[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Well. Most of that (much longer) post was comprised of "Enron sucks and treats its people badly." Fortunately, none of that is actually in dispute here, so it may be discounted. People with problems with Enron's policies should sue Enron's management, not try to blame Bush. In fact, the true nature of what SHOULD be the basis of any complaint, it DISCOUNTED by the article itself. [QUOTE]. Although Bush and his administration have made sympathetic noises, so far they have refused to bail out the company. [/QUOTE]Which nicely defuses any hint of impropriety. Bush has done nothing lately for Enron, so what's the beef? [QUOTE] In time, the company became the largest natural gas merchant in North America and the United Kingdom. [/QUOTE]Which means it was certain to be a major player in any realistic national energy policy, no matter WHOSE administration was in charge. [QUOTE]then governor Bush helped deregulate Texas electric markets in 1999, permitted "grandfathered air polluters" and passed laws protecting businesses from lawsuits. [/QUOTE]Which worked well in that state, and is pretty much a standard Republican platform. Nothing out of the ordinary there. 'Favors for money,' as long as there's nothing illegal about it, is older than politics. Oh, and he didn't 'pass' the laws. The Texas legislature, representing their constituents, did that. He just signed them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
