no friend, I don't agree with you. Ten years ago when Republicans were in power they developed certain standards. Those standards were that every single member of a Board of Directors for any S&L that went bankrupt had to be sued by the federal government. The government paid lawyers $150/hour to find people to sue in an open-ended fashion. The more lawsuits they could bring the more the lawyers would get paid. This is what George Bush did to our country. As I said one man in Florida was in the hospital in a coma, he came out of the coma and found he was being sued for something he allegedly did while he was in the coma. Twenty thousand americans were sued in this scheme by the Republicans.

Now a prominent Republican's wife has been caught in the same circumstance. She sat on the board of a company that folded after allegedly irresponsible things were done. Fairness dictates that the Republicans apply the same standards that they've applied in the past. The idiot George Bush senior applied these ridiculous standards so that his rich liberal friends would like him. It was very unjust, but what does justice matter? That is not the standard we use as a society in these types of situations. Wendy Gramm should be publicly insulted, humiliated and prosecuted. Phil Gramm should be forced to sacrifice his assets on a legal defense. It doesn't matter if she's guilty or not.

I think that any wrong doing should be prosecuted. But just because President Bush did something 10 years ago, that does not mean that his son has to follow. The difference between the S&L's and Enron is that the public bailed out the S&L's but they did not bail out Enron. We(as a people) are not worse off because of this collapse and there will be no billion dollar bail out of Enron. I feel for the people that lost their savings but they should have known to diversify their 401k and they will get some recourse through lawsuit. But the government should not go balls to the wall and start sueing people.

Wendy Gramm should be publicly insulted, humiliated and prosecuted...It doesn't matter if she's guilty or not.

Sounds like your rage is a tad ad hominum. I don't know your situation or your background, but most people (well, short of your standard Democrat) wouldn't make statements like this unless there was something very personal behind it.

Proclaiming guilt based on who you are as opposed to what you've done is the classic leftist tactic used so prominently in class warfare (see most of Daschle's comments in the past two weeks for reference).

Whatever happened to you in the past, I'm sorry about it, but punishment without guilt is not a place I'm going to go to. There was plenty of that in the U.S.S.R. and the Third Reich to fill my belly for a good long time.

This is patent nonsense.
