An Unlikely Marriage - Soros and Halliburton
I actually did several double-takes on this report, confident that it had come from a satiric publication like "the Onion." It's real all right, which proves that leftists don't always put their money where their mouths are.
Normally, I'm willing to overlook the hypocrisy of the liberal elite. ...But the latest move by globe trotting, hyper-liberal billionaire George Soros borders on being too much. According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 Soros purchased nearly 2 million shares of ... hold your breath ... Halliburton.Soros, of course, is the dean of Democratic money giving. And Halliburton, of course, is the company that embodies everything the Democrats see as evil. Dick Cheney is its former chief, for goodness' sake.
It's so ironic that Halliburton will be helping Soros to fight Halliburton, and that Soros will be helping Halliburton with capital funding and stock support. What's next...Al Gore holding stock in an oil company? Whoops, that's not a joke either. Is nothing sacred?

Micheal Moore uses Canadian studios because the labor is cheaper, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi, they either own stock in evil companies, employ illegals or hire non-union employees to keep costs down.
Read that book and you will see much more of this hypocrisy

To answer your rhetorical question..No nothing is sacred. :)

Soros has always been attracted to money ... there is no problem understanding his action ... he wants the money

"Do As I Say..." is a great book -- liberals won't read it because they don't want to officially know the truth about the hypocrisy their political leaders and other spokes"persons" represent.
Of course, they'll say Soros is doing nothing amiss, since to them only conservatives/ Republicans are capable of doing anything wrong. Liberals are, after all, the elite -- their acts, deeds, speech, etc are not governed the same way the rest of ours are.
