The Republican "Culture of Corruption" has been hard-at-work this week; Illinois Senator Dennis Hastert made a 300% profit, (2 Million Dollars) from the sale of real estate which had "appreciated" directly from the Federal government's freeway project adjacent to his property. (A Federal Highway project which Hastert worked VERY hard to push through Congress) Kind of like the publicly-funded sports stadium in Dallas... which made George Bush similar millions from the sale of his baseball team. The 21.1 million-dollar contract for FEMA limosines, which "Scooter" Libby awarded to a "convicted-felon" was documented in a letter which had been, until recently, in the posession of F.E.M.A. Today, it was announced, that evidence has "mysteriously" dissappeared!!!!!In another incident, Mike Leavitt, "Health & Human Services Secretary" was discovered to have been using a chartered private plane for his own political purposes. This airplane was leased to the "Center for Disease Control", and was SPECIFICALLY designated to be used ONLY for things such as "disasters", and "disease-outbreaks", yet Leavitt used it for Republican fund-raising...... amassing charges of $750,000 for it's use. (paid by OUR taxes!!)"George-the Lesser" made a campaign appearance in Albuquerque on Friday, to raise money for Heather Wilson. "Party-faithfuls" were allowed to pose for photos with the president, FOR A MERE $1000.00 EACH!!! Sounds a lot LIKE PROSTITUTION!!! I always suspected that the "W" stood for WHORE.... Now I have proof!! (While Democrats and anti-war protestors were kept more than 6 blocks away!! ) This week, Democrats labored to conduct a vote to "Investigate the no-bid contracts, and war-profiteering of the Iraq war"........ NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED TO CONDUCT SUCH INVESTIGATIONS!!! (Franklin Roosevelt conducted such inquiries during W.W.II, even investigating his OWN PARTY!! stating that "war-profiteering is treason"!!) NOT ONE REPUBLICAN was the "Cojones" to seek the truth about the missing $9 BILLION DOLLARS spent on Iraq's "reconstruction"!!! (Perhaps they have something to hide?) These corrupt bastards HAVE TO GO!!! It seems that ANYTHING is permissible, as long as they don't get caught!! This, remember, is the Republican Party...which campaigned on the premise of "accountability" and "fiscal-responsibility"!!!.................LIARS!!!!!!!
