Another Reason to Repeal Sarbox
Posted by: Patrick Ruffini at 9:45 AM
Rudy Giuliani is fundraising... in London! Tim Montgomerie's Britain and America blog notes the regulatory roots behind the offshore fundraising boom:
But it's not all summitry.  A key reason for Giuliani's visit is to extract money from the wealthy and growing American population that can be found in London.  Huge numbers of American businessmen and firms operate in London - the numbers have allegedly been swollen by people escaping the regulatory insensitivity of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Some London politicians have suggested that a statue of Senator Sarbanes and Representative Oxley be erected in the booming Docklands area of Britain's capital city as a cheeky thank you for the business that (disputedly) has migrated across the Atlantic as a consequence of their lawmaking.
Here's Rudy outside Number 10. Joe's right: this is a shot any candidate would kill for:

GOP
can get plenty of support from conservatives if they listen to them and stop "pandering" to illegal aliens.

The CFR must really be happy with the likes of Rudy and Thompson, "carrying their water".


I will not vote for anybody who is a member of the CFR,.....and that takes in just about all the RINOs, as far as I can tell.

Bottom line, they are all illegal alien amnesty lovers.

Blacks want the border secured and the laws enforced, too. The GOP has a tremendous opportunity to reach out to all Americans who are in favor of upholding the law. Something like 75-80% of the population.
Joe writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 3:50 PM
Jack Kemp Speaks!
"We sound like we don't want immigration; we sound like we don't want black people to vote for us," said former congressman Jack Kemp (N.Y.), who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 1996. "What are we going to do -- meet in a country club in the suburbs one day? If we're going to be competitive with people of color, we've got to ask them for their vote." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/18/AR2007091801781.html

I have a feeling this statement will bother a few of you, but Kemp is right. Immigration is a good thing. Illegal immigration is the problem. The GOP needs to reach out to all groups.

Aren't Any of You Bothered
At the sight of American conservative candidates making pilgrimage (and fundraising! legally!) on foreign soil and seeking a foreigner's blessing? I respect Lady Thatcher too, but let's face it -- if the Dems did this, everyone would be muttering darkly about UN black helicopters and globalizers controlling US politics. And the mutterers, in between their conspiracy-talk, would have a point.

Ruffini's right -- we need to put a stop to the laws that let this happen.

Where's Townhall on the Nightmare Act?
I agree, John. There have been no articles on the subject, one which concerns conservatives (and many liberals, for that matter) a lot more than the latest tidbit on Rudy or Mitt or Fred.
james793 writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 12:48 PM
Fred!
schleped to England, too, about the same time the big battle over CIR reform was raging here. His speech was a total snore. Didn't lift a finger to defeat Amnesty, either. fraud.
Virginia Patriot writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 12:38 PM
Rudy the Best?
He may be the best liberal New Yorker that cheap labor express money can buy, but the GOP can do alot better. If we can't, well, what difference does it make who wins? The Bald Hillary or the one with hair? Same destination, just a matter of how fast we go over the cliff.
SEEHAWK writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 12:33 PM
Bugsy?
And you think Hillary's speech intonation will get her elected? That "nagging wife monotone" will cause each testosterone driven male to pull the Republican lever and never say a word about it to his wife! Run, Hillary, Run!

We spend more on breakfast cereal a year than we do to elect the President of the most prosperous nation in the history of mankind. Who determines elections are too expensive? The Marxists?
John writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 12:15 PM
Heh.
"There is no other candidate that can beat Hillary."

Given that Rudy is to the left on Hillary on several issues, I expect that many Democrats will cross over to vote for him. But that does not mean that he and he alone can win.

There is no reason that whoever we nominate can defeat Hillary. We don't HAVE to nominate a liberal ourselves in a desperate effort to get power at all costs.


Stll nothing on the allegedly conservative political web site about the latest amnesty bill. Where does you precious Rudy stand on it, as if we don't know?

skep41 writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 11:28 AM
Rudy Is The Best!
There is no other candidate that can beat Hillary. The others are closeted with their teams of strategists trying to woo a small percentage of voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, hoping for a bounce into the big states, while Rudy is working toward a much broader strategy. He has imagination, he moves quickly, he fights. We Republicans need him, the country needs him.
Virginia Patriot writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 11:09 AM
Nominate Rudy=Elect Hillary
You're going to have to get alot of Dems. to switch to make up for the gun owners, amnesty opponents, pro-life, and traditional marriage voters who will not vote for him.
Virginia Patriot writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 10:54 AM
Rudy's Answer To Illegal Aliens
Same as Bush, wants more of them. Do you?
roho writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 10:34 AM
Seeking Thatcher's Approval?
Globalist have some strange ways of seeking U.S. Citizens votes?....Fred Thompson had to go see Baroness Margaret Thather prior to kicking off his campaign. Has all of the "Special Intrest Money" in the U.S. dried up? Does America no longer tote the financial burden of it's own presidential elections? Does the "Bank of England" invest in our elections? Does the French and Germans and British seek councel with past American Presidents while campaigning? And of course the Clintons enjoy the Chinese influence when selling off America..........The system has become way too expensive. It's broken.
Pasadena Phil writes: Wednesday, September, 19, 2007 10:33 AM
Amazing
There is nothing that can't be accomplished when you have all that globalist special interest money and machinery behind you. Did Rudy bring up what he's going to do to stop that D.R.E.A.M act Trojan horse legislation that is on the table? Didn't think so. My bet is that Hillary will be making her own appearance at No. 10 soon. Same money, same agenda, different haircut.

He could dress up as Margaret Thatcher with that background behind him.
