makes money off stocks of companies that I don't think too kindly of. If Haliburton is a profitable investment, why wouldn't George Soros buy stock in it? Should all the profits go instead to people of one political slant so they can continue to increase their lobbying power?

One byproduct of buying stock in a company (especially the amount Soros can) is that it gives you some power into how that company does business. Soros is a smart enough businessman to know that Haliburton's not going away any time soon. They'll certainly lose some clout if the Republicans lose the White House in 2008 but until then they'll be highly profitable as tied as they are to the Iraq conflict.

Your "revelation" is not news. It's simply another boneheaded talking point.
