68. You rely on unprovable, conspiratorial assumptions and accuse me of naivete?

And you also are willfully ignoring your own ability to comprehend what you read.

I showed that there were only 3 (correction actually it was only 2) bundles of bundled donations to the Obama campaign from Goldman Sachs and it didn't amount to pennies. It was 130,000 total. I know thats inconvenient for the argument you are trying to make, but those numbers don't lie.

If you actually believe that a million dollars, in this day and age, has a substantial amount of influence in a nationwide presidential campaign, you are sincerely out of touch with the value of money these days. Regardless, that million dollar number STILL doesn't matter because the fact remains that Goldman Sachs employs over 30,000 individuals, alot of them in Democratic leaning New York and so OF COURSE they are going to donate money to the Democratic Presidential candidate. That pathetic little red herring will never fly, no matter how much you desperately try to push it off the limb.

The fact that you bring up PACs is laughable. PAC money contributed to the Obama campaign was less than what I get in one bi weekly paycheck and I'm about as middle class as it gets.

The only person that needed educated here was you because you have thus far been unable to accurately read these contribution numbers, as has been proven. You've been unable to refute any of the factual contradictions that have been pointed out regarding your statements.
