. Presidency for Bush. This secret political deal gave the Chamber a blank check, drawn against the U.S. Treasury, on which we have been paying ever since the beginning of the G.W. Bush Presidency in January 2001.

21st century election theft opened the door to the theft of peoples' inheritance from the New Deal. Through a combination of stolen/tilted elections, political assassinations, and corrupt financial generosity across the political spectrum, thieves have had their way with our laws, our treasury and our economy. They have taken control of our courts, our Congress and many of our state capitols.

We need to resurrect, revive, and reinvigorate our anti-trust (including the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933) and anti-organized crime laws and vigorously apply them against the 21st century global corporate cabal that seeks to enshrine predatory capitalism and casino capitalism as the new world order.

Predatory Casino Capitalism is not the promised land Martin Luther King, Jr. forty-five years ago prophesied we would get to within the generation of those listening to him in Memphis, Tennessee the night before he was assassinated.

Do you think we should stop payment on Rove's blank check to Donohue and take back our New Deal Inheritance?

Yes, stop payment and sue to recover our New Deal Inheritance that Karl Rove signed over to the U.S Chamber of Commerce.
2 (100%)
No, Karl Rove deserved the right to sell our New Deal Inheritance so his candidate could win the Republican Primary and Presidency.
0 (0%)
Yes, but let the banks, big business and billionaire members of the Chamber keep the trillions of dollars they have already stolen.
0 (0%)
No, corporations are the people who create jobs for us and they cannot afford to pay taxes or fines, obey regulations or go to jail.
