Analysis of female donors to Bush/Cheney

[pinkpops]

The figures, based on itemized contributions of more than $200 in campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, are evidence of a historical trend: Women without an income-earning occupation tend to send most of their contributions to Republicans, while women with incomes separate from their spouses tend to give most of their money to Democrats.

1. Stepford wives!!!

[skooooo]

2. That's pretty profound...

...To me it means that women who are dependent on their husbands accept the more traditional roles the Repug Party stands for. Surely there will be fewer and fewer of these women as time goes on???

6. It means they are rich repukes.

And the pukes are donating in their name and their wives names.

8. Oh..of course...

3. It just allows

their husbands to funnel more money to the campaign by using their names.

Edit: removed a word

4. Bingo.

Many aren't even asked who they would like the money to go to.

5. That was my interpretation as well

looking at the fundrace.org site posted here a month or so back. You would see a guy with a $ 2k donation followed by a $ 2k from the wife.

7. I wondered why

so many "housewives" gave $2000 to Bush. :puke:
