I don’t give money to any presidential canidates. The Two party system is fukcing retarded.
It’s almost like it was designed to constantly gridlock our government, and both parties are currently pretty awful.
If Nadar ran, our if we could get a legtimate Libertarian on the ballot, then I would check my wallet.
I gave some money to Kucinich – about along the lines of Mr. Penland – but I don’t remember how much.
I think it is amazing how much people donate. As someone who might be able to scrape together $54 on a good week for an extra expense, it just re-inforces how out of touch politics is with really average people.
Since I am sure each and every one of those listed personages consider themselves "average."
Go figure why things are like they are.
I’m sure Mr. Penland feels mighty proud of that $54.
