3. Opensecrets.org is the ultimate source of most of the BRIBE statistics

you'll see. And it is free and open to everyone.

For the industries whose traceable "contributions" may be influencing Joe Biden's votes, go to http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/indus.asp?CID=N00001669&cycle=2004 and you'll see finance and credit card companies were third on his list.

To explain some of the other Dem turncoats on bankruptcy,
http://www.opensecrets.org/cmteprofiles/profiles.asp?CmteID=S06&Cmte=SBAN&Cycle=2002&CongNo=107&Chamber=S&Indus=F06 shows who on the Senate Banking Committee got money from finance and credit card companies during the election cycle ending in 2002. If I'm reading the bar graphs correctly, the top three bribe-ees were DEMOCRATS, including Carper (DE) and Johnson (SD). The grand prize winner from credit card companies was Schumer (NY), who either stiffed his benefactors or has found a way to help them frame the issues in their favor behind the scenes. so that they win regardless the way votes on amendments go.
