No problem, I just wanted to be sure we were talking
about the same person. I had thought it was James
Carville who was responsible for much of the Democratic
Party Platform in the recent past and Howard Dean today.

On the surface it looks like George Soros provides more
funding than policy--quite a contrast with Pat Robertson
who dictates much of the Republican policy. However
maybe Mr Soros is just more subtle.

Do you actually know who Pat Robertson is? Or did you just hear his name on
Air America (assuming it hasn't gone off the air in your area)? I wouldn't
necessarily put Pat in the neighborhood of kook fringe, but he certainly
doesn't dictate policy for the Republican party.

I've watched Pat Robertson on the 700 Club, in interveiws,
and on his cooking show. I've seen him do the Faith-healing
fraud to raise money.

If you do not realize he is a cult leader then, as they say,
you must have drunk the kool-aid.

Guilt by association. Robertson was once a slighly provocative
ultra-conservative with a religious fan base. He has aged into
becoming a loon. No serious political platform is built around
his personal insanity and suggesting so is just flatly wrong.
Certainly the Republican party has to pay some homage' to the
Religious Right - they are a considerable constituency - but that
hardly makes him a principal in Republican policy setting.

Personally, I find Robertson's lunacy far more entertaining than, say,
Kennedy's (who is just another tired old drunk)...

What is Air-America? Sounds like it is worth checking out.
