Corporate America for their support?Notice how little critical opinion is directed against Bush and the Republicans by the media controlled by Corporate America.I think the tax cuts have been used to extract loyalty and a sort of Omerta from the corporate chiefs.

2. They are pretty much getting back the money they contributed to the GOP.

3. Remember to right-wing media buildup before the DNC and Kerry
Recall how the big deal over and over again on the part of the right winger media heads was that Kerry had to nail his speech, that this was his only chance, that he had to become more human in the eyes of the American public? Remember that? For weeks we heard the same spiel over and over again.

Recall that they are still taking about how the Dem's are really divided and just not showing it. Republican moderates vs. right-wing republicans vs. neo-conservative respublicans--no news apparantly.

So what do they say about George Bush and the upcoming RNC? Nothing, not a GD thing.

Disgusting

6. Nope.
They were a payoff to the rich. Corporate America always covers their bets and bribes, er, backs both candidates.

7. They were a payoff to THEMSELVES.
And a payback to their donors. It's a "give me the money up front and I'll pay you back 10 times more."

But think how much Bush and Cheney personally profited. They are profiting from the tax cuts AND the war.
