GG Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Love the pecking order. $500K - Belgium & Switzerland. $4k, ah, oh, uhm... - Romania (Bulgaria must have been already taken) Do admit $100k for the Belize gig was a bargain of the election.

pBills Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I guess it's good that they didn't say they were going for change: McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON -- Among the 17 senators who voted against allowing the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco are some of the top recipients of campaign contributions from the tobacco industry, which has donated millions of dollars to lawmakers in the past several campaign cycles. Over the course of his nearly quarter-century Senate career, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who hails from the tobacco-rich state of Kentucky, has received $419,025 from the tobacco industry, more than any other member of Congress, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that analyzes the influence of money on politics and policy. North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, who led the opposition to the bill, is the second-highest recipient and netted $359,100 from tobacco-related political action committees and individual contributions. His state is the nation's largest tobacco grower and is home to R.J. Reynolds, the nation's second-largest tobacco manufacturing company, which contributed $196,850 to Burr's campaigns. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the ranking Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee, is the third-highest recipient with $228,700. Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning, who's up for re-election next year and is considered the most vulnerable Senate Republican, ranks eighth with $194,166. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 hmm I wonder who it was that said? : "The stakes are too high and the challenges too great to play the same old Washington games with the same old Washington players" or this gem : "Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. And that's what we have to change first." or how could we ever forget this one? : "new kind of politics." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So? It's funny how much fake outrage you all can stir up. Thank you! The only way this is outrageous is if you can show me something that everything single president in the last 100 years hasn't done exactly this or likely even worse. You might as well make a thread complaining that Obama breaths oxygen. It would be just as pertinent as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply saying it's funny how some people can be so upset about what Obama does something questionable but their not upset about the actions of others. I call them hypocrites.
