Just found it kind of interesting.

[Warren Stupidity]

1. No wonder they hate Hollywood.

Oh and every fascist 100%-er is/was an asshole. Interesting list.

[rhino47]

2. If I was a rethug I would be kinda embarrassed at the 100% list

[rpannier]

4. I don't know...I kind of like that Traci Lords gave all 300 to the republikkans

It probably keeps Dobson and Reobertson up at nights knowing a former porn queen is a puke

[rpannier]

3. It was sort of interesting

Bob Barker 100% to Republicans.
Some of them gave only to special interests.
Many were less than 10K
I am kind of curious why some of these people still donate exclusively (or give majority) to republikkans. I can understand donating back in 78 to Republicans. I've always liked Jamie Farr and Dabney Coleman, but come on...Farr gave money (albeit small) to the RNC in 05 and 03, while Coleman gave money to Allen's re-election campaign.
Disappointing.

5. OMG!!! That piece of crap Mancow Muller has given 6K exclusively to Democrats

I HATE that fascist and I'm stunned he's giving to Dems.

It only identified 2K of his money. I'd be interested where the other 4K went

14. I am rather shocked at mancow also.

Before he was on Q101, the show originated on Rock 103.5, another Chicago rock radio station. He is a regular feature on the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends during the 8:00 AM hour. On Saturday, November 18, 9:00 PM EST, Mancow hosted his own show on Fox News titled "Planet Mancow" featuring his friend<2> William Shatner. He has claimed to be a libertarian at times. However, he has also described himself as a "conservative, Bible-thumping radical who curses." <3>

6. Ted Nugent and Prince are surprises for me...

Prince gave $1000 to a Repuke, and Ted gave $1000 to a Dem.

[rpannier]

7. Prince's was the best

BOSCHWITZ, RUDY (R)
Senate - MN
PEOPLE FOR BOSCHWITZ 1990 $-1,000
primary 06/25/90

BOSCHWITZ, RUDY (R)
Senate - MN
PEOPLE FOR BOSCHWITZ 1990 $1,000
primary 02/20/90

BOSCHWITZ, RUDY (R)
Senate - MN
PEOPLE FOR BOSCHWITZ 1990 $1,000
primary 02/20/90

either Boshwitz returned the money because he didn't want it or Prince asked for his money back.
Either way I found it amusing.
And it was almost 20 years ago.

[rpannier]

8. You want one for the ages...

SCHWARZENEGGER, ARNOLD
SANTA MONICA, CA 90405
ACTOR-AUTHOR
KENNEDY, EDWARD M. (D) President
KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT COMMITTEE $1,000
primary 12/12/79

How do you think the republikkans like that one????????????

[girl gone mad]

10. Prince is a fundie..

Jehovah's Witness. No surprise that he would give money to an (R).

[formerrepuke]

9. As if there weren't enough reasons already to dislike Adam Sandler!!

[TornadoTN]

11. Lou Pearlman - do I see a pattern emerging?

Looks like birds of a feather flock together:
D R
Lou Pearlman record producer $20,600 10% 90% 0%

If you recall, Lou Pearlman is the guy that founded a bunch of those "boy bands", also famous for running various ponzi schemes, defrauding investors, tax evasion, a host of other financial crimes, oh and pedophilia.

[rhino47]

13. Good Catch on pearlman.

[monmouth]

12. Funny, those I expected to give to Dems did, and Rep contributors I don't

really know or don't care to...Dems have their own personality and charisma that Repugs just lack. Those who gave to Reps were no surprise to me...

[LondonReign2]

15. I'm guessing Jeri Ryan would like her contribution back
