FBI Raids Senator Ted Stevens Home

[RetiredGySgt]

Find me a quote of a democrat claiming that Gonzales and Bush are successfully preventing the enforcement of all laws against all Republicans....

and then you'll actually have a point.

Until then, you're just fabricating reality for your own convenience, but that's not surprising from a Bush apologist.



Guess what? it actually IS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE for a Republican Senator to break the law AND for the Attorney General to also break the law - isn't that AMAZING?

Do you understand the English language? Reread what you quoted and then read what Bully, Care4all, Truthmatters, maineman, and several other liberals on this board post and have said and continue to say.

I said evidence and prosecute. I have my opinion of Ted Stevens, no one bigger for earmarks and pork.

Exactly. His history of pork barrell spending rivals Byrd.

Luckily for him, I won't be seated on the jury.

Looks like I'm not the only Republican that would be excluded.

Alarm Bells in Alaska [Larry Kudlow]

Senator Ted Stevens—one of the chief architects of special interest earmark pork—had his Alaska home raided by federal agents yesterday.

Stevens—who’s held his Senate seat since LBJ was in office—recently gained notoriety for threatening to quit the Senate if it didn’t green light the infamous Alaskan “Bridge to Nowhere,” as well as placing a secret hold on a pork bill allowing greater accountability and oversight of federal spending. Now he may be in line for corruption charges.

This may rid us of Mr. Stevens, but it’s a very bad sign for Republicans.

Top White House political advisor Karl Rove told a bunch of us over lunch last week that corruption was the single biggest issue in last fall’s election that overturned the GOP congressional majority. I have always agreed with this assessment, based on exit polls that showed corruption and runaway budget spending were actually more important to voters than Iraq.

So this Stevens business has to be swept away. The GOP should not defend him if he is guilty. Just clean house.

By the way, another theme Mr. Rove highlighted was the importance of the economic populism/inequality/globalization issue. He said the GOP must face this head-on in 2008 and rebut it in terms of economic prosperity.

He figures the Dems will run on a three-legged stool: Iraq, healthcare, and economic populism. His solution is to have Republican candidates sharply contrast GOP plans with Democratic plans.

An apologist for either of the major parties has no moral ground to stand upon regarding corruption. The major parties have thrived on complete corruption for years, and the apologists for the major parties are enablers.

I agree. Then there are those of us that have a preference, but still hold reps responsible. Ala Ted Stevens, for earmarks and pork and what those indicate, which now the FBI is addressing, to GW and ports deal, Harriet Miers, illegal immigration laws, etc.

Some of us want better. I'm sure there are those critical of the left, I just haven't met them on the 4 boards I frequent.
