The website does show that republicans received far more than the democrats by nearly 2 to 1 from the accounting industry.

This falls into the trap of dim logic.

Donations to the accounting industry aren't illegal. The point is that democrats keep crying wolf with smear campaigns while having no clean slate themselves. If it was wrong for Cheney to say good things about an Andersen audit while at Halliburton, then it is wrong for Torrecelli and Shumer to lobby against changes at the SEC, which is the greater sin, BTW. Especially in light of today's facts.

Look, nobody's saying the Pubbies are angels, but it is the DemocRats who want to castigate the Pubbies as evil somehow while putting themselves out there as the guardians of the small people.

It's hogwash!

I wasn't drawing any conclusions that dems are any better than republicans. Republicans are more business friendly than the democrats, so it stands to reason that they would receive more contributions from certain businesses. Even though the dems receieved funds they are probably mad they didn't get as much. They need to stop their senseless babbling about haliburton and harken. The more the morons try to discredit Bush and Cheney the more damage the stock market suffers. I hope their BS comes back to bite them.
