How much of your $$$ would you spend to see GW out of the WH? |
|
If, as George Soros said, it could be guaranteed. Soros apparently said he would give his fortune, which I believe is 7 billion dollars. I find that comment absolutely fascinating; of course I'm sure he has rich relatives who he could sponge off of. He has donated around 15 million to organizations geared toward defeating *. That's .2% of his net worth.
You don't have to give a $$$ amount; a percent of your net worth (sorry, but this has to be for those who have a net worth) is fine. Remember. This is for a guaranteed defeat. What is it worth to you?

3. Okay. You don't get to pick his replacement. |
|
That could be a problem. It would be a non-Republican.

Would you really give all of it?

is $200. Piece of cake. If I had 100K in cash and a house paid for I would give 10% In other words I would tithe to Dean if he were the nominee instead of giving it to the church.

12. If it guaranteed ousting *, yes... |
|
foreigncorrespondent is going to kill me for saying that, but yes, really. In the long run, if * gets another four years to do any more damage -- and if it's as bad as I fear it might be -- no one will be safe, anywhere on the planet. The sad, cold, hard fact is: As the U.S. goes, so goes the world.
Bear in mind, this is only on the hypothetical condition that divesting myself of every penny would guarantee * gone. In reality, if I had $100K right now, I'd move to Australia this minute.
At least that way, if * put the next phase of PNAC into effect, fc and I would have a few good ... months? ... before the radiation reached the southern hemisphere. Isn't that a depressing thought? LOL

14. I'm not going to kill you for saying it |
|
Hell, baby, if I had millions I would give it all to getting rid of the wanker-in-chief.
Our lives and this world mean more to me than money.

money is a merely a tool to be used. He is so smart no doubt he is confident that he could make more money in a hearbeat after that - he enjoys the challenge of finding ways to make it, not hoard it. And whats he gonna do with it. Be the richest man in the graveyard? I mean after food, shelter, health, and clothes, how many toys does one need? The problem is that too many people in the world are struggling to get just one toy after the basics, and he recognizes that.

6. Hmmm. Soros could give $6.9 billion |
|
and still have $100 million left. 6.9 billion would probably qualify for "his fortune", and it's 98% of his worth, but I couldn't give 98% of mine.
I'm pretty much giving all I can short of selling my house.
