Clawback political contributions


There has been a lot of talk about clawbacks for people who received money from Bernard Madoff. I think that we should clawback some of his political contributions. Specifically the $25,000 contribution to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Scroll through his list of contributions.... you'll see Chuckie Schumer's name A LOT. About 90% of Madoff's political buddies are Dems. This guy was handing out political contributions like Mike Hein hands out $100,000 Deputy County Executive positions. Must be nice to be a Dem.

Very interesting. The story being told by the media is that warnings were made to the SEC and the warnings were ignored. I assumed that we were meant to connect the SEC with the Bush administration. But now I am wondering if calls were made by highly placed Democrats to the SEC.

You can get mad about this if you want. But the fact is these names are democrats so it is ok. Congressman Rangel the tax cheat already proved he is untouchable.

If you want to cause an uproar find some Republican names to post.

i visited the website that they were taken from. this list is not edited. there are one or two republicans, but that's it.
it's a Democratic contribution problem. whether there is any funny monkey business, i don't know, but i do know it looks really really bad for the people that took money from him, and that they, like the investors that are being clawed back, should give back the money too

And this is how different from the Enron debacle....?
I'm certain if you looked at the contributions from those executives it would be highly Republican.
