The ethics reform bill insults our intelligence!
Submitted by Anonymous on 8 August 2007 - 11:45am.
Ethics legislation will never be enough until we solely have public campaign financing where new candidates secure the necessary signatures to run for office, and then are made to adhere to the budget set by a task force appropriate for the level of office they run for. Incumbents, too, would have to adhere to the same budget. The candidate who uses the funding they receive most wisely will be the candidate worthy of being voted into office. They will have proven they know how best to get much done with less, and therefore shown an ability to bear fiscal responsibility!
The Republican leadership has been sharing the sheets with Russian organized crime since Putin first took control of the FSB (former KGB) in 1997, and has been committing official acts/acting as Russian organized crime operatives in exchange for the Russian Mafia campaign contributions laundered through US lobbyists and US companies doing business in Russia . The US congress for years had a pro-Russian Mob agenda and still does! The Dems aren't doing a whole lot better!
As a party to the various corruption probes...a victim for having enabled a company to decline a Russian organized crime finacing offer, and then as majority investor later turned down two buyout offers to benefit Russian organized crime, I know many details of what is coming-out in the Abramoff and Cunningham corruption probes and I only just gave one highlight! Someone like Ted Stevens is linked to Cunningham because of something I know that isn't public. Despite I am a native New Yorker I also know more of his activities that is unrelated to the Cunningham corruption probe such that he's been brokering sleazy real estate deals while abusing the power of his post for approximately three decades!
If the Dems think that this newest ethics bill passed will counteract what is to come-out that is so ugly regarding how organized crime hijacked Congress, they're delusional! What is coming-out is proof that no member of Congress can be trusted to not treat campaign contributions as bribes and that public campaign financing will be our only choice if we want to eradicate public corruption!

radical measures called for

There is no question that money has corrupted our political process and that radical measures are called for. The up-turned palms of elected officials need to be eliminated from the nation's policy making. One way would be to cut their hands off, as they did to thieves in olden days. But perhaps there are other effective ways. One thing is sure- the money factor has to be removed completely from electioneering and that means no more campaign contributions.

Submitted by Anonymous on 8 August 2007 - 11:04am.
While the Justice Department won't comment on whether it will investigate Boehner for this leak, it needs to be pointed-out that he already is apart of the Abramoff corruption probe. Boehner's remarks likely were targeted at a party of that probe that is a company with solely 2 executives. Members of Congress such as Boehner had the company's 2 person management team under surveillance since 2002 via their abuse of the earmarking process and having illicit earmarks awarded at intelligence agencies. The real reason for the illicit surveillance was because the management team turned down a 100+ % financing offer from a non-Democracy and as its government rep for more than 1 1/2 years tried to change management's mind, the non-democracy's rep stated members of Congress already had been bought-off. In fact, the non-democracy's rep knew so much of foul play that happened in the US to the company that hadn't been shared with the non-democracy by management, that it had become clear members of Congress had boasted to the non-democracy's representatives of the official acts they committed to sabotage the US company. That non-democracy is apart of the same Abramoff corruption probe Boehner is apart of!
Boehner was apart of the Republican leadership bought-off to have management labeled terrorists so every effort they made could be sabotaged via the illicit surveillance being shared with Congress. He is apart of the Republican leadership that had the company denied federal funding when every single other biometric technology had its RnD federally funded. Boehner and his coconspirators had the company denied a federal pilot despite the company was the forerunner based on merit in every identification credentialing program.
It is shocking that Boehner thinks he is invincible and just keeps thumbing-up his nose to US DOJ! At last check some of his cohorts in crime, linked, too, to Abramoff already had their homes raided: DeLay, Hayworth, Renzi and Doolittle. A failure to raid Boehner's home simply suggests US DOJ doesn't need to in order to prove his guilt! Most intelligence panel members have been smart enough to lay low knowing that earmarks from another member of their panel, Randall Cunningham, gave Brent Wilkes control of nearly all the government grants programs' evaluation process and that Wilkes was working for the aformentioned non-democracy to deny companies of interest to the non-democracy funding, but Boehner's attempts to have the 2 member management team falsely labelled terrorists again to benefit the non-democracy will result in his spending the rest of his life in jail! He added more charges including further proof he is a traitor and fabricated information to have patriots treated as terrorists!
If DOD intelligence agencies had issues with FISA's rulings then the odds are greatest they wouldn't have pointed out Boehner's statements were an illegal leak but instead given him leeway to workover the Democrats to change the FISA law. Boehner seemingly leaked for political reasons but I also know he leaked to perform a treasonous act to benefit a non-democracy that bought him off a long time ago! He blackballed 2 patriots years ago as terrorists, and he's back trying to have the fabricated label restored knowing full well his actions will amount to Hollywood doing a bad B movie on it!!!
The first of the important indictments likely to come to reveal what the 2 person company went through will be from the D.C. Grand Jury investigating Brent Wilkes and Dustin Foggo. What will Boehner do when the company's management points-out Boehner tried to takeover where Wilkes and Foggo left off by misleading the public on Neil Cavuto's show so soon before those indictments? Originally US DOJ thought it would bring the Wilkes-Foggo D.C. indictments last September. How much longer could it possibly be? Likely too soon for Boehner and his leak, where the two individuals aren't terrorists at all, but far greater patriots then he ever has been! Boehner...the highest ranking member of the House of Representatives is committing official acts for a non-democracy run by organized crime at its highest ranks!

That was classified information, wasn't it??
Ultimate in Hypocrisy. Gonzales can go after Prosecutor Tamm for revealing Classified Information, but he strangely seems oddly non-interested in Representative John Boehner revealing classified information all over the TV screens!!!
TIME TO THROW THE BOOK AT HIM!!!!!!
And that idiot Hoekstra, can vote to save his job in Congress by VOTING FOR THE IMPEACHMENT of Alberto Gonzales AND THEN DICK CHENEY!!!!!

Classified information

Of course, Bond and Hoekstra can't discuss classified information- it means prison if you do. Nor do they wish to be drawn into a discussion of Boehner’s fatuity. Boehner broke the law while seeking partisan political advantage and may not last much longer as minority leader. When a horse breaks its leg you have to shoot it, poor beast.
