Does this tell us of one year or of total careers?

We speak of 'dark money' in politics; it is time to viral-ize the the 'red money' in society.

Red money flows through and stains many hands in many 'legitimate' businesses selling satisfactions to succor the desires of those who simply like-love the killing-machines. Guns as arms is not a spinoff-technology from some ancient, fun-loving hobbyist activity.

Wonder if the amount is correct, if it is it would be great to find out what he delivered in return. After all, these are all quid pro quo. Mitch must be upset that he got less than Mitt.

You need the help from the Law of Large Numbers to make that work.

It seems like much more money than could be derived from the dues of NRA members.

I think the NRA has become a one-stop shop for lobbyists foreign and domestic who seek to influence or bribe U.S. politicians.

It _could_ be real US greebacks, but I'll bet a lot of (r)epuglicon funding comes from counterfeited bills.

Their pockets are deep considering they are supposedly on the verge of bankruptcy.
