1. I heard that

That was cool.

[cry baby]

3. I am going to use it as a base of a LTTE.

And I'm going to send it to our fair and balanced corporate media.

4. Way to go, Catrina!

Excellent post!

You absolutely PEGGED the Republican crooks!

[cry baby]

5. It really does deserve it's own thread, doesn't it?

I thought it was brilliant!

6. I second that motion.

What we're talking about:

Well, if you have actual names of Dems

who have been indicted, charged or who have already entered guilty pleas, I'll add them to my list happily. Or if you have even names of Dems who are 'officially' under investigation, I'll add them to that list also.

But so far, all I have seen is the media's spin that 'both dems and repubs' are involved.

Here are some actual facts:

Republican WH official Safavian, arrested and charged in the Abramoff investigation.
Republican Adam Kidan, entered a guilty plea in the Abramoff investigation.
Republican Scanlon, entered a guilty plea in the Abramoff scandal.
Republican Lobbyist, Abramoff, entered a guilty plea in the scandal surrounding his lobbying activities.

Officially named as under investigation:

Republican Rep. Bob Ney, informed that he under investigation for accepting bribes.
Republican Rep. Tom Delay, informed that he too may be under investigation in the case.


Others being 'looked at' as a result of evidence of their association with Abramoff's crimes:

Republican Grover Norquist
Republican Ralph Reed
Republican Sen. Cornyn
Republican Rep. Burns
Republican Rep. Doolittle

Already convicted, through guilty plea in another crime:

Republican Duke Cunningham is also now suspected of having ties to Abramoff's crimes.


Republicans either convicted or under indictment in other crimes, not yet associated with Abramoff, although who knows?

Three Republican Governors, including Gov. Ryan whose administration has generated at least 30 indictments. At least one of these three is currently serving time.

Republican Gov. Taft of Ohio was indicted, paid a fine and is still in office.
Republican operative, Noe of Ohio, also under indictment for various crimes.

And in the Valerie Plame affair, so far:

Republican WH official, Scooter Libby, five indictments, including 'obstruction of justice.


Then there is the Pentagon Spy case:

Republican Larry Franklin, entered a guilty plea to passing along sensitive info to others.
Republican Pentagon employee, Weissman, charged with passing sensitive info to a foreign nation.
Republican Pentagon employee, Rubin, charged with passing sensitive info to a foreign nation.

Presumably as a result of Larry Franklin's 'cooperation',

Republican Douglas Feith, member of the Bush administration, is now also under investigation.

And in the Conrad Black case (Canada's Rupert Murdoch, recently indicted on several counts by the office of Special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald)

Republican Richard Perle is also under investigation by the same office.


......

That's just from memory, I know there are more. But from memory, I can't think of a Democrat who has been either charged or convicted in any of these crimes.

If there is one, as I said, he/she should be added to the list of criminals who are running this government. I have no problem with that.

I do have a problem with the media clearly spinning this latest crime to evenly divided between both parties. That simply is a LIE!

And we haven't even started on the Abramoff affairs yet, or on the War Lies investigation, or the Domestic Spying case. How on earth can the media declare that there is any comparison between these parties, as they exist today, when it comes to criminal activity and abuse of power?

Great point, cry baby!

That deserves it's own front-page.
