Apr 17 2008 Corporate Lobbying: The Best Investment a Company Can Make

In the wake of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal in 2006, the media focused on the potentially huge payoffs from corporate lobbying.

The Washington Post reported that a group of 60 companies saved roughly $100 billion in foreign taxes after spending $1.6 million to help persuade Congress to lower the tax rate on foreign earnings.

[ikekll]

Fortune also estimated that Lockheed Martin earned a 150,000 percent (!!!) return from its corporate lobbying.

And just yesterday, the New York Times fronted a story describing how the Senate bill meant to help people in danger of foreclosures is loaded with tax breaks for businesses. How did those breaks wind up in the bill? Lobbyists of course

[ikekll]

Hmmm, Bob Schaffer (R) why did he run away?

[ikekll]

"Big Oil Bob"

[ikekll]

Dem, repubs, no difference...sad situation-members are forced, coerced to play the status quo game.

The Abramoff Scandal just won't go away with it fellas? No matter who you jail, who you threaten or who you kill, it keeps bubblin' back to the surface. Who else has "never met" jumpin' Jack? huh??

[ikekll]

Wait until "rumors," of more gambling "interests" are leaked!

[playaconga]

what is the story about Abramoff.

Why do republican run away so fearfully from any Abramoff talk???

Please educate us in youtube and on the TV talk shows please.

[paforbo]

f you think that sending our boys and girls to Iraq to get killed ( over 4,000 now) without a clear purpose and vision of success( what is success? ), than I guess you can vote for a war monger or an elite born with a silverspoon in their mouthS, w/ summer vacation homes, WestPoint brass connections for generations. No thanks.

I have more respect for Obama for voicing my concerns. And for helping the real poor in this contry.

So.."don't call me sir son, I WORK FOR A LIVING"

[chaffee0]

Another NeoCon slime shit.

even looks like Rumsfeld!

Hey Rummy, "Didnt you meet with Saddam Hussien?

No...never met him." Got to run.

[ikekll]

lol, that was a "rapid response!"

OT- US Making Secret Trade Concessions Over Internet Gambling by Karl Gregory Jones Mar 15th, 2008

* The US Trade Representative makes trade concessions to the European Union, related to internet gambling.

* The deal is not subject to Congressional scrutiny or approval.

* A US Congressman requests that the USTR disclose the concessions.

* USTR rejects the request, "claiming the agreement was classified for national security reasons."

Bob Shaffer thinks that the atrocities of the Marianas are 'good policy'. How can he think this will wash clean?

[eggnoggerino]

What a coward ... must be hung like a light switch

[midwestcharm]

That means he met him

[ambientdiscord]

all you can say to that is lol...

[historywillabsolve]

they're like cockroaches, you shine a light on them and they scurry

[ihatelifejosemartine]

I've never met him = I was involved with what he did, but I don't want to incriminate myself... bye!

[Venger26]

uh oh...he said Abramoff ...gotta run...

[RoyalKrush]

very smooth...

[mmace91]

Udall will own this guy in November

[Sinistertino]

WOW that was fast

[AvangionQ]

As part of the video, this needs to be directly followed by statements and/or video footage directly contradictory to the one Bob Schaffer just told ...

[IChoseTheRedPill]

i'm surprised he's been able to get away this long... hang 'em...

[crapo87]

"Thanks a lot guys, appreciate it."

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Ah, the ever popular "run away and hope they forget" strategy. Congratulations, Mr. Schaffer, by electing to pretend you didn't know who was sending you on the junket, you have chosen to represent yourself as a low grade moron. Good luck running on that.

[BrownstoneWalkUp]

How elegant.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Was that Ben Johnson being interviewed? I couldn't tell because that man is FAST ON HIS FEET!@#! Zoooooooooom!! Hahahahaha!!

$1,000 Schrute Bucks to whomever can find the picture of Jack Abramoff and Bob Schaffer together!!

[dogstar7]

Denver Post: 'Opponents "are trying to leave the impression that Bob went gallivanting off to the Mariana Islands with Jack Abramoff, who Bob has never met, never talked to and wasn't even aware was around back then," Wadhams said.'

So, Schaffer is technically telling the truth to say he never met Abramoff...but he's lying about not understanding who was behind the junket. Not knowing Abramoff by name is no excuse.

[nul003]

interesting.

[brc1246]

much more to come out about this

[GlossyiceIris]

XOXOXOXOOXOOXOX

[oldbaldy129]

Most politicians are so disappointing. Schaffer is lying with a smile on his face.

[notscooter952]

I wish I was from the states so that I could vote against people like this.

[MrMP81]

LOL WTF?!

He left before you could say " Veracifier "

[SubmarinerAndroid]

An obvious liar.

[mlf42]

What a liar.

[mlf42]

I live in CO, can't wait to vote against him.
