Read my #13. I just don't understand how ANYONE can vote for their CD person who just two years ago gave money to the Democrat Senate candidate and seems to be proud of it. Also, he supported Kay Bailey Hutchisons opposition a few years back. You'd rather support a Democrat than someone who is supported by President Bush and our Senator Cornyn??? You got to be kidding? You support someone who supports DEMOCRATS befor someone endorsed by Republican president??? I just don't understand.

Ben only cares about HIMSELF. He gave money to Senate Democrats for BUSINESS reasons. Is that the type man you want? At least MCCaul gave service to his country in the DOJ.

If you run a multimillion dollar business, sometimes you give to both sides in order to insure you have access to protect your business.

What were Krueger and Bentsen at the time these donations were made? They were office-holders. Krueger was the interim U.S. Senator and Bentsen a U.S. Representative (and son of a very influential former senator and cabinet member). If a bill came up that was going to hurt his business, he wanted to make sure he had an ally in Congress and the only way you get their ear is to give to their campaign. The issue is a straw dog just like the "McCaul worked for Janet Reno" straw dog.

Neither was about politics. And the only reason they are being waved around now is because politics is a cut-throat business.

Yes, it's possible Streusand is just a rich scam artist but I don't think he is and I'm willing to take that chance over another Bush rubber stamp. Otherwise, we get more Rick Perrys, more Rove RINOs. I think his personal wealth means he doesn't have to vote with who brung him. He's not owned by any political machine when he gets to Washington, therefore he can be his own man.

I don't just want more Republicans in Washington, I want more conservatives. Being one's own man means he can vote how he wants to and, if he votes according to what he's campaigning on, that's fine with me.

Is it a risk? Sure. But it's also a risk to vote for the Bush-approved candidate who will say yes to things like Campaign Finance Reform, Medicare entitlements and amnesty for illegals because his masters tell him that's how he'll vote.

At least MCCaul gave service to his country in the DOJ

McCaul did not GIVE service to his country in DOJ. He's a lawyer. It was a job. Comments coming later about how he did that job.

I guess Streusand gave service to his country creating 600 jobs and financiang American homes, farms and businesses?
