Dana Perino, idiot and hypocrite
Why Does the Obama Administration Want to Know Your Political Beliefs Before They Give You a Job?

By Dana Perino
Published May 19, 2011


While you were watching the political meltdowns...

Say you work hard and take a risk to start a business providing a good or service. The business is going fairly well and you decide to apply to get a federal government contract, because you can provide the result on time and on budget.

You’re totally qualified and the best person for the job. But, there’s a catch: In the past two years, you’ve given money to an organization that the current administration doesn’t like. You’re never told why, but you don’t get the contract. Was the decision based on merit? Or your donations?

.....(snip).....

Presidents have done this for decades, but rarely is an administration so brazen as to use it for purely political reasons:wtf:. In this case, people will undoubtedly be discouraged from donating to a cause or political organization that they care about if it isn't in line with the current administration, because getting the contract is much more important to their livelihoods. .............(more)

3. Dear RW political operatives of every stripe: There is this thing called the Internet.
This handy tool can provide information on past issues--like when your boss's Justice Department took a radical right turn.

4. Classic. What was the name of that horrible Jesus freak Bush had in the DOJ?
I can't remember her, now. But she was asking potential hires if they were pro-life, that sort of thing.

5. If your business gives to partisan causes

Don't be surprised when your business is investigated. That's it.

You won't be turned down for a federal contract. You'll just be catalogued as having made the donation. And that goes for FRIENDLY donations too, including the dreaded UNIONS.
