(10,622 posts)I don't care about your loyalties to other countries over our own.
What I object to is having a big money lobbying group purchase policies for your foreign Government of choice, my representatives do not work for Israel, Russia, Canada or Nepal and should not receive money to act in the best interests of those countries, I want them to act in OUR nations best interests instead.
Our government should not be for sale to foreign powers no matter how many people loyal to other countries think it should.
Stop pretending you don't understand the obvious. Perhaps you are a citizen of the wrong country, perhaps you should move to the country who's interests you feel are more important than our own.
By the way, of course I object to oil companies purchasing policies that favor Saudi oil interests over our own county's interests. I don't think multinationals of any kind should be allowed to lobby/purchase policies in their interests rather than the interests of our country.
Our government is not supposed to work for foreign interests or multinational interests, it is supposed to work for our interests!!!
