Now lets play fair... innocent until proven guilty, correct? Same with Mr. Harry Reid... innocent until proven guilty.
You are condeming before all the facts are in and the case has been reviewed through a proper court of law.

interesting concept CJ....
since the FBI works for Director Robert Mueller and he works for Alberto Gonzalez, who in turn works for Dubya? i'd say it's just the Justice Dept doing it's job....

The Democrats holier than thou attitudes are disgusting and ridiculous....
WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has been using campaign donations instead of his personal money to pay Christmas bonuses for the support staff at the Ritz-Carlton where he lives in an upscale condominium. Federal election law bars candidates from converting political donations for personal use.
Questioned about the campaign expenditures by The Associated Press, Reid's office said Monday his lawyers had approved them but he nonetheless was personally reimbursing his campaign for the $3,300 he had directed to the staff holiday fund at his residence.
Reid also announced he was amending his ethics reports to Congress to more fully account for a Las Vegas land deal, highlighted in an AP story last week, that allowed him to collect $1.1 million in 2004 for property he hadn't personally owned in three years.
Reid knows he got busted and now he is backpedling to save his ass. When will you Americans finally learn that your Republicans and your Democrats are both filthy lying crooks. Your system is truly laughable.

No sir, I bear no allegiance to any American political parties. My rhetoric is geared to the obvious over abundance of Democratic sympethizers that adorn this website. They are first to point finger and blame, yet when one of their own gets caught committing the same crimes they attempt to cover it up or blame the other side or just avoid the issues.
I am very fascinated with the American political system and its ugliness.

LOL... as if the GOP is any better...
for a furrinner? you sure are partisan...
i think you may even be a bit less than honest yourself...
This is my point exactly... as if the GOP is any better... as if the Democrats is any better...
The American voter continues to put these dishonest and corrupt men and women in office, and they continue to betray your trust and to waste your money. You give no creedance to third parties. You think you are throwing your vote away.
No, you are throwing your vote away by putting these fools back into office. Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of stupidity. So who is the stupid ones?

Einstein never did come up with a Unified theory...
in fact? when you get into quantum mechanics? you do get different results from doing the same thing over and over...
i think you just envy US...
your country has no choice but to join the EU to compete economically...
power corrupts everyone everywhere... the Dutch are not superhumans devoid of corruption... as a matter of fact? last time i looked? Holland was the largest supplier of the illegal drug methylenedioxy-n-methylamphetamine to the US...
no matter tho... i don't really expect someone still living under a monarchy to understand our Nation....

Unfortunately, I once lived in a small southern town where the Umptith of all KKK Umptieths lived and sometimes got assaulted with his bigoted bs at public functions and such. (He wasn't picking on me, he haranged at whomever couldn't scurry for cover when he showed up.)
He, of course, insisted he was not bigoted, it was just those God damned ignurt _______'s dodn't know how to stay in the place god intended them to.
He sounded a lot like you.

This is typical of you... you start a thread about Republican corruption. I post a story about Democratic corruption.
Just like I said, you avoid the issues and it turns into me being accused of operating a hate group and a jab at my countrys economic inabilities.
Your country has an ugly track record of intolerance. We are a tolerant and open people.
Is it just pure ignorance that you must avoid responding to issues of reality and use ridiculous responses to take the focus of your ugly and corrupt political system?

i did not avoid the issues...
you even agreed that i was correct about the GOP being bad too...
as far as jabbing at your country? that's laughable..
i merely offered an observation/speculation as to why you continue to post condescending statemnets about American politics... i didn't "jab" at your country, i merely said you are not in much of a position to critisize as tho from a pulpit...
what do you expect?

In case you haven't noticed, I have been stating that both of your political parties are a corrupt, ignorant, and ridiculous farce.
But what I am attempting to get understanding is why the American voter continues to put the corrupt officials back in office. I am trying to understand why America is satisfied with just two political parties. The nation of freedom and liberty has only two political parties that Americans can choose from. We in Europe cannot grasp this concept.
Your forefathers revolted against opression. Today you help continue the opression. You let it grow and grow and grow. Where is the sense in this?

Why when some body makes a post about the current power at large. Some body says so you think they are bad look what I know about the other side. As if that is justification for all the wrong.
If you are a right wing person don't forget you are the ones that ran on the moral soap box,gun control,large Government, and made a big deal about being gay.
All of wich you have done nothing about.
As a matter of fact there are people that say in private Bush and his cronies laugh at you people on the regligious right and say to them selves that you are a stupid bunch.
We progressives have known that for years but we never thought you would want to trash the Bill off Rights and vote in fascism with a big dumb grin on you face .
So the only way you can now redeem yourself is to join the Army show us that you can die well you have shown us how bad you live . So most people of honor would choose a glorious death and faster you do it the least time you have to live with your shame.

It's true the American economy sucks. That is why our Euro is worth more than the American dollar. And why I can make so much money on the forex trading against the dollar. Your Fed chief is witholding key information. Information that would erode the current US stock market condition.

China keeps buying US dollars, that's why we are as high as we are......
i have never subscribed to the thought that having a high value on your currency versus a foreign currency is a good thing tho...
the market has been being propped up right now by the same hedges that pushed oil up early last year...
i am looking for a big pullback in the next six months...

i have to agree...
the oil supply from prudhoe/north slope gets cut down by a major amount and the prices drop?
everybody is happy that gasoline is now 2.25 a gallon?
the markets are being totally manipulated at the highest levels...
i suspect that Bush secretly envies the Chinese Govt... total control is his wet dream...

You all just wait until your current election season is over. That's when the sh*t will really hit the fan for your stock market, your oil, your energy, your currency, your interest and inflation numbers, etc.

I'm not anti gun. Amass all the guns you want. I wish I could. Clinton's life was nobodies personal business. He ran the country fine despite his marital excesses.
I am just joining in with your fellow Americans anti-American sentiments. What's wrong with that? Anbd what's wrong with capitalizing on your countries dismal economy and dismal political status? The past 9 months I have made a fortune capitalizing on the demise.

Didnt you guys have a Nazi civilian government that cooperated in the persecution of Jews not to long ago that would most likely still be intact if it werent for US? A simple THANK YOU would be fine.
Just remember one thing. Without our intervention in WWII, your piss-ant city would have never became known as "the Gay Capital of Europe"
YOURE WELCOME!
