Real Morals

How about a quick round-up of how anti-American and depraved Republican morals are? That sounds like fun, lets do it. Lets start with just some typical greed and federal law breaking.

How about the corrupt Republican political machine in Ohio. Remember Ohio? That's the state that gave chimpy the election by a few hundred thousand votes. Using electronic voting machines... with no paper trails.. developed by companies owned by Republican stooges.. who just happened to have promised to deliver Ohio for Bush.. But, I digress..

COLUMBUS — Tom Noe stole millions of dollars from the state and used a “Ponzi” scheme to fabricate profits within the state’s $50 million rare-coin investment, Ohio’s attorney general said yesterday.

“There was an absolute theft of funds going on,” Attorney General Jim Petro said.

Mr. Petro said there is evidence that Mr. Noe pocketed nearly $4 million in money invested with the coin fund through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation since 1998.

Mr. Petro asked a judge to further restrict the former Toledo-area coin dealer from selling personal assets because he believes they may have been purchased with state money.

But wait, there's more.

“On Day One, Tom Noe took $1.375 million and put it in his personal or his business account,” Mr. Petro said. Records show that Mr. Noe immediately began using the state’s money for his personal use, the attorney general said.

A week later, Mr. Noe and his wife, Bernadette, made $4,500 in contributions to then-Secretary of State Bob Taft’s campaign for governor.

That's a classic example of how the Republicans operate. They use nepotism to get at tax payer funds, steal those funds, and then they use some of those funds to, you guessed it, fund the political campaigns of yet more corrupt Republicans. And the cycle of Republican life goes on.

It's quite a scheme you have to admit.

That's just your garden variety sleaze that gets you thrown into a Federal pen for, oh I dunno, the rest of your life. Good bye Tom Noe, say hello to Bubba. Maybe he could share a cell with Republican Congressman Cunningham. Rumor is the Duke-Stir could keep you company, in more ways than one.

Lets check in on the treason front. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the State Department memo, circulated in the administration, not only showed Plame's CIA employment as top secret, it also detailed that it was not to be shared with any foreigners (the Brits for example).

Democrats plan to grill Bush confidant Karen Hughes about leak-case in her confirmation hearing for State Department public diplomacy post. A key department memo discussing Joseph Wilson's Niger trip was classified "Top Secret," and the passage about his wife's CIA role was specially marked "S/NF" -- not to be shared with any foreign intelligence agencies.

I think that would also mean that you don't share that information with Robert Novak either, even though Novak is a partisan hack for your corrupt treasonous party.

I'd be having flashbacks to Watergate, if I was old enough to remember Watergate.

But surely, the Republican party has integrity, and would confront the enemies of the United States regardless who they are, right? Well..

Republican operative Greg Mueller says "summer drama" about Rove proves Democrats are "desperate."

I see, now outing covert CIA ops during a war is "drama". How lovely. What does "desperate" mean? I think the Democrats are rather enjoying it.

Not to mention that those former CIA employees have sent their letter to Congress. Lets hope those fine Republican Congressmen listen to the CIA people.

"Intelligence officers should not be used as political footballs," the 11 said. "In the case of Valerie Plame, she still works for the CIA and is not in a position to publicly defend her reputation and honor."

But this is just Democrats being desperate right? We're all asking why the Republicans hate the CIA? Isn't the CIA something that we need in this country?

Remember what they did to those types of people during WWII? It wasn't summer drama. Ask Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.

At least Nixon had the good grace to resign. The Republicans of today are exactly the same sort of folks that lived in Munich Germany in the early 1940's and really didn't want to know what that weird smell was.
