This is bogus and you know it - already been proven false - sm

Your posting an article from think progress.org? That's like thinking an article from Moveon.org is credible. This group is not credible.

Check fact check. Someone posted a link. There is no proof to the money is from a foreign source. But then again you already know that.

Funny thought, seems the democrats are perfectly fine with illegal contributions and foreign aid as long as it supports them.

However, it's been proven that this is a total bogus claim. They have no facts to back it up.

Need to do your fact checking a little better.

As they say - just because you want it to be true doesn't mean it is.

Yep, already been debunked, but dems are so desperate - they keep trying, even Obama uses it.nm

Of course, you will probably say it's a lie. I did not read anywhere in the article you posted that they are funding the pubs only. Can you point it out to me?

http://www.uschamber.com/facts/myth-vs-fact-foreign-money-and-political-spending

Also, from the below site, they didn't just contribute to the pubs, but also the dems (although the dems got quite a few dollars less).

Oh My! Check out these donations. It's an outrage! - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
I do believe we should stop these companies from donating. After all, they are foreign even though they have companies in the U.S. Yet, who received most of the money? Huh? What's that you say? Pubs? Look again.

How about checking a few resources before posting just one item that you find 'truthful.'

http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/foreign.php

These are openly disclosed - and India does not appear in the list

That was my point. India has a lot of businesses here, too - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
The point the OP was making was that most of the campaign money was being given to the pubs. But, large businesses, also foreign companies, have donated money and most of the money they donated didn't go to the pubs. So, really, don't you think it's a moot point?

I posted the above posts to show some truthfulness in the USCOC and the Indian affiliate. If you don't believe them, fine.

Don't understand this Congress.

Pritzker told the Senate Commerce Committee she felt “very badly” about the failure of the thrift.

Is India going to be the 'new China'? It sounds like it with all the CEOs wanting to do business there with low labor costs. I'm thinking outsoursing MT work was just the beginning and we can yell all we want about it but our voices will be ignored. Although the headline states 'both sides hope to expand ties', with the low pay in India, how will they ever be able to afford American goods? I think this will turn out to be another one-sided deal, with the U.S. losing agai ...

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost. The chairman of the Walt Disney Company, Robert A. Iger, is co-chairman with Michael R. Bloomberg, the former mayo ...

So the girl is on vacation with her family. She is 15. Her mother let's her hang back with a 25 year old tour guide while the rest of the family moves on vacationing around. A big mistake.

I was listening to a Chamber of Commerce guy talking about business last night. He was saying he would like to infuse more talent from India into our state (by bringing Indian workers here). He was talking about professionals, not factory and industrial workers). Okay. Maybe it is time to address the question, what do the Indian workers bring here that we do not have? I understand the outsourcing being cheap labor, but why are there so many Indian doctors, ...

The campaign is lobbying television stations to pull an anti-Clinton ad, claiming that the 30 second spot "directly contracted by evidence in the public record."

As a single women nearing 50, and having MANY male friends, there is one observation that just MUST be made. Men constantly complain that women are "only after (my) money," yet all of the men whom I know well who are even moderately "successful," whether married or single, have male friend(s) whom they fork money over to constantly. Usually these take the form of "loans" that are NEVER actually repaid. I don't know if my married buddies tell their wives about these "loans" or ...
