Democrats with Courage

2005-02-04T06:15:00.000-08:00

As a pro-life Republican, I am always disappointed to see pro-death conservatives making headway in our party. Guys like George Pataki, Arlen Spector, Rudy Guiliani, Lincoln Chafee and sadly Catholic Susan Collins all go against their party on most pro-life issues, and choose to ignore the innocent voices in the womb.

As a Republican what I often forget is there are a number of Democrats that get "Five-Stars" when it comes to voting on pro-life issues. When you think about it these Democrats are being EXTREMELY courageous. Being pro-life in the Democrat Party can be politically crippling. Pro-life democrats were shutout of the convention in 2004, HOWEVER Harry Reid, a pro-life democrat has ascended to the Minority leader of the party. MAYBE this is a sign that pro-life voices will start to be heard with-in the party of the donkey.

Democrats for Life!'s website has a report card on voting records. On the Senate side these 3 Senators had a perfect pro-life record in the 108th congress.

The First "October Suprise"

2005-01-05T16:32:00.000-08:00

I am reading "Dark Horse, the Suprise Election and Politcal Murder of President James A. Garfield" , by Kenneth D. Ackerman. I nearly fell off my chair while reading about an event that happened two weeks prior to the 1880 election. A Democratic tabloid published a FAKE letter, trying to hurt the Republican nominee for president James A. Garfield. They investigated it themselves
and finally admitted the letter was fake two months after the election!

On October 20, 1880 The New York Truth (ironically the New York Times in 1880 was a Republican instrument), published the "Morey Letter", a handwirtten note supposedly written by Republican nominee James A. Garfield. The letter printed on the Truth's front page was intended to damage Garfield's standing with Pacific West voters and laboring men in the East.

Immediately Democratic Congressman Abraham Hewitt, and Democratic Senator and National Chairman William Barnum said it was authentic and begain distributing it nationwide. In true TERRY MCAULIFFE style, Barnum said, "It is General Garfield's handwriting. Denial is worse than useless." The tabloid stood by its story.

Garfield of course denied, but checking to make sure a subordinate in his DC office had not written something in his name, he had his staff check. Garfield had never heard of H.L. Morey of Lynn, MA, for whom the letter was supposedly written, and the views in the letter clashed with his own.

19th century bloggers noticed that the alleged letter misspelled Garfield's name, the signature didn't match Garfield's, and a quick investigation found no such H.L. Morey in Lynn, MA. The letter was written on House of Representative stationery at a time when Garfield was in Ohio.

Garfield did respond 3 days later, but the damage was done. Many newspapers ran copies of the two letters side by side, so readers could compare the handwriting. The GOP offered $5k reward for the forger's arrest. Several days later Kenward Philp (whose ghost told Dan Rather to run with his story) a writer for the Truth was indicted, but a court never convicted him.

On January 4th, 1881, two months after the election, the The New York Truth acknowledged that the letter was indeed a fake. By 1884 the publication ceased to exist, its reputation ruined by the affair.

We can all hope the same thing happens to CBS News.

Some Things Never Change.....1864 or 2004?

2004-11-25T08:07:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading a biography on Lincoln. If you look to the left on my blog, you can see a direct link to the book I am quoting from. Here are just a few nuggets.

Republican platform:
"Full Protection of the laws for soldiers of war."
"Economy and rigid responsibility in public expenditure."
"Monarchical Governments to beware of threatening republican governments."

Their main "moral values" issue (slavery) had been attacked by activist judges (Dred Scott.)

In August of the election year the Republicans were in despair and convinced they would lose the election, George Strong put it this way, "Our progess (in the war) is slow, wretched finances,.....but if the national backbone become diseased and degenerate into cartilage or gelatin we are a lost people."

Political leaders in the party, afraid of losing the election urged the President to contact the enemy and discuss ending the war.

At the Democratic convention they adopted the following platform:

the platform expressed gratitude to soldiers and sailors for their sacrifices, promised them protection and care, but they wanted out of the war.

Their Candidate (McClellan) was a former war hero, that some considered a traitor.

When things turned for the better in the war during the campaign, the Democrats started acting tougher. In fact McClellan took opposing views to the party platform, and the party faithful, and after we started winning again, he was determined to crush the enemy.

High turnout at the polls ended up being good for the Republicans....New York City went overwhelmingly for the "Party of Peace -- the Democrats (68%)" while the rest of the North went to the Republicans (55%). There were also threats of riots when they lost.

Republicans Vs. Democrats

2004-11-19T13:56:00.000-08:00

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet
him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air =
balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet =
above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and =
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much
help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you have no idea where you are or where you're
going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME
to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in
before we met, but somehow, now it's MY fault."

Remember Arafat's victims

2004-11-11T08:04:00.000-08:00

You are going to see a lot in the media today and this week about that monster Yasir Arafat. I would go as far as President Bush and say God Bless his soul, but I refuse to honor the life of a brutal terrorists.

From the Boston Globe article today let's remember a few of Arafat's MANY MANY forgotten victims.

Perhaps his signal contribution to the practice of political terror was the introduction of warfare against children. On one black date in May 1974, three PLO terrorists slipped from Lebanon into the northern Israeli town of Ma'alot. They murdered two parents and a child whom they found at home, then seized a local school, taking more than 100 boys and girls hostage and threatening to kill them unless a number of imprisoned terrorists were released. When Israeli troops attempted a rescue, the terrorists exploded hand grenades and opened fire on the students. By the time the horror ended, 25 people were dead; 21 of them were children.

Thirty years later, no one speaks of Ma'alot anymore. The dead children have been forgotten. Everyone knows Arafat's name, but who ever recalls the names of his victims?

So let us recall them: Ilana Turgeman. Rachel Aputa. Yocheved Mazoz. Sarah Ben-Shim'on. Yona Sabag. Yafa Cohen. Shoshana Cohen. Michal Sitrok. Malka Amrosy. Aviva Saada. Yocheved Diyi. Yaakov Levi. Yaakov Kabla. Rina Cohen. Ilana Ne'eman. Sarah Madar. Tamar Dahan. Sarah Soper. Lili Morad. David Madar. Yehudit Madar. The 21 dead children of Ma'alot -- 21 of the thousands of who died at Arafat's command.

Queen is exposed to Highland game
By Anil Dawar, Daily Mail
10 November 2004
Having one's picture taken sitting next to the Queen is usually no sniggering matter.

Particularly when it's an official photograph of the battalion in full uniform and Her Majesty is there in her role as commander of the armed forces.

But Colonel Simon West didn't appear to be taking the occasion too seriously yesterday.

In his cap, jacket and spats, his hands on his knees and his ankles crossed, he sat proudly in the front row of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, next to the Queen.

But unlike his comrades, he hadn't taken the time to adjust his sporran and kilt for decency.

So the kilt flapped about for all the world to see. And judging by the grin on his face, the colonel knew exactly what he was doing.

Onlookers said the Queen didn't notice what was happening next to her. But she does not exactly appear comfortable in the photograph.

She was visiting the battalion at Howe Barracks in Canterbury, Kent, to present medals after their recent tour of duty in Iraq.

Visiting Iraqi's

2004-11-07T13:13:00.000-08:00

A good friend and fellow Bengals/Reds fanatic worked in Butler County, Ohio on the GOTV program for President Bush. Check out his letter to the editor in the Enquirer today.

On Monday, while working the phone banks at GOP headquarters in Butler County, we had a visit by a State Department-led group of foreign visitors. Included in the group were five or six Iraqi nationals. When we explained to them what we were doing, they came over to all of the volunteers, profusely thanking us for what we were doing. A number of them said that we had sent them a "savior" and that they prayed for our country and our people. When they left, many hugs and handshakes were exchanged.

I'm not one that is prone to outward displays of emotion, but this was a genuinely moving experience and a perspective that we don't usually get from the American media.

Divided Nation?

Until the Democrats turn to the normal part of their party like Evan Bayh, Harold Ford, Joe Lieberman, John Breaux, and the like this map will continue to be mostly red. Stop attacking our Religion, stop telling us morals don't matter, stop telling us that killing babies in the womb is a "Woman's issue"

Majority of Americans are Pro-life

2004-10-29T08:10:00.000-07:00

I found this on the Democrats for Life Website.

Polls are consistently showing that Americans are becoming more pro-life. A December poll conducted by Zogby International, a respected nonpartisan polling firm, confirms that, by a 53% to 36% margin, the public supports the statement, "Abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter."

In December, pollster John Zogby teamed up with Brad O'Leary of the O'Leary Report to examine the cultural differences in states that elected George W. Bush as president in 2000 and those that voted for Al Gore. The poll also contained questions relating to abortion.

As previous polls have shown, a strong majority of Republicans take a pro-life position, but so do a sizable number of Democrats.

Some 68 percent of Republicans agreed with the statement that abortion "destroys a human life and is manslaughter" while 43 percent of Democrats in the U.S. also agreed.

The Zogby poll also showed that Americans are more inclined to support "restrictions on abortion" compared to five or ten years ago.

According to the poll, 22 percent of Americans were more interested in abortion restrictions, while only 11 percent were less interested.

Sixty-six percent said their views on abortion restrictions were the same as they were five or ten years ago. Since polls have consistently shown considerable support for laws such as parental notification, informed consent, and unborn victims legislation, the Zogby poll confirms Americans are moving in the direction of ensuring that sensible limits are placed on legalized abortion.

Other recent polls also confirm a majority of Americans have a pro-life perspective.

An October 2003 Washington Post-ABC News poll, timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the papacy of Pope John Paul II, found a majority of Americans and Catholics believe abortion is "morally unacceptable."

Some 58 percent of all respondents said they thought "abortion, when the mother's life is not in danger" was morally unacceptable. About 66 percent of Catholics agreed.

Only 39 percent of Americans and 30 percent of Catholics found abortion morally acceptable.

Is this a just War?

2004-10-27T13:56:00.000-07:00

I am a Catholic, so I get my definition of "Just War" from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

And before anyone starts screaming about the Church being against the war, don't preach about Catholocism unless you know what you are talking about. As a Catholic, I can have a different of opinion about whether I believe this is a just war. This is not like the abortion issue, where killing a baby is black and white.

from section 2309 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous CONSIDERATION. The gravity of such a decsiion makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time:

- the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;

- all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;

- there must be serious prospects of success;

- the use of arms must not product evils and disorders graver than the evil eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.

We can argue these points until the cows come home, but as a Catholic I can answer all these questions and still sleep with the decision that it is a just war. The Holy See felt like number 2 wasn't fully explored. I just think that 11 broken resolutions and a history of Saddam meant we couldn't wait any longer.

We also have to go on the information available at the time, (ie, Russia, Israel, the Clinton Admin, France, Britain, and Germany) all thought Saddam had WMD. The Blind idealogues on the left can't call Bush a liar, but then ignore the fact Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Albright, Putin, MI6, Tenet, etc, etc. all agreed at the time. I just don't believe they were all making this up for the hell of it.

Anybody who thinks that the Afghans and Iraqis are not better off, need to watch something other than CBS, The NYTimes and the Daily Show.

We clearly didn't start this war, Saddam and Islamo Fascist did.

Fearless Election Night Prediction

2004-10-26T19:07:00.000-07:00

How about this scenario for Election night.

Bush picks up WI, IA, and NM from 2000
Bush loses NH, and FL from 2000.

We find this out by Midnight, giving Bush 267 EVs and Kerry 265. Everyone thinks we are headed for a certain tie. AK is then called for Bush, and everyone in the MSM assumes HI will go to Kerry....they stall and stall and stall thinking their numbers are wrong, and then with a sad face and a destroyed heart Dan Rather has to announce at 5 AM EST that HI has in fact voted narrowly for George Bush.

GWB gets 4 more years 273 - 265.

The Hospital Window

2004-10-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same
hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour
each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his
back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of
their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,
their involvement in the military service, where they
had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window
could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to
his roommate all the things he could see outside the
window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one
hour periods where his world would be broadened and
enlivened by all the activity and color of the world
outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks
and swans played on the water while children sailed
their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm
amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the
city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in
exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the
room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque
scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a
parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't
hear the band - he could see it In his mind's eye as
the gentleman by the window portrayed it with
descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for
their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man
by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
She was saddened and called the hospital attendants
to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked
if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was
happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was
comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he
propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look
at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn
to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a
blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have
compelled his deceased roommate who had described such
wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could
not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just
wanted to encourage you."

Bush Trounces Gore in Electoral College

Kerry Excommunicated (Update: Vatican denies)

2004-10-19T05:36:00.000-07:00

I wonder if this will actually help Kerry politically? My theory is the Catholics that are voting for Kerry are mostly non-practicing Catholics, and anti-Iraq war Catholics. Among this type of Catholic, this move will likely make them sympathetic to Kerry. Obviously Rome shouldn't be concerned with political implications of their decisions.

Rome is very careful to point out that they don't endorse candidates at all, however there are some things faithful Catholics need to consider before voting. Newark Archbishop John Meyers wrote an article about this.

Among Catholics that attend church on a weekly basis (excluding the anti-Iraq war Catholics) a large percentage (70%) are voting for Bush, this will not change their minds. So even though the conservative Catholics that feel justified that Kerry has been excommunicated I suspect this will actually help Kerry polically. IF he trully is a faithful Catholic, as he states, this move would be devastating. Hopefully Susan Collins (R), Ted Kennedy (D), and Tom Harkin (D) will take note of Rome's action and start protecting innocent unborn babies.

Kerry said to be excommunicated

Los Angeles, Oct. 18 (CWNews.com) - A consultant to the Vatican has said Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has incurred the penalty of excommunication from the Catholic Church.

The consultant made his statement in a highly unusual letter to Marc Balestrieri, a Los Angeles canon lawyer who formally sued John Kerry in ecclesiastical court for heresy.

UPDATE: Vatican denies it responded to lawyer seeking Kerry's excommunication

Heaven or Hell?

2004-10-14T06:38:00.000-07:00

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit
by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems
there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these
parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can
choose were to spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the
senator.

"I'm sorry but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him
to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors
open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the
distance is a club and standing in front of it are all his friends and
other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy
and in evening dress.

They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the
good times they had while getting rich at expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar
and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a
good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
time that, before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator
rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven
where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the head of state joining a group of contented
souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They
have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone
by and St. Peter returns. "Well then, you've spent a day in hell and
another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then the senator answers: "Well, I
would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful,
but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a
barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends,
dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The
devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here
and there was a golf course and club, and we ate lobster and caviar,
drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now all there
is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What
happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were
campaigning ...

Today you voted."

A simple lesson on the American Tax system

2004-10-12T08:22:00.000-07:00

Tax Cuts - A Simple Lesson In Economics

This is how the cookie crumbles. Please read it carefully.

Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh $7.
The eighth $12.
The ninth $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

"Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20."

So, now dinner for the ten only cost $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.

So, the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six, the paying customers? How could they divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share'?

The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being 'PAID' to eat their meal.

So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man "but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than me!"

"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore. There are lots of good restaurants in Europe and the Caribbean.

Kids are so smart

2004-10-08T09:12:00.000-07:00

A teacher in a small Vermont town asks her class how many of them are
John Kerry fans. Not really knowing what a John Kerry fan is, but
wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands
except one boy.

The teacher asks Little Johnny, who had not raised his
hand, why he has decided to be different.
Johnny says, "I'm not a John Kerry fan."

Teacher says, "Why aren't you a John Kerry fan?"
Johnny says, "I'm a George Bush fan."The teacher asks why he's a George Bush
fan.
The boy says, "Well, my mom's a George Bush fan and my dad's a George
Bush fan, so I'm a George Bush fan!"

The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Vermont and she is a
liberal, so she asks, "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was an
idiot, what would that make you?"

Johnny says, "That would make me a John Kerry fan."

Viacom/CBS Chairman and CEO BIG contributor to Democrats

2004-09-23T13:34:00.001-07:00

First I read the Forbes Article where Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone states that "appropriate consequences for CBS News will happen."

Sumner Redstone the man that gives TONS of money to John Kerry and other democrats. And gives $2K to Republican Orin Hatch. Yeah, I am sure he is worried about Dan Rather and Mary Mapes making up documents to hurt George Bush.

Catholic Democrats?

2004-09-23T10:33:00.000-07:00

I have been a Catholic for 7 1/2 years. I have been a Republican almost my entire life. As a Catholic, I am so disheartened to see fellow Catholics support a party and politicians that are so depressingly pro-death.

I noticed today that the Democratic Florida Supreme Court has struck down Terri's Law. The Pro-Life law that saved the life of a Terry Schiavo. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,133285,00.html

Time after time after time, DEMOCRATS are on the WRONG side of the Life debate, yet I see polls that say 50% of Catholics support pro-death candidates every election year.

HOW can you recieve God into your heart, and continue to support politicians who support the feminist view that Life begins when the mother says so?

Allawi says THANK YOU AMERICA!!

Despite what John Kerry, Howard Dean, and Michael Moore, think Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi states the obvious.

"Today, we are better off, you are better off, the world is better off without Saddam Hussein," Allawi said. He added: "Your decision to go into Iraq was not an easy one, but it was the right one."

Viacom's Democratic Contributions

2004-09-21T13:31:00.000-07:00

I did a quick search on www.politicalmoneyline.com after reading this story http://www.nysun.com/article/1993.

On politcalmoneyline.com on the left hand side click on employment/occupation lookup, then in the search window type in Viacom.

You will see pages and pages of donations to democrats from Viacom employees. You will find almost NO contributions to GOPers.

For Example:

Mel Karmazin, NY, NY
Gave $4000 to Tom Daschle
Gave $2000 to Chris Dodd
Gave $2000 to Leahy for Senate
Gave $4000 to Engel for Congress

Dean Hargrove, California
Viacom Productions/Writer-Producer
$5000 to Kerry and Kerry/Edwards

Michael D. Fricklas
SVP and General Counsel of Viacom
Gave $2000 to Chuck Schumer
Gave $1000 to Tom Daschle

This is a VERY SMALL list compared to the number of Viacom folks giving money to Democrats and Democratic groups (ie. Emily’s list)

One lone Viacom sales executive (I won’t tell you her name, so she won’t be fired) gave $500 to Bush/Cheney.

In Viacom’s defense. They have formed the Viacom International Inc PAC that a lot of their employees contribute to.

The committee has given 50 Million to Democratic Congressional committees, and 50 Million to Republican Congressional committees.

Curiously the Viacom PAC gives thousands to individual congressional candidates, and in this election cycle, every payment has been to the incumbent, except for Barack Obama and Peter Deutsch in Florida.
