Follow the Special Interest Money - Link and Numbers
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 03:53 PM by eyeswideopened
I got this information from the following site http://www.msnbc.com/p/frame.asp?u=www.opensecrets.org

Courtesy of the Center for Responsive Politics

Special Interest Contributions for each Presidential Candidate by Sector / Industry
"METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are based on contributions from PACs and individuals giving $200 or more. All donations took place during the 2003-2004 election cycle and were released by the Federal Election Commission on Monday, November 03, 2003.

1. Super.
Now we're going to have to hear about how much Dean is kowtowing to the special interests of Human Rights groups.

How can this man defend us from terrorists?!?

3. Did you see the WaPo editorial
About Bush attacking Kerry for special interest money? It was great. They pointed out that Bush has taken something like 4 times as much special interest money as Kerry.

On what issue do they have ANY credibility? It seems their strategy is just to call the names and tell the lies first, so anyone who responds with the truth is always on the defensive.

And come on, an INTERN? These guys are the essence of unoriginal.
