with major multi-million dollar contributions to the political parties.
Most companies hedge their bets by donating to both parties,
but most of their money goes to the one they want to win.
Examples in 2012:
| The Republican Party |
The Incumbent Party* |
- AT&T, Inc.
- Bank of America Corporation
- Honeywell International Inc.
- Huntsman Corporation
- Lockheed Martin Corporation
- Las Vegas Sands Corp.
- The Goldman Schs Group, Inc.
|
- Comcast Corporation
- Dreamworks Animation SKG Inc.
- Microsoft Corporation

of the Senate through a constant filibuster process.
