at W; I think the Bush camp made it clear that they would create an
environment very friendly to the needs of their peers. No one else at
the time had quite the credentials to pull that off - McCain was the
only competition, but Carl Rove took care of that ...

Don't forget, in order for this conspiracy to work, they had to rig the
other side of the ticket too! Too close to call, you know! Why, what
would happen to our world ruling organization if the leader of the most
powerful nation in the world is against us?!!

I wonder how they got to Obama...

You keep creating this "straw man argument" of a conspiracy so you can
shoot it down. Its just the opposite: Bush offered himself to the
business world as the man who would relax all restrictions and allow
them to write their own "regulations." No conspiracy, just the way the
game is played.

As for picking the Democratic candidate, they didn't have to pick, they
had a plan for either.
