Johnson and Gordon donate to Giuliani Presidential bid-UPDATE
Quote selected text Published October 19th, 2007 in NASCAR News
UPDATE:
QUESTION TO JIMMIE JOHNSON: THERE WAS NEWS THIS WEEK THAT YOU AND JEFF GORDON AND CASEY MEARS CONTRIBUTED TO MAYOR GUILIANI’S POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. IS IT A DELICATE SITUATION WITH YOUR FANS AND SPONSORS WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION LIKE THAT CREATES THE PERCEPTION THAT YOU’RE NOT POLITICALLY NEUTRAL?”
JOHNSON: “Yeah, it is a tightrope that you walk. From my experience in having a place in Manhattan and seeing what Guiliani has done in Manhattan and the way he handled 9/11 and the things he’s done for the city, I’ve been very impressed with him. And I’ve certainly have shown some support to his camp and in his direction. So it is a touchy situation, but we all have opinions and we all have views and who I choose and who I’d support and think is right for the job might not be someone else’s opinion. I think when you’re in a public figure’s situation, your opinions are used in broadcast so it’s delicate and people are usually reserved about that. But what I saw, and lived through, and experienced in Manhattan, he does great things.”

Campaign funding forms out this week showed Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon, as well as Rick Hendrick kicked in cash to the presidential bid of Rudy Giuliani.
The Gordon/Johnson tie to Giuliani should come as no surprise: Both drivers have homes in New York City and spend a lot of down there.
- Giuliani to serve as honorary race official at Pepsi 400
- Johnson to donate race winnings to Red Cross
- Jeff Green to join Samsung charity event with other sports stars
- Barack Obama may sponsor No 49 BAM Cup car at Pocono-UPDATE
- Johnson, Gordon to appear on Monday Night Football
Nice. Hendrick=Republicans. I love it.
Only problem here: they support Guiliani. Mitt Romney is the next president.
I VOTE FOR HILARY,I AM SICK OF REPUBLICIANS. LOOK AT BUSH,
WHAT A MESS WE ARE IN.
I wish you would center your news so the sides are not blank. Does anyone else have this problem???

hey doris. Busch is the right person to have in office right now. He is showing that he is a leader in the face of evil people, that want to see america fall, to these nobodys, like these tal heads. leave it to the small nations to start a big war. again again and again. Go Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson.
What the F*c%!!! Like we need political issues on here when people can’t even agree on a stupid number!! Give us racing articles not this garbage.
This just gives me one more reason to dislike those 2. He would be worse than bush, his people are the people that were to extreme for bush and… well lets just reflect on how things are now…
Ron Paul in 08!

If you dont know him check him out
geeulanni is a disgusting individual. he’s made millions of dollars on the corpses of 9/11 victims - people who might still be alive had NYC had a capable leader before, during and after 9/11. geeulanni is the modern reincarnation of hitler plain and simple. him and romney want to take all our money AND all our freedoms and liberties. the ONLY choice for the next President of this country is Ron Paul - the ONLY candidate who wants to seriously cut our taxes, ensure our freedoms, and pull us out of the middle east where we have spent trillions and lost thousands of our soldiers and for what? the situation over there is worse than it was before and will NEVER get better.
Please put into plain English:
Browser?
Version?
javascript?
I am illiterate on these 3!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Please. Ron Paul is a liberal, the last kind of person we need running this country. I’m a democrat, and our party is an embarassment. When Hillary is the best candidate, you know we are screwed.
What we need is a president who will allow military order to kill all illegals.
