Self-professed “loyal, conservative Republican to the core” Carl Ford has not always put his money where his mouth is. Over the past five years, Ford donated more than $3,000 to a number of prominent Democrats including John Kerry and Charles Rangel, according to OpenSecrets.org.
Ford has also donated to a number of Republicans, including President Bush. The Democrat donations include:
$1,000 Charles Rangel 8/12/04
$500, Daniel Inouye, 2/18/04
$1,0000 Jane Harman, 12/8/03
$250 Jane Harman, 3/7/2000
$500 John Kerry, 11/9/99
That would certainly explain Barbara Boxer's comments.
... of the Green Bay Packers?
I don't care how much he donated to Republicans. No "loyal, conservative Republican" donates anything to people like Rangel, Inouye or Kerry. At best, Ford is a career opportunist.
Carl Ford told the Foreign Relations committee yesterday, under oath, that he is "more conservative than John Bolton". That's in addition to claiming to be a “loyal, conservative Republican to the core”. But, in addition to the donations listed, he was also a staffer to former Ohio Democrat John Glenn. The man seems like a liar to me.
PING A LING FOR A STING!
BINGO!
Sure he's an opportunist---he wants to keep his job on the public dole, and since he doesn't know from election to election what party will be in power (writing his paychecks), he has to ---- which shows a lack of conviction on his part.
He is exactly the kind of person that Bush has instructed the new CIA Chief and Condi to weed out, I am sure...
They will play both sides against each other---you don't know where his loyalty REALLY lies, so you can't trust him!
Yep, it was a bunch of hearsay and conjecture from a guy who lied about his political affiliation.
Ford was complaining that Bolton wasn't PC and nicer with his comments
NYT had one of Bolton's .. but I haven't been able to find one of Ford's
nO- I haven't seen one yet--I would like to, but I usually see that OXEN IN FLA posts them--
LOL. I played against him in the high school playoffs. We won.
Hopefully the other Carl Ford loses as well. Go Bolton!
Nope
I'd rather research and out him

Carl Ford, the self-described “loyal, conservative Republican to the core” got his start on the Hill working for, yes, a Democrat. From yesterday’s testimony:
“I've been fortunate to work for some very fine, fine leaders. Vice-President Cheney, Secretary Powell, John Glenn — all of these people were examples to me of how you go about running an organization; how to be a leader.”
More from Ford, on his history with Glenn:
“I worked as an analyst for quite a number of years at DIA and CIA. And then was invited to take part in what was called a Congressional Fellowship Program, and I came down as a CIA officer to work on the Hill for a year. I was supposed to spend six months on the Senate side and six months on the House side. And I got hooked up with Senator John Glenn of Ohio, who was the chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia Affairs, at the time. And those of you who know Senator Glenn, he has a strong mind of his own, and he decided that I would not go on to the House. And so I spent a year working on his personal staff. Senator Glenn had gone out and saw the director to make sure that happened. And then he convinced me to work full- time on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. So I spent five years on the staff of the Foreign Relations Committee. And in fact, when I started, as many of you will remember, it was — there was not a Democratic and a Republican staff, there was one staff. And I think that that — those days are gone, but that was a — that's a pleasant memory I have.”
