[what's up]

Republican give to Republican causes and Democrats give to Democrat causes....surprise!

[smiley]

Yes, but it only counts when it's a democrat donation...if it's a Republican donating to a Republican...it's a conspiracy!

[PeterPrinciple]

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth received a $100,000 check from Perry, about two-thirds of the money the group had in its account as of June 30, financial documents reviewed by the Times revealed. In all, said other reports, the group had $158,750.

It would be interesting to know the current numbers.

Hey, it's a free country. Perry can do what he wants with his money.

TO THE LA SLIMES: Deal with it punks; deal with it.

I think that the point is that the LA times is a horribly biased paper. The author is making a point by showing the differences how the LA times "investigates" contributers between Republican and Democrat supporters.

You might think that a person giving such sums of money to political candidates and causes might want a little more attention. Perry doesn't, however. He "is reticent and guarded, and remains something of a mystery in Texas," complained the Times. (Translation: Perry doesn’t give interviews to biased media.)

Only to the liberal media is someone who donates money but doesn't demand access and political favors considered "sinister."

The Los Angeles Times is a hard Leftist newspaper. Its editorial advocacy makes the New York Times at times look like flaming moderates in comparison. When it comes to being faithful cheerleaders for the liberal agenda and serving as a mouthpiece for the state's Democratic establishment, they don't have any competition on the Left Coast.

Mr. Perry gives money to candidates and causes that he apparently believes in.

George Soros gives money to candidates and causes that he believes he can control.

Did they see how much Heinz/Kerry has donaated to moveon.gore?? Typical Stone-age press, attacking the messenger rather than the charges.

Holy smoke, Traitor John and his dem running dogs must really be getting desperate. All the stories about Hanoi John's medals being fake must be true! Otherwise, why would the crapweasel dems be launching such a full court ad hominem push?

Everyone with facts about Kerry's cowardice and his treason (while he was in the USNR) is being attacked and smeared. Every whine emphasizes that they can not dispute the facts. They can't release his records that would only prove that he's lying. They can't get forgeries or get them placed in time. Everything these scumbags say/do only proves Kerry is dirty, very dirty.

There is only one thing Kerry can do. RESIGN KERRY, RESIGN!!

"KERRY, APOLOGIZE, ASK FORGIVENESS AND RESIGN!!"

at noon today I just finished reading the August 11, 2004 edition of the Los Angeles Times Westside Edition and there were NO stories about the Swift Boat Veterans. Astonishingly the Los Angeles Times has missed the biggest bombshell story of the year! Imagine that! [this post is dated August 11, 2004]

One rebuttal to the attack on Bob Perry donating to the SwiftVets is that he also donates to Democrats....

Here is one donation, for example, to Sheila Jackson Lee....

PERRY, BOB
HOUSTON,TX 77234
PERRY HOMES/BUSINESS OWNER

Jackson Lee, Sheila

oh let them keep looking for THe Vast Rightwing Conspiracy (sp) it might keep them from doing any real harm. Like those scavenger hunts at camp and parties to keep the little ones occupied. I myself am shocked to discover that people will give money to causes that reflect their beliefs and values. NOT. Since the Left believe in taking my money to give to causes and values I oppose I can understand their total chagrin with that concept. By the way where do I get my "I Love The VRWC" button and banner ?

We each need to donate $25 to the Swift Vets to counter this type of attack. Let the LA Times try to spin 5000 donations of $25 bucks each!
