Here's an article about American
corporations that donate only to Republican candidates-and-causes - http://mydd.com/2004/11/24/republican-only-corporate-contributors
Excerpt: From PoliticalMoneyLine.com, here's a list of those corporations [PAC'S] that
exclusively, or nearly so(90-100%), support only the Republican Party over the
Democratic Party in financial contributions. (I've highlighted the
"obvious" companies to avoid.)
Phillips Int'l. (100%)
Cooper
Industries (100%)
Flowers Industries (100%)
Harris Corp. (98%)
Illinois Toolworks (97%)
Outback
Steakhouse (96%)
ExxonMobil
(96%)
National City Corp.
(95%)
Wendy's Int'
l. (93%)
Anadarko Petroleum (92%)
Timken Corp. (91%)
Halliburton (91%)
Meadwestvaco Corp (90%)
Darden Restaurants Inc.
(90%)
Branch Banking &
Trust Co (90%)
Int'l Paper (90%)
Here's a few more in the
80-90% range:
J.C.PENNEY CORP. INC. 89%
GOODYEAR TIRE 89%
CONOCOPHILLIPS SPIRIT 89%
SMITHFIELD FOODS INC 88%
CHEVRONTEXACO 87%
FORD MOTOR COMPANY 84%
CIGNA CORPORATION 83%
OWENS CORNING 83%
CONAGRA FOODS 83%
HOME DEPOT INC. 81%
BAXTER HEALTHCARE CORPORATION 81%
3M COMPANY 80%
Excerpt: "Overall, the list of Corporations that
give more than 50% of their contributions to the Republican Party numbers 254.
On the Democratic side? There is only one Corporation that gives above 60% to the
Democratic Party, CableVisions Systems at 78%, and 22 others in the 50-59%
range. It's a 10:1 ratio in the number of corporations favoring Republicans
over Democrats, but for the actual money, it's much higher, 25:1 or
greater."
Here's another view of Corporate political donations.
