This was a conviction of Tom Delay, not the President, no matter how much people will try and push and pull this as a conviction of the President also.

Which leads to loss of faith in the courts when you see this: Judge rules sex offender is too s…

Maybe it was the money they swindled from CA.

……is that not the truth!!! The Enron Giants found GUILTY!!! Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling get what they deserve. [ Full Story ]

I agree the charge is somewhat reckless. But, but, Enron gave large campaign contributions to both sides of the aisle. Large campaign contributions typically equate to access and political favors. It would be really hard to pin down what favors were done by who and for who. There is always so much rumor inuendo and fingerpointing, you really never know who to believe.

Alot of time the biggest fingerpointers are the ones where the fault rests, and they are trying to deflect the blame elsewhere. My political affiliation is actually independent, but I rarely have anything good to say about the democratic party.

As to politicians having a part in helping them stay in business longer… I’d say that there is no evidence for that and would be a reckless charge with no specifics of which politician did so and how.

The 2 at the top are obviously corrupt, but anyone that believes these are the only 2 guilty parties at this company is a total idiot. I am sure there are hundreds of employess just as guilty.

I wrote numerous times back then on other blogs that the justice system has to do it’s job and that Enron campaign contributions went to Democrats and Republicans and it has no bearing on whether or not someone who committed a felony would be held accountable.

It is what made conservatives bring up Terry McAuliffe and Global Crossings at the time. Hypocrasy is not a way to lead. It’s only a way to attack and make false allegations and the Democrats need to reflect on why it is they feel the need to treat conservatives as “evil”.

Rank and file liberals may be “well-intentioned” and want utopia as I did when I was a liberal but all I ask liberals on a daily basis is to look at the results of what your solutoins would bring. The results would be the opposite of your desired goal. That is why it is important to learn the lesson that it is better to teach a man to fish than give him fish. Then the liberal will move to non-able-bodied people as if that is what we are talking about. A safety net for non-able-bodied people is DILUTED by lazy and able-bodied people staying dependant on the government. The average program administered by the government only gives less than 50 cents to the dollar (taken from the taxpayer) in benefits.
