Trent 0 #3 June 6, 2006 QuoteAnd the biggest recipients were Tom Delay and his little office helpers. Yeah, 500,000 is HUGE when compared to 50 Million! Wow, I wonder where the pittance of the other 49.5 Million went? Oh well, not important... we can just bash on Delay and whatever other Republicans we don't like. At least you can justify when "your boys" come up dirty by saying "Delay did it too!" That should make you feel better.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell why not.. you guys seem to be constantly invoking the name of Clinton for anything you get caught at ..over and over and over and over ad nauseum All the right can do is.. Clinton Lied... CLinton Lied... Hmm but when he lied no one died... too bad our Imperious Leader can't say the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"but but... YOU did it first!!" Right? I thought the left was supposed to be better than their enemies?? Oh well, at least some of us can see that the turd's different, but the stink is the same. QuoteAll the right can do is.. Clinton Lied... CLinton Lied... Hmm but when he lied no one died... too bad our Imperious Leader can't say the same. You sound like a bumper sticker or a protest sign. Your arguments would be better if you didn't. All stuff like that will do is get you the same in return most of the time.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent 0 #7 June 7, 2006 QuoteDelay did it more than anyone else. The biggest crook in a bunch of crooks. I thought that dude in CA was the biggest... the one in jail now. Or how about we see how much bribe money that moron from Louisiana has hidden in his wife's panty drawer too. I seriously doubt that $500,000 is the biggest payoff any of these scumbags have taken. But like I said, if it feels good to blame just one party...Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trent 0 #10 June 7, 2006 Just don't be surprised when someone one-ups that figure. I mean the ONE congressman had a 5th of that by himself in bribe money in a freezer. Expecting more from others isn't all that hard to fathom. Delay isn't the problem... they're ALL part of it.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darius11 12 #11 June 7, 2006 I think what she is saying is. Clinton lied about something that was personal. It didn’t effect me or you or some poor bastard sitting in his house in Iraq. It also didn't cost billions of dollars, and most importent it didn't end up costing 30000 + lives So using an excuse like “look at what Clinton did” is a really lame one. So either find a new excuse or except the truth.

Take your time, gotta get the foot out first. But it IS funny when those that tell us we should be better than our opponents turn right around and resort to "but but, yours is worse" or "yours did it first!"Oh, hello again!

Trent 0 #14 June 7, 2006 hahahaha... that actually is a good one. Since I don't have a joke about Kennedy(s) or Jefferson handy... can you just assume I made a good one about them not giving up their posts in light of their "problems"?Oh, hello again!

Trent 0 #15 June 9, 2006 QuoteI won't be at all surprised. After all, Delay is leaving and a new champion will emerge. Just to follow up, since Delay is being portrayed as the "worst"... From http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060609/ap_on_go_co/raid_on_congress "Vernon Jackson, 53, chief executive of iGate Inc., a Louisville-based telecommunications company, pleaded guilty May 3 to paying more than $400,000 in bribes to [Congressman] Jefferson." So it appears there are not only NEW champions that will emerge, but there were concurrent champions as well! And the Congressional Black Caucus is all up in arms because [they're asking/demanding] Jefferson step down from his leadership roles?? At least Delay had the decency to do that while under investigation. But yes... shit still smells like shit on either side.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
