BLUE DOGS, PORK AND "MORALITY":
The Arms Industry's Buyout of the Democratic Party

<snip>
"Loretta Sanchez is being censured for holding a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion, but no one in the Democratic Party hierarchy raises an eyebrow at the fact that Raytheon - a major weapons contractor with a multi-billion dollar stake in the National Missile Defense (NMD) system - co-hosted a fundraiser for Sanchez and her colleagues in the conservative 'Blue Dog' caucus on Santa Monica Pier a day before the Democratic National Convention kicks off. Gore and Lieberman are carefully attuned to even the slightest hint of personal impropriety, but they are politically tone deaf when it comes to the massive conflict of interest involved in their avid solicitation of funds from major weapon makers like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin," Hartung asserts.

1. Terry baby would know.

This is one reason I would like to get him out sooner rather than later(when his term expires.) Great fund raiser, but stuff like this: UGH.:puke:

We shouldn't have ANY of this stuff this year.

2. Well, thank God Lieberman

has lost some traction. Seems he's had a lot of connections with arms contracters.

5. thank you

Of course I noticed Lockheed Martin.
Interesting to note that Fox donated almost equally to Rs and Ds.

I am hoping I can find info on the upcoming conventions through this site.

thanks again
