Why I love America
...The Oregon Republican Fat-Cats List
The idea behind this list is to single out wealthy Republican donors who are flouting our Democracy by funneling money through their unemployed "homemaker" wives, and thus donating $4000 dollars in their own names, and on the behalf of the corporations, and corporate agendas they support. All told, this list comprises 46 donors - most of whom gave the maximum amount allowed - who in total gave $173,000 dollars to the Bush campaign.
It is worth noting that in one election season, these individuals have given to one campaign, probably more money than I have spent in my entire life. And that folks, is why I love America.
