I could be, but I reread it again and get the same results:
'1 ActBlue
2 AT&T Inc
3 American Fedn of State, County & Municipal Employees
4 National Assn of Realtors
5 Goldman Sachs
6 American Assn for Justice
7 Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
8 National Education Assn
9 Laborers Union
10 Teamsters Union'
Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2010 | OpenSecrets
According to your site, of top ten donors, only 1 corporate donor gave more to Democrats than Republicans during the last 20 years.
Are you trying to test my patience? REREAD AGAIN, and this time (forgive me), wear your glasses and view the ENTIRE chart. You see that little legend at the top? There's a symbol that represents a "on the fence" which means the company contributes about evenly to both parties (though to be fair, AT&T does contribute about 55% to Reps and 45% to Dems and Nat. Assn of Realtors contributes about 51% to Reps and 49% to Dems). There's a symbol of a donkey that represents the democrat party, and finally there's a symbol of an elephant that represents republicans. NOW, take an even closer look. Look at the column that is labeled "tilt." Do you see all the donkeys? Do you see even a single elephant in that column for the top ten? In fact, you don't see your first elephant until you get down to #18. So, the top 17 groups, with the exception of four who are considered "on the fence", have consistently spend more (WAY MORE) in favor of the democrat party as opposed to the republican party.
FAILURE.
