"...give just one instance in the last 30 years in which your 'immense financial forces' have been happier with Democrats than Republicans."

At the the begining of the Clinton abomination, we (the US) had 9 (nine) major oil companies and they were involved in healthy competition. Their products were (usually) available at a resonable price.

After Clinton received piles of campaign money from these companies, merger mania began. The result was (4) four (I believe that is correct) major oil companies in the US, with Atlantic Richfield being bought and operated by British Petromeum. BP also owns much of our Alaska reserves.

Clinton could have stopped these mergers anytime he wanted, by direct action of perhaps just by publically objecting to them

Big Business now knows the they can pay-off Democrats, often very cheaply. Those pesky Republican are more likely to stand on principle and block such mergers.

So, when you hear about Exon-Mobile and other abusive giants, think "Worthless Willie" Clinton, they are his handiwork.
