Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton too!I have been saying this for months now very high ranking Americans will be tied to the oil for food scandel
don't know if you or others saw the Chris Matthews Sunday morning show .. he ends with a segment on "scoops" .. where he says "tell me something I don't know!" ... and Andrea Mitchell brought up this Oil for Food scandal, announcing that Texas oilmen weren't named .. prompting the Spitter to ask "R or D" and ever-so-knowingly Ms. Mitchell says "R" I about jumped thru the tv, having read this thread earlier, but suspect Wyatt is not the only one involved ... and if there are R's, you can bet they will get the headlines.
Campaign contributions are recorded quarterly - there weren't any in the first quarter, but then again, Kerry hadn't been nominated yet. If there have been any since, they aren't published yet.
What a cute little den of thieves.
Isn't it amazing how all of these slimey bastards are connected with Soddom's Oil Blood Money scheme?
It would be interesting to know which Republicans, if any, received any of the remaining $200K
In the 1-50 posts I saw a list of who the money went to. John McCain was the only Republican name I recognized. There may be more but I only saw McCain
good catch
He also donated at least $100,000 to Republicans. This is not so black and white as one would wish.
$500,000 to Democrats kind makes it more black and white
Yes, but according to Newsweek, over $500,000 has been given to the Democratic Party. Like a good businessman, he gives to both parties - but it's heavily weighted in favor of the Democrats.
I'll try to dig more into that after I finish this project I'm working on today. I think there are some big clues there.
Ping me when you get something...

Will do.
And here we have the word that WYATT IS A "LIFELONG DEMOCRAT"
http://www.hcn.org/servlets/hcn.Article?article_id=4069
He built an oil empire
By many accounts, Wyatt, a lifelong Democrat, is a colorful and hard-driving character.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Wyatt, a mechanical engineer by training, started the Hardly Able Oil Co. in 1951 on an $800 loan, using his 1949 Ford as collateral.
In 1955, he founded Coastal States Oil and Gas Co., gathering gas from small producers and combining it with Coastal?s gas before selling the gas in large quantities to big pipelines. Coastal States had revenues of $12 billion in 1996, with net profits of $402 million.
As he built Coastal Corp. into the nation?s 12th-largest oil company, an empire that includes 1,700 gas stations and natural-gas pipelines across Colorado and Wyoming, Wyatt regularly dragged his opponents, and even his allies, into court. In 1984, for example, he sued a Venezuelan oil company, claiming the company was trying to drive his company out of business.
More recently, he got bad publicity on a global scale, as Coastal Corp. or its subsidiaries attempted major oil deals with Muammar Qaddafi of Libya and Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
"Oscar Wyatt would sup with the devil if he could make money from it," wrote Forbes Magazine columnist Toni Mack in 1996. At a display of the Russian crown jewels in Houston last year, Wyatt?s wife, socialite Lynn Wyatt, described her husband as having a lot in common with Czar Peter the Great.
Wyatt stepped down as chairman of Coastal Corp. last year, but has remained on the corporation?s board of directors. At last year?s gathering of Coastal Corp. stockholders, a video tribute to Wyatt offered praise from both the right (Bob Dole) and the left (Jesse Jackson).
I'd love to think that justice will come to this treasonous hack "oil man" for selling out our interests to Hussein for a quick buck and political capital for the Dems, BUT I'm a little too cynical for that.
The MSM on the whole will bury this article so low that even Newsweek won't dare do a follow-up, unless it is to apologize to the Democrats for daring to even insinuate that a "big oil" crook can also be a (*gasp*) liberal Kerry-ite.
Remember Sandy Berger? That his Watergate-sized illegal activity has not caused him to be wearing an orange jumpsuit and watching his back in the shower today is another affront to justice that the MSM has helped create.
Hmmmm? This is very interesting.
Back when the dems were briefly in charge of the Senate, Loserman said he was going to have hearings on Enron and they would "bury Bush".
The funny thing was .. shortly after starting the hearings, they were suddenly shut down. I suspected it was because it led directly back to Clinton or some other democrats (and not to Bush), and this guy who was involved in the OFF program might have been the reason why the Enron hearing didn't go anywhere.
And .. I was always curious why the MSM was never curious about why the hearings were shut down. But .. now that we know it was a big dem donor who was involved in OFF .. it explains the MSM's lack of curiosity for anything Enron.
SOROS CONNECTION! Soros is listed in the SEC filings of El Paso Corp - the company that bought Coastal Corp from Oscar Wyatt.

Zilkha is listed in the SEC filings as well.
I heard the same report on Matthews show. Mitchell is such a schill. The whole panel made me sick except the black gentleman.
