[QUOTE="BlandOatmeal, post: 63726470, member: 137411"] I don't think the abortion lobby was in the same league as the banking industry; and in all fairness, the bankers switched once Romney got nominated, and backed the Republicans. The deficit was made up for by the U of Calif, Microsoft, Google, the US Govt and Harvard U. I don't have figures for 2008; but as I recall, George Soros and most of the world's richest people backed him then -- besides numersous illegal contributions from overseas, especially Arab countries (from places like "Ramallah, PA -- which doesn't mean Pennsylvania) Here are the final 2012 figures: Barack Obama (D) 1 University of California $1,212,245 2 Microsoft Corp $814,645 3 Google Inc $801,770 4 US Government $728,647 5 Harvard University $668,368 Mitt Romney (R) 1 Goldman Sachs $1,033,204 2 Bank of America $1,013,402 3 Morgan Stanley $911,305 4 JPMorgan Chase & Co $834,096 5 Wells Fargo $677,076 By sector, Obama got: Agribusiness............................ $2,067,055 Communications/ Electronics...... $20,723,578 Construction........................... $4,172,690 Defense................................. $1,141,130 Energy & Natural Resources....... $2,410,062 Finance, Insurance & Real Estate $20,431,321 Health.................................... $18,914,849 Lawyers & Lobbyists................. $27,959,192 Transportation......................... $1,378,606 Misc Business.......................... $22,598,697 Labor..................................... $494,094 Ideological/ Single-Issue........... $17,276,836 Other..................................... $91,795,660 Romney got more from the Finance sector, but less from Lawyers, Ideological Single-Issue, etc. I don't believe any of the above includes PAC money, which was an enormous sum in both parties SRC: [URL="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/"]2012 Presidential Race | OpenSecrets[/URL] [COLOR=Red][B]The bottom line is that no matter who wins, from no matter from what party, he or she will owe their souls to Big Money.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
