Clinton Beats All Democrats AND Republicans In Total Dollars Received

[ClarkUSA]

In the oil and gas industry, Clinton is only beat by Guiliani and Romney in lobbyist donations received ($220,000). In terms of total lobbyist dollars
received, Hillary Clinton beats all Democrats and Republicans, at $567,000, well above John McCain, Chris Dodd, Romney, and Guiliani. Obama and
Edwards have taken fewer lobbyist dollars than even Joe Biden or Bill Richardson - an admirable fact for both their campaigns.

Here's the latest breakdown from OpenSecrets.org

Clinton
88% of her monies come from Individual Donations
1% of her money comes from PACs
56% of her PAC monies come from business groups (Approx $326k)
11% of her PAC monies come from labor

Obama

99% of his money comes from Individual Donations
PAC Money=<1% of his campaign <br>26% of his PAC monies come from business groups (only apprx $3k)
0% of his PAC monies come from labor
74% of his PAC monies come from single issue voters (only apprx $9k)

Edwards

99% of his money comes from Individual Donations
PAC Money=<1% of his campaign <br>4% of his PAC monies come rom business groups ($500)
52% from labor (6k)
44% from single issue (5k)

We need to change more than the letter at the bottom of the screen, we need to change the way Washington does business. That begins by cutting
out the lobbyists, and bringing in the people... I forgot to mention the SEC investigation that has opened up into a major Clinton backer InfoUSA, a
database company that donated $1 million dollars to the Clinton library in Arkansas. They also spent $900,000 flying the Clintons to various locations.
They also offered them access to an 80 foot yacht, and a condo in Hawaii.

1. what bothers me

is that Clinton has received more money from the Healthcare and health insurance company lobbies than ALL the republican candidates combined, and is the leading beneficiary of the Arms industry's donations as well.

3. It more than bothers me.

It angers me that she is playing the liberal Democratic base for a fool while all along she intends to remain until perpetuity a DLC
corporate Democrat/Goldwater Republican.

The Ultimate corporate candidate!

4. Seems like Hillary can't do anything right in the eyes of some folks...

Every dollar she collected from the establishment was a dollar less the Repugnants got from the same sources.

You could, I suppose, call that spin.
