Should the Democrats, pass a bill to never allow Satans Construction Company(Halliburton) to recieve Contracts

Question

FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERMANT

Answer 1

Sounds good. They should be shut down.

Answer 2

No because democrats used halliburton also and many hold stocks in the company from Michael Moore to the Clintons


The Clinton administration made the same calculation in its own dealings with Halliburton. The company had won the LOGCAP in 1992, then lost it in 1997. The Clinton administration nonetheless awarded a no-bid contract to Halliburton to continue its work in the Balkans supporting the U.S. peacekeeping mission there because it made little sense to change midstream. According to Byron York, Al Gore's reinventing-government panel even singled out Halliburton for praise for its military logistics work." - Rich Lowry, NRO

Answer 3

No. The dems didnt think it was a good idea for at&t to hang around but be split up. Turned into quite a fiasco and now they are all coming back together. Limiting contract availability to your friends and neighbors is likely to be against the law. Besides that, the dems dont like them because they are not one of "their" boys. If they had them in their pocket, or vice versa, you would never hear a word. The watchdog agencies are quite adequate to monitor contracts and companies and have slapped around halliburton on several occasions.

Answer 4

Drew, I don't see Halliburton as Satan's construction company. Perhaps Cheney's connection has had something to do with that company getting no-bid contracts. There are other companies there too. I hear that there is a great deal of waste because there has been no oversight of Halliburton and other companies and how they spend our money. Perhaps the Democratic controlled Congress will oversee such activities. The last 3 Congresses were rubber stamps for Bushco and so Halliburton and others could run amok unchecked.

Answer 5

Ha Ha Ha.

You may want to do your research.

First of all, there are services that Halliburton provides, that no one else in the world can do. Who do you suggest we turn to?

And secondly, do you have any idea how many contracts were given to Halliburton during the Clinton Administration?

Why don't you check it out!

Answer 6

Wow... so is calling Republicans "Nazis" out of style?

Now it's "Satans". You're not leaving a lot of room for growth there, pal. You can't get much worse than "Satans".

Oh, and no... although Halliburton doesn't receive many contracts from this "GOVERMANT" of yours. "Government" maybe.

Answer 7

Such a bill would be Constitutionally barred, as Congress is not permitted to pass a law that specifically targets an individual (a corporation is a legal individual). Notwithstanding this, Congress could pass legislation seeking to prevent a repeat of the types of abuses in the contracting process that have taken place. No matter what, it is most important that Congress begin using its oversight powers to prevent future abuses.

Answer 8

Your boy Clinton used Halliburton (Kellogg Brown and Root) saw it with my own eyes..Somalia 93 and Haiti 96...had friends in Bosnia and Kosovo 96-00...so you tell me is Halliburton only evil when Bush is using it? How old were you when Clinton was President 5 or 10?

Answer 9

Again... Bush and Cheney have never done anything inappropriate regarding Halliburton.

The only shady dealing was under Clinton when DynCorp underbid Halliburton, but Clinton voided that bid and instead gave it to Halliburton.

Do your research before you construct your conspiracy theories. Thanks!

Have a great day!

Answer 10

Ok, so now the government is going to decide if a company should or should not succeed? If Halliburton has broken the law, they should be prosecuted. Otherwise, American has a FREE-enterprise system. Get a life, people!

Answer 11

Oh sure, lets all drop a few IQ points and follow your advice to exclude the most experienced company in the world from benefitting our Country with the expertise. Good idea (not so much)

Oh Yeah, HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!!
