3. Hitting the Alert?

Why would you do that? The fact that Heinz gave twice as much to Rethugs as Dems is interesting. Not certain what it means, but it is interesting.

5. Interesting? How so?

Please tell us all why the contributions of the Heinz Corp is "interesting"?

2. yeah, so?

major corporation gives money to republicans! That's a "dog bites man" story.

The Heinz family owns something like 2% of the stock and has no say in how the company is run.

I'm surprised they gave 30% to republicans.

4. Well, Why Would they Change Allegiances . . .

When Senator Heinz was a Republican? I'm not surprised. Well, guess what? There are other choices besides Heinz and certainly W Ketchup, which I'm sure unopened bottles are being sold on Ebay to respect Cheney's vision of a booming economy.

6. Yeah you would think she could do something about it...but maybe not.

She does have the last name and all, but maybe she really can't control it. I read somewhere that when she voted for Kerry November 2, it was the first time for her to vote dem. I dunno.
