Just for fun I was reading through the contributions list of a few billionaires. I know we hear alot about George Soros and the millions he gives to the Democratic causes. But little is heard about the Republican funders. Is it just because we assume that the Republicans have the big wallets bankrolling all their campaigns and its nothing of interest. Or is it that the Conservative backed funds use all their money to convince us that they're the victims. A look at the numbers shows us that in 2003-2004 Soros gave about 2.5 million to Moveon. But at about the same time, just a little later, Boone Pickens gave a total of about 5.5 million to the Swift Boaters and the Progress for America Fund (a conservative group). Alice Walton of the Wal-Mart fortune also gave about 2.6 million to the Progress for America Fund. Richard Devos, Amway founder also gave about 2 million to Progress for America. Quick math shows that Soros was outspent by his billionaire brethren by about a 4 to 1 margin. Of course all we hear about is how Soros is bankrolling the liberals. | |
