'Government Motors' Starts Donating to Democrats

The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it - $36,000 - to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

[T.L.Sink]

You and I, the taxpayers, own 60% of GM. How does it feel to know that your money is going to the Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats? It's a situation that gives every indication that these partisan political contributions will be increasing greatly in the future. I think I'll buy a Ford.

[GraceG]

This is why they wanted GM because they could use it to launder money back to themselves.

[RedMDer]

Marxism 101.

[J Edgar]

Is this legal? Can the Federal Reserve donate to candidates? Can Freddie Mac and Fanny May contribute to political campaigns?

[Charles Martel]

[SpaceBar]

Is this legal?

My thoughts exactly.

[nmh]

Are they using tax payer money to do this?

This is nuts!

This is the dark side of how money BUYS people, companies and academia.

[workerbee]

The only pertinent question is, who’s gonna do anything about this?

And the answer, so far, is most likely..... *crickets*

[Oratam]

The dreams of Aaron Burrr are finally realized. Tammany goes national.

[nmh]

Round and round it goes.

One hand washes the other.

[nmh]

Demoncrats control it all, right now.

Hopefully that will a CHANGE in the fall and give us HOPE.

[himno hero]

Highly unethical. Its just a big political payback which all the people paid for. You thought bribery was illegal? This is no different!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

America, Uganda, Congo, Nigeria, Zimbabwe...no difference.

[Tzimisce]

Of course they are.

This is Marxism pure and simple.

[workerbee]

Read your own post #10.

Do you really think anything that happens in "the fall" is going make any difference, any difference at all , in what has been done in the last 20 mos.? Least of all, at GM?

[RedMDer]

Yep. Our money. Our products. Their marxist politics.
Marxism ruins every incentive to make anything that works.
Thats where we are heading, quickly.

[PMAS]

yes, Fannie Mae andFreddie does contribute to campaigns - almost all to DemocRats. So do all Government employee unions, Postal workers unions - almost always to the Rats who consistently raise their salaries and benefits

[nmh]

If the GOP can take over the Senate, there can be a world of difference. The Governors race is favoring Republicans. That tells me people are FED UP with the out of control spending etc..

[boycott]

GM and their union clowns will never ever see a dime of my money.
