Furthermore, corporations ALREADY back candidates. Where do you think Bush got his multimillion dollar war chest from. Not the citizen. SO, maybe you ought to before you start talking about me.

Did I say I supported bush? NO!
You assumed. Remember assuming makes an ass out of you!
Where do you think Dean gets his campaign money, Clark, Gore, HILLARY!
Just like the rest of the blind little sheep...

I actually admire Dean, I don't like his issues, but his fund raising is respectable: his average donation is $87. (or something like that).
If I am not mistaken, the average Bush donation when he ran for pres. was $200. Now, corporations give to both parties, let's be honest. But, the largest of the large donations go to the dems.

Maybe you should pay more attention to your own party. You'll not have time to throw rocks, or even go to work, for that matter, Colonel.

George Soros just threw $10 million at the dems,
and, just look at this, Colonel:

Well on this page, 36 of the 100 donations go to the dems.... (I didn't count the 'on the fence ones')
The fact that the largest of the large donations go the the dems is irrelevant...

It's totally relevant.
The Dems get all their money by large donations - the GOP made a lot of money by small donations. Whereas, most Dems would like everyone to believe that the GOP gets their money from large corporations and small, individual donors don't give to anyone but Dems.
The Dems are financed by a few while average people throw their money towards the GOP. Which is what I like about the Dean campaign (and the Bush 2000 campaign): small donations.
