Following the money trail
If you’ve ever wondered how much and to whom your friends and family are contributing in this presidential race, then here’s the site for you. You can search by name, region, employer, or even occupation. I did so and was surprised to find that in my primarily Democratic neighborhood all the donations were to Republican candidates. What surprises did you find?

That our donations weren’t listed.

One of my neighbors gave a thousand clams to Obama! Time to get out the tar and feathers…
Report comment to moderator
Several homes in my neighborhood made “his and hers” donations to opposite parties.

isn’t it conservative who argue that campaign donations are a key aspect of free speech?
Report comment to moderator
Speech can be free and still have consequences. Call my wife fat and you’ll get a black eye. Give a kilobuck to BHO and JohnM. will run you out of town!
I, for one, am OK with that

give me a black eye and you will go to jail.
Run me out of town for my political beliefs and donations and I will sue you for discrimination and first ammendment rights.
And when I am done you will be in jail and broke.
Your proposal, taken to its extremes, is how politics is being resolved in Kenya, not in the U.S.
You might consider the importance of the ballot box next time.

This thing is fascinating! Enter “attorney” in the occupation field, and you’ll find that lawyers have given $41 million total, $33 million of which was to democrats.
That’s all you need to know about democrats.

yup, unlike your apparent opinions, attorneys know that in a civilized society it laws, the elctions, and the courts which are used for dispute resolution.
Not brute force.

OK, here’s more: People with the last name “Ali” gave to Democrats by a ratio of 10:1.
Gonzalez? Democrats 4:1
Smith? Democrats 3:2
Smythe? Almost dead even.
Hess? Democrats 7:4
Lincoln? Democrats 2:1
Vincent? Democrats 3:2
Seu? No contributions
Most surprising of all: StuBob’s last name: Democrats 20:1!

Al Gore called, and he wants his huffy inability to recognize a wisecrack back.

now stubob noted:
“Speech can be free and still have consequences. Call my wife fat and you’ll get a black eye.”
And of course one of the consequences is that physical threats are both themselves illegal and indicative of a failure to honor the American dispute reoslution processes.
I suggest we should never be using physical threats in this blog even in jest. I believe people have been banned for just such behaviors.

“the American dispute reoslution processes”
Those are called Minuteman missiles.

John M post 13,
and is the U.S. a country of laws?
Does the Constitution discuss Minuteman Missles?
Report comment to moderator
Musing, I like to think of America as a country of both laws AND Minuteman missiles. Argument, discourse, and legal precedent are all good ways to settle a dispute, but sometimes, your opponent just needs a good nukin’.

the wild west is shut down (ended about 1880 or so).
Try the courts next time.

I am horrified. What an invasion of privacy! [I'm sincere]. I can see my sister-in-law changed her donation from one candidate to another, but it also shows me exactly where she lives. I may not agree with her, but I don’t think her personal information should be available to any snoop on the Internet.

Oooohhhh.. Musing is touchy today.
Guess what Musing?
If you call my wife fat, I’ll slug you too.
Report comment to moderator
Did you notice how the first thing Musing said is he’ll sue? Spoken like a true liberal.
Report comment to moderator
Liberals have no sense of humor and do not realize there can be no love without it. So they hate everyone

Alleluia, I have seen the light as so thoughtfully provided by my conservative collegues!!!
I used to be pretty good with a bayonet. Perhaps it is time to dust this off and restart my practicing.
Now I was a nuclear engineer, and the government nicely published the basic design for an atom bomb. So perhaps ….
