All you need to know to understand Bush/Enron/Cheney. abcnews.go.com $2,500,000 contributions just the declared part. There was a lot more "help". Plus company jet, hiring people like Ralph Reed to working (while at Enron) for the Bush campaign ($20,000 a month "consulting fee), helping to engineer the mammoth phony energy scandal of 2000-2001 and gouging GOP opponent California for 30-40 billion. Working with Cheney on the Taliban oil pipepline. All part of a plan to de-regulate and dominate the energy business world-wide, price-fix, ravage wildnerness areas where oil might be, and to also dominate the US political system using Bush and the GOP. Almost worked too. If it hadn't been for hero Jeffords and others. Enron was the #1 player but there were many more, including the companies of James Baker and Dick Cheney, George Bush Sr's various interests and clout with OPEC, Williams, "clean" coal interests (anything but), El Paso Gas (600% price hike against California), nuclear, Duke and Halliburton planning to build 1700 new power plants after a phony shortage was triggered, etc. etc etc. Grounds for impeachment? A thousands times worse than anything Clinton ever did in his wildest dreams.

Nah, most of the folks on this thread prefer draft dodgers like Tommy Boy Delay: awolbush.com DeLay was expelled from Baylor in '67 Associated Press Web Posted : 04/20/2002 12:00 AM HOUSTON — Rep. Tom DeLay, who apologized this week for any "misunderstandings" he caused by advising a group of Christian conservatives not to send their children to Baylor or Texas A&M, omitted the fact that he was expelled from one of the schools. A spokesman for DeLay, R-Sugar Land, confirmed Friday that DeLay was kicked out of Baylor in 1967 for his "extracurricular activities" and "too vigorous a social life." Spokesman Jonathan Grella told the Houston Chronicle that DeLay's comments about Baylor had nothing to do with the fact that he was kicked out of the school. The spokesman declined to detail what DeLay did other than to say it involved "lots of pranks." "He (DeLay) accepted the consequences of his actions and was glad they did it (kicked him out)," Grella said. "These experiences did him a favor and were helpful in helping him mature." Baylor spokesman Larry Brumley confirmed DeLay attended the university from 1965 to 1967, but said he could not divulge further details because of confidentiality laws. According to the Washington Post, DeLay's use of alcohol contributed to his antics at Baylor. He was a pre-med student at Baylor, and in 1970 he earned a degree in biology from the University of Houston. According to a 1995 article in the New Republic, DeLay was expelled from Baylor for "dancing and painting buildings green at rival Texas A&M." At the time, Baylor did not allow dancing on campus. Grella said DeLay openly talks about his previous problems at Baylor. Last week, unaware someone was taping his remarks, DeLay told 300 people at Pearland's First Baptist Church not to send their children to Baylor or Texas A&M. A male questioner had expressed frustration that major Texas universities do not teach creationism and asked DeLay for advice. The Chronicle reported the exchange Thursday after receiving a tape recording of DeLay's remarks from the Washington-based Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. In response, Delay issued a statement Thursday apologizing. DeLay's daughter, Danielle DeLay, graduated from Texas A&M in 1995. DeLay told churchgoers that his daughter "had horrible experiences with coed dorms and guys who spent the weekends in the rooms with girls, and all this kind of stuff went on there." DeLay apparently brought up Baylor at the church gathering because the questioner named Baylor as a place that does not teach creationism despite being a conservative religious institution. DeLay urged the churchgoers to pressure state legislators to "throw the PC out and bring God in" at Texas public universities. A Baylor regent who did not wish to be identified said he has supported DeLay politically in the past but would no longer do so, the Chronicle reported. news.mysanantonio.com
