Rush Limbaugh's campaign contributions.

[drm604]

I found an interesting site, http://www.campaignmoney.com. If you look on the right and scroll down you'll see a list labeled "Notable Contributors" which includes the names of various celebrities. For example Steven Spielberg who's given exclusively to Democrats, Andrew Fastow who's given exclusively to Republicans (almost exclusively to Bush), and Donald Trump who's kind of a mixed bag.

Then there's Rush Limbaugh who's given to... well, no one! This wealthy outspoken Republican apparently hasn't made any political contributions, at least not in recent years. You'd think that someone with his wealth would put his money where his mouth is.

1. He's spending his money

on pills. Addictions do that to people.

The Abramoff list. Notice all those R's? :evilgrin:

12. I also noticed this.

The only non-Republican on Abramoff's list.

PHILLIPS, HOWARD (OTH)
President

TAXPAYERS FOR PHILLIPS $250
general 09/30/92

So who the hell is Howard Phillips and what party ran him as the presidential candidate in 1992?

On Edit: If found some info on Phillips: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Phillips

Howard Phillips (born February 6, 1941) is an American right-wing political figure who was born in Boston, Massachusetts.

He was the presidential candidate of the U.S. Taxpayers/Constitution Party in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 elections for President of the United States. He is a published author. He is one of the founders of the Constitution Party, a third party associated with conservative, pro-life issues, and constitutional government ideas on both social and fiscal issues. He is a 1962 graduate of Harvard College.

So the one non-Republican on the list is a right-winger.

3. Not surprising....

He's a hired hand....

[democracyindanger]

4. Not surprised. He makes 'in kind' donations

with his idiotfest.

In fact, I know a guy, both he and his father are diehard Republicans, his father even held state office for awhile, and they don't make contributions. They're rich as Midas, too. :shrug:

5. I Always Thought Republicans Paid Him to Spout Nonsense

Just my two cents.

[MarianJack]

6. He's Been An Official rethuglican Party Toady...

...since bush sr. carried his suitcase into the white house for him.

Anyone here remember that?

[Contrary1]

7. Nah. He's too busy putting oxycontin where his mouth is...

what a blowhard asshole he is. Wonder why the Repub's
other major blowhard asshole, O'Reilly, isn't listed.

[SillyGoose]

9. That's because they pay him, silly.

To the tune of $6 million/year so I've heard.

[BigYawn]

15. From what I know, Limbaugh makes $30 Million+ every year....eom

[f-bush]

10. Rush is a pig!

[AlCzervik]

11. Rush doesn't actually believe or care about the issues, his show keeps

him rolling in $$$$ so he will feed his audience and when he gets tired of it he'll quit and we'll see him about once a year on cspan at the yearly gop convention.

[mitchum]

13. Rent boys, narcotics, and beard fees are expensive, y'know

at the end of the month, that bloviating piece of shit barely has enough left over for cyst cream.

[JNelson6563]

17. good one!

at the end of the month, that bloviating piece of shit barely has enough left over for cyst cream


:rofl:

[cantstandbush]

14. Rush donates every day. It's his talk show. Worth a million to

Republicans. As a matter of fact, worth about 10 million dittohead votes.

[No Exit]

16. He's not a giver, he's a receiver.

That's my opinion. My opinion is: he is a receiver of wingnut welfare.
