  2. RuPaul is running for President?

    Man, those State Dept. Dinners will be a bitch. Hook that little North Korean fucker up with a Tranny for the night. He'll give up those weapons, and for photos. No oil, food, money necessary.

    "Well, President Kim Il Sung, we were going to provide your country with grain and fuel oil in our quest for a nuclear free N Korea. However, we've decided to go with 500,000 of these 8/10 glossies with you tonguing President RuPaul while (s)hes got her finger up your ass. Whattya say? Deal, or no deal?

    Hey, Btw. What the fuck where you drinking.? You were hilarious in those platform shoes. Oh, they were yours to begin with? Sorry."

    Hapaboy;
    Well i have heard some leaders nickname Hillary ''Jezebel'';
    if you remember your history,queen Jezebel never got to be Commander-in chief.

    Jezebel never never got to be king -the commander in chief, even though Jezebel was married to king Ahab.Not a prediction;
    simply probabilities, thank the Lord & the integrity of M Huckabee.

    Dr. Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy;
    think Paul Tudor Jones gave to Obama & Rudy,
    but cannot prove the latter statement.:cool:

  6. Another hedge fund superstar is backing Barack Obama for president, reported The New York Observer.

    Paul Tudor Jones is hosting a fund raiser for Obama on May 19. The event will take place at Jones oceanfront Greenwich, Conn., mansion. The mansion has a 25-car garage, the newspaper reported. The newspaper went on to state an estimated 500 people are expected to attend.

    In supporting Obama, Jones, a commodity trading guru who founded Tudor Investment Corp., a hedge fund company with $15 billion under management, is in league with fellow hedge fund billionaire George Soros.

    In March, Soros switched his allegiance from Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to Obama, the Illinois senator vying with Clinton for to become the Democratic nominee for the 2008 presidential election. Soros, who has an estimated net worth of $8.5 billion, has supported Obama since his 2004 campaign to become senator of the Prairie State. Clinton had long relied on the support of Soros.

    In addition to Jones and Soros, Obama has been adept at drawing support from other big name people from the hedge fund industry. Orin Kramer, Boston Provident honcho, as well as Eton Park Capital head Eric Mindich, are also backing Obama. Kramer is said to be one of the top moneymen for Obama. Mindich, meanwhile, is revered as the Goldman Sachs prodigy whose hedge fund startup launched at $4 billion.

    Obama is the fifth African American in history to serve on the U.S. Senate. He has been an outspoken critic of the Iraq War. His keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention made him a nationally-known figure.

    ______________________________________________________________


    It was Mr. Obama’s four-hour dash through town, however, that had everyone chatting, mostly about the hundreds of thousands of dollars he gleaned. The evening began at the waterfront home of the billionaire Paul Tudor Jones II, a hedge fund titan. His home, worth an estimated $25 million, features an underground garage roomy enough for more than 25 cars. It has been described in Vanity Fair as “a cross between Tara and a national monument.”

    Another billionaire, George Soros, a longtime supporter of liberal causes, was a co-chairman of the event, which drew 300 guests who were asked to pay $2,300 apiece. A private reception was tossed in for about a dozen people who had raised $25,000 or more for the candidate.

  7. man

    man

    the US interpretation of democracy is still a mystery to
    me. far more than a year of campaigning. it appears as
    kind of tv-event like dancing with the stars. as if the
    whole pre-election process was something important in
    itself, while in fact it is burning out candidates, keeping
    them from doing other work and leaving those who do
    not make it frustrated as can be.

    america, in case no one told you, not everything must
    be turned into entertainment.

    nevertheless the obama victory speech was a handcrafted
    master piece. this was very well done. victorious and
    decent. romney against obama will be a tough race. i
    pray that giuliani does not ressurrect ...

    TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS
    Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET

    Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!

    "She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider to the DRUDGE REPORT. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."

    Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."

    "Her money is going to dry up," Edwards confided, a top source said Monday morning.

    Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state. But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

    Developing...

    [The dramatic reversal of fortunes has left the media establishment stunned and racing to keep up with fast-moving changes.

    In its final poll before Iowa, CNN showed Clinton with a two-point lead over Obama. Editorial decisions were being made based on an understanding the Democratic primary race would be close, explained a network executive.]
