Reader comment on: Vanguard Endorses Obama, Democrats
in response to reader comment: Vanguard == stay out of politics

I cannot understand how clueless some people are. Vanguard (or any other big company) "stay out of politics!?!

Vanguard has had a PAC for years. It is a matter of public record. You can see who donates (all of the vice presidents....or "senior officials" to the person who comments on behalf of this site) and you can see who benefit from their contributions.
