What was it you were saying earlier about arrogance, ASTAC?

I never said I wasn't part of the problem.

"Libertarian" is one of those one-size-fits-all labels which sounds nice but doesn't have a whole lot of practical meaning.   In truth, I disagree with most of what that party is about at a fundamental level.

Delay may or may not have committed a crime, but to claim that this indictment isn't politically motivated is folly.  It's Washington--EVERYTHING is politically motivated.  Yes, even Clinton.  Is there a person here who seriously thinks that the Republicans would have impeached him if he was a republican President?  No, it would have been the Dems doing it.  That's just how it is.

Did you guys actually read why he was admonished the last time?

From Nash's link.

The ethics panel faulted DeLay's actions in asking the Federal Aviation Administration last year to help locate a private plane that Republicans thought was carrying Texas Democratic legislators. Some Democratic lawmakers were leaving the state to prevent a quorum that Republicans needed in Austin to pass a bitterly disputed congressional redistricting plan engineered by DeLay. DeLay's staff asked an FAA official to help find the plane in a bid to force the legislators back to the capital.

He was trying to find the Democrats that were running away from their jobs.

The Bastard!

You could always throw your vote away and vote libertarian, but what would be the point. Somehow these 2 parties have convinced the people that there are only 2 parties that are allowed to hold power.

How did this come to be?  Simple, private corprate money 'buying' politicians....

Is it really a surprise to you that NBC( the highest rated U.S. news broadcast, last I looked,) is owned by a defense contractor?

A surprise That the majority of the media is dominated by corprate, capitalist agendas?  

Should they really be allowed to complete the monopoly by buying politicians for thier lobbyist intrests?  There are some laws to prevent this, Delay is splitting hairs.



You have more than the Libertarians too,

You have the Green Party
East & West coast Progressives too(they are diffrant)
and many more parties to suit your wants.....Whatever they are.  I think you can join the communist party nowadays without being blacklisted.

I think we need a new amendment .. seperation of corpration and state

(in the sense of buying politicians, not the U.S. treasury S.E.C. etc)
