>
>As the Enron scandal exploded in January, Republicans moved quickly

>Bill Clinton. "[Ken] Lay also played golf with President Bill

>then made its way throughout the Corporate Media - Chicago Tribune,
>Weekly Standard, Washington Times, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette,
>Newhouse News Service, Times of London, ABC's This Week, Greta van
>Susteren's Fox News. Finally, the Big Lie was exposed by Gene Lyons,
>Salon.com, DailyHowler.com and Mediawhoresonline.com. This episode

>__Tampa Three Video of Arrest for Saying 'BOOO' to Bush at Public
>Rally
>
>On June 4, 2001, three citizens were arrested at a public
>presidential rally in Tampa, Florida for displaying negative signs.
>The rally was held at the Legends baseball field and was open to the
>general public. All three participants entered the field, signs in
>hand, without incident. The signs were letter size and read "BOOO,"
>"Investigate Florida Votergate," and "June is Gay Pride Month." Once
>on the field some republican volunteers began to shout "Get Out of
>here!" "Go Home!" The police were contacted and came down into the
>field. The police told the participants, "Lose the signs and you can
>stay." When the trio refused to give up their signs they were
>forcibly removed and subsequently arrested. Fortunately, the entire
>incident was caught on video, the charges were dropped and now the
>trio is suing. The video is now up on the Internet for everyone to

i didn't say i trusted or believed anyone. and since the media didn't put it out you aren't really making much sense. this was put out by democrats. so of course at least some of it if not all is propaganda. i also mentioned in the first post: it has some interesting stuff in it, some of which i find quite funny. too bnad we don't know if any of it is true for sure... but still is an interesting read...


Terr... i agree. some of it really does make alot of sense, but can we really believe it. just because the explanation is somewhat logical or fitting, is it true? i wonder...

__Enron Used CIA Agents and NSA's Echelon Intercepts to Coerce

learned... 'There have been at least 20 CIA agents on the payroll of

I mean, the way it is phrased... More sensationalist than informative-feeling. Plus, it's a tabloid.

[Alcatraz]

Just so you know, I didn't read much of the original thread. But I don't think I had to, I'd say the following either way.

I think the two party system is fundamentally flawed. People are more concerned about being a Republican or a Democrat then with doing the right thing. I think candidates should just print out a list of their policies, and these will be mailed to everyone. Then they can have a few televised debates where they actually have to answer the questions asked of them.

Maybe I'll post a new thread in Cosmos about this?
