"The sky is falling! 20 years ago she donated money to democrats when, as DeLay himself was saying the other day, Texas had a one-party system just like the rest of the South."
See post 615.
Post 615: It would have been an anti-Reagan contribution for the most part..
This was my response in 677 to 615: Texas at the time, like all southern states was a one-party system. Maybe her donation to Al Gore was more for business purposes than for political beliefs. That's how democrats operate, after all, donate to us or you are our enemy.
I don't know how Miers will turn out, but the "damning" evidence against her isn't that damning, IMO. Gore, at the time, was a pro-life Democrat. If the donation came when Dukakis had the nomination in the bag, it seems obvious that she wasn't trying to get Gore elected. Why is that an "anti-Reagan" donation? Gore was running against Bush's daddy, IIRC.
