That is, the deregulation efforts that allowed Enron to run amok were hatched immediately by the Cheney cabal after stealing the 2000 election.

They were started under Clinton, dipshit.

He is too busy slurping jew cock to allow such a trivial thing as reality to cloud his delusional, small mind.

Uhm... you might wanna check your timeline on that one...

and I don't even live in california, dipshit.


But hmmm... LTS gave a "take," and it was an out-and-out falsehood.

Whoever runs this troll gets huge props -- it takes a pretty smart dude to bat 1.000 in bullshit, and he does it flawlessly.

Okay, it's true that Clinton was a total sell out, as his NAFTA legislation proves. And he did grease the treads of unfettered deregulation. But the meeting with Cheney--and Energy Summit--featuring Ken Lay and pals marked the definitive point of the Rape of California. And it was initiated with the full blessing of Chimp 'n Cheney (and the lil' weasel Ross Perot as well).

If you actually have questions about this vile business, examine this..

Now as for my description of the current group looting the American--and world--economy, I submit that each word is in fact accurate and precise.

They--and let's offer the Koch brothers as a practical example--are Insanely Rapacious...(check)...Plutocratic...(check)...Predatory Capitalists..(check)

So, if you actually disagree, go ahead and try to defend your "position"...

As it is, there's no actual dispute of anything I've said. :wink:

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Do you ever listen to Rivero's podcasts?

[LTS TRN 2]

No, but did you read the Enron site I provided?

The time you idiots actually dispute or even attempt a real argument will be a first. You'll probably get a nosebleed.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

No, but did you read the Enron site I provided?

Yes. That's Michael Rivero's site. Quite familiar with it and I read many articles this that one a few times a week.

[LTS TRN 2]

Well good for him. it's got a lot of info, and I've not seen or read anything to dispute any of it. Andrew Fastow, meanwhile, having rolled over on his pals, is getting out of prison shortly.

Rep. David Wu won't resign, won't run again, will face ethics investigation

Rep. David Wu faces an ethics investigation requested by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
WASHINGTON – Defiant and dug in, Rep. David Wu said late Sunday that he would not resign, declaring instead that he will complete his term and then retire from Congress in 2012.

The surprising decision came one day after senior Democratic leaders urged the seven-term Democrat to resign quickly after reports that he was accused of an unwanted and aggressive sexual encounter with a young woman last November.

Wu did not issue a formal statement or appear in public on Sunday. A senior Democratic official confirmed for The Oregonian that Wu had made the decision.

The news did not sit well with Democratic leaders, who have been pressing Wu to step down after concluding he can no longer be effective and that the continued presence of a lawmaker accused of inappropriate sexual acts could damage the party's chances going into the 2012 elections.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi immediately called for an ethics investigation into Wu's encounter with the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor in California during a visit over Thanksgiving.

"I call on the Ethics Committee to initiate an investigation into the allegations against Congressman Wu," she said in a statement. "With deep disappointment and sadness about this situation, I hope that the Ethics Committee will take up this matter."

She said she would send a letter to the Ethics Committee today asking for a formal review.

Pelosi's reaction was followed by an even tougher statement from Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., who chairs the party's campaign committee and is responsible for the political fortunes of House Democrats.

"New allegations of unacceptable behavior by Congressman Wu are extremely serious and disturbing. I strongly agree with Leader Pelosi's request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an immediate investigation," Israel said in a statement.

The burst of activity came after 10 p.m. EDT following a report in POLITICO about Wu's decision.

"He isn't going to be running for reelection," POLITICO quoted an unnamed advisor to Wu as saying. "But he hasn't done anything that rises to the level of requiring him to resign."

The emphatic announcement caught many Democrats by surprise. It came on a day when Wu remained largely secluded in what Democratic sources said they hoped was contemplation that would move him closer to a decision to quit.

The Oregonian’s continuing coverage of David Wu in Congress.Wu has been the subject of unflattering news for months, the result of erratic behavior last fall that led to the departure of most of his senior staff and his acknowledgment that he required counseling and treatment.

But whatever tolerance there was among Democratic leaders in Washington and Oregon for his behavior virtually evaporated with the revelation of the sexual accusation, first reported Friday evening by The Oregonian.

The incident became known to Wu's staff when the young woman left a distraught message in May on the phone line of the congressman's district office in Portland. She accused Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior, according to sources with direct knowledge of the message and its contents.

The young woman and her family have declined comment. The Oregonian is not identifying her. The newspaper has a policy of not naming possible victims of sexual assault unless they request it.

Wu, 56, has refused to answer questions about the incident.

Now that Wu has decided to stay in office, congressional aides and others with experience in similar cases say pressure to resign will increase in the coming days.

In that sequence, the demand for an ethics investigation of the incident is the first step.

Wu's announcement may also influence opinion in his district.

It may be quantified on Wednesday when Washington County Democrats are expected to vote on a no confidence measure. Party member David Robinson of Aloha is pressing the effort.

Robinson, a commander in the Navy Reserves, ran against Wu in the 2010 Democratic primary, losing with 19 percent of the vote. He first considered pushing the no-confidence vote this winter, after reports first surfaced regarding Wu's troubled 2010 reelection campaign.

He dropped it, but resurrected the motion this weekend when he saw "a pattern of behavior" emerge, he said

Robinson would have to clear a few procedural hurdles to bring his measure to a vote. And it's not clear how much support he enjoys among party activists. Karen Packer, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Washington County, said she couldn't predict the result of Wednesday's possible vote. "That's going to depend on what happens in the next couple days," Packer said.

Announced challengers to Wu in next year's Democratic primary reacted swiftly Sunday night.

"David Wu's reported plan to remain in office but not seek re-election puts David Wu first and his constituents last," Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian said in a prepared statement sent to reporters.

State Rep. Brad Witt, D-Clatskanie, said Wu's announcement prompts new concerns. "Will he be at all effective?" Witt asked. "That's very much in question."

Beth Slovic of The Oregonian staff contributed to this report.

Ooops, awshit... apparently Mr Wu is actually a DemocRat.

Ooops, awshit... apparently Mr Wu is actually a DemocRat.

You mean my rep?

He's been fairly consistantly in the top 5 in congressional spending.

Must have been about 5 years or so ago, since I know people (that fortunately I no longer have the displeasure of interacting with, but were once democrat bigwigs... one of which might have held that seat before Wu...

But I happened to overhear them talking about some allegations about Wu back then (the papers were blowing up their phone for comment). That one got swept under the rug, apparently.

Let's see -- straight-up socialist... sexual predator... taken a trip to the funny farm in the last few months... wife left him for being a chronic cheater...

Sounds like a congressman, alright.

But he's got a D. It's been 36 years since this district had an R.
