Is it going to select candidates that a) will appease their membership so they continue to give it money or b) send money to those who don't represent its members interests, including the foreign nationals.

Anyone who passed the 6th grade should figure it out themselves, but some people are slow.

Anyone who doesn't see it and still votes along their contribution lines (especially if their job is at risk by foreign competition) needs a severe mocking. I know I am laughing to the point of crying all the way to the bank. Since mine is not, I invest very heavily globally, and I benefit from cheaper goods made pretty well anywhere from the same stuff. I benefit no matter who wins.

Go America, where you can convince the dumb to vote against their own interests. It's a comedic goldmine.
That's why its such a bad deal that the current law shields the donors--it all needs to be out in the open. What the Chamber specifically is doing may not be illegal AT ALL under the current law, but people have the right to know what's going on, and who's paying for it.

Well... the Fed is actually made up of European Banks...

The government is heavily in debted to foreigners alos. Who do you think buys those treasuries. But if anyone has proof of foreign governament giving campaign funds to either party; I suggest they contact the justice dept because that is illegal. It what happened when Gore spoke to the Chinese during Clinton presidency that raised such a uproar.But no one has made such a acusation to justice vene the presdient. I fact there is proof of nothign as the media has shown in its quetioning of Axlerod who had nne on the anti- chambers blog.It was a blod=g and nothing else really.

my beef with soros is in how he made his money. i have no issue with people making money in any of the markets, but when you go all out to make money, and collapse a countries currency at the same time, that is morally wrong.

i intentionally chopped this quote because this is the main reason clinton was impeached. a lie under oath is in fact a crime in all 50 states, and at the federal level as well. was it enough to get him kicked out of office? no, and i didnt want him out of office either(i did not want president al gore). however it was also enough for the BAR association to revoke clintons license to practice law. in the end i believe the right thing was done.

Guess that theory got blown out of the water fast.

Bush lied? No. The Democrats' investigative report conclusively states otherwise.

You've been suckered by a false and manipulative Dem meme.
in addition, there were many democrats making the same claims bush did as much as tow years BEFORE bush was president.

there is actually good reason for the donor shield laws. imagine if nixon had gotten a hold of a lost of large donors to the campaigns of his opponents, what do you think would have happened? or if FDR got a hold of the lists? or wilson? and even obama? i can tell you that those large donors would be facing legal issues, and irs issues(yes i know the irs wasnt around in wilsons day, doesnt matter wilson would have found a way to retaliate in some manner).

Republicans are suing AZ for enforcing illegal immigration laws?

Republicans set up sanctuary cities and give illegals driver's licenses?

KEEP FOREIGN INTERESTS OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT



You know the shirt's getting deep when liberals whine the LSM isn't on their side.


"the Chamber’s chief lobbyist Bruce Josten, who has been spoon-feeding much of the media distortions about our report"

"the controversy over the Chamber of Commerce financing may say more about the Washington spin cycle — where an Internet blog posting can be quickly picked up by like-minded groups and become political fodder for the president himself — than it does about the vagaries of campaign finance."

So the NYT is in bed with the Republicans?





And who is BO to sling this mud anyway?


"Biskup, who had scores of Obama contributions attributed to her, said in an interview that she never donated to the candidate. "That's an error," she said. Moreover, she added, her credit card was never billed for the donations, meaning someone appropriated her name and made the contributions with another card."
