If Diebold is up for sale--

--why can't we get Soros or Buffett to buy it? They certainly spent a lot of money working against Bush, but not on the single thing that might help us the most.

did anyone ever mention that Soros was WITH Bush at his clandestine meeting in the desert somewhere while Bush was running from 911?

How convenient. I doubt everything he does from there on.

Do you have links? I will be floored if this is true.

But I do remember the instance. That time period is very vivid in my memeory.
There was some question at the time at why Soros would be at the same military base where Bush was hiding out . the squirm that he is . and Soros .. I'll look. Thanks for your interest.

Unless he was there too.

Would be nice to see all those Pro-Liberal "voting irregularities" ! I know it is bad to tamper with votes, but we would be saving the country from the buffoons. JK btw.

but a Liberal company owning the ballot boxes would stir the cons to demand a papeer trail as well.
Y'know because only liberals would cheat...

Are you mistaking that recommendation to short Diebold stock as some kind of remark that DieboldES is for sale?

If its stock drops low enough, then someone could buy them out.

There's a divestiture group www.velvetrevolution.org. But I'll was wondering if there could be enough power to purchase controlling interest in Diebold.

Discuss!

Democrats' new alliance backed by $80 million

By Thomas B. Edsall
The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — At least 80 wealthy liberals have pledged to contribute at least $1 million each to fund a network of think tanks and advocacy groups, to compete with the potent conservative infrastructure built up over the past three decades.

The money will be channeled through a new partnership called the Democracy Alliance, founded last spring in a series of liberal initiatives as the Democratic Party and its allies struggle with the loss of power in Congress and the White House. Many influential Democratic contributors were left angry and despairing over the party's poor showing in last year's elections, and are looking for more effective ways to invest their support.

Financial commitments totaling at least $80 million over the next five years at a time when some other liberal groups, such as George Soros-backed America Coming Together, are floundering, suggest the Democracy Alliance is becoming a player in the long-term effort to reinvigorate the left. The group has a goal of raising $200 million, a sum that would inevitably come partly at the expense of more traditional Democratic groups....

Diebold is not up for sale, at least not any more than it usually is as a publicly-traded company.

Diebold's a publicly-traded company with a valuation in the range of several billion dollars, with millions of shares on the market. You don't just "buy" a publicly-traded company. What do you want Soros to do, write a $3-billion check to someone? Or should he just pay cash?

Seriously. :eyes:
