Receiving campaign money doesn't amount to a close tie.

for months now, others on this thread have made Dems. guilty
by their associations.

If you association includes taking part in criminal activity, or if it is a association with terrorists or hostile foreign governments then you can blame someone just for the association. But saying that Bush is tainted because he legally took campaign money from Enron and/or Enron execs is ridiculous.

Secondly, the news has reported that ENE worked hard to provide the Rep. campaigns including Bush's
with more than the normal amount permitted by campaign laws.

You or your news sources twists that to make it sound nefarious. Its contributing "soft money", both parties take in many millions of "soft" dollars each year.

You like talking about associations, and making vague hints about something wrong with Bush. Why don't you get to the point. Do you think that Bush was in any way connected to any alleged illegal activity by Enron or its execs? If so what did he do that was illegal?

My point was that the Reps. have had close ties with ENE execs who have turned out to be corrupted

WHAT CLOSE TIES!?!? How are the ties of any Republican any closer than the ties of any Democrat that took money from Enron? In particular, when the Democrats provided a quid pro quo and the Republicans didn't?

I get the feeling you don't understand the basics about ethics.
