Gillespie worked for Enron and the GOP at the same time. So? If your arguing that its a potential conflict of interest, or generally negative for some other reason, maybe there is a point in there somewhere, but it isn't the point you have been trying to make. It doesn't indicate that Gillespie did anything involving price fixing, and even if you assume he did, it doesn't say that Bush had anything to do with it. Also if Enron did fix or illegally manipulate prices, it doesn't say anything about what the oil companies are doing now. Your shtick seems to be "guilt through association". Sometimes distant or indirect association. The problem with such an argument is that even close direct association proves nothing. It would be one thing if you made vague statements like "don't these connections seem fishy". That would be innuendo, but at least it would be less of a leap than what you actually say. You make relatively specific, and quite major accusations, and call anyone who disagrees with them either a fool or a criminal, based on nothing.
