We have faced far more difficult challenges than this current SCOTUS. We will survive, and we will prosper. Hell, eight years of Bush hasn't killed us. Need I say more? It's OK for Democrats to bribe each other with taxpayer money, but not OK for both Democrats and Republicans to recieve corporate money. Liberal thinking is quite strange. When a multinational based in China, the communist one, decides to take an interest in our elections, tell me again how strange Liberal thinking is. |

Didn't someone here mention the 18% tariff paid on our exports to China and the zero percent tariff paid on their imports? Do you think Democrats aren't affected by money? LOL -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

LOL There are import tariffs, but they are based on the commodity. There have been a litany of anti-dumping suits reviewed by the DOC that have lead to these tariffs. However, I'm sure most Chinese imports do have a 0% tariff. These tariffs result in higher prices for the products we buy but they also help protect jobs in North America via NAFTA. |

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. LMAO - typical liberal-democrat bull****. |

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. |
