OBEY: I think Jack Abramoff is an example. I mean, I think heâ€™s an outrageous example of the system gone run-amok. I think heâ€™s going to be setting new examples of outrageousness. But the problem is you have a culture of â€œanything goes,â€ which has been pedaled by the Republican House leadership, an attitude that rules are something to be gotten around, and I think Abramoff is an example of what results when you have that kind
of thinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for your Honesty(?) in your statement(s).
(Perhaps some Anti-Skid coating on that desktop)

“I think Jack Abramhoff is an Example”

“I think heâ€™s going to be setting new examples of outrageousness”

“But the problem is you have a culture of â€œanything goes,â€ which has been pedaled by the Republican House leadership, an attitude that rules are something to be gotten around, and I think Abramoff is an example of what results when you have that kind of thinking”

I read the congressional comments and the whole thing looks like a whitewash to me. We have the best congress that money can buy. As Edward Abbey said: “The only difference between a congressman and a whore is that the congressman makes more money.” The obligation is on them is to prove otherwise, to prove that the vast corporate funds they receive is not influencing legislation. Until then I’m from Missouri.

kindness, #22: “I donâ€™t agree with wwallaces link to a dumbass lying & defamatory web site.”

You forgot to post any evidence to back up your assertion. I didn’t see any lies or any defamation on that site.

Comments #20 and #21 by ‘progressive and proud’ contain nothing but ad hominem. A clear violation of the site Terms of Use.

re: KillCon2006 “Let â€œconservatismâ€ hang itself…”

I’d like to think that, but lately I’m thinking right-wing power is so embedded that it’s like a cancer that becomes so pervasive throughout the body that there’s no turning back. They already have the executive and legislative branches, they’re soon to have the judicial and they’ve castrated the press (or have launched their own). Some would say they’ve co-opted the electoral process. Who’s left to hold them accountable?

I think we are seeing lower numbers of Right Wing responses here lately because they are all on thier month long vacation now.

I predict the Right wingers are going to say that this is a stunt, concocted by the Dems.

My agenda is very simple. Let “conservatism” hang itself and crush itself under the weight of its own corrupt agenda and bury it while hoping that the moderates like Eisenhower or even the principled Goldwater conservatives take back control of the GOP.

Yes, but they keep making the point for us. They have no principles or scruples and their agenda sucks. An agenda is not always a positive thing. Sometimes no agenda is a good thing. They are blind to that.

That is a typical republican tactic. When they know they are caught – it’s everybody doing it. Nice try, wwallace. And in typical fashion.

I think the low response to this thread speaks volumes about how people feel about Congress. Believe it when I see it…
