hehe. Another example of Republicans putting money before morals. Talking one way, acting another. Republicans are simply pathetic.
Rudy Giuliani's law firm lobbies for Citgo Petroleum Corp., a unit of the state-owned oil company controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who calls President Bush a "madman" and a "devil."
Bracewell & Giuliani registered to lobby for Citgo in Texas on April 26, 2005, less than a month after Giuliani joined the firm and became a name partner, state records show.
Citgo renewed the contract in 2006 and 2007 and pays the firm $5,000 a month to track legislation.
Giuliani doesn't lobby, the firm says.
Patrick Oxford, a managing partner at Bracewell & Giuliani, said Giuliani has no dealings with the Venezuelan-owned oil company. "He has not seen hide nor hair of Citgo," Oxford said.
Giuliani's campaign released a statement that didn't address written questions asking whether he knew his firm did business with Citgo and whether he considered it appropriate.
The e-mailed statement discussed his views on Chavez and energy policy.
"Mayor Giuliani has been clear and consistent - Hugo Chavez is no friend of the United States," campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said in the statement. "Chief among the reasons Chavez has so much influence around the world is our ongoing dependence on foreign oil."

it would be a lot more peaceful on the board and we'd probably get more accomplished if he would have just said, "another example of politicians,... Politicians are so pathetic"

I guess this type of statement would be valid if you called out blanket anti-liberal statements....
anyhoo, I wonder, do you think republicans can do know wrong...? for me, I believe they all do wrong and have been doing wrong since the very beginning....
now, let's talk about Giuliani and his links to Chavez....It looks like Mr. SavedNY has some 'splanin to do...
I dont think one party is worse then the other when it comes to bullshit.
I need more information but I would also like to find out whats going on. although this was said...

this article isnt exactly some smoking gun that limbo will lead you to believe
I guess this is not enough info
Rudy's name is on the sign...technically, his law firm lobbies for hugo...I'm sure when Rudy gets is check, he doesn't make sure hugo did not help pay for it...
I guess I should have clarified it as 95% of Republicans and roughly 15 % of Democrats are dirty bastards. Money is the conservative's god.

Ignorance is Strength
not my quote but whatever. only 15% of democrats huh? this board is too funny.
where the hell is this 85%?????
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
good question...!!!
Sometimes the mentally ill make up their own friends.
do you speak from experience....?
Absolutely. I still believe in the intelligent liberal.
ouch!!!
