Welcome to FundRace 2008.

Want to know if a celebrity is playing both sides of the fence? Whether that new guy you're seeing is actually a Republican or just dresses like one? If your boss maxed out at that fundraiser or got comped? Whether your neighbor's political involvement stops at that hideous lawn sign?

FundRace makes it easy to search by name or address to see which presidential candidates your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors are contributing to. Or you can see if your favorite celebrity is putting their money where their mouth is.

FundRace gives you the technology to do what politicians and journalists have been doing for years: find out where the money's coming from, see who it's going to, and solve the mystery of why that crazy ex-roommate of yours is now the Ambassador to Turks and Caicos.

The ability to run queries off database on a handful of professions and employers is a great feature you've added.

I'd like to be able to run queries based on residence (states).

Write your Representatives and Congressmen and get this passed! I challenge all Democrats and all Liberals to support this....something that will restore your constitutional rights to practice what you preach.

Although this sort of thing is "mildly amusing from time to time," it emphasizes just how thoroughly corrupted the system is, and just how much a "culture of indifference" has overtaken Washington, DC.

These "so-called leaders" and "so-called candidates" remind me very much of Marie Antoinette, who by-the-way was not so much cruel as simply clueless when she said, "let them eat cake." If all that you can talk about is however many hundred-million dollars you have raised (notice that you really don't have to say just how many of those dollars you have simply pocketed), then you certainly don't have anything to say about why my neighbor's child cannot afford health-care nor why there's a plastic bucket in the middle of his classroom every time it rains.

If you talk about an illegal war in the Middle East without fully understanding that the American military is being deployed merely as an adjunct to a lawless band of mercenaries that top American officials happen to own, then once again you have nothing to say to me, nor to my co-worker whose young son is now dead for no good reason.

Don't quote platitudes to me: don't you dare pose in front of an American Flag that you know nothing about and care even less about.

anyone else find it more than a little creepy that there are addresses attached to the donations listed and the site is proudly telling people to look up their favorite celebrities and authors...
that's not particularly bright.
who knows whether these addresses are managers or agents or lawyers or business managers or home addresses....
and I know its a matter of public record but i'm not sure HuffPo should have chosen to make it public knowledge so readily... a little discretion might have been nice.

It's bad to give people access to information?

You should read my post more carefully and not respond with such a kneejerk response intended to attempt to bait me or other posters on the issue.
The issue is not "access to information" (and I think you know this.)

Public record is public record.
For example, just because one has access to LexisNexis and can pull up all manner of detailed information on real estate doesn't mean posting all that detailed information on a website is a responsible or intelligent thing to do.
Public record is public record and should remain public record.
But taking it upon yourself to make that public knowledge takes someone to publish it and disseminate that info. It's irresponsible.
Again, if you'd bothered to read my post you'd see that it is the publication of addresses with which I am uncomfortable.
It lacks prudent judgement.
It's not news to you that there are some unstable people (some of whom have still manage to make it through their daily life and post disturbed posts on this, and other, websites) and handing them addresses -- well, call me overly cautious. There are some creepy, scary and unstable people out there.
This site could have left out the address and left only the zip codes -- it would still provide names, donation quantities and candidates receiving the money... and it would have still enabled the search query by zip code to see where the money comes from.
However, there is no need to publish addresses -- how do you know what type of address it is.
To assume people reading it have good judgement is giving some folks way too much credit.

HILLARY'S NO EXPERIENCE?

COMRADE HILLARY...

She's never run a city,

she's never run a state.

She's never run a business.

She has never met a payroll.

She has never been responsible for the safety and security of millions of people, much less even hundreds of people.

WHAT IF?
It would seem that in a TIME OF DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AND WAR WE DON'T WANT ON THE JOB TRAINING FOR (PRESIDENT). And you WANT HER TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR / RUN YOUR HEALTH CARE?

WILL PRINCESS HILLARY STAND UP?
How will Hillary/Democrats stand up to terrorists, when they can't stand up to Fox News?

STUPID QUESTION?
If Queen Hillary is the answer, it must have been a stupid question.

To all the conservatives / republicans on this site who decry others for being unpatriotic because they don't 'support the troops':

It will be interesting to see if a democrat is elected President, if you'll show your true patriotism by supporting the Commander-in-chief, or if you'll just descend into your stupid little rantings about what ever talking points you're given.

I expect you to soundly denounce any right-winged talk show host who dares cry down a democratic Commander-in-chief

"I expect you soundly to denounce any right-wing talk show host who dares cry down a democratic Commander-in-chief."

You know very well that they will try to destroy any Democratic president. Republicans play dirty. They don't play by the rules. They're bullies. They play to win. They want power any way they can get it. And the Republican followers don't think for themselves; they follow orders from above.

It is like political upskirt, only more cynical and closer to illegal.

Gosh Arianna, you could be using the site to organize & harness liberal energy towards impeaching Bush or trouncing the GOP in 2008.

Instead we get bullshit like this.

It is not liberal energy that would need to be harnessed in the impeachment matter.

It is the 18 Republican Senators needed to vote to convict.

He'll pray to Jeebus, who will tell him nothing is more important than beating Hillary.

Then he'll announce that Rudy is actually a great man and he will be happy to support him.

If Hillary is elected, it will be over the (figuratively) dead bodies of the Christian Right.
