Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, a prodigious fundraiser who will campaign today in California, is partner in a law firm [Bracewell & Giuliani] with a generous political action committee -- one that gave nearly 40 percent of its contributions to Democrats in the 2006 midterm elections, including $5,000 to then-Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco.
Bracepac contributed to 53 Democratic candidates and 50 Republicans in the 2006 election cycle, federal records show. In California, Bracepac donations went mostly to Democrats, although the political action committee also contributed $2,500 to Pombo and $3,500 to Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands (San Bernardino County), who was the chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee until Democrats took control of the House.-snip-

Strange bedfellows.
He is buying chips - in case he wins heh heh heh
What about the “Grassy Knowl” ?
Can anyone account for Rudy’s where abouts on that fateful day?
Yuk Yuk
Giving to both sides is one thing- many donors do it. But 40%?!?!?! This from a (R) presidential contender? After someone is finished justifying to me his support of abortion, maybe they can then explain this.
Not a big surprise. A lot of donors do this exact same thing - give to both sides. People who do this are buying insurance for favorable votes for their pet issues. Nothing surprising about it, really.
And he’s running under the Republican ticket...
$5,000 to Pelosi...isn’t that special.
I understand, but with this close a ratio?
And he is prepping his future cabinet.
Yes. I don’t remember where it is (online somewhere), but there’s a list floating around listing off presidential campaign contributons on 2004 by prominant people and businesses. Rush, Boortz, and Doyle have all read portions of it on thier respective shows, and some of the margins are astonishing.
And Rudy with Judi pretends they’re pubs. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
