Roll this little scenario in you head and see what you think. My thoughts are that there is a huge power play in the Democrat Party between Soros and the Clintons. Soros is aligned with Kennedy, Kerry and as I understand he is backing Obana against the Clintons. This is a huge power play for the control of the Democrat Party and ultimately the U.S. This is the biggie of our time that we are witnessing.The MSM is somewhat confused now as they don't know which candidate to back.
Right now Clinton is P.O. because of the money Geffort is giving Obana and also the true but unflattering statements made about the Clintons and Hillary in general. Geffort had raised around $18 million for the Clintons campaign in exchange for bedroom privilege in the Lincoln room. In exchange for that huge amount of money Geffort wanted Clinton to pardon his friend who had killed 2 FBI agents. That pardon would have been hard for any president to pardon.
I can't recall a presidential campaign starting 2 years in advance. My thoughts are that Soros wants Hillary to spend more money now so when she needs it at the end, it may not be there. As you recall,she has already stated she didn't need the matching funds but if I remember correctly, that was before Obana came on the scene so strongly. If Hillary can win the presidencey, Rudy will be the best candidate to run against. They both have corupt backgrounds. They agree on abortion and stem cells. They are both gun control freaks. With Guilani running it crosses out anything Clinton and Monica did. Carville won't miss a trick when showing Guilani cross dressing and laughing about it. At the end this will be one of the nastiest campaigns ever, IMO, as it has 2 years building, thanks to Soros. The Clintons have won the first round as they have managed to pull Obana off his roost and have shown him to be a politician just like the rest. He has backed a man for money who wanted a murderer of 2 FBI agents paroled. Politifcs is politics.
That being said, this is just a preview of what will be thrown at Rudy if he wins the nomination. The whole idea is to make Hillary the moral equivalent by dragging the whoever is the Republican nominee through as much dirt as possible.
McCain and Rudy both have enough crap on them to make this job easy.

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
Rudy Giuliani
Angry archivists and historians denounced the unprecedented hijacking of public property to private hands. Tom Connors, of the Society of American Archivists, said the transfer seemed part of a movement to "create barriers to the American citizen's right to know what their governments are doing."
The families of the police and fire rescuers who died in the attack balked at Giuliani's plan to take up to a year to dole out the money, with his new organization billing $2.2 million in anticipated administrative expenses (including six-figure salaries for friends he appointed as officers). The families argued that the fire union had far more quickly distributed $111 million with an estimated administrative cost of just $30,000.
Under embarrassing pressure from the victims' families, unions and state Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, Giuliani backed down. He promised to distribute the money within 60 days and fund his overhead from new donations. The families of the deceased rescuers, the real heroes of the September 11 attacks, received a one-time benefit of about $230,000 each from the Giuliani-privatized fund in 2002.
That year, the former mayor earned some $8 million in speaking fees alone, more than $650,000 per month.
IMO - Psychologically, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with Rudy. He is self-absorbed by P-O-W-E-R.

Hey Lancey!
How ya doin' man?
Just wanted to ping you to let you know that 'silly chart' as you call it has been posted again (#43 in this thread).
Have a great weekend in RudyLand.
:)
All of you are so funny about it. LOL
I think he stands the best shot of winning. I really do. He has been an ardent defender of the WOT and Iraq. That matters to me. Who esle is there? Mcain? Not a chance. I certainly wont vote for him. Im waiting for the Howard Dean YEE HA moment any second now! And frankly, I am sick of senators. I really am. Pompous idiots. I am sick to death of seeing them on tv everynight. I really am.
Let me stop. Its way to early in the morning to be this irritated. lol
