One More Reason
the Republicans will regain the majority in the Senate."
Wednesday, August 7:
...Because Erskine Bowles (aka Poster Boy for Corporate Irresponsibility) can't seem to keep the oh-so-unflattering details of that pesky $4.2 mil job at Forstmann Little off his resume and out of the papers. (That's $4.2 mil a year...)
You may recall, the State of Connecticut lost over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS of its pension funds -- dollars that were unwisely (to be charitably delicate) invested by Forstmann Little during Poster Boy's tenure. The real losers? Connecticut retirees who had worked hard and played by the rules...
(Reckon some of them might move south JUST to thank Erskine in their own special way?)
The State of Connecticut has filed suit. But for some reason (a mystery!) Poster Boy is not named in the suit -- although all of the highly questionable investment decisions were made during his tenure.
Now, inquisitive minds want to know why...
Were political deals involved?
Bowles' spokesman ain't sayin'.

Because according an American Viewpoint poll, Cornyn leads Kirk 46% to 35% among all voters and 50 to 35% among high propensity voters.

How much do you want to bet that the Republicans will not win the Senate?

Very interesting about Cornyn and Kirk. That's quite a turnaround since the last I heard of this. What's been happening in my native country???
To: PhiKapMom
Seems like RATS are never named in suits even when they are the main culprit. Maybe hillary is getting all this money together so she can pay off the plaintiffs so they don't name her RAT colleagues or ex-colleagues.

Some of the facts about Kirks reign as mayor of Dallas are leaking out to the rest of the state. The mainstream media isn't doing it, some are saying things about that there @#**%#$ internet. The 2 biggest things are the interesting deals involveing the current police chief, a couple of ex-city council members and the operators of anumber of strip-clubs on Northwest Highway and where did all that money for the schools go.

Because Erskine Bowles (aka Poster Boy for Corporate Irresponsibility) can't seem to keep the oh-so-unflattering details of that pesky $4.2 mil job at Forstmann Little off his resume and out of the papers. (That's $4.2 mil a year...)I don't care if Bowles made 75 million a year. At least I know that he has promised to stab me for more taxes and bleed me dry. Unlike our 'compassionate' conservative candidate, Elizabeth 'Giddy' Dole, the pro-choice, anti-gun, pro-tariff, pro-nationalized healthcare conservative running against him. Well we haven't had the primaries yet, but the RNC has been advertising for her for the past 6 months. I won't vote for her but she'll win anyway. And I imagine her and Hitlery will hit it off are going to hit it off better than X42I and Viagra Bob

PHK, here's hoping the 'pubbies(RLC/RNC) take control, and once control is regained, will Nickles take over for the spineless one?

As Ann Coulter mentioned last night on Booknotes.......now we have the internet.....and talk radio!
Thank you JR for making that true!

Not being from CT, I don't know these people - but I'm assuming you're talking about local politics, as opposed to federal. Federal CT Senators are Christopher Dodd (D) and Joseph Lieberman (D), neither of whom are up for re-election this November. Additional clarity for non-CTers would be appreciated.

But the Demoncrats are clean as a whistle on all this corporate corruption, don'tcha know. That's obvious because nobody ever got into trouble for cooking the books or looting the corporate assets when the Demoncrats were in charge. These crimes are only punished when Republicans are in the White House. Therefore the crimes only occur when Republicans are in the White House.
Seems obvious to me.
