I was really surprised at these corporate donations to Tea Party candidate Mourdock

One would think that Burger King and Pepsi would not support a Teabagger candidate..dont buy many Pepsi products to begin with but wont be buying any now.I might add Pepsico also owns these franchises..Taco Bell,KFC and Pizza Hut..

Donors to Mourdock’s campaign include political action committees for PepsiCo, Burger King franchises, the Norfolk Southern railroad and groups representing bankers, dentists and orthodontists.

I would venture that almost *all* of his money is coming from outside the state, and from other big donors as you mention. Same with Pence.

Fishers had a festival about three weeks ago and a Mourdock volunteer was there with the gall to beg for donations. I was told about this (he wasn't there when I was), and if I'd seen it I probably would have flipped over his stand.

Maybe **this** election will be the one where people will finally see that elections can be bought. Not that most people in this state will care, what with Pence and Mourdock firmly in office.
