Are these organizations "tainted" because they accepted donations
from Donna Curling? ?

-The Democratic National Committee,

-the Orion Society,

-the Democratic Underground,

-Black Box Voting.org


Democratic National Committee


Donna Curling donated $23,000 to the Democratic National Committee during
the 2004 election campaign.
Now this is something that actually causes me
to worry about ChoicePoint connections.

Is it possible that the Democratic Party is tainted by its connections
with ChoicePoint and that I should vote for the Greens or the Libertarians?

The Orion Society

Donna Curling also donated money to the Thoughts on America Fund sponsored
by the Orion Society, an environmental group:
http://www.orionsociety.org/pages/os/media...
Does this taint the Orion Society's work on the environment?Have I now
carried this to the point of the ridiculous?


Democratic Underground


Donna Curling also donated money to the Democratic Underground -
does that taint the members of this forum, since donations are what keeps
the Democratic Underground running?


Black Box Voting


The original article that started this brouhaha:
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/...

In this article, they quote Bev Harris of Black Box Voting extensively
denouncing ChoicePoint and people who would accept donations from them.


"That's called a stakeholder. If your husband is the President, you cannot
make the claim there's not a connection because your livelihood is tied to
that company," Bev Harris of Black Box Voting told Atlanta Progressive News.

How is it that Bev Harris is quoted extensively denouncing ChoicePoint
and at the same time took money from the Curlings?

Is Bev Harris tainted only if she fails to denounce ChoicePoint?

Ms. Harris states on her website that she was not aware of this donation.
Since Ms. Harris kept the donation for 2 years, until the fact became public,
is Black Box Voting.org tainted anyway?
Was she for the donations before she was against them?

Also see this regarding Bev Harris and her stewardship of
her organization's finances:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discu...
Several large donations have been made to Black Box Voting, does
that mean that they control the organization?


Donna Curling concern about November 2004 errors that mostly
benefited one party. Is she really saying that George Bush stole the election?


Then there's the comment submitted by Donna Curling in November 2004
about anomalies in voting patterns related to the use of certain vote
tabulation technologies: http://www.evoting-experts.com/index.php?p...

"Anomalies are random, inexplicable occurrences establishing no pattern.
While the anomalies recorded across the nation seem random and without a
pattern - certainly one thing appears to be consistent - and that
consistency is that the errors always benefited one candidate" - not the
other. So I believe that would be an anomaly in and of itself! Comment by
Donna Curling - Tuesday November 16, 2004 @ 8:49 am PST "


There is always the possibility that Karl Rove was behind the
article that started all of this
-- but we will never know that either,
because he is very good at covering his tracks.

I think the bottom line is that we will never know any relevant facts and so
the subject is a big waste of our collective time.
