A Republican website, www.continue.to/enron launched by Stopdemocrats.com over the weekend has been an overnight success. The website has received praises via an email from a local CBS reporter in Texas, it has been featured on several websites such as BushCountry.org and FrontPageMag.com, and it has received more than 5,000 hits in 72 hours. The website got some changes today that include a link to the source where the fact is found and an additional 15 facts that are included in "50 reasons why the Democrats are hypocrites when it comes to Enron"
Here is a partial list of 10 facts (#40-50) from www.continue.to/enron
40. -According to an Enron memo, Lay met with former Clinton Energy Secretary Federico Peña to urge White House action on electricity legislation favored by Enron. Peña "suggested that President Clinton might be motivated [to act] by some key contacts from important constituents,"

41. -Ken Lay was one of 25 business executives on Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development.

42. -Enron's political action committee gave $10,000 in 2000 to the New Democrat Network, which was co-founded by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.). Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee that year, now chairs the Senate Government Affairs Committee, which is leading an inquiry into Enron's collapse.

43. -Several senior Enron officials spent election night at Vice President Gore's headquarters in Nashville.

44. -Enron backed Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) in his successful 1998 campaign to oust Republican Sen. Alfonse D'Amato. Schumer's views on electricity deregulation dovetailed closely with Enron's.

45. -Two years later Schumer, who has advocated deregulation as a way of reducing New York state's high power costs, co-authored a bill to restructure electricity markets along lines favored by Enron.

46. -Enron also has supported Senate Energy Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), whose state is traversed by a major east-west Enron gas pipeline.

47. -Former employees say Lay's friendships with other Democrats were based as much on rapport as pragmatism. This group includes former senator Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), whose brief 1992 presidential bid had Lay's backing, and Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), with whom Lay served on the Eli Lilly Co. board of directors in the 1990s.

48. -In 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, stocked with Clinton appointees, helped Enron with a series of orders that weakened the monopoly of nuclear and coal-burning utilities. In July of that year, Enron gave $100,000 to the Democratic Party.

49. -In 1992, a Democratic-controlled Congress approved a major energy bill that set the stage for a new wholesale electricity marketplace. Trading companies such as Enron could use the transmission lines of regulated utility companies to sell blocs of electricity to private customers.

50. -Some officials in Enron's Houston and Washington offices backed Gore and Lieberman in the 2000 election.

Get control of yourself, AD - we need you for the next freep. Though it is a beautiful thing, eh? Or maybe as Martha Stewart would say...."it's a good thing."

Luckily, you are only dealing with the 50 reasons that rats are hypocrites when it comes to Enron. To list all the other reasons they are hypocrites in all other issues, you'd need some major server space...

[Brad’s Gramma]

GREAT thread!

[Humidston]

Excellent resource. Bookmarked. Thank you for linking and posting. This is exciting.

Soemthing tells me the democrats cannot get by with simply bringing out their sour old election playbook of tricks and hope to win by snookering voters. It's a brand new brave and wild frontier in cyberspace for conservatives and/or truthseekers which offers a fresh veritable feast of extremely timely data and information to swack down democrat lies and other distortions.

You just got another hit from me. Great website! Let's see the major media try to spin this all on Bush; your website quotes the same major media, which likes to conveniently "forget" what they wrote about a few months ago. Hahaha! It's just too perfect and you (or whoever started this website) is to be commended. You are a patriot!
