Corporate PACs shift to the right - 76% of Oil & Gas Industry Contributions Go To GOP
"In the first quarter of 2010, corporate political action committees gave more money to Republicans than Democrats, an indication they are betting the GOP may win big in November."

76 percent of Oil and Gas industry contributions are going to the GOP. 63 percent of commercial bank contributions are going to the GOP. Is this just a coincidence as Democrats begin work on a comprehensive energy bill and financial reform?

They've always been reich-wing. Whether GOP, or DINO.
