Ney-sayer uses DeLay Tactic

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Perhaps the ever-unraveling Jack Abramoff scandal will scare or disgust Congress so badly that elected leaders will clamor for complete openness and finally report all sources of campaign funding. The sordid story unfolds like a dirty napkin, as freewheeling lobbyists spread tainted Abramoff money around Washington DC thicker than bar-b-que sauce on a pork sandwich from a greasy-spoon diner.

Like hungry restaurant customers, Republicans at all levels of government never even bothered to consider if taking funds extracted using threats and other intimidation tactics was ethical or just. They just bellied up to the bar and put on feedbags under a “No Refunds” sign. According to CNN online, the most recent customer to leave feeding-trough in shame was Bob Ney, who gave up his prime chair position on the House Administration Committee on Sunday January 15, 2006 but did he return the cash or donate it to his favorite Republican Charity?

1. Lobbyists? They don't need no stinkin' lobbyists!

The GOP has a new improved method to accomplish their madness: "Diebold election insurance".

2. yes indeed

While Alabama has some of the most underfunded schools in the nation, we do have gleeming new diebold machines. Friends of mine, active in our party, who live in FL and CO claim they work very smoothly, while keeping polling areas neat with no messy paper trails.
