[pinebox]

Ok, can someone please explain this to me?
Thank you.

BUT it gets a little even more fascinating too

[Beowulf]

1. What better illustrates DWS's and Hillary's Democratic Party

than lobbyists having a voice in the choice of the nominee.

2. Because the game is rigged in favor of her $pon$or$

[Hoyt]

3. You mean this Joann Dowdell who is fighting to win in a state that lacks diversity?

From her campaign web-site:

"What are the odds of an African-American woman being elected to represent the overwhelmingly white state of New Hampshire in the U.S. House of Representatives? Joanne Dowdell is taking a gamble to find out whether she’s got what it takes to oust incumbent Republican Rep. Frank Guinta."

[Armstead]

4. Is she a lobbyist for the Global Murdoch Fox News NY Post Empire?

Might that make a difference in who she might support in a vote regarding, say Internet access and control? Or anti-trust policies?

There's diversity and there's diversity..

5. Actually the media outlets are sidelines for NewsCorp

The vast majority of their holdings are in two properties: HarperCollins, and News America Marketing, the people who put those coupons and sales circulars in your newspaper.

[chascarrillo]

6. That makes everything OK then.

[Recursion]

8. Well, yeah: I doubt her job has much of anything to do with Fox News (nt)

[chascarrillo]

16. An executive with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has little to do with FOX News? Get real. -nt-

[Octafish]

21. Roger Ailes salutes you!

"It's like a charity around here."

[Armstead]

9. Rupert Murdoch is a horrible monopolist

He has swallowed far too many newspapers, broadcating outlets, movies and otehr forms of communications. And Harper Collins is a publishing company.

He has debased journalism and media and politics in countless ways. GLOBALLY.

I don't give a rat's ass whether some of that revenue comes from coupons.

[Hoyt]

7. And there is "lack of diversity," and Sanders' campaign and his supporters have bashed every

Black, Latino, etc., that has dared endorse Clinton or just not expressed support for Sanders. The OP bashing this lady looks like another example to me.

There are lots of lobbyists in this world, including: union lobbyists, environmental lobbyists, civil rights lobbyists, Medicare lobbyists, Social Security, food stamps, welfare, parks lobbyists, community lobbyists, etc. They are not all bad, even some who might work for organizations you don't like if they are bringing a new perspective.

[Armstead]

11. So working to advance the interests of a horrible monopolist corporation as a lobbyist is okay?

We want more of that in Congress?

Hooooookay.

[Recursion]

12. Who's the lobbyist?

I didn't see anything about a newscorp lobbyist in the OP. Who is it?

[Armstead]

13. Senior VP for Global Government Affairs

"Government Affairs" is lobbying

[Recursion]

23. No it's not. Though she probably hires lobbyists

"Lobbyist" has a specific legal meaning, and from what this says she doesn't meet it.

[Recursion]

10. Also, who's the Clinton superdelegate who's a lobbyist for NewsCorp? The image didn't list any

They listed an employee of NewsCorp who contributed to their PAC. Who's the lobbyist for them?

[BernieforPres2016]

14. James Murdoch of Fox contributed from $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation

It's all one big club, and we ain't in it.

[pinebox]

15. Bingo!

[chascarrillo]

17. Some folks here wouldn't have a problem with a lobbyist for Koch being a Hillary SD either I guess

It's only a natural resources company. Such crazy rationalization.

[pinebox]

18. It truly is....

[Ferd Berfel]

19. Not Sure why this is a surprise.

The Clintons sold the Democratic Party to the Koch Bros in the 80's. They've been buddies with the right wing elite since , for ever.

If Bernie can't pull this out, your choice is between a right wing corporate 'centrist' republican and an insane right wing republican.

What could go wrong?

[pinebox]

20. Many don't want to face the reality of what the party has become

[Ferd Berfel]

22. true.. and many

are disenfranchised republicans who are looking for a new Republican party. They have found it in this abortion created by the Clinton's, DWS, the Koch Bros, Wall Street............
