California Democratic Party among Solyndra’s creditors
Washington Times ^ | 9/25/11 | Jim McElhatton

Posted on 09/25/2011 9:22:33 PM PDT by Nachum

Out of the hundreds of out-of-work employees, vendors, investors and other creditors in the bankruptcy of government-backed solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC, one name stands out: the California Democratic Party.

Why California Democrats would be creditor to a company that received more than a half-billion dollars in federal loans to build a solar-panel plant isn’t clear. Even party officials say they’re not sure.

The California Democratic Party’s communications director, Tenoch Flores, said the organization was not owed “any funds in any form” by the California-based company. He said he was unclear why the party would be listed as a creditor in Solyndra’s bankruptcy filing.

According to campaign-finance records, Solyndra donated $7,500 to the California Democratic Party in October 2010. It’s legal in California for corporations to make donations. But that doesn’t explain why the company would identify the Democratic Party as a creditor in its bankruptcy filing a year later.

A Solyndra spokesman did not respond to messages seeking more details about the filing.

Oh, I have little doubt that you are right about it. The problem is that there is nothing we can do about it.

Not to worry... Sheriff Joe's looking into it.

This stuff is never a coincidence.

I'm going 'hmmm', and 'hmmmmmm'. All the Solyndra officials took the 5th at the (House or Senate?) hearings.
Half a Billion $ is missing.
Solyndra owes money to the CA Dem Party???
Calif. politicians get ripped of by their accountants for millions.
I wonder if Kinde Durkee, the bean counter, will spill the beans before some subcommittee.
This just might be the event that causes the burning mansion of Dem corruption to sigh and cave in with a final roar.
Get the popcorn ready, this could be fun to watch.

I don't believe in coincidences either.

Yeah, I guess this is just another one of those “Big Effing Deals.”

>>>the Democratic Party as a creditor in its bankruptcy filing a year later.

Maybe Solyndra just had to list the Democrats as a VENDOR (because of their donation showing up in their accounting system). That is somewhat humorous because it gives auditors an idea of how to pursue the trail of honey.

Actually I doubt the press really understands exactly what’s going on. If they can’t distill things down to a biased sound bite or clever one liner, they just peck around like a bunch of chickens till someone explains it to them in really simple terms. These are the same english/polisci/sociology majors from college that we knew would never get a job cause they were disconnected from reality. Rigorous study was not their forte.

When it comes to repaying creditors, for the democrats it’s: Party First, Country Last.

I wouldn’t go that far. Some of them might be better prepared than some elected officials or any old Joe off the street, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not living in another world, shuttling between Manhattan, Boston, and Georgetown. But yes, they like sound bites and polls just as much as the politicians do.

Then again, if hustlers like Sharpton and infamous ex-politicians can get career shortcuts, you may be right. The problem is that they’re one big clique, and it eventually will be their downfall.

This explains why Solyndra’s bondholders get paid first in case of bankruptcy. This is definitely a scam to put money into Dem coffers.

You said it first. I’m glad you did, I was thinking the same thing. I’m going to bookmark this post for future reflection. This could be the “Mr. Butterfield, were you aware of the existence of any listening devices in the Oval Office of the President?” moment for zero.

With the recent machinations of — what’s his face? a noted big money investor — to gain preferred creditor status in the upcoming Solyndra bankruptcy proceedings, doesn’t that leave these Rats in the lurch?

I mean, no honor among thieves. How low can a Rat get.

I’ve wondered how all this stimulus money hasn’t created any jobs. It all gets funnelled to political organizations.

If you look closely anywhere you’ll probably see at least some of this.

You are absolutely correct. We visited my in-laws this last weekend. They are old-school Republicans, but still get most of their news from old media. They haven’t heard a thing about Solyndra.

I will be found in the near future that almost every aspect of Obamas “stimulus” was nothing more than a flagrant theft of money to be channeled back into unions sympathetic and supportive of socialism.

Socialism, communism, fascism, marxism, take your pick democrats as that is what they are using to prop them up, to fund their agendas, to keep their mantras of lies, hate and elite control over the dumb’ed cattle of America.
