Goldman Sachs campaign cash: Risky?

These clowns (Democrats) think the american public are fools and morons and we will actually fall for their staged circus (hearings). Goldman donated most of it's money to Democrats (including $1 million that Obama refuses to give back), has special favors and the most to gain from the legislation passing, supports the legislation and all this crap aimed at Goldman comes after the CEO visited the White House four times and the liberal media refuses to call this what it is, a scam. I'm glad the Republicans are standng up to the Democratic thugs and the longer they drag this out the better.

This is exactly why PAC & corporations should *not* be considered individuals for the purposes of campaign donations. Even if there isn't any thing improper going on, it certainly gives the appearance of "give enough money and skip going to jail". There's even a t-shirt that addresses it - http://www.despair.com/getoutofjafr.html

Hey, Dave, you're not one of those idiots, you speak so highly of, are you !!? If you aren't, how about getting the facts straight, or is that out of your reach. All political parties received political contributions from The Weasels of Wall Street and thanks to the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers' parenthood of the Gramm-Leach-Blily Act of 1999, greed is once again, unleashed and out of control, thanks to the good, old Obstructionists in our Senate !! As to presenting the picture accurately, I see that, that is also out of your reach, be it intellectually or morally. President Obama's campaign received the campaign contributions. I know it allows you to distort, insinuate and lie about who received what, but please, try to present a more accurate picture of what happened. You never know, you may be able to sway a voter, to see it the way, you would like them to see it. It is probably, not likely, but you can still strive for fairness, for its own sake !! I know that maybe asking way too much of you, but I tried, in any case.

"Goldman Sachs and its employees have put at least $694,000 into the campaigns of federal candidates in the 2010 election cycle - that money flowing by a better than two-to-one margin to the Democratic Party, the one in control of Congress."

I find the Goldman Sachs testimony and some of the Senators such as Carl Levin trying to act cute with his use of the"S" word disgusting. Carl, you are Chairman of a U.S. Senate Committee and not in a bar room discussion on finance. What I find interesting is that Goldman Sachs and employees have contributed heavily to the Democrats. But many posts on this story in the TRIBUNE, especially by such people as HHH, Roger Morris and Don Fitzgerald to name a few are so upset about Republicans taking money but ignore the Democrats who have taken Goldman Sachs contributions. In the 2007-2008 election cycle Barack Obama received almost a Million Dollars from Goldman Sachs alone, and almost 75% of Goldman Sachs political contributions went to Democrats. And in the 2010 election cycle it is being reported that Goldman Sachs and its employees have contributed at least $694,000 so far and by a 2 to 1 margin that money has gone to Democrats. I must be missing something here but it seems that Democrats are receiving most of the political contributions from Wall Street. And most of the Democrats, including the President, have not returned any of this tainted money. To HHH, Roger Morris and Don Fitzgerald, I am confused. You all seem to get so upset that Republicans have received campaign contributions from Wall Street but seem to have not heard or are blinded by your highly partisan and narrow minded view of all this. The Democrats and the President, not the Republicans, seem to be getting most of the large sums of Wall Street campaign contributions. HHH, Roger Morris, Don Fitzgerald, can you explain whats going on here. Most of out here are waiting for your response to all this.

Roger, you seem to be blinded by partisan politics and do not seem to have a clue on whats going on. Although the Democratic and Republican Parties have done good things, they have also done a good job at messing things up too. You need to wake up and smell the coffee. You are only seeing one narrow view of whats actually going on. To blame all the troubles of the country on the Republicans is complete Nonsense just as it would be to blame the Democrats for all the problems.

Since campaign contributions started being recorded in the 1990s, Goldman Sachs has given twice as much to Democrats as to Republicans. In the 2008 election cycle, that ratio was 3-1 Dem.
What this means is, whether Congress or the White House is Republican or Democratic, Goldman Sachs has been the Democrat's piggy bank.

There you go again, with that Republican-Libertarian-T.Bagger fact book !! Since the 1990s Goldman Sachs has derivatives it wants to sell you, at rock bottom prices and they say, you will double your investment in 10 years. Now, you know their word is as good as gold, as in Goldman Sachs, " The Aw Shucks Gang ", that didn't know anything, at anytime, during the meltdown !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

FITZ,

Derivatives didn't have anything to do with causing the recession. The finanical product that the derivatives were based upon did - subpprime mortgages. If you have been paying attention, you know who caused the flurry of sub-prime mortgages.

Not only were "educated" by CPS, you were probably near the bottom of your class.

Don't stop there, " genius ", I never graduated from high school. To make matters worse, I only attended one year of high school, before I volunteered for the service, USAF !! Don't worry, " magma cum loudly ", I did get my G.E.D !! That should square everything with the " thought police ", because sometimes I am mistaken for an " alien ". I better get my State-Issued ID card and start wearing my flag-lapel pin, you know us Irish-Americans are often mistaken for " undocumented aliens ". I wonder if those first, Irish, indentured slaves/criminals had the proper papers ? I bet they didn't. Do you think the present day " illegal alien " agents, will ask us, for our Papers !!?
You just can't find any cheap labor, any more, said those, oh, so patriotic Corporations, with our Free Speech !!!
Ah, America, you are letting the morons, the imbeciles and the mentally challenged, dictate the course of our good country !! Up until now, it hasn't served us well, at all !! Let's let some sound-minded citizens govern our country for a while, like President Obama and Vice-President Biden. They have done an exceptional job, so far !! Unless you are a dunderhead and can't see the Bush for the Cheney !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

FITZ,

I think your service to society peaked whne you volunteered for the USAF.

Speaking of papers FITZ, do you remember when Ohio gov't employee's went thru the records of Joe the Plummer to discredit him? A misuse of gov't powers on an American citizen by a democrat.

When you enter this country at an official border crossing, are you asked if you are an American citizen? If you are asked to provide proof, do you have to?
