1. Huh? I see News Corp gave $64,950 to Kerry?

Is this true?

Ho boy, if it is...

[sandnsea]

5. $12,000 to Dean

I didn't check Clark.

[NV1962]

6. I read a week or so ago

that Clark received only one "larger" gift from one of the media corporations, for the whopping amount of $1,000.

Anyway - where can I check on that $70,000 for Kerry given by Murdoch's Media Monsters? Receiving that much from that ogre (and not returning it) is a major demerit, IMO.

7. No, NewsCorp did NOT gove Kerry that money

People who work for NewsCorp did.

[KittyWampus]

11. Yeah, That's The Only Way To Do It Legally... Not That It's Ethical

It's called by-passing the Law.

[sangha]

13. Very untrue

There are corporate PAC's, 527's, and a number of other ways. Kerry takes money from labor and environmental lobbyists. Oh no! Now they're going to expect that the protects workers and the environment!

Egads, aiyeeee-e-e-e-e!

16. It's not for just this campaign...

it's over his entire career, and I believe his career in politics predates campaign financing law and the $2000 limit.

2. You can't distort candidates names

in this forum.

[Eloriel]

3. It's a website name

If you can't give the URL for a website just because it happens to "distort" the candidate's names, we are in some serious shit here.

4. the s stands for "super"

super duper actually.

here we go lil guys. lets move out.

[sangha]

8. Your numbers are misleading

They don't say if they are lifetime totals, or this year. They also don't indicate if it was the corporation named who donated the money (hint: It wasn't) or if it were individuals who work at the named corporation.

[David Dunham]

9. These are Individual Employees, not Companies, Contributing

[WilliamPitt]

10. At what point will you note the donations were spread over 18 years?

Probably never, right?

[KittyWampus]

12. The QUESTION Is What Is The Correspondance Of WHEN Money Was Given

and votes caste.

[sangha]

14. And the answer?

Neither you nor anyone else here has shown and of Kerry's voted being influenced

[OutlawCorporatePolls]

15. fixed and updated.

thanks for the positive contribution.

the 2004 pres election only has been added, as well as the original source of info.

just the facts ma'am

[WilliamPitt]

21. Not really, no

If you want this to be accurate - and I am a big fan of full disclosure - each contributor should have, after the contribution total, the span of time over which the contributions were received.

For example, Mintz Levin is listed as having given $223,996. Divided by 20 years, that comes to $11,199.80 per year. The way you have it now, it looks like Mintz gave Kerry 200 grand yesterday.

PS, and just for the record, Mintz, Levin and Foley, Hoag are two very liberal law firms here in Boston. Mintz hosted a Harshbarger get-together in 2000 when he was running out here that I went to. Harshbarger went on, of course, to head Common Cause. These two firms are by no means fortresses of evil.

17. If this is what you're reaching for...

If you have to reach for conspiracy theories like this to take a swipe at John Kerry, we might as well nominate him. "Skull and Bones"... who cares?

19. what, u dont like NPR now?

they published it. not me.

[leyton]

22. You made the website

so I assumed (wrongly, I guess) you agreed with what one would infer from the article...

[Cocoa]

18. just a bunch of numbers

no idea if they're right, or any clue of the context.

How did you come across this site?

[OutlawCorporatePolls]

20. the numbers are supported.

once i saw both CNN and FOX flash that "Mean Dean" doll with the scream and confederate flag tshirt, that was enough for me.

time to take action, and kick a little corporate ass.
