He didn't tell me about this one. Moron. :)

She's directing the efforts of a $30mm campaign to create housing for
those who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity -- and they both
support Democrats with their campaign contributions.

Excellent example of liberal compassion in action.

Ah - another fine example of extrapolation and coming to the wrong
conclusion.

You see Jon, we're all involved in helping others. It's not a
"democrat" or a "republican" thing - it's not a "liberal" or a
"conservative" thing - it's not a "christian" or "non-believer" thing
- it's the right thing.

And that's the difference between you and me. You see it as a black
and white difference between liberals and conservatives. I see it as
an opportunity to actually make a difference. You see it as an
opportunity to score "political" points in a useless corner of the
innertybes - I would have never even thought of checking the FEC
website to see who donated to who.

It doesn't matter who donated to who or what political viewpoints one
has when it comes to helping others on a personal level. It's the
right thing to do.

I'm a conservative and proud of it. I volunteer for outreach, counsel
returning combat veterans, still involved in adult literacy and while
I'm retired from active volunteer fire/rescue/ems service, I'm still
active as a member and still occasionally drive a truck or take a
shift if there is a shortage of EMTs.

So I do my part and it's not about being a democrat or a republican -
conservative or liberal - christian or non-christian.

It's about being a citizen.
