1/6 "The time has come that the American people know exactly what
their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they
feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations,
getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they
working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the
American people, have a right to know." - Tom DeLay Nov 16, 1995
\_ Well, now we know.

Plug in Abramoff. The next few months are going to be fun
to watch.
\_ We've always known. Both parties have been sucking away at every
opportunity for decades. There is no news here.
\_ # of donations from Abramoff to Dems: 0
\_ 1) That's not what the radio reporter said, 2) there hasn't
been an investigation or final ruling, 3) if this was purely
a (R) problem, I'd expect the (D)'s to be jumping all over
it which they're not, 4) Abramoff isn't exactly the first
instance of payoffs and corruption in DC and I find it
intellectually dishonest that you would bring up a current
event which isn't fully fleshed out or known and compare it
to a blanket statement about previous decades as if this
was the only event of corruption ever seen. Try again. You
are a total idiot if you think (R) = evil and (D) = good.
They're all just people and people are what they are no
matter what little letter gets printed next to their name
on CNN.
\_ Neither party is really evil or good, but I think Bill
Frist for instance is quite simply an evil man. I think
there are several people in Congress who do not believe
in freedom, and whose entire ideology comes from the desire
for power, particuarly theocratic power. They're all
republicans.
\_ So there are no evil (D)'s huh? Okey dokey!
\_ Name one who is as evil as Frist.
\_ Pretty much the entire Kennedy family but the
current senior Senator from MA in particular
has a special story.
\_ In a word, bullshit. I don't think any
Kennedy is a threat to the U.S. the way
Frist is. If that guy becomes president,
I expect to see prison camps for political
dissenters, elimination of the non-executive
branches of government and bibical law within
the first couple years, followed by however
many years of dictatorship it takes for
revolution, coup or war to bring it all down.
We've already had a Kennedy in the whitehouse,
and this is just not a threat from them.
Just because you dislike them personally
doesn't make them evil.
\_ You are confusing your opinion with the
historical fact. You can expect the
moon to be made of cheese. It does not
make it so. The last Kennedy in the WH
brought us to the very edge of nuclear
war in a way no one else has. Thanks.
\_ The Democrats are jumping all over this. You are not
paying too much attention to the news.
\_ KOS isn't a news source. |
