\_ walton, walmart, hick states, very very red. Buffet, Bush's buddy,
should also be very red. I'm guessing that Gates is very blue
because he's in Washington, but that's kind of far fetched.
\_ Buffet's a liberal. Gates is an Ayn Rand fan, apparently.

\_ Buffett is a Democrat, but he's hardly a liberal. -tom
\_ I ve heard enough from Buffett to know he is only not
a 'real liberal' to a Berkeley kook like you. -- ilyas
\_ Probably the best description of Buffett is
"Fiscal Conservative Democrat".
\_ Ayn Rand, objectivism, self reliant, etc etc etc.
Republican?
\_ Objectivists range from (moderate) conservative to
libertarian. They don't like government very much.
-- ilyas
\_ Larry Ellison. The bastard is the most conceited, selfish
dickhead who cares about nothing except beating Gates.
You know I've never seen him at work the 5 years I was at
Oracle, a company that makes *1* great [overpriced] product
and 99 other shitty products, like apps, tools, ERP, CRM.
Anyways, Ellison reminds me of Bush with his "fuck everyone
else" attitude, so if I had to make a guess, I'd say he's
a Republican. In fact I'd say most of the people on the
list are probably Republicans. |
