The Abramoff scandal investigation

We didnt have to declare war on Germany.
They were no threat to us at all.They could not reach us militarily,except with submarines.
Those subs could not hurt us or our way of life.

So,we went to war with Germany because FDR wanted to,nothing more.

South Korea had its own military,and the UN was there to "protect" it.
Why did we have to waste so many American troops when the UN was there?
I thought the UN was the end-all,be-all for the world.

I never doubt Satana when it comes to history. It's his other garbage I take umbrage with.

Out of curiosity, how did I get drawn into your statement Walt?

In more Abramoff-related news, two Senators have announced that they will return more than $217,000 in contributions linked to the infamous lobbyist, The New York Times reported. The Senators, Conrad Burns, (R-Mont.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) made clear that they are attempting to distance themselves from Abramoff and have called on other members to return the contributions. Political strategists, working on behalf of possible challengers for the 2006 mid-term Congressional elections have made it publicly known that they will publicize Abramoff contributions in races where they are attempted to oust the incumbent. "This is an important step that all public officials should take in order to renew the faith" of voters, Burns told the Times. Of the top 25 Congressional recipients of political money linked to Abramoff, 19 are Republican and six are Democrats. Burns is returning $150,000 in contributions linked to Abramoff, including money he received from American Indian clients. Since 1999, he has received $49,590 from Abramoff's tribal clients. Dorgan, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, is returning $67,000. In October, Sen. Jim Talent (R-Mo.) became one of the first lawmakers to return Abramoff contributions.

Other news sources have reported other democrats offering their abramhoff-tainted money to charity. So can someone please explain to me why Dorgan and other Dems are suddenly returning and/or donating large chunks of money to charity?

If that is a serious question, the serious answer is that they are seeking to escape the taint of Abramoff's money. True for dems and republicans both.

But I'm guessing you are suggesting that Abramoff is, as President Bush deceitfully claimed, an equal money dispenser and so no particular or unique taint ought rightfully to be placed on the republican party. But Abramoff was not an equal money dispenser. And more to the point, that isn't the key issue in any case, which is why DeLay was pushed out by his own party last week and it's why the Republicans have now moved into damage control mode.

Walter, i don't fault you, i know christians have corrupted you . . .

FreeDuck, It doesn't matter how the process was done; if any are guilty of a crime, they belong in prison. I hope to live to see the day that happens.
If found guilty of crimes, no leniency.
