It is legal

That means little when we're talking about corruption under modern American law. Wiretapping citizens without a warrant will soon be legal. Bribing public officials is essentially legal if you play your cards right. Assigning lobbyists from industry to head key positions overseeing industries they represent is perfectly legal. Killing Iraqi civilians if you are an outsourced security contractor is legal. The list is endless.

There is legal, and there is right.

He's doing both, obviously.
Well, Karl, America had a chance to put Dennis "UFO" Kucinich in-charge and didn't. Him and his alien brotherhood could have fixed it all.

By the way, Iraq is about oil. So, a few hundred thousand Iraqis die in mass bombings. What's the problem? We need cheap oil so GM and Ford don't go bankrupt because their SUVs make them money. We can't let Honda's great mileage cars just take over without a war or two. Finland looks like they need an a@@ kicking about now.

And, considering Hillary & Bill Clinton have made millions from lobbying efforts (Bill did), Democrats are in on it too. Democrats have never refused to fund the war. Barack Obama either doesn't vote against it or just doesn't vote.

Bush had made some mistakes. It happens. He learns from his mistakes by never acknowledging them and moving on. Just because the world is united against us doesn't mean anything. Bush has plans to deal with that by uniting the world against China over Tibet. Bush clearly had this in mind when he invaded Iraq. Just wait till the Olympics in China and the heat will go to them. He's smart. His strategery is strong. Once everyone hates China, all this too shall pass. And, if it all fails, Dick Cheney shoots another lawyer in the face.

Gee, this sounds like the usual things pols always do.
Yep, they used to call it franking privileges. Elected officials use taxpayer money to send out thinly veiled advertisements about how great they are. Happens every few weeks.

Not saying Karl is wrong to point it out, but it sure as hell ain't new.

What's certain about Darwinism is that it would take less time for (1) a single-celled organism to evolve into a human being through mutation and natural selection than for (2) Darwinists to admit they have no proof of (1) - Ann Coulter]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20316946 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:47:21 EDT Re: Mailing much smaller in size than stated here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20315302 KrK : Fonrara is a good Senator....

Fonfara was so excited about AT&T's service, he sent out a mailing to all of his constituents

A letter sent by Fonfara on April 1 to residents on several streets in Hartford's Behind the Rocks neighborhood encouraged them to attend the event marking the local U-verse launch.
He pushed for competition; he got what he wanted; he is running for reelection; he is bragging to constituents. Gee, this sounds like the usual things pols always do.
Hes not pushing for competition.. he's being paid "lobbied" to make these choices.

WE need real change..

FTTH to the home and multiple ISPs to compete over that Link.

This is after he wrote a law that was largely a wish-list for AT&T, and got the CPUC off AT&T's back for suing everyone who suggested AT&T should sign franchise agreements that prevent them from cherry picking neighborhoods.

But we agree this is "the thing pols always do."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20313341 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:47:55 EDT Mailing much smaller in size than stated here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20313329 GOLFnSUN : »/speak/news,93481
