As we’ve said, focusing on campaign contributions is simply lazy, gratuitous, biased reporting:

A study by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington found Gutiérrez 11th among Congressional recipients of campaign donations from the payday-loan industry. The study says Gutiérrez accepted $18,500 dollars from the industry during the last election cycle.

So?  How much money did he raise in total?   How much money did banks and credit unions give him?
