Billionaire Lifts Marco Rubio, Politically and Personally

This is the result of applying capitalism to government. When personal wealth is more powerful than government, it can buy government. Our government is for sale and this needs to be stopped. This kind of corruption cannot be tolerated. Both these men should be in prison.

When did cancer and genome research become a bad thing?

Maybe they should have designated taxpayer money to ECOtality - $115 million, Solyndra - $529 million, Abound Solar - $70 million, and Fisker Automotive - $139 million.

Oh, that's right, the Obama DOE already did that on information provided by lobbyists and they all went belly up.

The Obama stimulus package.

I guess Obama and members of the DOE should be in prison too, then?

You got it, and when the two combine into a national agenda and foreign policy - that's fascism. So this article is yet another reason not to vote for right-wing candidates.

do you have problems with Richard Trumka helping out whoever the democratic candidate is going to be?

It just went right over your head didn't it... The next time the right yells about money influencing the left, I want you to remember this example. Braman has no problem saying that Rubio is advancing his agenda. THAT should worry you, and yes they should be jailed.

I don't like money influencing anyone, but you can't suddenly complain about Rubio while turning a blind eye to the many questionable donations democrats recieve all the time. One either needs to consistently say it's wrong or shut up.

I've suggested many times before that contributions should be limited to 1000 dollars per election cycle, and citizens united being overturned, that said I would also like a pet unicorn. And without big donations the way politics is structured it's impossible to run a credible campaign, and of course the donors will be prefentially treated by that administration . That doesn't surprise anyone.

It's noted you believe in prison with no due process for legal conduct apparently

Oh BS. You said teh comments were made up. So prove it or admit that you can't.

I could not agree with you more. The point is - the right is being bought, so don't complain about the left.

I made no left or right reference and to me it is irrelevant to the discussion. I'd have said the same thing on a thread about Ms. Rodham.

He's an American labor leader. He's no corporate billionaire giving money for an agenda. He rallies his members to vote and be involved. Moreover, looking at the state of labor today it doesn't seem like his efforts are very much appreciated.

I turned to Rubio because it is such a blatant case in point about what the right is always yelling about the left. So, the point is - don't yell about the left.

So .....the man giving money to Rubio is a faction, and the AFL-CIO is also a faction.

Clearly you have no idea what has been said. :doh

I said it was a false narrative, and it is.

These statements are simply false.

Our government is for sale and this needs to be stopped. This kind of corruption cannot be tolerated. Both these men should be in prison.​

Our government isn't for sale.
"This" corruption, when no corruption was mentioned let alone proven.
And these two did nothing to be in prison.


An yet you are going to sit there and make ridiculous argument? iLOL :lamo:lamo
:doh
