[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] Investagate this whole fiasco. That there are people on both sides of the isle with Enron money in their pockets is hardly the issue. I'm sure some Democrats will be caught in the backlash from all of this (which may speak more to our corrupt campaign finance system than anything else). However, as Jeff pointed out, it is easier to list those in the present administration who don't have close ties to Enron than it is to don't. Meanwhile, Bush/Cheney are creating an energy policy that is in bed with big oil and Enron. Talk about buying influence. Meanwhile, hundreds of Enron employees are loosing everything because the company made them buy stock as part of the retirement package while company executives officials are selling off their own stock. All under the oversight of the present administration. Talk about criminal. No wonder Cheney fought so hard to keep information on public policy under his thumb. [QUOTE]During his run for the White House, Bush fought long and hard to convince us that he was a new breed of conservative -- a Compassionate Conservative. But recent events make clear that he is actually the standard bearer of a far more coldhearted breed. Call them the Enron Conservatives. Enron Conservatives are people who use political money and connections as levers to free themselves of all accountability to laws, regulations and responsibility -- even to their own employees. Simply put, they are people who consistently, shamelessly and aggressively put their self-interest above the public interest. And when the lives of others are destroyed in the process, they just look the other way and hope that the law does, too. --- Not that long ago, Bush was vowing to battle domestic suffering with "armies of compassion." Instead, he and his cadre of Enron Conservatives are adding to the carnage.[/QUOTE]From and opinion piece by Arianna Huffington.
