Focus on the Family does excellent work defending conservative values (and probably got Bush re-elected). I've also purchased several good books from Dobson. If anyone NOT on the "Ignore List" wants to discuss Dobson, or even the convicted Ney staffer avoiding jailing time, let me know.

The scheme helped move around millions (and perhaps billions) of dollars and political favors. On the other side he got abusive phone calls from Ney. About $2000 should balance the seesaw ?

All these criminals have a permanent "get out of jail free" card. $2,000, and 100 hours of community service. Hardly enough to even qualify as a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile, mere possession of <em>any</em> amount of marijuana merits a fine of $10,000 and a possible one year prison term, according to federal law. Justice is <i>truly</i> blind in this country.
