Christopher Hodgkin-
i agree about moore's anti-republican bias...
however your point is minuscule and misplaced
in light of the massive, substantiated,
facts that he stated about the financial
support accepted from, and the policy
making power given to, enron officials.
i don't care what political party does this,
it shouldn't be legal when it sets up conflicts
of interest. lobbying, public debate, and the
ballot box should be the arena for influencing
policy... not financial contributions.
did you click the hypertext links in moore's letter?
i was unpleasantly surprised at the massive
amount of conflict of interest situations
allowed, and participated in, by the bush campaign
and administration. i can't blame enron too much...
if political power is legally for sale and you can
afford it, you should buy it, que no?
i think your comment about moore was about as
relevant, in light of the details presented, as saying,
"he's fat" or "he sends PMs to poet." i just don't
see this as a partisan issue. do you?
do you have a personal opinion about campaign finance
regulations and the granting of policy making influence
to financial contributors that supports what enron
officials and the bush administration did in the instances
that moore referred to? if so, let's hear it.
i'm not naive about politics... campaign finance has to
come from somewhere but... "Houston... I think we've
got a problem." and i think we need some serious reform
and scrutiny from people other than just michael moore.
as a citizen, i'd rather pay a tax to finance campaigns
than continue to let rich corporations and individuals
gain political favor through their financial contributions.
