You are not seriously claiming that this is okay are you?
I imagine the outrage would be even greater if Bush were doing this and Congress was pushed aside, disrespected, rendering them unable to the job WE elected them to do.
How can Liberals or anyone else, have 'representation' as you claim, when those representing them cannot get the information they need in order to do so.
Global Corporations do not represent the American people. You trust these Corporations to do what is best for the people of this country? Seriously. Politicians are politicians, not a single one of them, no matter how much we may like them, should, as Thomas Jeffereson said, 'be trusted'. Not even, he said, himself! That was good advice. And especially when they are hiding something and asking us to just 'trust us'. Sorry.
Now if there is something else as egregious as allowing Global Corps to secretly plan the future of the American people, then start another thread about it. Then we will focus on that issue and express all the outrage it deserves.
