I wasn't jumping on anyone for being rich. I was responding to part of what you said in Post 30.
"It could be "favors" are owed or even a little blackmailing going on. My deepest suspicion has to do with cold hard cash. The RNC was bragging about how Bushs' re-election campaign funds are spilling out of the bucket. I don't recall how many millions he has available but theres quite a few. So, are corporations donating to the fund in order to get their names onto the Iraq contact list?"The article I referred to was about the connections the Bush family has to wealthy ("cold hard cash") businessmen, a lot of them Mexican nationals. That could be where some of Bush's contributions are coming from. It could also explain Bush's non-action when it comes to Mexico. Maybe it's his family ties to old or current business partners that keeps him from doing what I believe he should do, which is to close the borders.
Anyway, it was just a thought (or a bit of a little conspiracy theory).
