Busting newsbusters
One of the candidates he donated to I could not quickly identify the party affiliation. If anyone knows what party Bruce Bradley was in I'd appreciate the info.
Uh, did he try Googling "Bill Bradley"?

from Wikipedia:

William Warren "Bill" Bradley (born July 28, 1943) is an American hall of fame basketball player, Rhodes scholar, and former U.S. Senator from New Jersey and presidential candidate, who challenged Vice President Al Gore for the Democratic Party's nomination for President in the 2000 election.

Newsbusters does great work but that was a simple fact that would have made the score RATs 9, RINOs 1, and republicans 0.

Chicago Sun-Times Touts ‘Republicans’ for Obama

Posted by Michael M. Bates on June 19, 2007 - 18:44.

In today’s Chicago Sun-Times, columnist Jennifer Hunter writes of:

“an interesting phenomenon that has arisen over the last few months: a trend of moderate Republicans who want to vote for Barack Obama. It may seem counterintuitive, conservatives supporting a candidate who wants to tax the wealthy and embrace the conventions in the Kyoto Accord, but there is something in Obama’s message about ridding politics of partisanship that is appealing to these Republicans.”

In the first sentence, moderate Republicans are backing Obama. By the next, they’ve become conservatives. You’d think Ms Hunter, who is married to the newspaper’s publisher, would know - as most people do - that moderate Republican isn’t synonymous with conservative.

Miss Hunter identifies three supposed Republicans now backing Barack Obama. The operative word here is supposed. One of the three voted for John Kerry in the last presidential election. Yet another says she didn’t vote for President Bush in 2004. There’s no indication as to how the other “Republican” voted in 2004.

Yes, it’s apparent those conservative Republicans are eagerly jumping on the Obama bandwagon. Just ask the mainstream media. They’re really on top of those interesting phenomena.

I find it hard to believe (except for a few examples like Mr. Ronca; that are really liberals and not republicans/conservatives anyway), that most disaffected republicans suddenly embrace socialism and radical social engineering and the Democratic party, most dissafeected Repubs usually either ‘drop’ out, go farther right ‘join the LP or CP’ or become and ‘Independent’; they know its far better to do this than abandon all the principles they have believed their whole life (and joined the socialist-marxist Democrats.)

I’m sorry, WHY again would someone imagine that a BRUCE Bradley is really a Bill or Warren???????

I doubt you are right that BRUCE was really BILL.Every politically aware person knows who Bill Bradley is.

Well we’ll have plenty of D’s and I’s voting for Ron Paul, a real republican.

These people like this lawyer were what I call ‘Republicans of convenience’...they never were real — perhaps RINOs.
