Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donors

Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

Have i used Godwins law here? It was a simple question. You said that "one must be on the receiving end eventually" like i use Godwins law all the time, like i make comparisons with X person to Hitler or the Nazis.

All the time?
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

Silly posturing, of course, but it would be not without entertainment value. Who wouldn't love watching Obama making populist "progressive" appeals, with big huge "Kaiser Permanente", "Delotte LLP" and "Microsoft" stickers covering his Hartmarx suit?
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

All the time?

Go ahead have i ever used Godwins law here.. Its pretty simple question.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

I'll buy into this as long as it includes all elected officals in Washington. President on down.

We're dealing with mostly attorneys here, Pero. :( It wii be denigrated as being "undignified to the office." This isn't NASCAR, so it will never see the light of day, IMO!
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

The funny part will be the look on all the Progressives' faces when they see that most of their reps are wearing the same logos as those evil republican racists.

Oh I am sure. When it comes to full disclosure, the moral of the story is to trust NASCAR drivers a heck of a lot more than any politician. They are a lot more honest too.

****ing Nazi pigs.

I believe they are a hate group

whats the difference between neo nazis/kkk and westboroo....

That is not true.

"It is fair to conclude, then, that the 1938 Nazi gun laws represented a slight relaxation of gun control, at least with regard to general gun acquisition, transfer, and carrying. To be sure, the Nazis were intent on killing Jewish persons and used the gun laws and regulations to further the genocide. But it appears that the Nazis aspired to a certain relaxation of gun laws for the "ordinary" or "law-abiding" German citizens... Frick and Hitler intended to liberalize gun control laws.... But if forced to, I would have to conclude, at least preliminarily from this straightforward exercise in statutory
interpretation, that the Nazis favored less gun control for the "trustworthy" German citizen than the predecessor Weimar Republic, while disarming the Jewish population and engaging in genocide."

A politician can't control who donates to them. They CAN, however, control who they become beholden too.

I'd rather see corporations publish lists of who they donate to, and how much.

So much for that ol' 4th Amendment.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

The Democrats will NEVER go for this...LOL!

Neither will the republicans. Dont act like they are the innocent either...

Democrats get more corporate money than Republicans.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

But, still more. Thank you for proving my point, for me.

Your welcome :2razz:
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

hey, great idea. i just have to wonder who godaddy is going to sponsor considering there are no hotties for them to slap their logo on in congress.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

How about a petition that mandates the death penalty for ethics violations.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

So much for that ol' 4th Amendment.

I didn't say I wanted it mandated by law. And I didn't say I wanted it done by force.

:lamoI can get behind 100%. Show the world who bought your campaign for you and lets see who you probably have best interests in mind for.

Next youll be suggesting we make Jewish people wear stars on their shirts.

Edit, sorry, I see someone already pointed out how fascist this proposal is to agree with.
 
Re: Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donor

This petition is meaningless and nothing but a waste of time for congress to even address it. Is this really what politics has come to?

Now thats quite the strawman.

Uhhh actually the economic policy of fascism is corporatism where corporations and gov are in bed with each other, and with corporate dominance of congress is actually pretty corporatist (fascist). This proposal seems the opposite of fascism, actually seems more transparent and open government.

Requiring people to expose who they support politically in order to control power is fascist.

Or as wikipedia defines it "considers itself in a state of war against political adversaries and aims at conquering a monopoly of political power by using terror, parliamentary politics, and deals with leading groups, to create a new regime that destroys parliamentary democracy;"

Businesses supporting citizens for political office is free speech. Protecting the privacy of those who support polticial figures or movements is a worthy goal.

How is this controlling power?
Sounds like to me you have no idea what fascism is.
This is the opposite of fascism. This is open government. If this is considered fascism then i guess this website is "fascist" because it shows where contributions came from John Boehner: Campaign Finance/Money - Summary - Representative 2012 | OpenSecrets
Is that fascist?

This petition is doing any of that how?
Are you living in a dream world or something?

Buying democracy is a "worthy goal" :shock:

Youre assuming any money given to a candidate is buying their support. And then trying to terrorize those who do so by removing the privacy associated with personal beleifs. And the only reason you are doing so is to fight against those who disagree with you. Which is why you target corporations and not unions. Hence fascism. Or better yet, rules for radicals.

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon
“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Why company or person X gives $80,000 or up to $500,000 or even $1 million i think they want a little something in return...

And then trying to terrorize those who do so by removing the privacy associated with personal beleifs. And the only reason you are doing so is to fight against those who disagree with you. Which is why you target corporations and not unions.
Actually unions fall under this proposal.

Hence fascism. Or better yet, rules for radicals.
:doh
Look up what fascism is! This isnt fascism! This is called "open government"! Dear god!
