Every now and then, the stench builds up and the leach field becomes saturated to such a disgusting point, that the tank needs pumped-out and the leach field treated to reduce the stink.  Like any septic tank, it needs cleaned-out periodically or the smell becomes overwhelming.  That is the nature of politics and raw sewage.  While Capitol Hill is a nice place from afar, you have to be careful of getting too close.  Like any leach field, you might step in something and ruin your shoes.

Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them--and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,--push it a little-- crowd it a little--weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand.
--Mark Twain

It is my belief the system is too corrupted to save through the democratic process as we have come to understand it.. Does anyone know of an honest general with a good supply of courage some hemp rope and a white horse. It would be interesting to see the patriot act used on those who thought it up.

The Iran/Contra Debacle happened during the Presidency that is most hailed by historians and the common people. Seldom do you find anyone to openly criticize the Reagan Administration. You will not find many that say that the Reagan Administration did not have a "respect for the Constitution, Law, Democracy, Freedom, Morals or Values."

But your side doesn't know how to accessorize better.

BTW I never said Nader wasen't a wimp, he a nice wimp.

It's going to take some sterner stuff to sort out the crooks runing washington.

Good, maybe the next generation will have some econ majors.
I don't find him particularly nice. No family, pets, warmth, personality. Just a tacky suit with a couple  taglines and a history of griping a lot.
I will admit that it was interesting to see Nader get screwed by the Dems more than Reps. I have little doubt were he to wake up emperor a lot of Dems would be dead before nightfall. Then Jews and Republicans.

My guess is that given power he would be QUITE stern. Just a look at his reaction to being pied (probably by Dems) revealed a VERY angry and hateful man.
[right][snapback]139275[/snapback][/right]

I see so first your mother can whip Nader now he's some sort of anti-Semitic avenging angle who is capable of mayhem and murder. Maybe you just hate him because he is an Arab American native son. Try not to be so effing obvious…

Nader loves Democracy, this country and has spent his life trying to improve the country…what have you done for America lately besides smear some of it’s finest?

I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.(which would be a ways)

Well, that's the most important thing.

(Does anyone think Perkins will DISMISS the charges???)


[right][snapback]139308[/snapback][/right]

Actually, after you get some fantastic pictures and ruin his reputation the charges may not mean much. DeLay might as well fight it all the way because republicans will be looking for spoils just like the democrats are. He's not likely to get back his position, why not declare war.

DeLay Offered Deal Before Indictment[/font

[font=Impact]"He turned you down flat so you had him indicted, in spite of advice from others in your office that Tom DeLay had not committed any crime," the lawyer contended. "In short, neither lack of evidence nor lack of law has deterred you."  

It's Politics!

Well, we do have equality in the eyes of the law in America . . .

I can just see it, now, attack ads against prosecutors paid for by 'Friends of So and So" whenever a white-collar criminal is indicted. Plenty of 'Friends of White-Collar Criminals" around, with deep pockets.

Why, it's their freedom of speech that is at stake . . .

"The other guys do it too" isn't much  of a defense when the speakers ran against the "others" corruption to begin with.

Not to mention the fact that the "they did it too" defense is itself an admission of guilt.
[right][snapback]138568[/snapback][/right]

Yeah, tell me about it. I heard Cleland had a commie negro baby on welfare who was a lesbian terrorist sympathiser.

DeLay ISN"T saying "they did it too". Now is he?
[right][snapback]139326[/snapback][/right]

It's rare when a criminal defendent has the raw power to go after the prosecutor directly.

The usual approach even for rich folk, is to try the case in court.

AUSTIN - Travis County prosecutors admitted Friday they lack physical proof of a list of Republican candidates that is at the heart of money-laundering indictments against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay and two of his associates.

The list is key to prosecutors being able to prove that corporate money that could not be legally spent on Texas candidates was specifically exchanged at the national level for donations that legally could be spent on Republican candidates for the Texas House.

Indictments against DeLay, Jim Ellis and John Colyandro state that Ellis gave "a document that contained the names of several candidates for the Texas House" to a Republican National Committee official in 2002 in a scheme to swap $190,000 in restricted corporate money for the same amount of money from individuals that could be legally used by Texas candidates.

But prosecutors said Friday in court that they only had a "similar" list and not the one allegedly received by then-RNC Deputy Director Terry Nelson. Late in the day, they released a list of 17 Republican candidates, but only seven are alleged to have received money in the scheme.

<Prediction>
Davey doo is going to be whining very soon.
[right][snapback]139331[/snapback][/right]

Nelson's testimony is key
Without the exact list, the prosecutors' case against DeLay, Ellis and Colyandro likely turns on Nelson's testimony. Nelson testified at least twice to grand juries hearing the case.

"That would be something Mr. Nelson could testify to, and the jury could weigh the testimony and decide whether to accept it or whether he's confused about what list he saw three or four years ago in the midst of a heated election cycle," Pauerstein said.

Lawyers for Ellis and Colyandro demanded a copy of the list from Travis County prosecutors during the court hearing Friday. But Assistant District Attorney Rick Reed told state District Judge Bob Perkins that the list prosecutors wanted to provide the defense was not the one mentioned in the indictment.

Your point is that it's an admission of guilt. My point is that DeLay has made no such "admission".
[right][snapback]139332[/snapback][/right]

DeLay ISN"T saying "they did it too". Now is he?
[right][snapback]139326[/snapback][/right]

Uh, yes, he did, on one of the interview shows.  Paraphrasing, "29 other states have laws similar to Texas', and both parties routinely use such means to redirect donations."

Provide link. I didn't see it.

If it isn't illegal and both sides do it, how can you be "guilty"?
[right][snapback]139341[/snapback][/right]

D'ya think she's editorializing or outright fabricating that paraphrase?
[right][snapback]139342[/snapback][/right]

Whether or not "it's legal" will be determined by a jury.
[right][snapback]139344[/snapback][/right]

How can I say? I haven't seen the clip.
[right][snapback]139347[/snapback][/right]

That's true. Juries are generally instructed not to bother themselves with the "is it legal" or "should it be illegal" by the judge. Illegally, in my opinion, I would add.
[right][snapback]139351[/snapback][/right]

This is one of those 'moral tests'. Do you think FJ would go as far as to fabricate a paraphrase just to score a couple of points? That's my question.
[right][snapback]139352[/snapback][/right]

Illegally? How so? Are juries the second branch of the legislature, now?
