Who Gets Defense-Industry Bucks?
You'd never know this by reading the MFM.
Democrats have pocketed more money from the defense industry -- both individuals and PACs -- than Republicans have.
I read the Open Secrets page, and it says "During the past ten years, defense PACs have contributed $59 million to federal candidates, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics. Of that sum, 56 percent went to Republicans, whereas 44 percent went to Democrats. Recently, however, a majority of contributions have gone to Democratic candidates. Defense PACs contributed $14 million to various federal candidates during the 2010 election, and 55 percent went to Democrats."
