Is congress loyal to the people or big corporation & prifit concerning the war in Iraq?

Question

over 80% of America wants OUT,,,perhaps its blind faith,,what do you think>?????

Answer 1

Recheck your numbers. You are way off base. Don't be upset, we've grown to expect lies out of Liberals.

Answer 2

First of all,your premise is too simplistic. 80% of the people do not simply want "out". If that were true the Democrats and even some Republicans would be climbing over each other to cut the war funding. People want the situation resolved. There is a big difference between finishing a fight and quiting.

Secondly, you need to stop villifying large corporations. I realize that some political groups have spent a lot of time creating the image that today's corporations are robber barrons. That is simply not the case. Corporations are owned by the investors. They employ us. They provide goods and services at fair market prices. That is where most of our pension money is invested. A pretty good argument can be made that what is good for corporations is good for America and what hurts corporations hurts America.

Most corporations donate funding and services to both political parties. This is not to unduly influence them but to hedge against the winning party becoming hostile to the interests of that business. It is more like the politicians extorting money from business than business corrupting politicians. Microsoft stayed pretty much out of politics for most of its life. That is until Bill Clinton sent Janet Reno after them. Even though Microsoft won the battle it cost them billions of dollars to do it and generated a lot of negative press.

Gates got the message. He donates now and suddenly there is no longer any issue regarding Microsoft. This is how things work in Washington. The power is in D.C. not corporate America.

Answer 3

Most of us are out to make a "prifit" therefore I'm going to say congress is more loyal to big corporations with interests in the war in Iraq.

The Daily Kos puts it at 91% and MediaMatters puts it as high as 94% of Americans who want OUT of Iraq. So what do I think?
I want to know where the hell these people are getting their numbers from.

Answer 4

Someone is making money with this war and I don't think it is the people,,,,,plus it is time to bring our men home.....
......the Democratic Congress doesn't have the guts to do anything but complain! and Stupid I might add to piss off our allies so we cannot use their air space, land or water passage!
...all they have to do is not fund the War, pure and simple if they want us out! but then if we get hit again, .....da,,,,they may have to take some responsibility...and we cannot have that....a Dem doing something responsible...please! and they have a 83% disapproval rate currently so don't count on them!

Answer 5

This is a false paradigm

You are trying to suggest that "the people" and "big corporations" do not have the same interests...when in fact we do

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

In previous questions you indicated that everything 'wrong' was the fault of Bush, now it is the fault of Congress? Again, please educate yourself.
