Interesting research into political funding.

Schools I understand. but look at at Obama's other contributors

What are the time frames in which these donations occurred and what are the reasons Obama speaks out against them? Is he for business ethics, are they violating global standards, etc? What about the obvious banks/financiers here--since both of them have people who advise in finance, were they privy to the possible collapse or inflation of our economy's stability? Same questions for McCain, of course.

Very interesting.

Also, where are you getting these numbers? Just curious. You know how anal I am :P

I've seen those numbers, but they are the donations made by employees of these companies, not just of the companies themselves. In some cases, it's obvious bribery at work, in some it's companies supporting the candidate who will benefit them the most, but a lot of it is also just people voting with their money.

Also, I cannot support a candiate or party who says this in their manifesto

[josh_oakley]

Which is why I still lean more toward Bob Barr

Ah, debating third party candidates. I suddenly feel like we're doing what Americans were always supposed to do.

We're not supposed to just be political zombies, instantly responding to the every whim of our respective masters?
