Paulson is not a Democrat. He’s a Republican.

Do you have a source for that?

The best discussion I've seen of Paulson's political leanings is in Robert Novak's article Hank Paulson's DNA. It seems to say Paulson has donated to both parties, and his allegiance is not political, but rather to his own power and wealth.

[rlbedfor]

I can take all three at once with ease!

[ncalburt]

Your right .
Never mind.
I take that BACK.
He is a big buds with Chuckie Schummer and John Corzine .

I like that you never let facts get in the way of your arguments:

Political donations of Henry Paulson

$336,250* Republican (51%)

$13,990 Democrat (2%)

$311,300 special interest (47%)

total: $661,540

So, yeah, he's donated to both parties. But he's donated more than 25 times as much money to Republicans than Democrats.

NOw I recall the scope on this guy after that Novak piece. What are special interest ? Dem 527s ?

Paulson largely Democrat party staffers leaked the Repub GOP bill ideas submitted to him to Obama. Obama used them in the Thursday meeting to blow it up .
Paulson reportedly knew about the leak and warned no one .
Rush reported about that fact on Friday.
Paulson is no repub . Just an sleazy operator trying to bail out his buddies who are mostly Dems .

Did I read somewhere that it is his wife who handles the Democrat donations?

[LiberalsSpendYourMoney]

Give it up burty. No one who is a rat donates 25x as much money to Republicans.

[ncalburt]

Your the one that seems to be in denial about Paulson Democrat Party run Federal Reserve not me !
Paulson STAFF gave Obama the GOP request list in secret to sabotage the Thursday meeting with the Pres Bush and Paulson KNEW ! These staffers are still at the Fed Res as we speak busy working for Obama !
I could care less about Paulson's donations to the BUsh family who gave him a few JOBS.
I noticed how you ignore these facts and those special donations. So I give it right back to You!

[ncalburt]

What about Paulson wife ‘s political donations to Dems ??
You seem to be real interested in protecting Paulson !

[LiberalsSpendYourMoney]

Oh, damn it. You’re onto me. Yes, Paulson and I are best buds. Keep quiet about it though.

[ncalburt]

Good , that solved the riddle of the day.
So move on.
But feel free to check up on Mrs Paulson donations sometime .

[LiberalsSpendYourMoney]

Oh, I forgot to mention something.

Thanks for bailing out our buddies. American taxpayers are so generous.

[dragnet2]

My fear?

The government bailouts keep coming.

[supercat]

The government bailouts keep coming.

Until things get so bad that the government can't bail them out. Then we only question will be whether we speak Russian or Chinese.

[buccaneer81]

My fear? The government bailouts keep coming.

I agree. The economy may well crash in six months. But in the meantime, we'll keep pouring money into a black hole.
