Another lie.

I heard you the third time.

Political donations essentially buy lobbyists access to a politician, they do not guarantee funding or a line item in favor of your business.

Its legal, and done all the time. This is why many republicans find socialism so intoxicating and have difficulty acting against it.

Some neo-conservatives have written about the subject calling it "corporatism".

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=3054

An excerpt.

The economic Left likes corporatism for three reasons:

It satisfies its lust for power.

It makes possible attempts to redistribute income.

It enables them to practice #2 while remaining personally affluent.

The economic Right likes corporatism for three different reasons:

It enables them to realize capitalist profits while unloading some of the costs and risks onto the state.

The ability to intertwine government and business enables them to shape government policy to their liking.

They believe the corporatist state can deliver social peace and minimize costly disruptions.

--------------------- But you're not interested in debating this. You will simply sit there and say the word Liar,Liar,Liar over and over.

1. When I met him he was helping a company exclude itself from burdensome regulation in exchange for a fund raiser.

2. Its legal, and done all the time.

Another lie. You described an illegal act.

Roscoe is the resident FedGov cheerleader, and as you can see, a pretty shallow braintrust. He can be amusing, but never fails to become redundant and tiresome. One or two word posts try to pass as intelligent debate.

He could be a Fed cop of some sort. His lack of original thought and blind allegiance makes him a good candidate. My money says he is just a wanna-be. He may own a police scanner so he can enhance his Walter Mitty existance.

Just don't expect anything like thoughtful discourd from him.

BTW, despite the likes of Roscoe, I voted for Allard today because I really despise Strickland.
