Based on your post history, Fred could walk in looking like Tom Cruse and speaking like Ronald Reagan and you would still trash him...

sorry- i just disagree...I don’t trust him (Fred) at all.....

Hunter is doing very well...but Huckabee is very real also...I don’t agree with him on many issues...but he isn’t really fake....

now McCain and Romney take the cake on fake and ridiculous....

The same people who vote in Kerry and Kennedy term after term, also voted for Romney......that is ALL I need to know about him......he also reminds me of the SNL skit with Dan and Steve....”Two wild and crazy guys!”

ugh...Mitt smacks of elitist smug and fake....

At this point, people want to hear from Romney, Giuliani and Thompson ... the others are just wasting people’s time.

Hogwash! I want to hear from them all,not just the media appointed ones.

But don't worry. With the primaries being lumped into a week or two, only the filthy rich will be eligible to run.

Then George Soros will buy the White House with ease.

Rudy must be standing on a box. He is nearly a foot shorter than Fred and the camera only makes Fred about 6 inches taller

He came back in the next debate, with the famous “age and experience” quip, and won another FDR-esque landslide. But then again, he’d already won one landslide presidential election. Comparing FDT to Reagan is laughable. Everyone’s so impressed that FDT is a TV actor. Other than that, there’s nothing about him that’s impressive. Zip. Nada.

If you like Paul, it sounds like your mind is so open it fell out.

Swedish prosecutor launches probe into OMX share trade

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/10/09/business/EU-FIN-COM-Sweden-OMX.php

“A Swedish prosecutor on Tuesday launched an investigation into possible insider trading in shares of Nordic bourse operator OMX AB in the days before Nasdaq and Borse Dubai announced a joint takeover effort for the company.

“The investigation will show whether there was any information leakage and whether this information was then used for trading,” said Robert Engstedt, a prosecutor at The Swedish National Econmics Crime Bureau.

On Sept. 20, Nasdaq and Borse Dubai settled their long battle for OMX in a complex deal that would eventually see Nasdaq take over the Stockholm-based company. Their joint bid for OMX has since been raised by 15 percent to

US$4.9 billion, or 265 kronor (€28.96; US$41.13) per share.”

~~~~

Dubai is doing massive global investments, attempting
to secure their financial base for the day when their
petroleum resources are eventually exhausted.
What they doing is incredible. The Sheik is
really progressive financially.

~~~~

Welcome to Du-Buy?

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1668459,00.html

Or, to be more specific, buying it. In September another dizzying array of multibillion-dollar deals became public, notably Dubai’s bid to acquire a 20% stake in NASDAQ, the high-volume New York City-based stock exchange known for its listing of star tech firms including Apple, Cisco Systems, Dell, Microsoft and Yahoo!

Dubai’s move demonstrates the fulsome financial power of a region possessing tidal liquidity—as much as $2 trillion, by some estimates—built up by two years of oil prices topping $60 per bbl.

“Nothing can stop them,” says Hassan Heikal, CEO of EFG-Hermes, the region’s leading investment bank. “These guys have investment managers as good as their counterparts in global institutions.”

The early signs are that Dubai’s NASDAQ deal will not meet the kind of congressional opposition—part security concerns, part xenophobia—that last year forced a Dubai entity, DP World, to sell its control of U.S. port operations.

If the deal goes through, the government-controlled Borse Dubai would get 5% of the voting rights and two seats on NASDAQ’s 16-member board.

Dubai will also get the 28% share that NASDAQ holds in the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

In the past year, Dubai companies have also gambled on a $5 billion investment for a 9.5% share of MGM as well as a piece of MGM’s new CityCenter in Las Vegas, fashioned a $942 million takeover of the retailer Barneys New York and bulldozed a $1 billion deal for John Laing Homes, the second largest privately held builder in the U.S.”

POC — what’s your take on this? It always stumps
me how the terrorists don’t go after their wealthy
neighbors who are becoming so westernized,
but instead target US.

"someone like Ron Paul is scorned upon"

If you LISTEN to Ron Paul rambling and yodeling, you cannot help but think "is this who I want as Commander-in-Chief"?

As much as I would like to see the laws ALREADY into law enforced it’s too late to deport 38 million and their AMERICAN kids to Mexico and other countries. The govt. dropped the ball and now WE have to foot the bill for those that have broken the law. Some states DO NOT want to enforce the law because they fear a backlash...go figure?!!

I agree, but how do we get Rudy, Fred, Mitt and McCain out of there?

Poll more than single digits!
