I've been researching the flip flops since the beginning of the race, and I have been sorrily disappointed with almost all of the candidates with the exception of a few.

If you dont want to vote for Democrats or Republicans, thats all fine and dandy, but I dont think we need to hear this constant whining of the two parties every freakin day,
Its your choice to vote "other" but there is a vast majority of people who prefer the parties they support right now.
This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
While its not the main topic at hand, you still made false statements. I corrected you and its more than fair to do so.

But, honestly... If you had taken the time to read my post and that's all you derived from it, than you missed it by a mile. We can run over the semantics all you want, but I was hoping for "more."
At least more than that.
I think the saddest thing about all this is that the majority of the citizenry cannot see through the used-car salesman act of both these clowns.

You are comparing a good source with a show created for entertainment? Its common knowledge media outlets dont cover all the facts. They will say anything to keep you glued to the TV.
