Funding "both" sides?
Sounds like a big part of USA's two party illusion.

Yup, that.

Nothing's new here. Remember that all motion is relative, and that the appearance of motion is entirely dependant on the perspective of the observer.

Don't be fooled, this administration is no more/less corrupt, greedy, or subversive than the last (or the one before that, or the one before that). Need I point to Watergate, Iran Contra, Whitewater, warrantless wiretapping, etc., etc., ad infinium, ad nauseum.

They're all corrupt, and they always will be.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's human nature.

Indeed. Looks like GS was hedging their bets - they gave $230,000 to McCain's campaign as well: http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/co...&cid=n00006424

University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Time Warner $590,084

Top Contributors for McCain
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095

Except for that UCA thing. I'd love to know more about that. Thats a hellua lot of money.

So while the politico's are busy berating Goldman and demonizing them they still take money from them.
