1. He is a liberal Democrat from California, who opposes the President.

Wrong. Jeff Gordon is largely apolitical, but is a registered Republican who does not oppose the President. When the Vice President was at Daytona a few weeks ago, Jeff was front and center next to the VP on the stage. Nemecheck and Shraeder were the other drivers immediately around the VP, because they drive cars sponsored by the military.

He drives for a car owner that gave so much money to Bill Clinton he got a pardon for a felony.

I don't know who Rick Hendrick makes political contributions to, if he makes them at all. I do know that one does not need to contribute money to a president's campaign in order to receive a presidential pardon. Most people who receive presidential pardons are not wealthy campaign contributors.

I also know that Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon are different people, just as you and your boss are different people. Additionally, not only do nearly all adult Americans work and play with people whose politics do not agree with their own, but millions live with family members who have different political views. It's called life, and being a human being. Get over it. There IS more to life than politics.

Oh, and by the way, Jeff may have been born in Californa and spent his young childhood here (yep, I'm from California, too -- lots of conservatives here), but his family moved him to Indiana when he was about 11 or 12 and, as far as I know, Jeff has never lived in California since. So stuff your anti-California prejudices where the sun don't shine.

Prove it! Name the citation! In the last presidential election cycle, he was the only top ten NASCAR driver not to endorce Bush (he was was for Kerry). I read where he was stumping capitol hill with Howard Dean. Prove he is a registered Republican and supports Bush.

I was born in the East Bay. Grew up in the Santa Clara Valley. Moved away when I was 22. I am entitled to anything I want to say about the Golden State. "A lot of conservatives?" You lie.
