ALL of our politicians are bought and paid for. We should be able to at least admit that much. I actually think every politician should be required to wear the brand of their particular corporate sponsor.

And, yes, many Congressmen and Senators are now professional lobbyists. Weird.

They have engaged in protectionist trade pacts like to TPP to make sure they stay on top while making the workers compete with people from poorer countries.

When are people going to waken up and realize that Multinational Corporations are the ones running our government and are responsible for the loss of freedoms we are experiencing, the increasing police state and the economic instabilities that are happening in order to build their Corporate Globalist utopia?
Never. Racial division works great to distract people from recognizing they're being robbed.

You left out major donations that differentiate our two political parties. Labor unions from carpenters, electrical workers, teachers, food workers, ex.ex. give $100's of millions of dollars to democrats (and they only give republicans about 5% of their money.)
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php

These workers unions represent regular workers and that's why democrats support things like high worker wages, middle class tax cuts, low interest student loans, unemployment benefits, low credit card interest rates, and healthcare for all. And since republicans only get money from large corporations (republicans only support large corporations.)

2 things. I see you cherry picked your "examples" and I DON'T see a LOT of unions donations which is one reason your "source" Open Secrets has NO credibility due to its obvious and open bias.

A different list from yours

Another list

Now , I am NOT saying either of these sources are biased but, I AM saying they include a lot more then your list.

The Huff Post, Mother Jones as a source, what a laugh.

It is no wonder so many don't find what you say credible.

Open Secrets is not partisan. They list the the donations to both "teams" that run the fascist regime in DC.

The OP had nothing to do with team flag waving but the corruption between Multinationals and our government.

I guess you are in the clear if you want to say all Multinational Corporations and Banks are Leftist but you would be wrong and a lot of Crony Capitalists would agree as well.

I know republicans at Fox news and Rush radio say bad things about the Huff Post and Mother Jones, but can you explain how those sources are not credible?


The laughable thing is (the corporate controlled) Fox/Rush have literally become the republicans cult leaders and real life Gods.

Example, NASA says man made global warming is most likely happening. And Fox news and Rush radio say "global warming is a hoax."
http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Consensus

Who do republicans trust in matters of science? Republicans trust the cult leader Rush Limbaugh more than NASA in matters of science.


Example #2, The Bible says to help the poor and heal the sick. And Fox/Rush says to oppose welfare, oppose high min wages, and oppose healthcare for all.

Who do republicans follow in matters of the poor and sick? Republicans follow Fox/Rush in matters of the poor and sick (and totally ignore God and the Bible.)

No one but brainwashed leftists call HuffPo and Mother Jones "credible". I once cited Mother Jones for a paper, but it was only because I was completely destroying their argument, which had something to do with abolishing the electoral college because they were butt hurt that Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election.
