I'M NOT SUPPORTING ONE PERSON GETTING RICH FROM HALLIBURTON

[RDU Socialist]

Fuck anyone who is getting rich off their exploitation of our government and the innocent Iraqis. Fuck the shareholders too!

Who's with me in condemning every single motherfucker who gets wealthy from Halliburton?

[Placebo]

1. STARTING with Ned Lamont.

Every death in Iraq is a boost to his stock price.

[RDU Socialist]

2. probably increases his dividends

funny how he never mentioned this before he needed 15% or something to force a primary.

11. The Unknown Millionaire

also makes a pretty penny selling security systems to gated comunities for the ultra-rich elite.....

12. Do you own an S&P 500 Index fund?

If you do, you own Halliburton.

[Breeze54]

3. Yes you are -

if you pay taxes. Who the hell do you think is paying them? :shrug:

[RDU Socialist]

4. i meant in terms of voting

and this was a shot at people who are supposedly principled but will hail Ned Lamont as some kind of savior despite the fact he is apparently got thousands upon thousands of dollars from Halliburton.

[rpannier]

5. Where'd you get that information?

I'm not questioning you. I would be interested in finding a place that lists the investments of all of the people running for office.
Thanks for the heads up.

19. from a diary posted by liebermanlives.

OK, move on.

As other have said, $ 15,000 of stocks by somebody who is a millionaire. It certainly shows to what point Lieberman is worried.

[Breeze54]

8. $15,000 in stock...

and he's a millionaire from what I've read and a PRIVATE citizen investor.
Don't you think that stock was included, in some portfolio, by his investment manager?
$15,000 is not a lot of money to someone with that kind of money or investments.
He probably didn't know it was even there!

Cheney is the director of Halliburton, (cough - wink) retired.
And Lieberman is ALL FOR THE WAR!!!!!!! OOHRAH!!! Is HE getting rich off of it??
Fuck Lieberman!!

Lamont should get rid of the stock and Conneticut should get rid of Lieberman!
ASAP!!!

[Zynx]

14. $15,000 in a portfolio that probably lost several million in the past week

He might not even know that he owns it.

[CTLawGuy]

18. the same people who believe that the war is

"just an issue" are telling us not to vote for Lamont becuase he has 15k in Halliburton. :eyes:

Hypoctrites much.

He could fucking own Halliburton for all I care as long as he will represent me in Congress.

In fact wouldn't it be awesome if liberals could all buy up Halliburton, maybe it can stop the corrupt deals with the adminstration by firing high corporate officers.

But what do I know, Im just a "terrorist". :eyes:

7. Good luck with that. . .

I'm a small businessman struggling to make it to the grave without leaving my children too much debt. A small number of my clients, I'm sure, have some form of contact with Halliburton or Bechtel, MCI WorldCom or Exxon, Halcrow or Foster Wheeler, Eaton Electric or De La Rue, Conren or Chiltren, BP or Baker Wilkins -- any of a huge number of corporate plunderers who've taken advantage of Iraq's misery to line their pockets (you're surely not so naive as to believe only Halliburton's received secret, bid-free contracts?). Thankfully, I don't have direct contact with any of these pirates, but I recognize the whoredom in which I live.

At what point do we decide someone has "gotten wealthy" from the IraqAttaq? Have you? Are you certain -- given the 6 degrees of separation in the world -- that your neighbor's table isn't tainted by ill-gotten gains?

It's a collective guilt . . . that's the crime of Iraq. Whether we've personally profited or done so vicariously should make no difference in our eyes. It's a collective guilt we must atone for, and how we'll accomplish that is the challenge of our times.

9. Well said Journeyman!

A voice of reason, clarity and common sense. ;)

[MrBenchley]

10. I'll say the words "Ned Lamont"

and watch the thread come screeching to a halt...

[Zynx]

13. Every person who owns an S&P 500 Index fund owns Halliburton.

[nickshepDEM]

17. My thoughts too.

[Justice]

15. He did not get rich from Halliburton.

Don't support him if you wish, but for heaven sakes, get your facts straight.

[Zynx]

16. Problem is that people now just make shit up just to make their points.

This is one of those cases.
