Another reason I don’t want to vote for Hillary

Filed in Uncategorized by on June 26, 2007

I’m sure we all love big corporations.  You know, the ones that get free highways, hundreds of acres of land and tax exemptions, then rip off medicare to make a few bucks, or the ones that sell out their employees to Bank of America so they can make a few bucks and screw about 5000 people….

 Well when these beloved characters endorse a candidate I get nervous.

One of Hillary Clinton’s most important courtships began early last year, around a formal dinner table at Georgetown’s Four Seasons Hotel. Her targets were Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack and his wife, Christy. Mack was already active politically – but on behalf of Clinton’s political opponents. A Bush “Ranger,” he had raised at least $200,000 for the President’s reelection bid and was one of the most prominent business names on GOP donor lists. At one time his name had circulated as a potential Bush Treasury Secretary.

The more than 150 top executives who have raised money for Clinton represent such brand names as Anheuser-Busch (Charts, Fortune 500), Comcast (Charts), Estée Lauder, Palm (Charts), Sun Microsystems (Charts, Fortune 500) and Qualcomm (Charts, Fortune 500). Venture capitalist James D. Robinson III, the former CEO of American Express and a longtime Republican, told Fortune he now supports Clinton for President, citing her “breadth of experience, especially on the international level, which is critical for going forward.”

greeeeatttttt huh?

    They think she’s going to win, so they’re placing their chips where they’ll see the mot benefit.

    Someone told me a long time ago — Labor supports Democrats and Business supports the winners.
