LOL!!

We all know that had the shoe been on the other foot YOU would be screaming about the evil GOP giving influence and govt contracts and positions in exchange for campaign funds.

Has there ever been a topic that you didn't spin? It is evil for Gov Walker to solicit funds outside his state to help with his recall election but it is ok for Obama to take money from those seeking influence in his govt? Yeah ok.

I realize that ALL politicians are doing this but that doesn't mean I think that is kosher.

Yeah it doesn't "prove" anything, it is all just a huge coincidence...

Ah, yes. I see you are indeed assuming that there is quid pro quo. Then making up a straw man. My god, your "debate" style is predictable. Carry on.

There is no debate. The assumption that there is quid pro quo is a given. Are you making the case that it isn't? This is almost as bad as Cubans aren't Latinos...

Yes. That's kind of my point. Thanks
