1. News Corp BLUE? WTF?

"Daaad, that's FOX!"

"D'oh! Undo, undo!"

2. 3 of the first 4 on you blue list are yanking your chain

Time Warner is AOL. AOL is Red.
News Corp is FOX for gawd's sake.
Walt Disney refused to distribute F9/11 for political reasons.

3. Time Warner drone employees give blue. Their owners gave BushInc CNN

as its own Public Relations Dept. AOL/TimeWarner works for BushInc. and the Saudis.

Most of its Dem employees donate what they can to Dems but are no match for the billions in PR that CNN provides for BushInc.

Rupert Murdoch always donates to Democrats as an unfunny joke while he gives his entire network to BushInc to promote fascism.

4. Me thinks that "blue" is a strange kind of deep purple color.

Almost as though there's a hint of red in it.

for Disneyworld in Florida.

11. There should not be any Blue or Red Corporations!

Why should corporations be allowed to contribute to any political campaigns, they can't vote? The Supreme Court decided in 1886 that because the 14th amendment made people out of property (slaves were considered property) that means Corporations were now persons. So if they are persons, they have the protection of the 1st amendment of free speech. Since they don't have a mouth, then money is their speech. I am forming a Reclaim Democracy chapter in San Diego. I wish everyone would get on this bandwagon. It really is a non-partisan issue that both Repukes and Dems should unite and fight against. Check out these two websites:
