A Republican US lawmaker vying for President Barack Obama's old Senate seat said Monday he would return campaign donations from Goldman Sachs amid fraud charges against the Wall Street titan.
b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ut how could that be? I thought GS was an eeeeeevil capitalist corporation?
GS actually operates in a twilight zone of pseudo-capitalism, taking profits during the good times and having taxpayers absorb its loses in the bad. No surprise they're in the Dem's pockets.
Who did this former Treasury Secretary work for before becoming Treasury Secretary? From where did this former Treasury Secretary get his minions to work for him at the Department of the Treasury?
What does that have to do with the FACT that obama took more from GS than any other candidate and the democrats as a party have taken more from GS and their employees?
Hard to tell from any of your posts, but I wonder if GS didn't simply slant its donations toward Obama simply because it was so obvious that he was going to win? That sort of thing has been known to influence some folks in the past...
I didn't know "conservatives" had an issue with monetary contributions towards election campaigns, that it affects political decisions. That makes me wonder why repubs are opposed to fraud investigation into GS.

Did you take a look at the links...going BACK many years?
GS owns the democrats.

We can see you're not bothered by this, however, we know with absolute certainty what your response would be if this were Bush or McCain.
Don't we have enough things to worry about? If politicians gave all of the campaign contributions back, from people and companies that break the law, there would be about 100 dollars in campaign contributions every year.
