Doesn't this just tell you everything you need to know about *

From the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights. This article just tells everything that is blatantly wrong with this administration, yet the pukes will read something like this and still slather over * and claim there is no conflict of interests. These people are the classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse and they are 'gaming' the system from every possible angle. :grr:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A new report, "Class Action Cabinet," released today by the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) shows that 13 of 16 Bush Cabinet members have been employed by, served on the board of, or have significant financial interest in corporations that have been targeted by consumer class-action lawsuits. Deliberations on the bill could start as early as tomorrow.

Condoleeza Rice and Andrew Card, top advisors to President Bush, though not part of the Cabinet, were also found to have ties to companies targeted by class action lawsuits as was President Bush himself.

The report by the consumer advocacy group comes as the US Senate is set to debate Bush-backed legislation, S 274, to limit consumers' rights to file class action lawsuits.

"The White House campaign to curb class action lawsuits is being driven by the very corporations that gave birth to the cabinet and will likely fund their retirement," said Jamie Court, executive director of FTCR and author of "Corporateering: How Corporate Power Steals Your Personal Freedom And What You Can Do About It" (Tarcher/Putnam). "The Bush Administration has an undisclosed conflict of interest in lobbying to take away the rights of consumers to band together against corporate abuses that they could not fight alone. This is the equivalent of President Bush using his office to break up a baseball strike against the Texas Rangers."

1. This group in White House are all bought and paid for.

If they took off their pants their back sides would be peppered with well known logos. This slime will be coming out of wood work for the next 25 years.

I guess I just can't fathom how anybody, even partisan pukes, can delude themselves so much as to not see it ? :shrug: It is simply beyond my comprehension ?
