"Don't even *think* of Wellstoning-Carnahaning Senator Edwards."
Enron Documents Show Delay's Redistricting Efforts --The Washington Post --In May 2001, Enron's top lobbyists in Washington advised the company chairman that then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Criminal-Texas, was pressing for a $100,000 contribution to his political action committee, in addition to the $250,000 the company had already pledged to the Republican party that year. DeLay requested that the new donation come from "a combination of corporate and personal money from Enron's executives,'' with the understanding that it would be partly spent on "the redistricting effort in Texas,'' said the e-mail to Ken Lay from lobbyists Rick Shapiro and Linda Robertson. (You can be sure that Dictator Bush will be launching his 'Weapons of Mass Distraction' shortly. Warning to the Reichwing terrorists running the show: Don't even *think* of Wellstoning-Carnahaning Senator Edwards.)

1. Is that the same thing
as "clintoning" Vince Foster and Ron Brown?

I think crazy murder conspiracies are stupid, regardless of the party affiliation of the people pushing them.

6. *All* aspects of Clinton were investigated, to the tune of $70 million.
*How* much money/time was spent looking into the possibility of foul play in both of the plane crashes that just-so-happened to kill key democrats at critical times? Zippo.

2. as if Bush were some master of distraction...
It's the media that have access to the president that don't ask the real questions! Bush is just a frat boy who's been appointed to watch the beer keg for the night.

3. *sigh* they're not going to kill Edwards
but they will try to steal the election. The fix will be primarily in Ohio and PA IMHO but there will be other areas as well depending on how well Edwards helps with the South. The reason the South is so solidly Republican is more than just conservative values; elections are very easy to rig there.

Murder conspiracies are bunk, although I wouldn't be surprised if Bush himself is killed off after the election so Cheney can have full control.

5. "Murder conspiracies are bunk"
May I direct your attention to - hmmm, so many to choose from - let's say the Complete Transcript of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Assassination Conspiracy Trial? http://thekingcenter.com/news/trial.html

Remember that? Maybe not. The American media seemed to make the judgement disappear within 24 hours.

Do you recall the decision?

THE COURT: All right, ladies and gentlemen. I understand you reached a verdict. Is that correct?

THE JURY: Yes (In unison).

THE COURT: May I have that verdict.... Let me ask you, do all of you agree with this verdict?

THE JURY: Yes (In unison).

THE COURT: In answer to the question did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to do harm to Dr. Martin Luther King, your answer is yes. Do you also find that others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged by the defendant? Your answer to that one is also yes. And the total amount of damages you find for the plaintiffs entitled to is one hundred dollars. Is that your verdict?

THE JURY: Yes (In unison).

But wait - "murder conspiracies are bunk."
