ABC news is breaking down campaign donors by profession. No mention of the military though, since that would mean having to mention RP :-(

There is THIS mention...

Despite his campaign's financial woes, Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz., has pledged to continue to fight for his party's nomination. His presidential campaign may not have as much cash on hand as Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, but...

All of the professions they list are the incredibly wealthy. I would love to see a statistic of who got the most money from people making less than $100K per year.

This is the Man Bites Dog headline, the kind of story reporters want to jump on. Is it more exciting that lawyers are giving to Edwards? Really?

And we're supposed to expect ABC to give Ron Paul a fair shot in the debate Aug 5.

HOW Long are they going to hide the Dr.?

This is really getting under my skin.

I sent a message about this oversight to ABC on their link also. I basically said that since RP is anti-war and the troops are giving him all the money, that should say something about what the troops think of the war.
You would think the media would jump all over this since they are against the war as well.

I hope someone is compiling a master list of all these ridiculous MSM snubs.

When RP wins the nomination and we tell people we did it despite the MSM working against us - it would be nice to be able to whip out the 50+ page listing of examples. :D
