Well now. This is funny.

[Smackie Chan]

It's neither funny nor unusual. Big business ALWAYS greases the palms of both parties. The $$ spends regardless of its source.

Well we KNEW Republicans would do this, but DEMOCRATS? Screwy! Help us out here, brother!

HuffPost? You getting your news from radical lib publications now?

One guy out of nine took a big payment--$117,000--from fossil fuel organizations. He sucks. The rest accepted $10k. That's as much as the value of shutyomouth's house.

Sorry if I'm not outraged at this non-story.

This is small potatoes. You know that.

If it was criminal to accept campaign donations from fossil fuel companies the entire Republican Congressional cadre would be in jail.

Do you actually have a point?

Thanks, Ricky Bobby.

[FiatLux]

Does anyone have a link to Ricky Bobby's telephone interview with Smackie Garcia ???

I needed a translator for every 2nd or 3rd word from Ricky Bobby.


I guess I'm still paying for his note on his trailer park and his food stamps.

Someone do Spray a favor and TROTS this piece of shit. Not one of his better efforts.

What part of “I thought Democrats were above this?” didn’t you get?

Why can’t you just admit they all do it, as opposed to only thinking that Republicans do it?


Shit & Needles - kindly fuck off somewhere else. The grown ups are in this thread.

Of course they all do it. And there are plenty of corporations that contribute to both parties. But to you it’s “criminal” for dems to take corporate money but apparently OK for your lord and master Republicans. Double standard much?

Unfortunately, it’s how the system works and will continue work until there’s meaningful campaign finance reform. Are you for that (...ahem...Citizens United...ahem...). Are you in favor of campaign finance reform?
Remember...it’s all about free speech.

[Mikey]

OK, WHATABOUT this...you’re a fucking hypocrite.

[Mikey]

Nice white flag.

[Left Seater]

There certainly isn’t anything criminal about take big oil money on the part of Dems. It sure is hypocritical what when they want to sue big oil for all kinds of things.

But hey, hypocritical is what the left does.

[Mikey]

Wow...two white flags in the same thread. You're starting to outdo even yourself, Melty.

You want to link us up to people who took oil$ and also sued them?

[Left Seater]

Try to keep up. Individual legislators don’t have to sue when State AGs are suing for the whole party.

[Kierland]

So in other words you made it up.

[Mikey]

Try to keep up. Individual legislators don’t have to sue when State AGs are suing for the whole party.

The original post was about members of the House Climate Panel accepting campaign donations from the fossil fuel industry.

That has absolutely nothing to do with any state Attorneys General. You're almost as good as Melty at changing the subject when the original claim isn't working out for you.

Either that, or you really need to bone up on how government works.

[Left Seater]

And members of the HOUSE Climate Panel, aren’t individual legislators?

Again there is no need for Individual House Members to sue, when states are doing it.
