William Ford's FEC File; Gave to Bush 41, Dubya

It doesn't surprise me in the least to learn that the head of Ford Motors Corporation really likes to give money to GOP candidates and that he gave to both Bush 41 and Dubya.

Here's the breakdown of his giving by party. $109,250 to GOP candidates and PACs, and only $27,750 to Democrats. He also donated $15,000 to the Ford PAC.

This is the list of all his donations from the Federal Election Commission:
