The top 10 ways to identify the obama supporters

[Ron in Regina]

I assumed that the really big companies in the U.S. would donate hugely to
both political parties, so that regardless as to who happens to win, they'd
have their hooks into the Oval Office and wouldn't end up being ostracized
losers in business just 'cuz they sponsored the wrong dude who might hold
a grudge over not getting his cut.

- Nutcase Nick .... In 2008 the major contributors to Obama's campaign were large financial institutions including the big banks that Obama decreed were too big to fail and for which he reciprocated their campaign contributions by rescuing them with billions of taxpayer dollars, even more than the 90 billion he has blown on green energy losers run by his cronies.

- Today, even though your moron and management trainee buddy Barry bailed out the banks and even though the stiock market is doing well, the banks and other financial institutions are concerned about the stalled economy soon to be pushed over the cliff by Obama and are also tired of BO's BS that seeks to play the politics of envy and class warfare and thereby polarize and divide America at a time that it needs to be united.

- In other words, Nutcase Nick, the institutions that supported Obama in 2008 are on to him in 2012 and so they are now mostly supporting Romney.

- Only a nutcase or an utterly gullible moron would try to portray this is Romney being in league with the big banks anymore than the 2008 campaign contributions meant that Obama was automatically in league with the big banks.

- But keep on being a rabidly partisan and extreme left wing whackjob because it is good comic value for those of us who can spell IQ without needing to be spotted the Q.

Well there Teddy, Where do I start?

Lets first go with the lovely name calling....WTF? Is that your total skill in conversation? When the first thing you do is try to portray someone you may disagree with as a "nutcase" you lose all credibility from the start. You obviously lack any kind of mental aptitude because you go right into the holy chalice of name-calling and, apparently failed at that too as there are many worse thing to be called not that any matter from the like of you.

Ok, now on to a few other points besides the top of your little head....I don't know where you made the assumption that I support Obama but you missed by a country, not a country mile but the whole damn country. I support NO politicians in this day & age because NONE of them work for the citizens with the interest of the citizenry in mind. Not Romney, not Obama, not Harper etc, etc.
I also already knew that Obama's biggest donors last time were the same as Romney's this time, what you so carefully forgot to include was they were also the biggest donors to Mccain last time and also both candidates in Bush/Kerry. Hedging their bets and ensuring they had bought both candidates in order to continue the financial sector's control over Washington and it's policies.

Now for your biggest misconception, the banks and stock market are not doing well at all. If you remove the bailout money from the equation most of the big banks (especially the investment banks) are broke and should have filed for ch11 protection some time ago. While the market may be climbing a little it is sure to collapse even further very shortly. The mistake was made by injecting about $1trillion in taxpayer funded bailout money which has artificially re-inflated the bubble. Once this artificial stimulus is gone we will have an even bigger bubble than before 2008 which will burst with even bigger consequences. Check out some of the leading economists NOT tied to the govt and they all concur this will happen possibly as early as 2013.

The globe is in financial ruin (as the banksters planned) and the IMF and its cronies now own most of the countries on the planet. There will soon be a point where either the individual citizens will stand up and take control of our countries back and let these banks fail or we will all be permanently enslaved to them by our govt's.

Please note how I made my points here without calling you a 'nutcase' or a fruitcake or any other derogatory terms. Also, I suggest, you may want to actually find out the entire view of a person before you go off on a rant that simply makes you look ignorant and stupid.

- But keep on being a rabidly partisan and extreme right wing whackjob because it is good comic value for those of us who can spell IQ without needing to be spotted the Q....I'll spot you the I and the Q because you obviously need the help.

Good post Nick....

- taxslave ... Even left wing lunatics like yourself should be bright enough and energetic enough to be able to google information but since this eems to be beyond you, I provide you with the comparative stats below. But surely even you are able to read and if you can you will see that these companies gave 2 to 4 times as much money to THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN as the the Republican campaign. Lordy, you are one clueless, hopelessly uninformed and ideologically driven loser.

Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Poor teddy can't answer a simple question without being a shill for the wingnuts.

So just while the subject is open can anyone please explain why the US Govt and the US Army/Navy/Armed forces are contributors to an election campaign. As the forces are branches of govt under control of the Commander in Chief (president) why would they be allowed to contribute and where does the money come from. Do they spend part of their allocated budget to make these donations in which case it would be perpetrating a fraud upon the citizens as that is not what we expect our tax dollars earmarked for the military to be spent on. Same goes for the Govt, are they spending tax dollars to promote a candidate and who makes the decision on which one? You could also throw the US Postal service in this group. Really just goes to show how corrupt the system is when govt agencies are allowed to contribute tax money to campaigns. What a Farce!!

They arbitrage short their tax credits to leverage from China and hedge against the US dollar.
