Do you know what the MS in MSNBC stands for?
Pretty heave dose of kool aid there for you. As a matter of fat can you name one major old line corporation that does not donate to whomever is in power. Apple was a big supporter of Bill Clinton, they nearly went broke during that period.
Bill Gates is trying to give his billions along with his friends billions, to the UN. That idiot Ted Turner who was once considered too right wing to own one of the big three broadcasting companies, created CNN and became a loonie lefty, who wants to go duck hunting with Castro.
I already named Dell. I agree that corporations tend to make political donations to the powers that be.
Having someone like Al Gore sitting on your Board of Directors is a different proposition, IMHO. You're free to disagree, and even to argue that he's a wonderful guy and you love having him there, if you wish.
