Stop bitching you two!

Med, the bush family ain't shit, John Kerry's family fortune dwarfs his. You have to stop getting all your political ammo from Rolling Stone and Air America blogs. Especially when you espouse that you are "just expressing my views from my perspective."

Ayn Rand rules btw.

Still, none of these were presidents. Maybe a hopeful or two but not presidents. I didn,t say the richest man as that would be ummm, Bill Gates, I said the richest President, and I'll bet you'd be hard pressed to find the amount on him!

Umm, all elected officials' personal financial records are public data Med. George Bush is worth about $26 Million, which I hate to tell ya, is not Dictator-type cash...

Furthermore the article that started this thread is pointless. The fact, is some freelance DC blogger wrote a piece that uncovers nothing! Wow some companies make money off war; by rebuilding, or by educating, or even by building weapons and training mercenaries? Geez Louise! Well I'll be gosh darned.

Politics is about networking, connections, influence and power.
I have three younger brothers and a cadre of smart friends. If I were president would I let you handle my affairs, or would I trust them to family and friends?

Once again, you let a DC pundit speak for you and suffer the consequences of copying and pasting...

Another interesting factoid ...

The modern Democratic Party, and their minions like Med, try to convince people that the Republicans are the "Party of The Rich," when its a known fact that the vast majority of contributions to the Republican Party is in denominations under $5000. The majority of finance money collected by Democrats comes in large chunks from millionairs and Billionairs.

Med ... you've been lied to. Time to wake up.

Hey vervej., ....good posts, points well made.
