John Edwards. :patriot:

Candidate for change my ass.

Looking at that list

meet Obama Nation....

A Corporatist by any other name...is just as bad as any Republican.

Obama never met a Corporation he didn't like, especially BIG PHARMA.

The last one is super fun!

I like that Actblue is his top contributor, but a lot of those names are the same ones that appear for Clinton & Obama (Citigroup, Skadden). I also don't like that he got so much money from Fortress Investment, his former employer. Basically, it seems like this is the way the game is played.

Republican Manchurian Candidate? Like the republicans create him as a candidate, so he can win, so they can really win?

This is lunacy.

:eyes:

Obama is NOT a republican in disguise, and he's more liberal then Hillary Clinton, and unlike Edwards still stands a shot at the nomination.

have just jumped the shark and hopped onto the crazy train.

I doubt he is a Manchurian candidate but his aggressive attitude toward progressive contrasted to his conciliatory attitude toward rethugs is a cause for concern.

HOW TO READ THIS CHART: This chart 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.

Using your logic, my multi-billion dollar company gave to both Hillary and Obama when I gave to BOTH of them last week.

Misleading post!

You are making your candidate look even poorer in some of our eyes, and that is saying something. :thumbsdown:
