He was largely apolitical until he started having political heat applied to him... I recall reading that MS didn't even have permament lobbyists in DC until 1993, 94 or so. From the little that I've read, he spreads the wealth relatively across-the-board, with an eye to those who are in position to do MS greater harm/good. -
No, not bad taste, just good trolling!Originally posted by Boris Godunov
Wow, diplomat...you've even managed to rankle two staunch Republicans with this steaming pile.
How about you go look up how much money Kerry and Edwards have given to charitable causes, including those relating to 9/11, before you make these kind of revolting generalizations?
What bad taste.
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Normally I would complain about the PR aspect of public donations, but since they were probably trying to get additional attention to help spur other donations, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, THIS TIME.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I'm more impressed with people who donate large amounts amounts of money without having to brag about it (publicizing their donations).A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

No high fever here, but seriously, thanks for caring! On several occasions, I've become annoyed at various PC issues you've put foward... but that doesn't mean you're not right once in a while.Originally posted by MrFun

Re: Rumsfeld and wife donate to Pentagon 911 memorial
Kerry threw his medals away. He hates the military.Originally posted by The diplomat
--------------
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his wife, Joyce, have donated $100,000 to help fund a Pentagon memorial for the 184 victims killed there on September 11, 2001, sources said.
Believed to be the largest single gift to the project so far, the donation comes as fund raising for the memorial is going slowly.

Kerry and his wife have tons of money. Edwards is a multi-millionaire. Maybe the Dems running for President could donate to this memorial to show they care about the victims of 911?Comment
