This isn't shocking at all. What's shocking is that people still wonder why the country is going to shit. Not hard to do when the people in charge are pieces of shit.

I'm not putting any stock in this site or the crap in that vid.

We saw it earlier and went to CRP, their supposed source, and couldn't match up their claims with what's posted.

It's right on their site.  The CRP is basically opensecrets.org.

For example, they're claiming Luis Gutierrez went from 47K to 2.3M.  Then go check CRP and it's nowhere to be found (even the incremental years).

The thing is, the website is claiming it's their own "trend analysis".  WTF does that mean?  That took two points (none that we could find on CRP), and then projected what it might have been and might be?  IDK, but until they put up their figures and their precise methodology, I'm calling bullshit.

Open secrets is at:  http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/overview.php?type=W&filter=C&sort=D&ptysort=A&year=2004

Good call and thanks for pointing that out.  Without verfied data and published methodoligies of how they came to their conclusions for these results, I'm dsimissing this for now.
