      The bundlers are not the ones wearing a very flamboant tie.

        I don't know if we know the types of ties all the bundlers wear. However, whatever we know about Obama's bundlers is because his campaign discloses who they are. Romney's campaign keeps his secret.

        The only Romney bundlers we know about are the ones who are registered lobbyists because the law requires they be disclosed. There are 22 of them. Obama has no bundlers who are lobbyists.

        First thing I noted in the clip was that the bow tie is gone. Now if Tucker were over seventy years old, or on his way to a wedding I wouldn't comment...but.

        Seriously though, what are the gay donors going to do, vote for republicans and Mitt Romney? Gee Tucker, do you wonder if Jewish groups would donate to the hypothetical candidate who admits he admires Hitler, or the guy running against him?

        Tucker Carlson: politics for dumb, hateful people.

      This from a guy with his own anti-gay history. The difference is that with Tucker it's just more self-loathing, due to his repressed latent sexuality.

        YUP!

        Whine, whine, whine! These groups are donating to the guy who isn't pandering to groups who want to take their civil rights away! It must be a payoff! Whine, whine, fake outrage!

        These same clowns use their media mouthpieces to hype up fake fear about democrats taking all your guns, after taking huge payoffs from the gun manufacturers and pro gun groups. There's your real influence peddling!

        Sounds like projection to me. Tucker is such a fraud.

      Who cares? President Bush had people like Tim Lahaye and John Hagee praying for the Rapture...lol

      If the rightwing loves freedom so much why do they insist on regulating women and their reproductive rights or regulating gay or lesbian civil unions? Why do they sell off America for a few dollars??? Why do they insist on polluting their own country???

      Ahhhh....wake up....WAKE UP!!!

      Q: When did the term "campaign contributers" become the derogatory term "Bundlers"?

      A: When the polling by Frank Luntz showed people having negative reactions to that term.

        Gawd, what a sh*tty job Luntzie has, even though he's well paid for it. Sitting around with a bunch of hateful, spiteful people on prescription meds trying to come up with terms that will keep their corporate masters in power. Rick Warren - Mr. "purpose driven" life - would be appalled if he wasn't so well paid off himself.

        Obviously the implication is that President Obama is taking these positions at the behest of the apparently powerful shadowy gay lobby or something...

        The majority of Americans now agree with the president on this one, and we've been living now in a culture that has slowly turned to treating gay people like equal human beings without any of the negative or disastrous results the right wing screamed and warned us about.

        In this day and age, why would any sane person who supports civil rights for all Americans donate to republicans?

        Tucker has it all reversed, and he's trying to imply nefarious intent where only common sense exists.

        Because he's a hack.

      Actually, Tucker's math is (like everything else about him) awful. One sixth of Obama's bunders are gay. That's about 16%. About 11% of all Americans identify some degree of same-sex attraction, it's really not that strikingly high at all.

        I'm equally baffled by this:

        Obama supports pro-gay policies.

        Americans with an interest in pro-gay policies (which is not limited to gay people) respond with political and financial support.

        This somehow equates to pandering.

          Yeah this is an old Luntz/think tank talking point.

          When people donate to democrats because they agree with their policy positions, it's pandering.

          They simply don't ever mention it or they dismiss it when applied to republicans and their donors.

          IOKIYAR.

      I assume the fact that Carlson admits to beating the hell out of a gay guy who put the moves on him is what makes him the expert.

      So is a strikingly high percentage of Fox News contributors. The difference is most of the latter are tightly closeted, but openly homophobic.
