Don't be snookered again. How do you really know who you are voting for in this presidential election, like all of ther others? Campaign rhetoric? Promises (from a politician?) The mainstream (corporate) media? Get real. It's money people. Always has been, always will be.
Who's giving the money and who's getting it?
Let's see the top 5 campaign contributors for the candidates this year:
Obama: (1) Univ of California; (2) Microsoft; (3) Google; (4) Harvard; (5) United States Government
Romney: (1) Goldman Sachs (interestingly, Goldman was Obama's #2 in 2008); (2) Bank of America; (3) JP Morgan; (4) Microsoft; (5) Credit Suisse
Now, please tell me where do the candidates' real allegiances lie? Us or them?
By comparison, let's look at the top 5 campaign contributors for that alleged radical weirdo isolationist candidate Ron Paul (really the liberty loving, sound money, dismantle the welfare/warfare state candidate): (1) United States Army; (2) United States Air Force; (3) United States Navy; (4) Google; (5) United States Department of Defense.
Quite a contrast don't you think. Unfortunately, we are again stuck with their choices of candidates, not ours.

The U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Department of Defense can contribute to the political campaigns of those running for office?

Yes. Our men and women in uniform have the same political (free) speech rights as we and corporations do.

Another Paul cult member out to help OBAMA as much as he can.
Ron Paul LOST and will RETIRE for good Dec 31, 2012.
Ron Paul has NO chance of winning one single state, not one.
Every PROTEST VOTE helps Obama.
For the last 9 months on the FAR LEFT web sites they have been telling their members to go out to the different web sites and spread the word to get people to vote for Ron Paul or write Ron Paul in to help Obama.
In 2008 between 10 and 17 MILLION Conservatives did NOT vote because it was between Obama and McCain. THIS is one thing Obama and his supporters are counting on, they are also counting on most of them to write in Ron Paul giving Obama the victory!!!!!
Romney was NOT my first pick but my NUMBER ONE disire is to get Obama out of the White House. Voting for Ron Paul will NOT do it.

The "Whens"...
When’s
WHEN
I FINISHED READING THIS I GOT SHORT OF
BREATH….
Looking
back thru the past 4 years, many "Whens" pop up. Read them all to

country….

matter.

troops early-on when the Field Commanders said they were necessary to
win, people said it didn't matter.
WHEN - he started spending us
into a debt that was so big we could not pay it off, people said it
didn't matter.
WHEN - he took a huge spending bill under the
guise of stimulus and used it to pay off organizations, unions, and
individuals that got him elected, people said it didn't
matter.

banks, etc., people said it didn't matter.

that he was raised a Muslim, was educated as a Muslim, and is still a
Muslim, people said it didn't matter.
WHEN
- he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in
the United
States through Cap and Trade, people
said it didn't matter.
WHEN
-
he
finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist
State , people woke
up--- but it was too late. Add these up one by one and you get a
phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is
determined to turn America into a
Marxist-Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs
have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you
disavow this do an Internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet
cast in stone. You and I will write that
paragraph.
Will
it read as above or will it be a happier ending for most of America ?
Don't
just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull
together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for
Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE.
Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia , North
Korea or Iran . Our biggest enemy is a
contingent of politicians in Washington , DC . The government
will not help, so
we need to do it ourselves.

Yes. Our men and women in uniform have the same political (free) speech rights as we and corporations do. Men and women in uniform using their own money to contribute is one thing. Implying that the Dept. of Defense, et. al. are is quite another. Oh, they may have the same rights - but Obama is making every effort that they do not get to cast their votes.
Because of campaign contribution limits, the organizations do not contribute. These are contributions, "bundled" so to speak, by the employees or members of these organizations. In other words, it is not the United States Department of Defense that is/was RP's 5th largest campaign contributor. Rather, it was the DoD civilian employees and their immediate family members. Likewise, it was not the United States Army as an organization who was RP's 1st largest campaign contributor, rather it was the soldiers and their immediate family members.

Google has always been a LBERAL supporter and has given millions of dollars to the Democrat Party and Obama.
