Peter_Puget Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Great link! I checked out my ZIP code and sadly everyione virtually all donated to Dennis & Dean! Quote
arlen Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Lots of Clark and Dean in my 'hood. Nearly all the Bush donors have their info concealed Quote
badvoodoo Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 You must live in either a wealthy neighborhood or a rural hunting community. Quote
decrepit Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 According to the site, all the people in my area give to democrats, but vote republican! Quote
Alasdair Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 According to the site, all the people in my area give to democrats, but vote republican! Everyone around you is apparently retarded. Quote

jjd Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I can't believe how many people in my area gave to Howard Dean, even considering how "liberal" my city is. Quote
Ratboy Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 My old neighborhood is wealthy and new -- 2:1 for Bush. My new neighborhood is old and middle class -- 2:1 Democrats. Quote
JGowans Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I had a lot of Bush donors. Surprisingly, someone actually gave $25 to Al Sharpton!!! Quote
Alasdair Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I had a lot of Bush donors. Surprisingly, someone actually gave $25 to Al Sharpton!!! Good for them. Al Sharpton, although not taken seriously was the only one in the debates who asked many of the questions that need to be asked. It was great to have him in the debates, and I would give $25 if it was the difference between having him there and not. Quote
Winter Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 (edited) That is one of the best web site I have seen in a LONG time. Thanks for posting that information. The future of clean politics lies in publically financed camapaigns. BTW, Bush ran up a $132,500 bill at the Sheraton in NYC. That must have been one hell of part ... sniff sniff. GW, you dog.

MrDoolittle Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Thanks Peter_Pungent!! Did you happen to catch the subliminal message in the intro, namely that Bush is winning the money fueled drag-race to the finish? I was glad to see that I live in an area that shares my political leanings, yet also a bit disturbed to find so much personal information so readily available on this website. I wonder if the donors were made aware that their personal info would be used in such a fashion... I also took a look at the ZIP I had Back East, and HOLY SHIT there is a lot of money bieng thrown down!!!! Who has $2000 to give to any of these clowns???? Quote
Squid Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Yeah- it's fascinating to see our hunches confirmed..outside of large urban areas, America votes Republican. As a product of a really conservative & religious small town, I suspect that this is because anyone with two brain cells to bounce together leaves those areas as soon as they are able; the only people who can tolerate living in those areas are people who don't expect much more for culture than what they get from prime-time. There are exceptions- I think many of us would prefer to live far outside of cities, but I think that has become a part of the socio-cultural-economic lifestyle of Americans: small town kids head to cities as soon as they're able for jobs/school/culture/acceptance and remain in cities throughout most of their productive (economic) years, retiring to more rural areas only once they have the economic means to do so. I am open and eager to hear other theories of our nations geographic socio-economic segregation. Quote
slothrop Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Fascinating! It seems that everyone in my area who gave to Bush gave the maximum ($2,000) and is a VP, CEO, lawyer, or "homemaker" wife of one of the preceding, while most people who gave to the Dems (about 90%) gave a few hundred on average and have normal jobs. One woman gave $50 each to Braun and Sharpton, and a few hundred to Kucinich. I spent 10 minutes just reading the occupations of people who live around me and looking for people I know... fascinating! Quote
willstrickland Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Holy shit! I don't believe it...it's a virtual tie in the Dem v. Rep by the numbers of donors. I expected 80-20 Bush. Must be the university. A $1600 Kucinich donor!!! Over 80% of the Dem money went to Dean. Quote
bunglehead Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Everyone in my neck of the woods gave to DEAN. Quote
scott_harpell Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 All the unemployed in my area gave money to the dems. I wonder if they used their food stamps to pay for it. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 move to canada. hardly anybody around here gave any money to any of those bastards. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Weird, it lists BillG as CEO, but he's not. He's chairman. Ballmer is CEO. Quote
cj001f Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Ballmer & Wife donated $2k each to W too. And Steve's listed as CEO. http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Ballmer&fname=&search=Search+by+Name Quote
