It would've been interesting to see the breakdown by party, too.

This was the most interesting one.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas)

Terms: 7

Total raised: $50.5 million, 3% from FIRE

Top donors: GIs, meet geeks. The small-government libertarian's biggest givers are members of the military, followed by Google and Microsoft employees.

The same folks who own the electorate of course. The public is no less for sale than are their elected representatives.

You'll never completely stop corruption in Washington. But you can minimize it by voting for smaller government.

Both parties switching off every few years and spending all that money in a slightly different way doesn't work anymore.

If the government is smaller, has less money and power the corruption would be minimized.

....holy shit boxer at 75 Million? who in the hell would be that desperate? she doesn't even chair a comm. anymore does she? I think they stripped her off the last one she had 2 years ago...shes destroyed everyone else money wise...


I seriously thought Defense would own more than 7 of those yahoos...

One nit to pick, they should have somehow delineated the NEA and AFT in that chart aside from from lopping them in with 'unions'...

I agree, I think it would be most intersting to see just how many folks they've bought.
