For a mistake that was funneh.

The rest is old news. Companies have been hedging their bets to some degree or another for decades.

they feed from the same trough.

If you want to make sure you have influence regardless of the winner, you butter both sides of the bread. It's not about the party, it's about the winner giving them face time and positive consideration.

So one MUST assume you were simply horrified when Obama proclaimed he would have a BILLION dollars for this election, RIGHT?

Robert Draper Book: GOP's Anti-Obama Campaign Started Night Of Inauguration

Actually, I think we're all just numb to the low down, just short of all out treason, dirty tricks we've gotten from the most corrupt Republican party in our history.

I miss the old GOP.

I have no problem with unlimited campaign contributions to either party as long as there is full disclosure.

Care to compare Romney and Obama war-chests, since we're on the topic?
Or is that different, somehow?

The largest donors in the 2008 presidential election were the unions. Did you have a problem with that?

I didnt have a problem with it.

because its not true:

Goldman Sachs was top Obama donor - CNN

Top campaign contributors: McCain and Obama « Vivian Grant Farrell

I did however have a problem with how much money the Finance industry was putting into the election.

Here we go again with the bi-polar insanity of the left. They want to proclaim a national holiday when the DOW spikes during a socialist regime but any other time they refer to corporate CEO's as criminals. The left has been seething ever since the Supreme Court determined that money is speech and true to form they turn logic upside down. Even when they saw Obama pay off Solindra with taxpayer money they accuse republicans of wrong doing when they accept legal corporate donations. They give admitted left wing propaganda machines like Media Matters and Move-on tax exempt status while they rail against the corporations who make the goods and produce the services that they rely on.

Multinational corporations run by foreign nationals now have the legal right to spend unlimited amounts of funds to influence American elections?

Or better yet, just foreign interests? Not even companies. But organizations.

Or even Foreign Governments?

And youre ok with that?

I should revise my statement. What I meant was there has been more union money going into federal elections over the past 20 years than any other industry or special interest group.

So we got the unions and the financial industry (not to mention big oil and health care) fighting it out for top honors in manipulating government policy. Can't say I really care about the leaderboard. The whole game needs to be shut down, and it starts with the dealer.
