And all of this ignores the basic logical fallacy in your position: If Loral had no trouble getting waivers from both Reagan and Bush, all the while contributing regularly to the democratic party, why would they suddenly have to contribute to Clinton's campaign in order to buy a waiver?

Sounds pretty weak to me.

JLA, I'm waiting for Dragonfly to back up his assertion. After all, I simply responded to a claim that HE made:

<<The waivers have been granted routinely to donars and non-donars alike by Republican and Democrat presidents.>>

I asked, "Can you name a non-donor that Clinton granted a waiver to?" After an afternoon of wiggling, he seemed to respond by asking me a question about my knowledge of Lockheed and Hughes. I took this to mean that these are the companies he thinks did not contribute to Clinton and got a waiver from Clinton.

Either his facts are erroneous or he intentionally lied again to this thread.
