question: Foreign contributions to campaigns??? how can we do it?

[PretzelWarrior]

Here's what I hope is already happening. If much of the money is tied up in corporate America to make sure a conservative gets elected, then we may have to turn to the traditional allies of USA who are haters of GW Bush and all he stands for just like we are.

Why, in the revolutionary war we couldn't do it alone and received help from the French. Can people just solicit money off the record from people in Europe and then turn around to contribute it as if it was their own money? Why not?

WHO THE F*CK CARES ABOUT ETHICS??!!! Being the nice, honest guy obviously only gets you dead or broke or worse. So why not beat the repukes at their own game and stop at NOTHING to take down this grotesque and twisted regime?

The final straw: a headline that said "Bush will allow Canada to bid on Iraq contracts". THere are so many things wrong with that statement. WHO THE F*CK IS BUSH to have the say so? We have a Congress that should be making these considerations about commerce. Oh...but the worst part is the g*ddamn IRAQIS should have say over this matter. But the USA wants Iraq as a colony. The REPUKES are willingly abdicating their part of congressional power and thus cede democrats' power as well. They are too busy renaming french fries in the cafeteria to blunt the ambitions of a psychopathic skull and bones self-styled dictator.

GET RID OF THESE BUMS. BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY!

1. The only way I can see for that to happen

would be by PRIVATELY sending money to friends in the US who cannot afford to donate on their own.. It is illegal for a foreigner to donate, but if you were to "loan" an american friend money, and if he/she decides to "use" it for a contribution, ......hmmmmmm.

2. The GOP has money pass through US individual or corporation -

not sure it is legal -

but with control of GOP FED ELECTION COMMISSION - they do not have problem (indeed our new GOP southern governor broke the law in 96 by moving Chinese Army money to Dole - and then the GOP and the media chased Clinton about China connections - Haley Barbour proved just how much of a whore press we have in the US -- you have to have a dark sense of humor to be a Dem and laugh at the media pretense of fairness).
