    And where is the front page story about this scandal? It will be burried on the back page of the Washington Post and never spoken of again, unless we write our local papers and force the issue! Write your local press and demand that they cover this story. IT IS BIG!

    Oh, just a little Enron accounting.


  3. Krazny says:

    This whole thing is too complicated to report on. Taking a bribe, or having large amounts of cash in a freezer is one thing, but a shcheme involving two seperate election campaigns, and a million dollar loan won’t play much to public. Too much to have to wrap your mind around.


  4. Zookeeper says:

    Wow, that seems pretty blatant. Maybe laws just don’t apply to cat killers.


  5. For Truth says:

    I’m afraid this will only get play here and other sites of the like. Krazny is right.


  6. Clyde the Ripper says:

    Hey Guys this is a set-up. With Frist soon to be up on insider trading charges what better defense could he have? “It couldn’t have been true because the FEC just said I was a lousy stockmarket investor.”

    Why a fine of only $11,000? Put the crroked, lying SOB in Leavenworth next to Queen George the Dumb and the other rat bastards.

    Click on Clyde.

    The abuses of this government are FAR FAR deeper than we have suspected….even those of us that have suspected a hell of a lot for a long time. America truly has been kidnapped by a bunch of criminals….and that ain’t just being cute. It is the truth. Are people waking up yet?

    And who is surprised at this? Not me. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely… or something like that. The odd part of this and the other corruption scandels is that most of these folks are already millionaires and could spend their own money – but they don’t.

    As for Frist, he is such a smooth talkin’ snake, it’s really amazing.

    Apparently, when O’Reilly sees people recoiling in horror at what is happening to their country and its Constitution, he thinks they are rejoicing.

    I’m going to play close attention to my local morning news tomorrow (WGN) They have been reporting every negative republican piece they can get their hands on lately.

    WGN is owned by the Tribune company that also owns the Chicago Tribune. The Trib endorsed Bubble boy for prez but has been showing signs of remorse for that idiotic decision.

    My bet is that Robin Baumgarten will report the Frist crime with a sneer.

    I agree about the setupClyde, Frist probably lost a million first so when he committed insider trading he’d have a defense. How much did he earn by cheating though? If it was more than what he lost he’s still ahead of the game.


  12. Po'd vet says:

    They committed criminal acts which coupled with their policies enacted under their fraudulant elections directly resulted in the deaths of US servicxemen. That my friends is TREASON! Point this out in every paper across the world…Hell call in for UN aid in ousting a usurper and let us run a legal election….see how many republicans actually win then…


  13. big papa says:

    Poor Bill

    …hounded and hunted at every turn…

    …I’ll bet he was actually FOR forgiving the loan…

    BEFORE he was AGAINST forgiving it…

    Hell, he’d make a FINE preznit!
