Wonder if Russ will take the time to connect the dots on Perter Schweizer, Robert Mercer, Ted Cruz, and Sarah Palin? I suspect he'll take as much time doing that as he has in connecting dots on the Koch Brothers. The selective dot connecting never stops with him.
The fool doesn't realize that whenever someone of his ilk mentions Vince Foster, Whitewater, etc, that's another undecided vote going Hillary's way because of the crazies. He doesn't get it and he never will. :):)

lmao. Russ is one delusional fool. Good question though....wonder why he never connects the dots on the right.

Hysterical that he thinks logging onto breitbart.com is connecting dots.

That should be your job. You are pretty stupid if you don't realize that I have been posting about Koch Bros for a long time (Tom Steyer thread). Have they ever held public office. Get real dude. Bringing the Koch Bros into the conversation with Hillary is absurd. I will always select the one I choose and I will always connect the dots that dolts like you want to ignore. I picked Hillary let's see you do the same with the Republican candidates you brought. Talk is cheap. I do what I say I will. You even copy my phrase. Yes I get it and I can and will continue to connect the dots.

Well there's one relevant person mentioned here. That would be Ted Cruz. You have some dots to connect? Many of us would be interested.

Cruz is as squeaky clean as they come.

Sure he is. He's being funded by Billionaire Robert Mercer. He's as dirty as every other Politician that's beholden to big money.

[h=1]Hedge-Fund Magnate Robert Mercer Emerges as a Generous Backer of Cruz[/h] By ERIC LICHTBLAU and ALEXANDRA STEVENSONAPRIL 10, 2015






WASHINGTON — The two men share a passion for unbridled markets, concerns about the Internal Revenue Service and a skeptical view of climate change.
Now the two — Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, and Robert Mercer, a Wall Street hedge-fund magnate — share another bond that could link them through November 2016: Both want to see Mr. Cruz elected president.

Mr. Mercer, a reclusive Long Islander who started at I.B.M. and made his fortune using computer patterns to outsmart the stock market, emerged this week as a key early bankroller of Mr. Cruz’s surprisingly fast campaign start. He is believed to be the main donor behind a network of four “super PACs” supporting Mr. Cruz that reported raising $31 million just a few weeks into his campaign.
The emergence of rich and relatively low-profile donors like Mr. Mercer could single-handedly jump-start a presidential campaign, said Trevor Potter, a campaign finance lawyer who served as a Republican member of the Federal Election Commission.

Robert Mercer Credit Andrew Toth/Getty Images “It just takes a random billionaire to change a race and maybe change the country,” Mr. Potter said. “That’s what’s so radically different now.”
Mr. Mercer does not have the name recognition of fellow Republican financiers like the Koch brothers or Sheldon Adelson, but he has spent more than $15 million since 2012 in support of conservative political campaigns and causes, donating to a number of candidates who had never even met him. Both moderate Republican candidates and Democrats in states like Iowa, New York and Oregon have found themselves in the cross hairs of expensive attack ads that he financed.
Mr. Mercer “is a very low-profile guy, but he’s becoming a bigger and bigger player,” said Bradley A. Smith, a campaign finance expert who was a Republican appointee on the Federal Election Commission. Mr. Mercer’s financial support for Mr. Cruz “sends the message to other donors that Cruz is a serious guy,” Mr. Smith said, “and that brings in other donors.”



Rep. Peter DeFazio, Democrat of Oregon, remembers with some bitterness Mr. Mercer’s opposition to his re-election campaign in 2014 when he spent about $650,000 on attack ads and other efforts in support of a conservative challenger.
“I don’t think the guy had ever even been to Oregon,” Mr. DeFazio said. He said he believed Mr. Mercer targeted him in part because of legislation Mr. DeFazio sponsored that threatened higher taxes for hedge funds like Mr. Mercer’s fund, Renaissance Technologies.
“He’s a patron for ultra-right-wing causes,” Mr. DeFazio said, “and in a Republican presidential race, being an ultra-right-wing millionaire from Wall Street isn’t going to hurt you.”
He is also an example of how wealthy donors have been empowered by the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in the landmark Citizens United case, which paved the way for super PACs. Unlike candidates, super PACs can accept unlimited amounts of money from individuals and corporations to support a candidate so long as they do not officially “coordinate” with the campaign. Many moneyed Wall Street veterans enjoy playing the political game, hosting fund-raisers and speaking publicly about the horse they are backing. Mr. Mercer is not one of them. A computer scientist by training, he is more at ease crunching numbers than pressing the flesh. Mr. Mercer declined to comment.




He prefers to stay quiet about most things. After receiving a lifetime achievement award from the Association for Computational Linguistics at an event last year, Mr. Mercer told the audience he was daunted by the prospect of speaking there for an hour, “which, by the way, is more than I typically talk in a month so it’s quite a challenge.”
Intensely private, he has been described as “an icy cold poker player” whose boss once jokingly called him “an automaton,” according to a description in “More Money Than God,” a book about the hedge fund industry by Sebastian Mallaby.
Before joining Renaissance Technologies, Mr. Mercer, 68, worked at I.B.M.’s research center, where he specialized in computerized translation of languages.
While little of his private life has been made public, some details have emerged in recent court cases. In 2013, a group of former workers at his house sued him for not paying overtime. They also accused him of deducting money from their semi-annual bonuses as a form of punishment for, among other things, failing to replace shampoos, close doors and change razor blades. “The matter has been resolved amicably,” Troy L. Kessler, a lawyer for the employees, said.
In 2009, Mr. Mercer sued RailDreams, a toy train manufacturer, and its president, Richard Taylor, for overcharging him $2 million for a contract to build and install a model train and railway set at his home.






Mr. Mercer has said nothing publicly about his financial backing for Mr. Cruz’s campaign or how he came to support him. But his daughter, Rebekah Mercer, who started a bakery in Manhattan called Ruby et Violette, has been more vocal. This week she held a fund-raiser for Mr. Cruz at her Manhattan apartment.
When James H. Simons, the billionaire founder of the Renaissance hedge fund, hired Mr. Mercer in 1993, the company was more university campus than Wall Street firm. Mr. Simons, a mathematician and former code-breaker for the National Security Agency, brought in astronomers and physicists to analyze reams of data, using computer programs to search for patterns that could be used to inform trading decisions. Mr. Simons has been a major political backer of Democrats, donating $8.3 million in 2014.
The hedge fund’s strategy has been tremendously successful. The firm’s flagship Medallion fund, which manages money only for employees today, has earned average annual returns of 35 percent for two decades. Over all, the firm manages $25 billion, much of it employees’ money.
Renaissance was also able to increase returns by borrowing large sums of money, but the practice eventually caught the attention of Washington and government agencies. Last year the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations accused Renaissance of using complex financial structures that allowed it to underestimate how much it owed the Internal Revenue Service by $6 billion.

Taxpayers “had to shoulder the tax burden these hedge funds shrugged off with the aid of the banks,” Senator Carl Levin of Michigan said at a hearing last summer.

The I.R.S. has been investigating Renaissance for at least six years. A spokesman for the firm said its tax practices were legal and appropriate.
Mr. Cruz’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment about Mr. Mercer’s support for his candidacy or his hedge fund’s $6 billion tax issue.

But the candidate, like his new Wall Street backer, has his own concerns about the I.R.S., which might have gotten Mr. Mercer’s attention. Last month, he called for the agency to be abolished altogether.

You give the Koch Brothers a pass, while railing against Soros and Steyer. Truth is they are opposite sides of the same coin, big money getting involved in politics, and influencing candidates through their big money. I decry that from ALL sides, you selectively decry it.

So where's the scandal? Was it Ted Cruz who didn't replace the razor blades or refill the shampoo?

You stack this up against the Hillary list that won't stop? You know the one with real issues like people dying and worldwide influence peddling the Mafia would be proud of?

What am I missing here? Are there more dots in a bag hiding behind the doors that weren't closed?

Damn.

The scandal is that huge money is able to unduly influence Presidential campaigns. On BOTH sides. That's OK with you, or is it just OK if you agree with a particular side?

Of course it's on topic. Hillary takes Money from Billionaires, Cruz takes Money from Billionaires. POTUS Politics has become pick your Billionaire. Hillary is beholden to hers, as Cruz, and Bush, and Walker, etc will be beholden to theirs, that's a given.
Bringing up nonsense like Vince Foster and Whitewater plays right into her hands. Those are long ago hashed and settled issues with the vast, vast majority of the Public, which only benefit Hillary when they are brought up nowadays, because it plays into her narrative of being the victim of crazy, partisan attacks.

Partisan attacks? You mean like a vast right wing conspiracy??? :pointer:

Pure nonsense.

There's a whole generation of voters who have never heard of Vince Foster and Whitewater, therefore a little review of history is in order.

And it'll work out as well now as it did back then. Add to her popularity with the independents and undecided, and backfire on those posting it and trying to harm her chances.

You would think that sheriff joe would just sit quietly and hope for the best. He has a decade long record of picking nothing but losers in politics and sports. Do these guys have any self awareness whatsoever?

this is the same guy that said Fred Thompson would be the next president? How he has the guts to make comments about voters and what they find important is beyond hysterical

Exactly, it is all about character. Guesser does not want to connect dots he wants to throw them in a box and shake them up. Facts are facts and I did a similar connecting of the dots on Obama after he took office. Obama was like Bill Clinton, nobody knew much about them until after they were elected. Now Hillary is a different story. She has a history of lying and deceit and transparency does not exist. Not the kind of person that anyone should want in office. This is not an anti Dem thread although Guesser is trying to make it an anti Rep thread. Like I said if I was a Dem I would be scouring the countryside for an alternative to Hillary. She is what she is. She is not trustworthy and I will never forgive her for Benghazi, but Benghazi does not stand alone. Her corruption trail has turned into a 4 lane highway and all roads lead to Bill and Hillary. There is no speed limit as they rack up millions and dispense favors like an ATM. Finance reform, no, that works both ways. I am talking about character and Hillary is lacking at every level. Oh well, what difference does it make, that sums up her attitude on just about everything. Her ties to Alinsky and his philosophy that the ends justify the means opens the door for her to do any and everything regardless of the consequences. Consequences are something that her supporters are co-conspirators in since they continually give her a pass. That is the Democrat's way, not the Democratic way.
