Along with others

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization's members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY's List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.

It would make a safe bet that after he helped out with all of the bank bailouts he should expect more out of Wall St. When he gets ready to run again.

Yes.

I go through a shitload of audiobooks and Audible is great.

iPod or any MP3 player, or smartphone will work.

They have a list of devices on the site.

The books are like 9 or so bucks each if you buy one of the memberships.

That just means you pre pay for a number of books.

Mine gives you 24 a year.

I will, this sounds great. By the time I get home at night I am useally tired from reading all day as it is. I do work in the printing industry. Between reading online plus everything else my eyes are tired.

This way, Ron Paul uses it for Ron Paul's campaign, and then the ones after that as well.

Sort of bullshit if you ask me. At the least he should throw a huge bash at Cleveland Stadium.

Where do say for instance, Ron Paul's money go when he doesn't win? I mean that dude made a shit load of money and didn't spend much at all.

I know. But personal experience shouldn't be the only barometer here. If you can't imagine or don't think about what other people go through without having someone you know personally involved, you're always going to have your head up your ass.

The book is great. You'll blow through it, don't worry.

fit with his bigoted politicism.

Of course, part of that is accusing others of bigoted politicism.

Kinda Soviet Unionish in the old days, to me.

Of course that's limited to nitpicking the opposition.

We don't often see you calling out your own bedfellows.

@chicopee-john said:

This is off topic, Heck, but what is your feeling about - let's say - Blackwater. Do you believe every employee is/was a criminal? A lot of them?

No. Who thinks every employee of Blackwater is/was a criminal? That's not really where the debate about Blackwater/military contractors is, is it? Or the Halliburton debate, for that matter.

Someone in our family was a former Marine and Blackwater employee who was killed in Iraq protecting a government official. (The official lived.)

Again, have the debate with the cartoon Cindy Sheehan version in your head if you must, but at some point you have to take that head out of your ass.
