ORIGINAL: Owner59 Wall street... liberal? It must be an alternate reality thing.Or is today backward day? I can't talk to you if you are going to be stupid. Name the "conservative" brokerage firms on wall st. Go ahead. Here... September 15, 2008, 12:36 pm Financial Services Firms and Campaign Donations By MICHAEL LUO Both Senators John McCain and Barack Obama have benefited from hefty contributions from the financial services sector that is in turmoil right now. Mr. Obama has led the way in contributions during the presidential campaign from individuals associated with the securities and investment industry, receiving $9.9 million, followed by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton at $7.4 million and Mr. McCain at $6.9 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. But the industry is only Mr. Obama’s fourth largest contributor, while it is Mr. McCain’s third largest. Mr. Obama has gotten some $370,000 from employees of Lehman Brothers, which has filed for bankruptcy, and members of their immediate families, compared to the roughly $117,000 Mr. McCain has received. Individuals associated with Merrill Lynch, which agreed to be sold over the weekend to Bank of America, collectively are Mr. McCain’s largest contributor, giving nearly $300,000 to his campaign. John A. Thain, Merrill’s chairman and chief executive officer, is one of the McCain campaign’s biggest bundlers of campaign contributions, collecting more than $500,000 for him. If you weren't purposefully dumb, you would be easier to talk to. You KNOW Corzine was a huge lib and you know where he worked. Right? That is just Goldman Sachs but Bear Stearns was a pretty liberal outfit also.
