Dan - I have to point out something, re: "politcal contributions overall are already heavily weighted toward the Repubclican side. Do you dispute that?"

Yes. It is in dispute because we do not know about all of the political contributions (yet). We're still waiting for things like definitions of "controlling legal authority." <g> Maybe after the WH finds its you-know-what in another crack, we'll find out how much the Democrats really get and where it comes from.

Of the contributions we think we know about, that may be true in terms of cash recorded - but the accounting probably does not include all of the billions of dollars worth of "news" air-time devoted to misleading and scaring the bejeezus out of the uninformed public about the greedy, mean, "starve the elderly and children" Republicans, now does it?

Mr. K.

Republicans have to spend more to counteract the fact that the Democrats have the TV news and 90% of the press on their side.

Do you dispute that?

The Democrats spend more of the Federal Budget in order to buy votes.
70% of the budget is entitlement programs.

Maybe there are more Republicans.
