What's with Anderson Cooper giving to an (R)?
Momentary lapse of reason.....

[dissention]

What's with Anderson Cooper giving to an (R)?

It's Rick Elser from CT, I wouldn't be alarmed; probably a Yale buddy. He got his ass kicked when he ran, I think he got less than 25% of the vote. His platform kind of sucked; he concentrated on economic issues and very little else. Didn't seem very bright to me.

[dissention]

mmm. I figured it was something like that. I mean, he's got to have tons of rich friends and stuff.

I think that's part of the reason why Elser lost, because he was so rich. :laugh: I remember his campaign was making statements about how he was a member of this country club and that country club. Not the kind of **** you want to publicize when you're running on an "I'm for the poor" platform. :laugh:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

not a reporter or political person...

I'm so happy!!!

That's alright, Kate Jackson was always my favorite Angel.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

That's alright, Kate Jackson was always my favorite Angel.

She is a great actress! I like them both though!

Kate should have quit angels and taken the role for the movie that eventually earned Ms. Streep an acadamy award! DAMN. If only Kate could have done it...perhaps Ms. Streep would still be sitting her a*s at home right now!!!

[Brwn_eyes0511]

this too...wow...

http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Heather_Locklear.php

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Uh...yeah...I'm sure Meryl would have nothing without that role.

I said "perhaps"...a guy can wish right? lol

I wouldnt really consider Amy Grant a celeb

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I wouldnt really consider Amy Grant a celeb

A person in the public eye is not a celeb? And not to mention the huge amounts of mone she has given to the republican party!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I guess I never thought of a Christian singer being in the "public eye"
but i guess she has branched out into secular music now huh

Yes they usually all do give up on Jesus when the money comes in

Chris

[dissention]

Chris

Ho****. :lol:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Yes they usually all do give up on Jesus when the money comes in

Chris

Hey, that's unfair! Amy has by no means "given" up on Jesus. Her new album is a hymns record (as you can see in my sig.). She had success long before her "Baby Baby" years. She has been a recording artist since 1976.

[dissention]

Arianna Huffington

Thankfully she's seen the light, though. I love her. Even when she was a Republican.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Not to be picky or anything but Amy Grant has sold 16.5 million albums in the USA...

Chris

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Well I would ask Amy WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? as I often ask myself.. :D


I wonder if Amy tithes 10% of her earnings to Jesus?

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

25 world wide!

I dunno about that...but I will let you have it anyway

[dissention]

I'd ask her if Jesus would have donated to the Bush campaign.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

meaning???


I wonder if Amy tithes 10% of her earnings to Jesus?

Well that is personal information, but I'm sure she does to her current chruch...which she does have one I know.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I'd ask her if Jesus would have donated to the Bush campaign.

Well of course! :D

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Well of course! :D


Jesus is a liberal

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I dunno about that...but I will let you have it anyway

No...I mean she really has! (No one ever wants to believe me...even about artist that I LOVE)! LOL

It has been stated MANY TIMES before.

Also it was calculated up that...In the last 25 years more people have heard about the gospel, whether through spoken word or song, from Amy more than anyone else on the planet except Billy Graham and The Pope. I thought that was a rather interesting factoid.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Jesus is a liberal

Oh dear Lord help us all....

And let's not start a debate because it will lead nowhere and will not convince anyone of anything!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Yes that is kind of interesting.. I would venture to say that people might get more out of listening to her than the Pope or Billy Graham anyway

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Debates arent really to convince anyone of anything are they? I mean cmon..atleast not in an online forum..we just love to argue

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Chris

I guess it depends on how a person is spiritually driven? Some are brought closer to a spiritual understanding by music...and some by spoken word.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Believe it or not I donated to the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2003...ha..I was sadly misguided for many years! :eek:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Well yea that's true. But not about something like this! I mean half of the people here don't even believe that a man named Jesus even existed...so, really there is no point .

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I always imagined the "J" dude as an Independent since he could easily give the 'holy bird' to both sides :lol:

Well true. Some people here, although they dont believe it, have a lot of knowledge about the bible though.

[gldstwmn]

I also look around on the sites that show celebrities and other peoples' political donations. I thought I would share, for those who dont know, who the journalist and reporters are donating to :

Lou Dobbs - $1000 01/04/01 Bush-Cheney 2000 Compliance Committee

Nancy Grace - $1000 10/21/99 Hillary Rodham Clinton for Senate



I'm a little surprised by Nancy Grace. :shocked: You notice Lou Dobbs didn't contribute to W in '04? That speaks volumes.

[gldstwmn]

What's with Anderson Cooper giving to an (R)?

It was a long time ago. :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

Thankfully she's seen the light, though. I love her. Even when she was a Republican.

She ran as an Independent for governor of California, no?

[gldstwmn]

Believe it or not I donated to the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2003...ha..I was sadly misguided for many years! :eek:

Did we help save you Chris? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

That's because Chris? Kicks ass. :thumbsup:

Thank you sweetheart. :xoxo: It's all for the greater good. :nod:

Absolutely. :wavey:

Aw, schucks. :xoxo: :wavey:

[SuzeQuze]

That's because Chris? Kicks ass. :thumbsup:

:nod: It warms my heart to see the converts you two have helped make. :)

[dissention]

I'm a little surprised by Nancy Grace. :shocked: You notice Lou Dobbs didn't contribute to W in '04? That speaks volumes.

I think Lou saw the light with all of his coverage of outsourcing and Shrub's economic policies.

[dissention]

She ran as an Independent for governor of California, no?

I believe so. :nod: If you go back and read her speeches and articles from when she was a Republican, she was an odd bird; a Republican in name only. She wasn't socially conservative or economically conservative at all.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I'm a little surprised by Nancy Grace. :shocked: You notice Lou Dobbs didn't contribute to W in '04? That speaks volumes.


I was surprised by Nancy also...I love her, although I always assumed her to be conservative.

Chris

[gldstwmn]

I think Lou saw the light with all of his coverage of outsourcing and Shrub's economic policies.

That and he's a true fiscal conservative. The amound of debt we're in certainly makes his blood pressure rise. His first career was in economics. So he knows that we're way over the limit on our credit card, so to speak. :lol:

Exactly..I would consider Lou Dobbs to be pretty non biased, although a conservative...Except the difference in he and Bush and most of Bush's buddies is Lou might be a REAL conservative

Chris

[gldstwmn]

Chris

He is. I was also going to add that Lou knows that the eradication of the middle class is not conducive to a sound capitalist society.
For some people, it would seem that just being wealthy isn't enough. They have to have more, have it all and at the expense of the less fortunate. I find it quite despicable.
So even though I don't always agree with everything Dobbs says, I really have to give him credit for all of the focus he has put on the outsourcing of jobs and it's impact on our middle class.

[golddustdragon]

Did anyone try searching for John's donations. Stevie and Lindsey have theirs listed. I typed in his name but couldn't find it. Then again, he probably has the same pattern as Lou Dobbs. I heard somewhere he switched sides during last year's election. Probably because of the country's ever-growing debt.

Interesting sidenote: Don Henley gave to only one Republican. Kay Bailey Hutchinson when she was running for the senate. Pretty interesting.

Did you see the entry for Jami Gertz's donations? I find it truly odd. Maybe she made a bet with someone and lost. :laugh:
