In 2006, ExxonMobile contributed 89% of their political contributions to Republicans. Chevron game 83% to Republicans. BP gave 70% to Republicans, and Shell has historically given 74% to Republicans.
The oil companies want to maintain low corporate tax rates, low investment gain taxes, free trade, low tariffs and gas taxes, but most of all they want to avoid a profit windfall tax -- which would tax oil companies for making too much money at a time when energy prices are rising.

Honey, you are really out of touch!!!!!!
Check the Democrat Politicians' stocks.
Check where the Democrats get their money.
They are involved with every big oil company in the nation.
The oil companies gave thousands to their good buddy, Bill Clinton.
So did other giant corporations.
YOU ARE NOT INFORMED. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Yes, because it's how they make their money - supporting candidates who will support their greed and ability to screw people who depend on their products.
