Sounds quite a bit like enron. Praytell, why no fireworks? Maybe the leftwing connection is just too real.

Right or Left; Liberal or Conservative; big money corruption is equal opportunity. Crooks are crooks regardless of political affiliation. Few in Washington have clean hands. Our system has been totally compromised and most of our elected officials would sell out the best interests of the public and the country for a mere $100,000 contribution. Term limits is the only answer to the organized crime family that has taken over our government.

No. Youre missing something critical, I think: When it can be tied to the President, it's a scandal. When it can be tied to anyone on the left, it's a non event. The crooks you refer to have the full cooperation of the watchdogs in the media and, perhaps, elsewhere.

Yeah, I suppose that I've given that impression, but I am well aware of the media bias and how the RATS are throwing mud at GW just to see what sticks. Funny (or sad) thing is that Bush is more honest and his more integrity than the whole bunch who have loaded their pockets with dirty money from special interests. Notice I say special interests cause that what it used to be called. Not used in the media today cause it includes too many left wing groups such as unions, greenies, race baiters, lawyers etc.

Let it sink in. The left never plays fair.

Pacific Capital Group is a 10%owner of Global Crossing. Pacific Capital Groups head is Gary Winnick. Pacific Cap sold stock back in May 2001 with proceeds of $156,834,997. For a nice article on Winnick, Clinton & former sec of state maddy go to motherjones.com and do a search for "winnick".
