I've just come across this:
The Next Big IRS/Obama Scandal?Posted on May 19, 2013 in Liberal Kryptonite
Red Statements blogI don’t know if anyone is looking into it, but Obama has already tried to intimidate donors to the republican party.
He had planned to sign an executive order that would have required companies bidding for federal contracts to disclose to whom they contributed campaign cash to. He backed away from that when republicans in the congress made a huge stink over the practice. Or did he? After all, if he couldn’t make them voluntarily give him that information, is there somewhere else he could have obtained it? Like, oh, I don’t know, say, the IRS?
What a perfect way to punish a company for contributing to the enemy.
If the thought of disclosure scared them, they would halt all money going to the republicans, even if it was against their true beliefs. And if they didn’t stop the contributions, they could simply dry up the well by denying them the contracts they need to survive. Failing to do that by executive order, it would be a simple solution to get the IRS to search their returns and see where their money went.
Jay Carney, Liar 4 Hire, claimed that Obama wanted this information in the interest of transparency, so that voters could see where their money is going. Now let me ask you a question. Which is more likely? That voters will ask their representatives to find out who the contractors or that Obama would use that information to deny republican donors contracts. Hmmmm. Tough one, eh?
Has it already happened and we just don’t know about it? Consider this, in 2010, Microsoft won a government contract over Google. But Google has a long history of making donations to democrats. The bidding was declared unfair and gives Google a second chance to win the contract. Then, Microsoft made a large contribution to Obama’s inauguration ceremony in 2012. Coincidence? Consider this, the worlds largest software company spent 5.7 million in lobbying and was awarded just 4.6 million in contracts. After that donation to Obama, Microsoft was awarded a nearly 9 million dollar contract and another 36 million in email for the Virginia area and don’t forget the 617 million dollar contract. So with just these 3 contracts, Microsoft increased their government contracts by 662 million (and there could be a lot more) which means after contributing to Obama, Microsoft saw an increase of over 657 million in one year from 4.6 million to 662 million. Coincidence?
Will anyone look into this? Doubtful, although I am sending this information to several sources both in politics and in the news. maybe someone will attempt to connect the dots. We may never know, but readers of Red Statements will.
