General Motors is spending your tax dollars on political contributions to Democrats

by editor on August 9, 2010

As would be expected, General Motors suspended all political donations when it went into bankruptcy last year. We thought they might actually continue that policy as long as 61% of the company’s stock was owned by the American taxpayers.

No such luck.

Fox Nation tells how your tax dollars found a new home with the corrupt Congressional Black Caucus:

Charlie Rangel, poster boy for the Congressional Black Caucus, recipient of your tax dollars via General Motors

The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it — $36,000 — to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the company reported on a disclosure form last week. The CBC Foundation is a charity with 11 members of the Congressional Black Caucus on its board.

“We’ve always given to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation as far back as anyone can remember,” said Greg Martin, GM spokesman. “Our commitment remains unabated, and we continue to be a proud supporter of their work to advance economic development in communities throughout the U.S.”

Henry Ford said, “You can have it in any color you want as long as it’s black.” General Motors has apparently amended that to, “You can have it in any color you want as long as it’s the Congressional Black Caucus.”

Right on, MV! I’ve been driving Fords for a long time, but it was because GM trucks are garbage. Now I can add this to the argument.

GM gives $36,000 to Dems. It was NEVER reported on FOX NEWS that FOX NEWS gave $1,000,000 to Republican Governor Assoc.

$36,000 wow. That is like comparing the non-story of Hillary making $100,000 on the cattle deal that was dismissed but Cheney was handed a check for $34,000,000 from Halliburton the day he became VP and the personal wealth created for their cronies from the war. FDR said there would be no War Profiteer millionaires in WW2. W apparently said his close people would ALL become War Profiteer millionaires. Where was your outrage then or even now with all of the death he brought upon YOU…ME and the WORLD? crickets..

$36,000….woo hoo…maybe 1 poorly paid employee…alert the press and impeach Obama! <>

But watch the liberal weenies run screaming if the money had gone to conservative organizations.

$36,000 is nothing…call me when it gets higher than most people’s take home pay

$36,000 / 11 = $3,272.72

You are inferring political donations as a result of government bailout. Take a look at Erik Prince from Blackwater. Non compete contracts from jinned up Republican wars = donations to Republicans. War is a wonderful way to result in political donations and Bush/Cheney did it well.

And again FOX News donated many times to Republicans only which is where this story came from. FOX Never put it on their TV channel…it WAS posted to Wikipedia but then REMOVED BY FOX NEWS. Unbelievable.

Glenn Beck is a RAVING LIBERAL!!!
