Anybody else disgusted with the Clinton wedding???

[Anonymous]

I think many republicans would submit that if the official tally on donations included monies to religious institutions, then the count would be relatively even?

As a moderate democrat, I find the hypocrisy appalling.

THIS! - It's just like Kerry trying to avoid paying $500K in taxes by mooring his boat in a different state, promoting wind turbines on the Cape so long as they are not placed around his private family island and so many many more things. Oh, and through in the the whole, we know how to take care of you better then you do, attitude that just leaves me wanting to vote for Ralph Nader.

UGH! Go spend your 3 million or whatever insane amount it is - I really don't care but don't turn around and tell me that I make too much money bringing home $125K for a family of 3.


Flame away.

I wish Chelsea Clinton happiness and a long, good life.

It is none of my business nor any of anyone else's business how much her parents spend on their only child's wedding.

At least the taxpayers are not paying for her wedding--there is secret service for parents and a no-fly zone for 24 hours over site of marriage and reception. So what, how much more was spent on White House weddings?

For once, can't DCUMers be happy for someone? Try it, you might actually find out it feels good to be happy for someone else.

You are one of the reasons we got Bush and Cheney for 8 years. Thanks so much. Also, I'm sure you are grossly overpaid.

Of course that is included. The majority of charities in the world are funded and founded on religious principals...Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Feed The Children, World Vision, Christian Children's Fund, Compassion International, Habitat for Humanity....

GASP! Some of the most prominant charities are Christian based and....dare I say it...might be full of republicans.

Still a dem but am sick of being called rich. I weed and clean. No one cares about fugly Chelsea and the press is all about the cost NOT the girl. I lost faith in the Clinton family business when Hilary didn't divorce his sorry ass after monica Lewinsky.

Sure people who own businesses will get a nice profit but the vast horde of minimum wage workers would be better off if they had a job that evaporated to another country.

Yes, because Republicans do not donate to charity. This is a tenant of republicanism.

Republicans donate more money to charity than Democrats do.

If people choose to spend their money on something that doesn't appeal to me at all but is not hurting anyone, why should I care? The caterers and florists and whoever else you need for a vast production of a wedding are probably very happy to have the work.

Liberals aren't required to live in ecofriendly clay huts eating tofu. Dodging taxes to support the country that made your life possible and indifference to whether your fellow citizens have an adequate safety net and equal opportunities are what pain liberals. You want to spend $10K on a dress you'll only wear once? Knock yourself out, as long as some of that money is going to a living wage for the person who actually makes it.

Who are you to judge whether someone should divorce their husband or wife. You are allowed to make the choice to stay with your husband (though you sound so nasty, I can't imagine why he stays [or stayed[) with you. The Gores split but the clinton's are still married. Made vows before God and stuck together through good and bad. Isn't that what they were supposed to do? Hypocrite! Also, Chelsea is a lovely, accomplished young woman is quite pretty.

Wow, lots of people getting worked up over something that is none of their business. She seems like a nice young woman who is stuck in an impossible media situation because of who her parents are.

[Anonymous]

Yeah it's pretty low to attack Chelsea by calling her "fugly." Pathetic.

Actually, republicans donate far more to charities than democrats. there's research out there on this. for example, i recall some story breaking when kerry was the nominee that he and his wife had make less than $2k in donations the prio tax year

That's untrue. The biggest donors in the world are democrats like Bill Gates. The biggest donors as a percentage of income are poor people. Rich people on the whole give money, but it is spare money. Poor people often sacrifice in order to give.
