From CNBC, a MUCH more reputable source than you posted.
And "opensecrets" is any better??? LOL
This isn't a contest to see who is dirtier, they all are and THAT is the point.
You just can't see that can you? You think your side of the aisle is always right and squeaky clean.

What makes you think they come even close to the partisanship exhibited by Think Progress?

This should be good...

I didn't say that. And the Republicans are not my "side." I prefer Libertarians. I'd LOVE to see Bill Still elected in 2012.

The point you continue to miss is that Obama and the Dems are, BY FAR, MUCH worse than the Republicans when it comes to being beholden to the Wall Street banksters.

Think Rubin, Summers, and Clinton... Obama and his Wall Street bankster-laden administration...

Do you finally get it?

I have gotten it. They are equally disgusting and equally bought. The only difference is that corporate america has bought out the repubs.

Well, should we start with the present Treasury Secretary, Timmy Turbo Tax Geithner? How about the rest of the GS "insiders" that wormed their way into government?

Like...this guy;

How Paulson Gave Hedge Funds Advance Word - Bloomberg

How Paulson Gave Hedge Funds Advance Word

GS seems to be the wellspring from which these b*****ds rose into positions of power within the Federal Government...always watching the backs of their comrades.

And just yesterday, we hear Bernake is ready to bailout the EU.

There's no evidence that it's equal. There's plenty of evidence that Obama and the Dems are the worst, by far.

So Chromekitty... what's your evidence that opensecrets is partisan?

Here's what sourcewatch has to say:
Center for Responsive Politics - SourceWatch
Nonpartisan.

Here's what sourcewatch says about Think Progress:
ThinkProgress - SourceWatch
Definitely partisan.

There is no un-biased media in this country. That is no secret.
Why is everything a pissing contest? What are you out to prove?
Both sides are corrupt, bought and paid for. And the wrong that they all do is the topic.

No, no, but your side is so much worse Just plain partisan politics. Anyone making an argument that the other side is worse should have no problem in going along with a campaign finance reform amendment. I mean after all it would hurt the other side worse right?
