Florida Recount Funded by Enron/Halliburton
The Bush Family’s Made Men
According to IRS documents, the Bush campaign took in $13.8 million, most in large contributions. Listed among those large contributors were Bush and Cheney’s two most reliable genies - Enron and Halliburton.
While the Gore/Lieberman campaign filed its IRS disclosures of their Florida recount expenditures months ago, the Bush’s recount fund filed the required forms at the very last moment allowed by law. July 15 was the final day of an IRS amnesty program for groups that hadn’t already complied with the law.
Enron was the allowed to meet with Cheney six times during the California energy crisis, but one of the state’s senator could not.
Is anyone surprised?
