Is there something a wee bit fishy up there? Seems like the same people are financing the same “top three”, Is it me being suspicious or is it really true? By the way, these contributions are from employees of these companies that give and are “bundled” together by their employers. Are they being patriotic? Some of these corporations aren’t even American corporations!
Let’s look at the Military Industrial Complex:
Election Cycle 2008*
Total Contributions $9,307,088
$2,819,665 Contributions from Individuals
$6,487,423 Contributions from PACs
$4,861,181 Donations to Democrats
$4,439,327 Donations to Republicans
% to Dems 52%
% to GOP 48%
Why would the MIC give to the Democratic candidates unless they want to influence them?
What I’m saying is that there is no difference between which “corporatist” you see in the major parties that are still in this race, save the only one that hasn’t bet the farm, and that is Mike Gravel. The rest are supported (or should I say employed?) by the same corporations.
