Thanks for the post.
Remember since the Dems have ABC,NBC,CBS and CNN doing their bidding, the numbers really favor the Dems...
To: ConservativeStLouisGuy
Yeeks! Next time go to "view" "source" and then when the wordpad file opens up copy and paste it into your post.
On another note, I'm proud to see my employer in the "strongly Republican" column.

Beer me!!!;) ....], MBNA Corp [Note - recall us freeping these guys for hiring Freeh - did we get their attention?], Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu [not to rain on the parade, but they also support the Techno Marxist NGO, techempower.net], Ernst & Young, KPMG LLP, Blank Rome LLP, Union Pacific Corp, Associated Builders & Contractors, Southern Co, Wachovia Corp., Federal Express Corp, Natl Assn Insurance & Financial Advisors, GlaxoSmithKline., Americans for a Republican Majority, National Rifle Assn, American Financial Group, Cigna Corp, Eli Lilly & Co, Winston & Strawn
The Wimpy: Morgan Stanley, National Assn of Home Builders, Credit Union National Assn, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, General Electric, Verizon Communications, American Bankers Assn, Lockheed Martin, Credit Suisse First Boston, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, American Hospital Assn, Bear Stearns, BellSouth Corp, AFLAC Inc, Boeing Co, American Dental Assn, American Maritime Officers, Pfizer Inc, National Rural Electric Cooperative Assn, American International Group, Wells Fargo, Comcast Corp, Altria Group, United Technologies, Exelon Corp, HSBC USA
The Bad: Goldman Sachs, National Assn of Realtors, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup Inc, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Bank of America, Akin, Gump et al, Cassidy & Assoc/Interpublic Group, Bank One Corp, WPP Group
The Ugly: Time Warner (AOL), Assn of Trial Lawyers of America, Laborers Union, Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Carpenters & Joiners Union., Machinists/Aerospace Workers Union, Microsoft Corp, Teamsters Union, American Fedn of St/Cnty/Munic Employees, Service Employees International Union, Air Line Pilots Assn, United Auto Workers, EMILY's List, American Postal Workers Union, Operating Engineers Union, Greenberg, Traurig et al, Sheet Metal Workers Union, United Transportation Union, Viacom Inc, Boilermakers Union, National Air Traffic Controllers Assn, Ironworkers Union, Skadden, Arps et al, International Assn of Fire Fighters, Baron & Budd, United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Patton Boggs LLP, Metropolitan Life, Communications Workers of America, Simmons Firm, Walt Disney Co, Holland & Knight, International Longshoremens Assn, AFL-CIO, Amalgamated Transit Union
NOTE: While I fully expect the Marxist unions to support the Left, the true vermin are those commercial interests who are on my "Bad" and "Ugly" lists. Make a note of these, and realize they are, at best, two faced backstabbers, and, at worst, enemies domestic.
