Carlyle Group-Ahnold-Dubya connectivity
From: http://www.public-i.org/story_01_021201.htm

relevant snip:

Bob Grady, a bureaucrat-turned-venture capitalist, started out working at the gubernatorial and congressional level, became the chief speechwriter and senior adviser for the 1988 Bush-Quayle campaign, and then served in that administration's Office of Management and Budget. He now counts himself among the heavy hitters at the Carlyle Group, where he is a partner and managing director in venture capital. (Carlyle is headed by former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, who has recruited several ex-Reagan and Bush staffers, including former Secretary of State James Baker and past budget chief Richard Darman. Billionaire financier George Soros and members of the Mellon family are also partners.) Grady also gave $9,000 to various federal campaigns in the past two years, $1,000 of that directly to Bush.

end snip

Bob Grady is also part of Ahnold's transition team ( http://www.joinarnold.com/en/transition/ - search "Bob Grady")

and he advises Ahnold on environmental issues.

Wow...VC, speechwriter, and OMB make one an expert on environmental issues...who knew?!


so, for all you good folks dutifully wearing your tin-plated stetsons:

Is this guy the BFEE liason to Ahnold's Sacramento? The man relaying instructions and making sure interests are being properly represented?

I'm thankful for a sick sense of humor which allows me to laugh instead of cry at this bullshet.

1. You know all this Carlyle Influence gets sicker by the minute. They are

everywhere! Turn on the light and you find them running. Average Americans sadly don't know and there's no way for them to understand the connections. I frankly wish I didn't know how bad it all is. And, I didn't learn until I came here.

Someone has to put this all together so that the average American who doesn't have time to devote to research or belong to a group that's politically active who can point them in a discovery direction can understand what this influence is doing to our country. We have a really small (if you think about it) group of people all former Repug Administration hacks running this country into the ground for their own ambitions.

2. If Bob Grady is the BFEE/Carlisle liason to the Republican Party then
George Soros is the BFEE/Carlisle liason to the Democratic Party.

We can't have it both ways...

I've been laughing and crying over this sick stuff for three years.
