The Right wants to waste ludicrous amounts of time and energy accusing 
George Soros of making his money dealing drugs or running web sites out 
of the Caymans.  Unfortunately for tax payers, little to no attention 
is ever paid to the corporate hand outs and no-bid contracts given to 
their side.  Sorry America - you've been scammed.  (No sarcasm 
intended.)

"In a meeting with investors in Houston toward the end of September, 
Halliburton's chief executive, David Lesar, said the company had become 
the target of a "vicious campaign" of political attacks ahead of the 
presidential election. The company's workers, he added, "don't deserve 
to have their jobs threatened for political gain". Another reason for 
wanting to quit Iraq is that 45 of the company's workers have died 
there.

As the presidential election has heated up, so has the temperature 
surrounding Halliburton. The company has become a useful piece of 
shorthand for the newly aggressive democratic nominee, John Kerry.

He told an audience in Albuquerque on a campaign trip last month: "Dick 
Cheney's old company, Halliburton, has profited from the mess in Iraq 
at the expense of American troops and taxpayers. While Halliburton has 
been engaging in massive overcharging and wasteful practices under this 
no-bid contract, Dick Cheney has continued to receive compensation from 
his former company."
