1. He is a liberal Democrat from California, who opposes the President.
2. He drives for a car owner that gave so much money to Bill Clinton he got a pardon for a felony.
'Nuff Said.
the only campaign contributions I could find that Jeff Gordon made were to Kevin Triplett, a former Nascar official, who ran as a Republican for Congress in Virginia
Wrong. Jeff Gordon is largely apolitical, but is a registered Republican who does not oppose the President. When the Vice President was at Daytona a few weeks ago, Jeff was front and center next to the VP on the stage. Nemecheck and Shraeder were the other drivers immediately around the VP, because they drive cars sponsored by the military.
He drives for a car owner that gave so much money to Bill Clinton he got a pardon for a felony.
I don't know who Rick Hendrick makes political contributions to, if he makes them at all. I do know that one does not need to contribute money to a president's campaign in order to receive a presidential pardon. Most people who receive presidential pardons are not wealthy campaign contributors.
I also know that Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon are different people, just as you and your boss are different people. Additionally, not only do nearly all adult Americans work and play with people whose politics do not agree with their own, but millions live with family members who have different political views. It's called life, and being a human being. Get over it. There IS more to life than politics.
Oh, and by the way, Jeff may have been born in Californa and spent his young childhood here (yep, I'm from California, too -- lots of conservatives here), but his family moved him to Indiana when he was about 11 or 12 and, as far as I know, Jeff has never lived in California since. So stuff your anti-California prejudices where the sun don't shine.
