If you had a million dollars (to donate for political purposes)

What would you do with it?

I'd spend some of it on far-right wing groups. I think the left needs to covertly work to embolded the far-right out of the mainstream elements of the right wing coalitiion to demand more from the party and forment a split.

We could target the abortion zealots, the marriage freaks (gay marriage=bad, hetro divorce = OK? - NO! Ban divorce)

I really think a smart approach is to give aid and assistance to Republicans have to hide in the addict, lest the mainstream get nervous. I really think most Americans believe in live and let live, and individual rights.

Which ways would you spend your 1,000,000?

1. What if it backfires, though?

What if you give them money and ,suddenly, they gain approval? Scary thought, but as H.L. Mencken said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."

2. I dont think it would.

People like no-fault divorse. If the Republicans made it harder i think they'd pay a price.

4. I don't think it would either...

But if it did, and we had ourselves to blame, I would be just about ready to tear my own eyes out.

5. There are currently no political orgs that I would give to...

because none of them, except maybe Kucinich or Conyers, are doing much, if anything, for the people. My millions would go to various orgs helping children, and some to 34millionfriends.org, who are working to protect women's reproductive rights worldwide.
