That is a neat tool from opensecrets. I was looking for that but couldn't find the right link. If you break your broad group down to Securities and Investment subgroup (which is what we're really talking about here) for the cycles from 2006 on you'll see that the Dems are on top. In the Senate, on average, by 100% on top. In the last decade the average Senate Dem has gotten, in some cycles, almost 4 times the amount. Your link shows all cycles going back who knows. I think what's important are the last three cycles to show where the bankster money is going. So in response, no, there aren't a lot of ignorant people here. If you're going to show facts don't spin the data you present. And yes, we are guaranteed to get a weak bill. I hope we can throw them all out in November.
