We got our hands on the invitation to Giuliani’s London fundraiser, and here are some of the numbers:
-$10,000: Roundtable for hosts who raise this amount
-$2,300: Per person photo opportunity and lunch 
-$1,000: Per person lunch

dont forget these are the moron's will be leading the country wather we like it not its like we dont even have the choice anymore
The platformless leadership in the Democrat party has gone so far south that I've successfully alienated many fellow Afr Amer neighbors from their rhetoric.
I think Rudy is a faaaaaar better contender than Bill and Hill. Enough Bushes and Clintons...go home...oh, Double U has a home. Those other guys are not allowed back home.
I've managed tp successfully alienate many fellow Afr Amer from the platformless leadership of the Democrat Partyers. I think Rudy will be a fine choice. Hill and Bill can go home...oops...Double U is the only one who can do that. Those other guys are not welcome back home!
This information was presented as neither positive nor negative, so any complaints about the "liberal" MSNBC and/or unfair treatment of Guiliani are purely the result of the complainant's own take on the facts.  seems like our right wing friends aren't happy about it either, with the amount of protesting they're doing...
lee holmes  try halliburton ( oops they moved out of america too avoid prosicution ) they are an oil company!
Considering there are hundreds of thousands of Americans living in western Europe, it makes sense to drain these wealthy Americans of cash. If I was a candidate, I would make fundraising stops in ex-pat hotspots like the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, and somewhere in Asia.

These events are pretty controlled to prevent foreign donations seeing you need an American passport to donate.
The story is that rudy the red nosed republican can't get enough americans to fund his warchest so its off to merry old england for pounds and shillings...no more whining from the right about the clinton fundraisers, at least she kept it in her own country unlike rudy the cowardly chickenhawk right wing nutjob
to all the outsource idiots on this board.  if you look at the invite plus the 2 page info form you will notice that only US citizens can contribute.  i know because i was there.  Rudy is smart since there is a large US ex-pat community in London.  London is after all now the biggest financial center in the world.  think that might have something to do with it?  While there I heard that either Barack or Michelle Obama were going to come to London as well.
" WOW I THINK ALL DEMS HAVE AT LEAST A THIDR GRADE EDUCATION. WHY WOULD I POST HERE WHEN I CAN GO TO FOXNEWS.COM AND READ THE REAL TRUTH. "

A good place for you, with your sub "THIDR" grade education and total lack of grammar skills. Go get some "truth," you jack ass.
I see no Guiliani supporter cared to respond to my post about Rudy shirking his responsibility to assist in the war on terror by blowing off the Iraq Study Group.  The truth hurts, doesn't it?  Again I say, "Shame on you, Mr. Mayor!"  
i'll respond.  what's worse?  pulling out of the 9/11 commission hearings (post the event) or an administration (remember it was a 2 for 1 deal so the she's responsible too!) which did nothing to deal with AQ, etc. post the 1993 WTC bombing?  yup, i guess the truth hurts, but more importantly over 3000 people died because Lil Abner was too busy gittin some lovin in the oval office.
Guys,

You may not realise it, but.... There are tens of thousands of Americans resident in Great Britain- many of them from key states such as Ohio and Florida .  Both Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad have good sized organisations in all Eurpean countries, all full of Americans who want to be involved in the election. Theres nothing sinister about either a Democrat or Republican visiting London to touch base with Americans who can support their campaign.
