EXACTLY!!:thumbsup:

Doesn't Oprah have a school for girls in South Africa? Sure would be nice to have someone in a top position in government just in case she needed a favor.

If you need influence of ANY sort its a "special interest".

Have a good one!:s4:

Corporate sponsorship is far more problematic as their motivations aren't about left/right values, they're about profitting off biased legislation that affects workers, economy, environment, and free market.

---

Corporate sponsorship, Corporate interest & Special interest are 3 different phrases that mean 3 different things and are not inter-changeable terminologies.

"Special Interest is a term that the left in America has used to demonetize any one that they disagree with, Special interest is nothing more than Representative government.

What do you call "special interests" then? Millions of supporters donating their funds? Corporations? churches?

---

Yes, anytime a group of people come together to affect Government that is "special interest"

Quote:

---

Just the fact that money has been risen isn't necessarily pandering to special interests,

---

I already know this, you are the one who apparently believes,

Special interest = bad.

Only by the left, here I'll say it again.

I've never read any of your posts before, Ozarks. For all I know I may agree with you on many issues. All I'm saying is, this isn't a very good way to get your point across.

Perhaps you don't understand that words have meanings, & their meanings matter.

Why the fuck would anyone in their right mind wishing to gain popularity want to be in any way associated with that dreadful woman?

Vote for me! I WATCH The Opray Winfrey Show is a sure fire vote loser in itself.

Anyway I reckon she is just miffed that the first black president of America, if he wins, isn't going to be Luther Vandross.

As an English language teacher, I think I have that concept pretty well in hand.

Anyhoo - I drop into this section occasionally to comment on matters of interest and to share views and viewpoints with others, not to parse sentences with ideologues who can't see the forest for the trees.

You have a great day!!!

oprah IS the anti-christ. with great evil comes the possibility of great power.

lol P4B what is their agenda?

Also, I don't understand how ANYONE can think Oprah Winfrey's support would be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.

Do you not really understand just how powerful this woman is? I'm pretty sure she's up there for the Forbes richest people in the world for women, top 10 I think. She's powerful. People listen to her. This will help.
