Even I voted Republican at times as I thought they were the fiscally conservative part. Not. But then is either party?

James Murdoch Could Face Criminal Charges In Phone Hacking Scandal As if things couldn't get any worse for the Murdoch empire, new reports are emerging that James Murdoch--the head of News Corp's international holdings, and, until recently, the seeming heir apparent to father Rupert Murdoch--could face criminal charges in both the U.S. and the U.K. Murdoch has admitted that he authorized out-of-court settlements to victims of phone hacking during his time as head of News International, the British division of News Corp--and that the company misled Parliament repeatedly. Murdoch said that he did these things without "full possession of the facts." The Guardian reports that this admission--and reported payments to British police officers--may render Murdoch criminally liable under both British and American legislation: The payments could leave News Corp - and possibly James Murdoch himself - facing the possibility of prosecution in the US under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) - legislation designed to stamp out bad corporate behaviour that carries severe penalties for anyone found guilty of breaching it - and in the UK under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 which outlaws the interception of communications.

I am a compassionate conservative guy. I follow the Christian teachings including the ten commandments. Unfortunately, the GOP has been hijacked by right wing extremist who even use Crhistianity as an excuse to kill innocent people. Just remember that GWBush said that God told him to attack Iraq for it had WMD. In turn, how many commandments had been violated? The constant attacks on the duly elected POTUS Obama are hurting the country. Yet, those right wing extremists claim that they represent Christian groups, like Sarah Palin claiming to be Pentecostal follower, yet their actions are anything but. The party of Lincoln is not what Lincoln intended, and there is no decency reflected by Bob and Elizabeth Dole. Heh, I even thing that GWHBush was OK although I cannot stand his wife Barbara.
