For some reason, THIS has the Republicans up in arms!

Funny how Bush can raise 1.5 Million in one night at a high priced "fund raiser" yet this has the Republicans outraged.

My favorite line: WHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!

Yeah, and the insurance lobby and oil companies haven't purchased the Republican party.

You'll excuse me while I dance in joy.

Do your little happy dance. Your party is just the same as the rest. They all bow down to special interests that will give them money. Of course you leftists all seem to think that is not the case. Soros sounds like an idiot in that article.

Wasn't Soros convicted of insider trading less than a year ago? :rolleyes:

ADM:
-pled guilty to one of the most massive antitrust crimes and paid a $100 million fine.

-Donated to the Republican Party $1.7 Million.

Pfizer:
-currently in the middle of a lawsuit because they illegally tested their drugs on Nigerian children.

-Donated to the Republican Party $1.1 Million.

Chevron:
-fined over $300,000 dollars for 52 air quality violations between 1998 and May 2003

-Plead guilty to 65 violations of the Clean Water Act and paid $8 million in fines, for illegal discharges from the company's offshore oil and gas production platform "Grace" off the California Coast.

-Chevron has paid more than $70 million in fines, settlements, and penalties since 1980, and is a PRP for more Superfund sites than any other oil company.

-Donated to the Republican Party $875,000

Enron:
-too many crimes to list

-donated $113,800 to Bush directly, and donated $1,138,990 to the RNC

Arthur Anderson:
-Enron accounting firm

-donated $145,650 to the Bush campaign.

Vinson & Elkins:
-Enron lawyers

-Donated $202,850 to the Bush campaign.

So, Wilmac, you are justifying bad behavior with more bad behavior?

Nope, just introducing the pot to the kettle.

I believe he was just countering your "Soros convicted of insider trading less than a year ago" statement. Why can't anyone show evidence against conservatives, in this case a rebuttal, without snide comments from yourself?

Preach on, Brother Sean.

Preach on? The point is all of the parties take money from anyone who will give it to them.

Why did he feel the need to counter? It is true. So, what exactly, is he countering? Where was the rebuttal? Are you trying to say he wasnt convicted? I dont deny anything that Wilmac wrote, and Wilmac would discredit Bush and the republicans on the same merits. So just because he is against Bush it is ok? I dont get you people sometimes.

If the guy came out and said he was going to bring down the Democrat of choice, you would all be up in arms about how another rich guy is supporting Bush, and then bring up that he was found guilty of insider trading.

So, in this case, Wilmac didnt rebut anyone. :rolleyes:

Exactly my point! I was just trying to point out that just because he was involved in insider trading, that doesn't make the Republicans blameless. I was just introducing the pot to the kettle, as I said before. :rolleyes:

Because the underlying theme of your reply to me, with its rolling eyes, was that Soros was dirty and so were the Democrats for taking his money.

I was just pointing out that the Republicans are just as dirty. Kettle? Pot?

As I said, justifying bad behavior with more bad behavior. And another thing, I have never once rejoiced in the fact that Bush and the republicans are involved with the companies you mentioned. But you seemed to rejoice (dance for joy was how you said it?)in your earlier post about the dems recieving money from this guy. :rolleyes:

Ditto. I'll never allow myself to be sucked into the "Collective".

Yup! If it's ok for the Republicans, then it's ok for the Democrats.

Yet another retarded comment. You liberals always act so high and mighty about not dealing with special interests. It is quite comical really. The Dems bow down to more special interests than anyone. The recent shananigans in CA by Davis illustrated that point very well. Pot, kettle? :rolleyes:

Arrr....I be done with ye.

OK.
