In the 2004 election the most partisan industries were as follows.

Big Oil for the republicans: They contributed just over 20.6 million with over 80% going to the republicans.

Lawyers and Law firms for democrats: They contributed just over 137 million with over 75% going to the dems.

Now the media loves to portray the dems as being for the small guy. The facts seem to point in a much different direction.

So, should Mitch just change the name of this forum to the Political Forum?

No more threads about politics. Read the rules. Protest to Mitch is this displeases you.
