Democrats HAVE ALREADY BEEN BAILED OUT

Big news today about the bailout of the finance industry.

But what didn't make the news is that the Democrats have already had their financial bailout. They've already received multiple millions in illegal gains, shady deals, kickbacks, and contributions from all kinds of financial companies.

Yes, I'm sure Republicans have done similar things, but since Big Media covers every single detail of those things, and ignores these, we'll focus on these...


Senator Chris Dodd - Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee
$225,000 from AIG (who was recently bailed with U.S. tax dollars)
$165,000 from Fannie Mae (bailed out as well)
$70,000 from Bank of America
$21,000 from CountryWide contributions
$75,000 in savings from Countrywide "VIP" loan program, where he still receives a special rate on his mortgage
$4.3 million from Securities and Investment firms
$1.4 million from insurance companies
$1.3 million from Real Estate companies
$860,000 from commercial banks

TOTAL: $8.1 from financial companies
Now that Fannie and AIG have been bougth with tax payer dollars, I'm sure Chris Dodd will return the contributions he received from them, since we the people have now financed them.
