"This is one of the most corrupt regimes America has ever had to endure. Period" Do you feel that the Clinton regime was LESS corrupt than the Bush regime? If you do, we can debate that on the facts if you would like. As opposed to your blanket statement regarding the Bush administration with no backup. Please list one verified act of corruption if you can. Keep in mind that even super Dem Waxman has acknowledged that there is NOTHING to the Enron allegations the dems threw out to the public.

This is one of the most corrupt regimes America has ever had to endure. Flat out load of crap Ray. Your emotions are no substitute for facts. Where were you while Jesse the Impregnator was raping the African continent? . Everything he did, Jackson insists, was "on assignment for the U.S. government." But many are the witnesses who dispute his benevolent portrait of Charles Taylor and Foday Sankoh. As Sankoh's RUF killers were chopping off children's limbs in Freetown, African journalist Tom Kamara wrote, "Rev. Jackson is considered a civil rights leader in America, but in Africa he is a killers' rights leader." .......................................................... It was a gala affair, attended by more than 5,000 delegates, and Jackson was wearing his hat as the president's special envoy as well as his hat as a deal broker for private business. Along with him was old friend and Rainbow/PUSH supporter Maceo Sloan, CEO of NCM Capital Management Group, a brokerage firm that began as a subsidiary of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. The six-foot seven-inch Sloan had built a financial empire trading stocks and political influence, and headed his own financial group. Once Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa, Sloan moved in by creating New Africa Advisors in Johannesburg and, more recently, the Calvert New Africa Fund. The North Carolina millionaire and Democratic Party contributor cashed in on his political connections by receiving $120 million in guaranteed loans from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation for his New Africa Opportunities Fund. Jackson wisely named him chairman of the Wall Street Project. As a successful businessman Sloan was at home with CEOs and financial reporters. With other black businessmen he established a political action committee in 1995 called Mobilization for Economic Opportunity, intended to "counter some of the anti-affirmative action rhetoric from conservatives." Sloan raised $241,454 during the 1996 election cycle through his PAC. All but $3,500 of it went to Democrats. He gave $25,000 to Jackson's Citizenship Education Fund in 1997 worldnetdaily.net
