By the way, back on September 22, because of the absolute worthless condition of our U.S. dollar, I offered to take all those worthless and messy dollars off your hands and dispose of them at my cost.   I recently checked my mailbox again.  The latest tally shows that, as of this morning I have received a grand total of 0 (zero/zilch) dollars.  I'm somewhat dumbfounded.  I ask you, what am I to believe? 

 

Here's a reminder of my offer posted on the 22nd:

 

"Some, myself included, might say that the dollar has already failed. It has lost over 92% of its value since its initial issuance in 1913. After the revaluation in 1934, the dollar dropped another 41%. In my opinion, it already is toilet paper money, but for the above-mentioned characteristics, which are alarmingly similar to the circumstances that led up to the eventual collapse of the dollar’s toilet paper predecessors, I believe that we have seen only the tip of the iceberg of the dollar’s inevitable path toward becoming toilet paper money."

 

"I agree.  I am now accepting all the worthless dollar paper that you want to get off your hands.  I have means by which I can dispose of it properly.  Send me all your scrap dollars.  Don't hesitate.  You don't have to put up with the clutter.  You can thank me later."

"Just for the sake of argument I'm going to say that The University of California is not a corporation and I sort of wonder about Harvard."

 

I didn't use the donations from the two Universities in my totals that show Obumbler collecting significantly more from Corporations than McCain.

 

But you did.   They may not have been necessary, but you did include them.

 

  What this shows is that your contention about "right wing corporations" is obviously incorrect.  Maybe you should spend more energy bashing "left wing corporations" or go back for more talking point instructions?

 

Have you shown that to be corporate money.   I think it is from individuals who happen to work for a corporation which is true for most of us who work.   Weren't corporate campaign contributions illegal?

 

You really will argue about anything whether it makes sense or not!

 

It made sense.


You can go back to your same source and find that Obama got $656 million in individual contributions and McCain got $199 million.

Also Obama got only $1,850 form PACS and McCain got $1,408,000 form PACS.

 

You haven't even mentioned the "independent" expenditures of the corporations and wealthy individuals.

Or the three hour per day, five day per week commercial of Rush Limbaugh.

When you run out of space to store all those dollars, rest assured I will be accepting the rest. Who knows, oil might get below 50.00 a barrel again and that's where I'll drop mine for the next profiteering round, and gladly pay my tax obligation as always.

No I didn't.  I only used corporate based donations.  I didn't include the two Universities in my total for Obama.

  I only used the $1,013,091 from Goldman Sachs, plus the $852,167 from Microsoft, plus the $814,540 from Google.  Those three corporate donations total the 2.68 million for Obama.   

I used all five of the top five for McCain because they were all corporations.

 

Anyway you cut it the relative difference remains the same.  Obumbler got more from corporations than did McCain, thus rendering your "right wing" argument null.
