We know where David Ray stands on the issue, if it's good enough for Saddam, it's good enough for Enron's leaders, and their ilk.
Well, I don't think we should take the CEOs of the Fortune 500 and shoot them! This is a rather extreme position, don't you think?
This notion that conservatives are supportive of the Enrons and Global Crossings does not comport with the facts. The Clinton administration was much closer to Enron than was the Bush administration. You may have forgotten that the ONLY wrongful act on the part of a government official thus far has been a former CLINTON official calling and asking for the current administration to fraudulently intervene -- and the Bush Administration refused to do so. Further, according to TIME (a liberal media publication):
"Documents obtained by TIME show the energy giant enjoyed much closer ties with Clinton Administration regulators than was generally known. Long before Cheney's task force met with Enron officials and included their ideas in Bush's energy plan, Clinton's energy team was doing much the same thing. Drafting a 1995 plan to help facilitate cash flow and credit for energy producers, it asked for Enron's input—and listened. The staff was directed to "rework the proposal to take into account the specific comments and suggestions you made," Clinton Deputy Energy Secretary Bill White wrote an Enron official."

Further, liberal leader Terry McAuliffe was clearly a huge beneficiary of the Global Crossing failure.
Bottom Line: Not one of the allegations against a Bush Administration official has (a) been proven, or (b) would be inappropriate or illegal if it WERE proven. The same cannot be said of Clinton's involvement.
This should surprise no one. The Democrat party has a clear history of corruption, and the last ten years Democrat corruption has been at its absolute worst. No such history exists within the Republican party. While occasional lapses of Republican integrity have occurred, I do not believe such lapses exist in ANYWHERE NEAR the numbers as in the Democrat party. If you disagree, prove me wrong.
Where do you get the idea that conservatives are on the wrong side of this issue? (Answer: The Liberal Media. I recommend you start thinking for yourself). |
