U.S. gov’t employees among top campaign contributors to Obama

U.S. gov’t employees among top campaign contributors to Obama. “…gov’t employee and their families have thus far contributed $396,550 …making them one of the top five… U.S. State Department and their families have, by themselves, contributed $213,256…” They must all be fans of “The View.”

  • I have been saying it for years and I will continue to do so, gooberment employees and welfare patients should not be allowed to vote. Federal, state or local, it does not matter, 95% of them will vote for the person who keeps lining their pockets even though it will have a detrimental effect on local, state and federal economies.

    To hell with what is right for the community, state or country, they want more gravy loaded on their train.

    • Ron Paul proved that it doesn't matter who anyone votes for anyway. It's up to Corporate Greed to make the decision for you.

        • I see our Paulista just can't let go..I was just thinking, I bet he is nothing more than an Obozo supporter and getting paid by media matters to try and convince conservatives to write in Ron Paul and toss the election...I hope he doesn't get paid for his wit and wisdom, he might just have to give back his paycheck...

        • Or that Corporate Greed tricked you into thinking the only competent candidate is a "bonehead".

  • This is absolute, irrevocable proof that we need at least a 75% turn over in the State Department, accompanied by a 30%force reduction and 50% budget reduction.
