When a multinational based in China, the communist one, decides to take
an interest in our elections, tell me again how strange Liberal

So? Are you now imposing who can bribe who? You mean only democrats
can accept bribes?

I guess that must be it. I'm an American, and I have this funny idea,
America should be run by Americans. We don't need any help from Chinese
communists to run it, or Canadians, for that matter.

Soros couldn't take money from the Chinese? Could Chinese individuals
not make contributions? You obviously don't like the ruling, so you're
making up ridiculous reasons to be against it.

Talk about a strawman.



Talk about not thinking! Soros (or Gates or whomever) would never have the
financial resources compared to a multi-billion dollar company. I believe
you have to be a US citizen to make campaign contributions, so Chinese
individuals could not make contributions.

Want to make a bet on that? Bet I could legally contribute to Obama or
Palin, hell, why not both! So if either wins, I win!

Recipes:

Open up a US corporation, any LLC will do. From there direct a
donation. Foreign owned, but a US corporation. That simple. A US
corporation is a US entity.

And if that isn't good enough, I am sure there are plenty of Americans
that would do it for a fee.

In fact, bet I could write a $1000 cheque from an American address and
bank account and get both the Dem or GOP to cash it. I really doubt all
the cheques are checked. I can even provide a valid SSN if needed.

And there is always cash in a brief case. There is a reason why
government does not make everything plastic, they too want cash under
the table.

Just another unenforcable law. But not that I recommend trying it.
