 Fox, 77, of St. Louis, Missouri, is national chairman of the Jewish Republican Coalition and has donated well over $1 million to Republican candidates and causes since the 1990s, according to Federal Election Commission records. He was deemed a "ranger" by President Bush's campaign for helping to raise at least $200,000.
Kerry grilled Fox about the Swift Boat contribution during the Feb. 27 hearing, asking him why he gave money to a group that was "smearing and spreading lies" and had been condemned by members of both political parties.
Fox replied that he considers Kerry a hero. But he refused to call the contribution a mistake.
"When I'm asked, I just generally give," Fox told Kerry.
Fox did not backed down in a series of written responses to Kerry since the hearing. Considering the White House chooses who they want to put up based on "politics", it doesn't make much sense to complain when the Legislature, which has approval / disapproval power, also considers "politics".
And considering the recent squabble with the "District Attorneys"...
