someone came onto the boards to post the following:
“”i remember the whole iran/contra mess on tv while it was happening and it was interesting to read your refresher on it. my only curiosity that remained however, regarded the ending remark about republicans.
how can you in good faith imply that such things are a republican only phenomenon by saying that the above is why you hate republicans? one who has taken the time to educate one self on such matters, as it appears you try to, should know that such scandals and insider trading of political assets so to speak, cross party lines at will. “”
to which i have to say, well, the whole iran-contra mess was conceived and executed by republicans.
i like some republicans.
john mccain.
chris dodd.
and a few others.
but watergate was the exclusive product of republicans.
iran-contra was the exclusive product of republicans.
the s&l debacle (costing american taxpayes one trillion dollars) was conceived and executed by republicans.
enron were george w’s biggest campaign contributor.
and so on.
democrats aren’t so great, but at least they’re relatively ethical when compared to republicans.
and at least the democrats don’t do business with terrorists and squander the taxpayers money in hand-outs to the rich (do your homework, research the s&l debacle and the current tax cuts and look at the egregious legislative sins that the republicans have commited…).
thanks,
