This Page has 2 parts. The first lists companies and/or CEO's that have endorsed the Republican and Democratic Parties. Incorporation is a marriage between business and government that has corrupted both. Libertarians are pro business that is responsible for its actions no matter what size the business is. I recommend you do not support people that use the corporate bully bull pit to advocate for or against Republican and Democratic candidates. Furthermore, when you see a party insuring itself by contributing to both parties, you can imagine that the taxpayer is getting double taken by the bipartisan event - Michael Murphy

WHAT'S GOING WRONG WITH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS - A BLACKLIST (NEW AS OF 9/21/04)
Party |
Person or Group Involved |
Problem |
Libertarian Solution |
Republican | Tom Delay (R-TX District 22) | Numerous Ethics Complaints from Chris Bell (D-TX) • Rep. DeLay gave special consideration
to Westar Energy Corp., a Kansas-based company, in return for political
contributions. According to Common Cause, the problem is that Tom Delay has given campaign money to 4 of the 5 Republicans on the panel in charge of the investigation! The panel consists of 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats, 0 Libertarians and 0 from any other 3rd party. |
If found complicit, Tom Delay should be removed from Congress. Fix Congress so that there cannot be a conflict of interest between investigating panels and defendants. Remember, these are the same good ol' boys that lock out Libertarians from the established system. Corrupt! Corrupt! Corrupt! Don't vote for Democrats or Republicans whenever possible. Help Libertarians run against these two extremely corrupt and deadly political parties. The panel should open up the investigation to an outside council as done previously rather than protect one of their own. |
Republican | Howard Kaloogian "Move America Forward.org" | Republican Propogandist and !!!SPAMMER!!! that doesn't remove you from the spam lists. Spam is pretty good at avoiding detection by spam software. Republicans stoop pretty low here in their attempt to sell the Republican Totalitarian Party. This is an example of one law breaking corrupt individual supporting a law breaking corrupt party. FBI has been notified and, as expected, is doing absolutely NOTHING about this particular and very well known spammer. Figures!!! Remember, the FBI works for the Republican and Democratic Parties and not for "we the people. | Do everything you can to encourage the "see no evil" FBI to address this offender of their own spamming initiatives. No fair protecting their friends! Write your congressman (good luck). Make sure all Kaloogian's email is directed to deletion and forwarded to the FBI. REMOVE FBI LEADERSHIP THAT SUPPORTS HIM! If you can, let the FBI know you've been spammed at https://tips.fbi.gov/. This jerk actually ran for Senate in CA and despite the money he raised from his less than ethical activities, he too lost to Barbara Boxer as a meager also ran. In this case, it was a good thing. However, where did the campaign money go? To his own family in the form of pay checks???? To other politicians???? H'mmm lets investigate this one???? If he indeed blew his wad, I'm glad he now owes more than the cash he has on hand. Evil gets as evil does. |
Demopublican | Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) | Useless organization that favors certain crimes and criminals over others for political gain. Citing Waco, Ruby Ridge, Current allowance of Republican spamming despite funding to prevent Spamming. | REMOVE FBI LEADERSHIP until a leader that is fair and Constitutional without political bias can be found. |
Demopublican with a touch of Nader socialism. | Zogby Polling | Corrupt polling organization that favors Democrats and Republicans and tries to silence third parties. (Recently Zogby started showing a little Nader - what do you expect from an out-and-out socialist?) | Zogby is a cheap stubby, twisted little deformed gremlin that makes the political world as corrupt as it is. Find a fair polling organization to watch and support. Don't serve this guy if he asks for help in a restaurant or clothing store. EVIL is as EVIL does. Funny, Republicans and Democrats seem to love the little sh_t. |
