To Pee or not to Pee

While we're arguing over piss and pennies, this is what's happening to our democracy:

Have you heard of William Dore, Foster Friess, Sheldon Adelson, Harold Simmons, Peter Thiel, or Bruce Kovner? If not, let me introduce them to you. They're running for the Republican nomination for president.

I know, I know. You think Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney are running. They are -- but only because the people listed in the first paragraph have given them huge sums of money to do so. In a sense, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, and Romney are the fronts. Dore et al. are the real investors.

According to January's Federal Election Commission report, William Dore and Foster Friess supplied more than three-fourths of the $2.1 million raked in by Rick Santorum's super PAC in January. Dore, president of the Dore Energy Corporation in Lake Charles, Louisiana, gave $1 million; Freis, a fund manager based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, gave $669,000 (he had given the Santorum super PAC $331,000 last year, bringing Freis's total to $1 million).

Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam provided $10 million of the $11 million that went into Gingrich's super PAC in January. Adelson is chairman of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. Texas billionaire Harold Simmons donated $500,000.

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, provided $1.7 million of the $2.4 million raised by Ron Paul's super PAC in January.

Mitt Romney's super PAC raised $6.6 million last month -- almost all from just forty donors. Bruce Kovner, co-founder of the New York-based hedge fund Caxton Associates, gave $500,000, as did two others. David Tepper of Appaloosa Management gave $375,000. J.W. Marriott and Richard Marriott gave a total of $500,000. Julian Robertson, co-founder of hedge fund Tiger Management, gave $250,0000. Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman gave $100,000.

Bottom line: Whoever emerges as the GOP standard-bearer will be deeply indebted to a handful of people, each of whom will expect a good return on their investment.

You obviously didn't read my post, I said that worrying about this 2% crap and not even recognizing the real threats that are costing us trillions is just lost on you isn't it? All for what? A screwed up urge to go after who? WTF for? To pour billions more into a drug war that we've lost, to put more people into prison over a marijuana cigarette?!? To pour more money into the Prison Industrial Complex? To create another government agency that we'll have to pay for?!? Really?!? And just fuck the 4th amendment right? 2% right!?!

I NEVER read the whole rant when you post something LOL I look around to see if there is anything I have something to say about (normally I don't cause you're like a broken record) and I happened to have stumbled on that little piece I quoted and thought I should reply on that. Get it? So basically what I was saying, since you don't get it, is that there is nothing wrong with drug testing whether it's for food stamps or work or whatever. That is not what is fucking up the country.

PS. What are you doing here anyway? I never see you post about any girls you've seen, not that anyone would want to see you at this point HAHA What's your game or your deal? Can't you find another site more suited for you? I really am not sure you belong here.

Do you really think all those who receive government aid do not have guns? Look at the high rate of violence in the projects? These people have guns so they should have to piss in a cup just like the military.

A very small percentage of those taking drug tests in the military fail too. So based on your logic, we shouldn't be spending the time or money to test them either.

Pepper - I love how fiesty you get. you go girl!


reply from 1Nemesis - "What??? Your equating welfare recipients to the power the military gives it's soldiers right?!? The million dollar fighters and transport planes that fly over San Antonio everyday is somehow equal to someone on welfare practicing their 2nd amendment rights? That's what your saying ?!? I don't know what to say Tex…... "



Of course you don't know what to say. My point is valid. You think our military should be subjected to drug tests because they have guns. Wake up and smell the roses - so do the drug junkies living in public housing. But according to you, they should not have to take a drug test.

My question is still "what's the difference?" You are so concerned with protecting the rights of the few that you (and liberals in general) believe are too incable of speaking for themselves or taking care of themselves that you forget who is protecting your rights.

This Charlie Foxtrot is over.

Let the posts of one in particular be a lesson for all in how not to debate. A good debate does not include browbeating with nonsense, using things that are not true, and especially belittling the other participants in the debate.

That paticular one will not be coming back...
