From PoliticalMoneyLine.com, here's a list of those corporations [PAC'S] that exclusively, or nearly so(90-100%), support only the Republican Party over the Democratic Party in financial contributions: Phillips Int'l. (100%), Cooper Industries (100%), Flowers Industries (100%), Harris Corp. (98%), Illinois Toolworks (97%), Outback Steakhouse (96%), ExxonMobil (96%), National City Corp. (95%), Wendy's Int' l. (93%), Anadarko Petroleum (92%), Timken Corp. (91%), Halliburton (91%), Meadwestvaco Corp (90%), Darden Restaurants Inc. (90%), Branch Banking & Trust Co (90%), and Int'l Paper (90%).Here's a few more in the 80-90% range: CATERPILLAR 89% J.C.PENNEY CORP. INC. 89% GOODYEAR TIRE 89% CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIRIT 89% SMITHFIELD FOODS INC 88% CHEVRONTEXACO 87% FORD MOTOR COMPANY 84% CIGNA CORPORATION 83% OWENS CORNING 83% CONAGRA FOODS 83% HOME DEPOT INC. 81% BAXTER HEALTHCARE CORPORATION 81% 3M COMPANY 80% See, if we had a Democratic Party leadership with some steel for action to change the status quo, they'd come out with a PR asking Democratic Party voters to stop going to Wendy's if they are going to only contribute to Republicans. Instead, we get the likes that are grateful for the 7% in crumbs, which is good enough to buy off their silence. Overall, the list of Corporations that give more than 50% of their contributions to the Republican Party numbers 254. On the Democratic side? There is only one Corp. that gives above 60% to the Democratic Party, CableVisions Systems at 78%, and 22 others in the 50-59% range. It's a 10:1 ratio in the number of corporations favoring Republicans over Democrats, but for the actual money, it's much higher, 25:1 or greater. The GOP has the corporations in their pockets writing the laws. The only way the Democratic Party can possibly counter is through having leaders that recognize the power of a million individuals nationwide being a part of a netroots/grassroots effort to reform the political system. |

That's because they want the republicans to make it illegal to ask for overtime pay, health insurance, disability insurance, unemployment insurance, fare wages, and job security.![[allamerican]](/forums/themes/default/allamerican.gif) |

Looks like you've lost this "fight" huh? Might as well jump off a cliff. Or...you can grow up and get on with your life and prove to be a useful member of society instead of the hate-harboring, bigotry-endorsing, mis-leading youth that you obviously are. Have you even looked at some of the names of these companies? Some of these are older than your grandfather. They were and are the founders of much of the industrial revolution throughout this company. They have provided hundreds of thousands of jobs to this country. What have you done...Nothing. At least I have served this grand country's military in europe, the balkans, and the middle east so that lil punks like you can feel safe and peachy. I have earned the right to my views. You should try and do the same |

Oh I didn't realize that you were the HR(Human Resources FYI) representative for all of these companies. Sheesh, once again you make one comment and apply it to every company on that list. Also once again you make this puny example of a statement supposedly representing the position of these corporations. One thing you will come to learn, hopefully, is that the world is full of "checks and balances". These c&b's will curb any excessive involvement with China and keep the job outsourcing to a minimum. America may be one of the youngest countries but it hasn't gotten this far out of stupidity, genius. The argument of requested tax cuts were only just that...requests. Have you ever heard of the phrase, "it was worth a shot..." Point and Case, your honor. |

Having views and opinions is a great thing. Just by serving in the military didn't give you rights to views. I served as well. This doesn't mean my opinions or views are any more important than anyone else's...Don't put words into my mouth! Exercising one's right is grand and a good thing. You are not wasting that ability by doing so. These rights come with a high price. I feel forever indebted to those before me who have secured this abilty for us all. You see Maistro, when you are very greatful for what someone has done for you you have a desire to pay them back, to not make their sacrifice a wasted effort. Even with my military service I still feel i should do more for my country and to see/hear people downing out founding peoples and organizations of our country without insight and investgation is inflamatory. Therefore I express my freedom to encourage that "someone else" to also realize that they are indebted to the very same freedoms they use and take for granted. Now you get me? |
