Let's Hear It For Rich People (Well, At Least George Soros)
On Now. Boy, he's great, and brave. I love what he's saying. And he's given more than 4 billion dollars away. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. Thank you, Mr. Soros.

2. Friend of Clark
Clark has commented that he respects Soros a great deal and would love to have the means to do what he's done.

Wonder if Soros will back Clark if he runs?

4. Who knows?
He's throwing a fundraising bash for Dean next week, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did the same for Clark. He was against the Iraq invasion, so he and Clark are definitely in the same corner on that one.

7.  Money to get rid
of bushco, just gave ten million in seed money to work towards defeating the current regime. Has given oodles for humanitarian causes in the past, and continues to do so, bucks to overthrow totalitarian and facist regimes. Money for education, to stem diseases in Africa, etc.

9. "seed money" to whom?
Once again: To what end?

FYI I like Buffet as much as I can like any monetary Elite so I'm not really attacking him. I just want to know what good his highly publicised "grants' will do. The Repukes get hundreds of millions to attack us and few ever get made public.

10. clete-WEDO NEED A NETWORK!!!
I agree 100%. If we had a network, I think we'd stand a chance - and I'm not kidding. I wonder if there's a chance.
