Hmmm, lets go back a few years and look at who's been a huge supporter of the republican Party. Anyone remember the chairman of the Republican party Ken Lay? Just your everyday kind of guy, right? Now let's fast forward to now. Ever heard of Carly Fiorina? Republican spokesperson/adviser. Just your everyday megawealthy, corrupt, company destroyer! Yes, these are the people are so in tuned to middle America that always back the Republicans. Let's ask ourselves why.

Default Lynn Rothschild; Party hijack

Clinton fundraiser backs McCain over Obama - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080917/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_clinton_backer - broken link)

Quote:
WASHINGTON - A top Hillary Rodham Clinton fundraiser threw her support behind Republican John McCain on Wednesday, saying he will lead the country in a centrist fashion and accusing the Democrats of becoming too extreme

"I believe that Barack Obama, with MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean, has taken the Democratic Party — and they will continue to — too far to the left," Lynn Forester de Rothschild said. "I'm not comfortable there."

"I just ask, who has Barack Obama ever stood up to? And that troubles me a lot," she said.
Good for her. I sure she will lead the way for more Hillraisers to come on board.

When are you people going to realize that since September 1st, McCain is not allowed to take anymore private contributions?

He accepted 84 million in Government funding. That's all he gets. Period.

Bill Gates and all the Walmart heirs couldn't help him now.

Maybe the Baroness can throw a Martini party for him?

A few liberals here have taken over the board cant you tell?

They are trying to do the Obama thing and stop anything that shows what a moron Obama is and in this case, a great democrat coming over to the right side of the aisle.
More will come in time. Before long the only people left for Obama will be losers or people who are confused.
I bet Hillary and Bill end up voting for McCain.
