Why do liberals always throw in the comment that...?

Question

conservatives only do things for big business because big business has them in their back pocket and gives them money!

Don't you realize that liberals are in the back pockets of public school boards, universities, and environmentalists. And the liberals receive a lot of money from them?!!!! They're doing the samething you blast cons for! Being bought out to further someone elses agenda! Just because it's to further a school or an environmental organizations agenda, doesn't mean it's for the good of the people!

Well those big greedy companies fuel our economy, keeps us employed, and when the economy is good and taxes are low for them, products and services are cheaper for us!

Abortion wasn't even brought up g! Read much!

That's all I'm saying 'anotherguy', just pointing out their hypocrisy.

Forgot to mention labor unions, they have liberals as well!

Answer 1

They don't seem to get it! With out big business there would be no money for their programs and no jobs, regardless of who gets any contributions.

Answer 2

Politicians on both sides of the coin do things to further their own agenda. The big house bought and paid for by lobbyists, the $2000.00 evenings out, the funding factors, it is all for the politicians. We the American people DO NOT count for a thing until it is election time again. We are going to run an ethical congress, The New York Times ran a story on what was going on. I really don't think the good of the people came up one time in that story. With this tremendous information age you would think that people would be more informed to what is going on. Apparently not, which is shameful. They rely heavily on the TV for their biased news reports which shouldn't be allowed, but that is another topic.

Answer 3

What do you think is more important...
funding a university, that will most likely benefit a large section of the population and will benefit all of society in the long-run, or financially help out large corporations that make billions of dollars every year to benefit a couple of stockholders, or a couple of board directors of the company?

Please. Most environmentalists dont even make that much money...and think about schools! Do teachers make a lot of money? No.

Answer 4

Umm....Please read "Trust us, We're Experts" It answers this question much better than I can,documenting in detail the way that conservative thinktanks and foundations have perverted science through creating "front groups" to parrot the opinions of said group and corporation.

First of all, though, let me say that liberals don't have that kind of money to be throwing around anymore, and thus we don't do nearly as much of that sort of thing as conservatives do, and I'll tell you why not.

Let me tell you about what tort reform, REALLY was about. Tort reform was about eliminating the large sums of money that lawyers get paid when major class action and other kinds of suits win (though obviously the people being represented got the most money as they should). See, and alot of these sorts of lawyers are liberal,and thus they would donate alot of their money to liberal causes, and were giving the conservatives a run for their funded money.

Well, they couldn't have that, so they made a big hew and cry about the "misuse of lawsuits" citing a few of the very few examples of misuse, and then not only did they make their bed with the big companies such as pharmaceutical companies who now wouldn't have to worry about actually making their products safe, lest they end up bankrupt if they didn't, they also neatly cut off one of the liberal party's major source of funding.

That, is why we can accurately portray conservatives (especially of the neo variety) of being in bed with big corporations and large funders, and why we can safely say that we don't do nearly as much of that, if at all.

Answer 5

Are you implying that school is not important? What kind of world do we live in, if the environment is missed up? In all honesty how are these two things not "for the good of the people"? It seems to me, that the needs of the people of a whole are brought down to these two elements. How do you plan to have businesses grow without education of people who are employed? How do you plan to grow crops without a good environment in which they can flourish...

What is not seen is that the two namely conservatives and liberals are designed to keep a balance, if the focus is on one and not the other, the both are doomed.

This is what people don't realize....

Answer 6

School boards, universities and environmentalists don't go around starting wars based on lies for fun and profit like the corporations have.

Answer 7

why do conservatives always have to throw in that liberals are baby killers... guh

I've seen conversations about the debt... stock market... welfare... pretty much everything... and somehow abortion comes up...

most people don't think being in the "back pockets" of the schools and environmentalists to be a bad thing exactly...

Answer 8

People on both sides like to vent frustration, and make ad hominem attacks. However, whether you like to admit it or not, money is what makes our political world go around today, and all politicians are heavily swayed by the dollar.

Answer 9

Beats me, Jack. Ain't nobody put nothing in my back pocket from either side. Donations being accepted now. What would you like to give?

Answer 10

Yes, because teachers make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And because education and not slashing and burning the environment to make a few dollars are -terrible- things.

Answer 11

I don't understand how doing something for a school (aren't children people too?) or the enivironment (don't we live in the environ,ment?) isn't doing something for the people, besides conservatives are also in the back pockets of the Christian Evangelicals....
