Lifelong Republican that donates only to Democrats

Awfully curious that a "lifelong Republican" would donate to Democrats. Must be some clandestine plan to infiltrate the party...From Newsbusters:

The quickest way to get the liberal media to pay attention to you is to claim to be a Republican who hates Republicans. It’s an almost infallible public relations strategy that of late has worked well for “Republican” Monica Green.

It’s also done wonders for “lifelong Republican” Henry A. Lowenstein, who has managed to get 20 different letters published in the New York Times since 2003, a remarkable feat when you consider that the Times (by its own admission) receives around 1,000 letters a day and prints only 15 on its letters page. That means the odds of the average liberal person (the paper freely admits it favors left-wing letter writers) getting his or her letter printed are about 1.5 percent.

It’s worse when you think of the numbers on a yearly scale. In the past five years, the Times has received approximately 1.8 million letters. It’s printed 20 of Lowenstein’s.

Remarkable really. But not really all that surprising when you consider the Times’s history of quoting people like Greg Packer, a liberal New Yorker obsessed with getting press about any topic under the sun.

Back to Lowenstein though. What sorts of things does “life-long” Republican say anyway? Let’s take a look.

* From today’s edition: “We have allowed this administration to lie, cheat and break the law, and to break its sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.”
* May 26, 2003: “The decline of the dollar is a sign of what may come if we allow the folly of tax cuts when what we really need is a huge influx of capital and a shrinking of our trade deficits.”
* February 26, 2004: “John Kerry is no ‘Massachusetts liberal’ and no Michael Dukakis. John Kerry is Karl Rove’s worst nightmare: a candidate who can go eye to eye with the president on foreign policy and terrorism, and whose record on health care, the environment and jobs is exemplary.”
* August 18, 2005: “The Bush administration’s domestic plan is to make sure that every worthwhile, successful and fair entitlement program is eliminated. The administration’s constituents, the super rich, do not need or want these programs.”

Sounds like a typical Republican to me. Lowenstein’s Republican credentials are about as real as the “Lowenstein Institute” hoax which tricked gullible liberals into believing that Republican presidents have far lower IQs than Democratic ones.

Update 13:46. Via Freeper Brad from Tennessee, here’s a look at the political contributions of a New Yorker named Henry Lowenstein. Seems likely this is the same guy. You can’t help but notice that he only gives to Democrats, quite a feat for someone who claims he wants to see the GOP reform.
