~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mallory Factor founded Mallory Factor, Inc. in 1976. This merchant bank has a division that coordinates corporate meetings and events. It also markets corporate investor relations services, sometimes exchanging such services for an equity stake in a company. National Auto Credit (NAC), which made subprime used-car loans, retained these investor-relations services—and put Mallory Factor on its board in 2000, after paying $6.5 million to settle the shareholder lawsuits. Investors had sued NAC after its auditor quit in 1998 because it did not trust management’s numbers. Ironically, as Mallory Factor, Inc., billed NAC $431,000 for investor-relations services, NAC investors filed new lawsuits. The shareholders alleged that NAC directors—including Mallory Factor—breached their fiduciary duty by approving deals that lined the pockets of NAC executives and directors. In one deal, NAC subleased property or new exectutive offices from Mallory Factor, Inc. These shareholder lawsuits were consolidated in 2003, as NAC and the plaintiffs sought to negotiate a settlement. Mallory Factor, who heads the state Business for Growth PAC, became a major GOP kingmaker in New York after anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist advised him to organize monthly “Monday Meetings” of wealthy conservatives, who invite guests to discuss economic and other policies. Politicians flock to the confab, which is a fundraising gold mine. “We support free markets and keeping the burden government places on people’s lives under control,” Factor explained to the Washington Post in 2004. “We also look to change <politicians’> behavior. Sometimes we have to be the conservative eye for the liberal guy.” Factor told the Post that investment bankers support Bush because, “Wall Street runs on a good economy and the president has given us that.” Factor helped the president in 2002 by hosting a $10,000-a-plate fundraiser in his home to help the GOP regain U.S. Senate control. Pioneer Governor George Pataki appointed Factor to the New York State Banking Department board in 2001. Wife Elizabeth Factor is a tax attorney at investment bank Babcock & Brown.

7. They're anti-tax, but want to blow 100K on Delay.

Yeah, that makes sense. :eyes:

[LightningFlash]

8. So let me get this straight for once....

The conservative extremist media is now the "liberal" media, anyone who dares to be a Texas congressman will raise taxes all over the map so Tom DeLay needs to stay, and anyone who dare opposeth the insane, out of his complete mind Tom DeLay for Majority Leader is an anti-christian, conspiring evil communist who doesn't like god?

So we are now in upside down world? Is this what they are advertising? :crazy:

9. No shit, this guy's name is really Mally Factor?

Now THAT's funny!

12. DeLay is just repulsive

How much money does the right wing want to spend to save this crook?

[dissent1977]

13. I hope they spend a lot

I want Americans to recognize who Tom DeLay is, and these ads will certainly bring attention to him. When DeLay is so repulsive I don't think these ads will help him at all, and they could even turn the public further against him.

14. Ha - so much for winning "the war on terror" at any cost...

So much for sacrifice.

When the Dems were in charge during WWII, they asked everyone to sacrifice & give back to help the war effort. Food, gas, clothing were rationed; people turned in personal belongings to be used or recycled; bought war bonds.

With the repubs in charge, the closest thing to making a sacrifice is waiting an extra week for the tax refund to arrive by mail.

"What, donate some of my personal belongings to help the war effort? How much is the tax deduction for doing that?"

17. "liberal media and government"

I love it when they call our government "liberal", because I sure hope the American people are smart enough to recognize how ridiculous this sounds. Our Republican controlled White House, Congress, Senate and Judiciary are apparently too liberal for these people to handle. Damn those commies in the Bush Administration!
