People fall for it every single time... Big Oil contributions to Obama.. like clockwork
Sometimes I cannot believe how totally clueless people can become..

All major corporations contribute to both parties.. in an @ss covering scenario..

Big Oil contributes twice to three times the amount to republicans as they do to democrats.

But to listen to some.. they totally gloss over that.. or the fact that banks, oil companies, doctors , lawyers and all ships at sea contribute to both parties..

But hell no.. Obama and the Democrats took money from oil.. only they are at fault.. and somehow they should be refusing every penny that is not..not.. what?

I never see the next step in that.

Old whats his face.. Ralph Nadar took money from the RNC and its fellow travelers.. but that was okay..

God Give Me Strength..

1. One person even posted a list of Halliburton employees who gave donations
of between 200-300 dollars to Obama.

I guess that puts Obama in Halliburton's pocket, by GD's logic.

I donated while employed by a giant life insurance company, and I'm sure hundreds of others did too--I guess that puts Obama in the pocket of Big Insurance.

3. Wasn't there a post yesterday pointing out that Obama didn't take a single dollar from BP?
He got like $71k from BP employees, but nothing from BP as he didn't take PAC money anyway.

4. That is the truth of it. Some of the BP employees are Democrats and donated to Obama.
Some BP employees are, yes.... are Black!

:rofl:

I hate the lie, and it's perpetrated by the MSM, that donations from employees are donations from BP.

BP has over 100,000 employees.

Some of them are drivers, office clerks, janitors, assistants.

And of course, many are Democrats and are entitled to make donations to candidates.

What a bunch of horseshit!

:hi:

6. some people are doing it on purpose and i suspect some are right wing trolls
this happened with Gore and Kerry also. people talking about how much they got from some corporation when it was the workers who gave money.

do they think someone who is working minimum wage at mcdonalds and donates a couple hundred to a politician makes that politicians in the hands of Mcdonalds corporation ?
