General Motors Co. has begun to once again contribute to political campaigns, lifting a self-imposed ban on political spending put in place during the auto maker's U.S.-financed bankruptcy restructuring last year.

The Detroit company gave $90,500 to candidates running in the current election cycle, Federal Election Commission records show.

GM Resumes Campaign Contributions The beneficiaries include Midwestern lawmakers, mostly Democrats, who have traditionally supported the industry's legislative agenda on Capitol Hill, including Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) and Rep. John Dingell (D., Mich.).

The list also includes Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, the House Republican Whip, who would likely assume a top leadership post if Republicans win control of the House in November.

Obama took GM ownership away from the bondholders (who paid for it) and handed it to the UAW (who did not pay for it).

Now the UAW is paying Obama back.

This is as un-American as it get. Hugo Chavez has nothing on this looter government.

Headline in need of a fix.

GM Resumes Political Giving KICKBACKS

[Paine in the Neck]

GM delende est!

Courtesan is more like it...............

I think "Whore" is more accurate.

[anniegetyourgun]

I want my money back. I want my country back.

Cantor is a socialist?

Color me Shocked.

A courtesan is a whore who serves only aristocracy.................

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It’s a clear conflict of interest for anyone who voted for the GM bailout to accept money from GM.

Each should be asked if they accepted GM money with a clear conscience...

[VRWCmember]

And the GM union whore will service any trailer park trash who has the money and position to provide favors.

Don't be silly.............of course they did...................

[St. Louis Conservative]

*Sigh*

One of the very best things about a possible Republican house majority will be having Darrell Issa as chairman of the oversight committee. The man is a $%^*$ bulldog. I guarantee you that this is one of the things the Democrats fear most about losing the majority.

GM Gives Taxpayer Money to Political Candidates

There, fixed the headline

[VRWCmember]

Obama took GM ownership away from the bondholders (who paid for it) and handed it to the UAW (who did not pay for it).

Unless I'm mistaken, the theft of bondholder assets transfered to the UAW occurred in the Chrysler bankruptcy bailout rather than the GM bailout.

[jcsjcm]

There are so many things wrong with this it’s hard to know where to start.

Absolutely second your opinion!

[Red Badger]

And the GM union whore will service any CAPITOL HILL TRASH who has the money and position to provide favors............

[VRWCmember]

They would have to actually have a conscience in order for that question to be relevant.

[VRWCmember]

Trailer park trash vs Capitol Hill trash.

In many cases that is a distinction without a difference

[Lazamataz]

Cantor is a communist.

Okay, not communist, what's that other word?

Socialist. Cantor is a Socialist.

Okay, not socialist, what's that other word?

American.
