Casey is a Rush fan as well.
DUmmies will love it.
Not Big Time....she gave to Rick Lazio....
So, Betty Casey is a Dittohead Philanthropist. LOL
Betty Casey appears to like purchasing tchotchkes
It is now 1:15 PM and not a peep!
I have a screen shot of the auction with 7 seconds left. Ebay did not break.
Looks like she is an actual real live Republican for Obama, going by her donation history.
Either that or she just really dislikes Hillary.
Obama? But she likes Pubbie Senators...

District's Mayoral Mansion Scuttled Casey Foundation Donates NW Site To Salvation Army
Excerpt:
A private foundation abandoned a plan to build a $50 million mayoral mansion in the District after 21/2 years and donated the land to the Salvation Army yesterday, shocking city leaders and residents who had been fiercely divided over the project.
Officials for the Eugene B. Casey Foundation said the organization's leader, Betty Brown Casey, decided that giving the 16.5 acres of prime Northwest Washington real estate to the Salvation Army would be more beneficial than using it for an official residence for the city's mayor.
Salvation Army leaders, who also were surprised by the gift, said they intend to sell the land in the Foxhall neighborhood, valued at $11 million by the city's tax assessors, to the highest bidder and use the money to build a community center in Anacostia.
"Everyone thought the mansion was a great idea, a great facility for the mayor," said Brendan Sullivan, an attorney representing the Casey Foundation. "But if you balance that on one hand against the good a community center will do for literally hundreds, even thousands, in this [Anacostia] community -- well, a better idea just came along."
The decision stunned city leaders, who had generally supported the project since February 2001, when the Casey Foundation proposed building a mansion for the city's mayor similar to New York City's Gracie Mansion.
"In a word, I'm outraged," said D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large). "A lot of people spent a lot of time and effort that's just gone down the hole."
GOD BLESS RUSH AND BETTY CASEY!
Hillary or Bill is not on her list....
Indeed he is.
God Bless Betty Casey!!! 20 year Dittohead!! LOL. She deserves the prize!
I saw that and was just about to post this too. But she also donates to the GOP. It may be a way to shield her political stand..who knows. I hope she is not really backing Obama..
I wonder how many conservatives donate to libs to keep the Red Queen from being the nominee?
Where do you get “Bigtime” democrat?
She gave a few thousand to Obama and the rest of the page is Republicans, including Republican Senatorial Committee, Rick Lazio (ran against Hillary in NY), Guiliani and a Republican GA Congresswoman
WE BROKE EBAY!
Good point...she may just be against Hillary.
Perhaps she’s not a loon.
She stepped up to the plate!
BTW, Rush is touching on a broader point.
He encouraged all of us to donate in $5 AND $10 dollar increments and provided the means to do so.
It will be interesting to see how much was raised via millions of small contributions and will Dingy Harry be held to matching the entire haul?
“Red Queen” LOL!!
