[westend1]

Republicans should have called their bluff.

You lack serious reading comprehension skills.

I've said a MILLION times I'm moderate and don't care for EITHER party. I don't post anti democrat articles BECAUSE THERES A THOUSAND TOPICS ON IT ALREADY.

You're incapable of having a rationale discussion on this topic because your feelings are hurt.

No - ECO you are on the other side of the same coin that you say you hate. With you its all Republicans bad Republicans suck.  And if you can't see that fact then you are truly blind.  But I'm done with the back and forth.  I'l debate with someone that actually want to exchange ideas and thought.  I won't be responding to trolls.

It's called hedging your bets. Obviously Obama was going to win (maybe not so obvious on here) , so they threw money at him to get on his good side.
 

 

Yeah, and I'm sure the Democrats were just so hesitant to take those checks.

[EnlightenedChosenOne]

Which is why I'm against ANY of this political donation nonsense.

Yeah, and I'm sure the Democrats were just so hesitant to take those checks.

[EnlightenedChosenOne]

Koch brothers wouldn't allow that.

Republicans should have called their bluff.

[EnlightenedChosenOne]

I never said democrats weren't.

Will you and others please stop trying to corner me I to a position or stance I don't even hold? It gets old.

In fact, I think people who blindly vote democrat OR republicans are idiots and are the problem with this country.
 

And its so easy to see... for those that don't have blinders on.  Both sides are corrupt.

Profanity is a no no on this site.

Bearbryant - I posted an anti democrat thread earlier.

Oh wow what a new and refreshing topic!

[EnlightenedChosenOne]

Sure, but you know I'm right.

Profanity is a no no on this site.

Just came in and my take is that "enlightened" has her underpants all in a wad.  When one is losing they must resort to name calling and cursing? 

[piratefan]

Nice knowing you Enlightened one.. As a baseball umpire say's " your outta here"!

If everyone would completely ignore the trolls, they might just eventually become bored and go away.

As long as the post is against Obama, anything can be said. No facts needed.

I step away and miss everything :angry:

You were not here during the Bush administration........Same was done to him.....

 

 

[BearBryant]

I'm done responding to ECO.. No trolls for me!  LOL  

 

And tobie I respect your opinion but the same can be said for the left in regards to their counterparts.

Pretty sure that won't be a problem.....at least for a while

What you say when you come on here to defend yourself ^^^^^ and the sides you choose when getting down to the nitty gritty of issues shows the hipocracy of your statement!!

[westend1]

I tried to give ECO a chance to edit before the mods got to him.    Oh well.

[77]

the politicians are the ones accepting the money they are the ones who should be done away with! Vote em all out both sides! On my job if I accept a bribe I'am the one that loses my job not the one offering!

I noticed that.....

 

At times he seemed reasonable, but other times not so much.....

It's only trolling because it isn't another anti obama hate thread.

Business as usual on setxsports.com . People on this board have literally nothing else to contribute besides "OBAMA BAD, OBAMA SUK".

they only call it trolling when they dont have a legitimate answer to a question or when they try to change a narrative of a political situation, and intelligent people dont believe it.

[baddog]

I would rather see big business influence votes and legislation than the do nothing ( you owe me a living ) crowd.

You want a legitimate answer?
 

The Supreme Court said that limiting how much you can donate to a political campaign is an unconstitutional violation of the right to freedom of speech. The Democrats don't like that ruling and want to not create a new law (which would also violate our constitutional rights) but to change the Constitution and limit free speech when it comes to politics. The Democrats say yes to changing the Constitution and limiting free speech when it comes to elections and the Republicans say no. 

 

Ohhhh.... but let's not talk about free speech, let's call it what it has been called in this thread, bribery.

 

If you call it legal bribery as the title of the thread suggests, is less money just "a little bribery"? If you offer a cop $500 to drop a citation it would be a bribe but if you only offer him $250, it isn't? That is what the campaign finance laws say. You can donate to someone (bribe by the claim of this thread) and it is perfectly okay but you can only bribe to a certain extent. Tell me where that makes sense. The Dems don't mind donations and sure aren't turning down any money.... they only mind if you get more than they do. So it is okay to bribe people, just keep the bribing "under control".

 

There have been several such First Amendment cases that have thrown out campaign finance laws and in the most recent case (2014), the law (BCRA) allowed the "bribery"..... but you had to stop it 60 days before the election. Again, tell me where that makes any sense. Yes, you can put your money in electronic (television, radio, etc.) campaigning but you can't do it right at the end. Apparently the Dems think that bribery is perfectly okay to bribe 61 days out from an election but don't do it inside of 60 days.   And for that, they want to change the Constitution.

Very well stated

Don't expect a formulated response TVC. She is looking for something to google.
