"you're right--but 73% of the contributions went to Repubs... that's what you'll be hearing..plus the corporate jets, the meetings with Cheney, the stocks owned by the inner circle... no one should be surprised--it's the way of the world in both parties...frankly if fraud caused hardowrking Americans to lose it all--they should go to jail..."

People who commit fraud should be punished. We both agree. Now, can you tell me the types of fraud that the politicians who received contributions may have committed?

I would say fraud by Enron executives, improprieties by politicians...it's the old guilt by association game. now, whether right or wrong, it's real. For example--big name politician on banking and finance committee. Wife of said big name politician is on Enron board. Enron gives said guy boatloads of cash. Said big guy makes ruling which gives Enron free reign and deregulation in a new market. New entity then implodes in everyone's faces, helping to break the nest eggs of 1,000's of hardworking Americans. IT HAPPENED. Fraud? Not really. Improper? You bet. This is the path this stuff is going to take-like it or not. Once again, it's how they respond to the heat that will be telling. After the last 8 years, one would hope it would be up front and honest--but I'm thinking that docs are being shred everywhere...be ready.
