Ford Motors Gives Reid Campaign $54,000, Disney Gives $57,000

Under Harry Reid, the unemployment in Nevada has more than tripled.  Harry Reid has spent more money than a drunken sailor.  Harry Reid has compared his constituents to "very selfish" little children.  I suppose Ford Motor Company and Disney Co. like that, because combined, they have given over $100,000 to his campaign.

Ford decided to give the Reid campaign exactly $54,300:

Honestly, I find this shocking considering that Ford was the only company not to accept a government bailout, so why would they give money to people who don't know what they're doing?  Why would they spend money so unwisely when they were the only company to take the fiscally responsible step of not accepting government money and righting their business themselves?

Even more odd is the fact that, since 2008, Ford has given Democratic candidates $200,000 more than their Republican rivals.  Since 1990, the last two election cycles (2008, 2010) are the only times that Ford gave more money to Democrats than Republicans.  Why the shift?

As for the Walt Disney Company, I suppose they felt obligated to give Senator Reid money, seeing that he is making Nevada into the 'saddest place on Earth:'

This donation follows much more in line than Ford's.  In the last two election cycles, political contributions through Disney have been almost 75% to Democrats of their total.  This is actually a lower percent of the early 90s, when Disney gave more than 80% of political contributions to Democrats:

But I guess if Ford and Disney want another six years of mismanagement, it's their money.

If you don't like Harry Reid, though, by all means, visit Sharron Angle's campaign site.
