Here is the inside scoop. Most big shots give the big bucks out to keep liberals from destroying them. As an example, Bill Gates was a stingy contributer. Even though he was liberal, he gave so little that Bubba told Reno to squeeze him a little. It became an all-out war in the end.
Some big shots give it all to the the liberals and even pay them lip service just to leave them alone. Some look for favors. Some give to the opposing party, the GOP, to defend them. And some give to both sides equally. Have you ever noticed that? Giving to both sides equally?
Bush's contributions were largely a result of people getting completely fed up with the Terrorist Pardoner in Chief.
I guess you didn't see the Iran-Contra threads here. Before your time, I suppose.
He's collected more soft money bribes than any president in history. What do you think he's doing for that money ?
Oh, I see. When a conservative accepts soft money, it's a bribe. When a liberal accepts soft money, it's constituent service.
Hypocrisy is a dish best served cold, you know.
Now then, one man's bribe is another man's campaign contribution.
Where you stand, of course, depends upon where you sit. Be advised, however, that most of Bush's money was hard money. Democrats just don't have the hard money network that we do, so they go straight to the sewer money in trade for favors to be paid back at a later date.
Now please go back and try again. I know things have been getting boring over at DemocraticUnderground....
...what, with the ban on dissent that's going on over there and all, but you don't have to come over here and take it out on us. However, if you butch up your action, you might just be able to run with us big dogs.
Be Seeing You,

Oh, you mean like when Clinton took soft money from Enron and then set up deals for him in India?
