Can't understand why( Sarcasm) I understand he is an enviornmentalist. Jeez, what is Bush thinking?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Nice job, Jorge. Tomorrow you and daddy can nominate Bill clinton for a cabinet position.......that is if daddy is done fawning over him.

[Paleo Conservative]

The nominee, Henry M. Paulson Jr., chief executive of Goldman Sachs

This story confirms my first impression. Anyone important at Goldman Sachs is a big time left wing DemocRAT.

Geez. I wont say it. Ill just suck it up again. Emily's list?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Running the treasury has nothing to do with being pro-abortion or an environmentalist - go back to DU troll < /Bot >

[samadams2000]

Thank God we control all branches of government..huh?. To the victors go the spoils! Yeah Bush! Yeah trilateral commission.!

[Robe]

BOHICA

[FreeInWV]

So I guess you would support Maurice Strong, if that's who Bush nominated?

[samadams2000]

EEE, C'mon. 8, 12, 16 things in a row a pattern make.

Actually, he has given a lot to President Bush and Republicans- I guess they must have had a problem with their search engine.

2002-2004 Cycles (note, some other Henry Paulson's mixed in)

Selective reporting?

[proud_yank]

Does 'League of conservation voters' imply Greenpeacers (i.e. communists), or does that include conservation groups such as Ducks or Trout Unlimited as well?

[philsfan24]

emily's list? you have got to be kidding me. what a disgrace.

[mnehring]

1998 Cycle shows the same pattern as my last post, mostly Republican causes with token Dems thrown in- with the exception of the League of Conservation Voters, the large contributions went to Republicans.

I support abolishing the Treasury Department. It's an anachronism.

[sinkspur]

Human Events definitely has a burr under its saddle about Paulson. This is the second negative, misleading story Jeffrey's outfit has put out about him today.

[swheats]

Now to show the other side of his contributions would give a more fairer light on this candidate. I don't think the writer had that in mind. /sarc

Wrote just enough information to give to those handwringers that needed a reason to moan and groan about Bush's choice.

[Siena Dreaming]

Thanks...your list shows later contributions.

Looks like he was giving to Schumer and the like back in the mid-90's.

And lately he's been giving to Republicans.

[mnehring]

*** Note, just noticed the 'League of Conservation Voters' donations were by his wife.

Note they say Mrs. Henry Paulson Jr., not Henry Paulson Jr.

I wonder if the Emily List donations are the same?

Looks like bad reporting on the issue..

[FreedomNeocon]

Meh... I'm noticing a trend here of a BIG push on articles that might 'piss off' the true bush haters and posers around here.

I will bet that 90% of the people in this tread don't know a single thing about the guy other than what the OP clipped together.

Furthermore I'll bet that quite a few don't care, and won't try to learn about him, but only clicked the thread because it looked like a good chance to cry and whine and complain as some kind of sick, demented, catharsis.

That is, those that aren't the obvious dimocrap trolls that I always see in these threads.
