How Sad...

By the Associated Press today...

WASHINGTON - A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, forcing the House majority leader to temporarily relinquish his post.

How completely sad, that even our highest elected officials will lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want. These men are suppose to have ethics. I love how Delay's attorney called the indictment an attack from a an extreme Democrat. The indictment included a copy of the actual check the senators received.

Surely you don't think that politicians are honest!

First off I never used the word honest. Secondly, alot of congressmen do alot of good for the community and this country. That is such a stereotypical young adult attitude to politics in America. Unfortnately in this country I still expect some level of integrity and accountability for ones actions.

Welcome to the real world. Just hope you dont work for any forum of Government and think youR boss is honest.

You're in a fantasy world, my friend. Unfortunately, politicians are just like everybody else, they worry about "what's in it for me?"

Next you are going to call all attorneys liars and dishonest. I am not going to argue with your about your political beliefs, but you are generalizing a large group of people. That is like me saying that people in Tenn. are hillbillies and inbred. Maybe some are, but not necessarily you are.

But nevertheless I still find this story amusing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... and I could make some lovely generalizations about people in Cali. too, but I'm not gonna stoop to your level. Politicians are a bit different, especially those that are high profile, like Mr. DeLay.

I'm waiting for a conviction.

As they say: a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

You must only hear what you want to hear, or you have a seriously lack of communication skills. Must I remind you of what has been discussed in this topic:

1.)You generalized politicians in general and said they were all selvish crooks. 2.)I called you on your generalization of the profession by comparing it to a situation that related to you.3.)You respond by saying that I am "below you"

You are seriously misguided if you took my previous comment as an insult. It was not intended to be one, just an example of what you were doing. So have a nice day, learn the facts and then you won't have to generalize.

O.J.- I too am interesting in seeing what the outcome of the trial is, although it is bit of a stretch to get two seperate grand jury indictments for different crimes, the latest being money laundering. I guess we will see how many political alias he has through his trial.

I didn't say you were below me, thats not what the phrase "I'm not gonna stoop to your level" means. In this situation, it means you made a jab at the place where I live, I thought it was childish, and I'm not gonna act in that manner. The way I feel about politicians is the same way a lot of people feel, and there are reasons for that.
