65. Oh geez, do I have to go over all of this with you again?
You've got the Open Secrets links, go look at them. Do you think they're lying? They flat out state that Goldman Sachs gave the Obama campaign via bundling. It's right there in black and white. This is the point that I proved, shooting down your original contention in your OP that Moore was wrong. He wasn't, I'm not, but you are.

Face it, Obama got a substantial boost, especially early in his campaign, from bundled donations that came from various corporations. We condemned this practice when it was done by Bush, shouldn't we condemn it when Obama does it? Hypocrisy much?

As far as the amount that Goldman Sachs donated in relation to the size of total donations, you obviously don't get how big business and big politics works. Look at that chart, Goldman Sachs was the second biggest single donor! Hello, you don't think that doesn't buy some influence?

Apparently you simply don't want to accept these facts, but would rather continue to argue around and around in circles, somehow hoping that the facts will change with each passage. They won't, so you might as well face the facts head on. But hey, if you want to "get a little angry", throwing multiple post temper tantrums to make up for your lack of a factual basis to stand on, hey, by all means, go for it. It provides great entertainment, and I'm not the one acting like a little kid stomping around and pouting.

But frankly, if all you're going to do is argue this around in circles, I'm done with you, it is pointless. So unless you come up with something to refute these facts that I've presented, I'll move on because I have much better things to do, like continue to educate myself. I would suggest you do the same, especially the part about educating yourself.
