    Funny that your source also says this at the TOP OF THE PAGE!!!

    "This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates."
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Yup.
    Higher dollars for Obama,
    but more banks for McCain.

    Boy, you're delusional.

    You think that is what exactly?
    700,000 in 50 dollar contributions from 14,000 individual Goldman Sachs employees?

    Or do you have a problem understanding "FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S PAC"?

    Seriously.
    look at the stats on both sides of the aisles.

    Unless you think bank employees are just more politically generous.
    :rolleyes:

    Come on folks.
    Knock it off with the naivete.

    I don't think it hides threads created by the individuals placed on your ignore list, unfortunately.

    Why?
    Because all this unmitigated truth is destroying your wittdle biddy weality?

    PS - and there IS an ignore feature. FYI.
    Top of page, "USER CP", bottom left, "Buddy\Ignore List"

    Have fun censoring your own reality.

    I wouldn't see half of the threads in here started by the fearmongering DBTS. :D

    If he received cold eggs at Waffle House, he'd say there was a conspiracy that Waffle House is manipulating the chemical balance of chickens.

    The controlling elites swim around in their tight little controlled circles. Let's face it they don't like a lot of waves, and they like to see a big return on their money more than life itself.

    ooo science fiction...fantasy... yeah

    nothing in the world is connected...it's all conspiracy theory.
