1. They will never pay the piper

How many time have the Rep. been at the noose and how many are in jail. After all it is the Bush Extortion Central Justice Dept that brought charges. All they want is to weaken the Congress in the eyes of the public i; order to strengthen their power. None of us want corrupt gov. but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Do they talk about Bribery. No They changed it to campaign reform. We will not have the ability to raise campaign funds ,but their buddie Bush will be able to raise unlimited funds from his corp. friends and there will be no restrictions on where he can spend it.

3. Yep

Hasert is just DeLay's whipping boy. Now you know why they're trying to bring back DeLay. He's the power grabber and he probably has all the connections through Abramoff.
