Wow. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/topstory2/3407592 Oscar Wyatt, Houston icon and uber Republican arrested for doing kickback biz with Sadaam! Not exactly the bleeding heart, Kofi Anan lovin', liberal the right was expecting to bag, I don't think. Oscar is big smoke in the Houston oil/politics/social scene in Texas. His wife, Lynn Sakowitz is a department store heir and they HAVE to know the Bushes. What a tangled web we weave...
I'm going to refrain from calling you a lying sack of sh!t, but only because I think you posted this without doing any research and ASSUMED a Texas oilman would be a Republican. On the contrary. Wyatt is a huge DEMOCRAT donor. Next time, get your facts straight first.
A quick scan of the FEC's database shows he donates to both parties in pretty big numbers, with a slight majority going to Democrats. As for me, when I think "Texas oilman", I always think of that guy on The Simpsons that's always shooting his guns off in the air.
Well, I worked for Coastal as a kid, and I would be very suprised, floored actually, if Oscar is a dem. I don't doubt for a minute he gives them money. And I sure do appreciate you not calling me a lying sack of sh!t. Your not a reactionary douchebag who picked out a small tidbit of tangential information instead of discussing the fact that an American Oil mogul has just been arrested for doing illegal business with Sadaam Hussein.
Maybe this link will help. Or, this one "Wyatt and wife Lynn are major donors to political causes: since 1989 they have given nearly $700,000 in contributions, of which more than $500,000 went to Democrats."
