Nothing better than a little cold, hard, truth

Fantastic. Just when every liberal in the mainstream these days is affronted with attacks of "well prove it" from conservatives that are out of ammo, a site like this comes along.

Follow the link and choose a sector or industry and you'll find hard statistics for monetary contributions to either party in a certain area. Which anti-global warming party is receiving the most money from big oil, health, and insurance companies? You guessed it!

So when Elizabeth Edwards called and personally requested that Ann Coulter stop spewing the personal attacking, hate mongering, irrelevant babble that's corrupting the political dialogue anyway and she asked that Mrs. Edwards stop asking conservatives to stop campaigning for the issues that they believe in, did she mean the ideas of receiving campaign contributions from the companies that would rather see our climate permanently changed, our lives further put at risk, and our "personal assistance" services become less and less personal for the sake of corporate profits and heavy payouts for the already saturated wealthy elite? Sounds like the man that every citizen would "like to have a beer with" would rather drink champagne.

Additional links: a little more evidence that the human impact is much broader than we all like to believe.
