A lot more information here.

This thread is the 5th or 6th so far on Silky Pony.

I’m sure more “Breaking News” threads will be arriving shortly as FReepers are rushing to get this into the Breaking News sidebar also.

now that all is said and done, I would STILL rather have had this doofus instead of Obama

I think he is just a stupid liberal of the Kennedy type (JFK, not Tedddy the swimmer)

and could have reached across the aisle a bit our way

I could be wrong, please dont call me bad names if you disagree- I will cry

Being despicable is not a crime.

The campaign finance law is so vague the jury could not make sense of it or find what specific part of the law was broken.
They should save the taxpayers money and not retry this one.
Instead they nerd to fix campaign finance laws by making all contributions illegal.

I agree. Wasn’t his alleged crime using campaign funds to hush up slutty stuff? I am not comfortable with the Gov telling people what to do with campaign money. I wasn’t happy that Cain quit for whatever reason, and my $100 down the drain, but I believe: LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

Which is it? Two other threads said it was guilty on one count and either hung jury or jury sent back on the other five.

“First, kill all the lawyers”.

I think that was William Shakespeare.

Drudge line said “mistrial”, and I say so that’s the way he’s going to get out of this, i.e., declare mistrial and decide it’s too costly and not worth the effort to retry. The system’s corrupted or ‘rats lead charmed lives.

More like a Jimmy Carter with good hair. Doctrinaire liberal with a severe competence deficiency.

Probably a heavy does of well-disguised Marxism, too. Y'know who was Edwards campaign manager in 2004?

David Axelrod.

Nah it has to be MSNBC. MSNBC has Al Sharpton who has blood on his fans from the Tawny Brawley fake rape case and inciting antisemitism against a Jewish owned store in Harlem and Steve Rattner who paid a fine, one of those not admitting guilt pleas, for bribery.

It pays to have friends in high places. Even if they’re corrupt also.
