Link between ENRON and the White House!

President's Connection with Enron. Very interesting!!.

This is an interesting bit of information that you don't hear
much about in the media ---

1) Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice president in the Oval Office.

2) Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years.

3) It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities.

4) The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.

5) The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels and even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it.

6) The taxpayer-supported Export-Import Bank subsidized Enron for more than $600 million in just one transaction. Scandalous!!

7) BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush.

Care to take a guess at who it was?? Well, I will tell you it was President Bill Clinton!

Enron is the largest financial supporter of the Bush Administration.
This is common knowledge.
That company has donated more money to the Bush, than any corporation has to any president...ever.

Ken Lay, and Dubya are close freinds......why do you think that Lay wasnt prosecuted until recently, and for an entirely different crime?

I don't get the point of his original message. Is it that we should be outraged that Clinton accepted this money? Because that doesn't actually let Bush off the hook for doing it also. Or is he saying it's okay for Bush, because Clinton did it too?

Think about it for a second, Clinton ran against Bush Sr. Ken Lay is grand friends with the Bush's.. it doesn't make sense.

Not to mention that, according to Robert Scheer of the LA Times, Lay and Top Enron executives had donated neartly $2 million to Bush since 1993.

First off, "y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural.

Second, this is no more the truth than that e-mail in Texastambul's inbox that says a pill can double the size of his penis.

Scandal uncovered. It has come to the attention of White House staff that G.W. Bush and Dick Chenney are really gay lovers. In this shocking discovery by White House staffers, George Bush was quoted as saying "Well, since you found us out, you might as well join us" In other news, Lynn Chenny and Laura Bush have also been carrying on a secret affair. The White House staff expressed shock at this discovery, but an un-named source told us "Hey if it feels good do it"

So..."the head republican guy" whos title you dont know..

sends you an e-mail that he could have picked up ANYWHERE and sent it to you..so that he could fly out to meet a Senator that is DEAD.

You dont know why they would do that kind of thing?

THATS BECUASE THEY DIDNT.

Ken Lay......do you know who he is?
Hes the Chairman of Enron.
The Bush family (dubya and Senior) are very good freinds with Mr. Lay.

Enron has donated more money to the Bush campaign than ANYONE ELSE.

So...

It wouldnt make sense for them to donate that kind of money to Clinton, who ran against Bush sr, does it?

So then....

You don't get to decide when a thread ends and when it doesn't.. once you start it, it's fair game.. Look to the left of the screen.. see, I'm a mod.. look to the left of your screen again.. Oh look, you're not. Get it? ;)

I don't even believe that. I think you just come in here and make up ridiculous claims, and whenever someone questions your sources, you lie and say, "Uh, I got it in an email. A mysterious email that doesn't have any information about the author of the contents of said email."

Do you have a source for this theory? No source, no story.... ;)

If I made a serious claim you would be one of the first people asking for a source and you know it. So we had a little fun with it. I don't think any one was flamed.

Enron has donated more money to the Bush campaign than ANYONE ELSE.


mostly true, except that it doesn't account for Saudi funds.

It wouldnt make sense for them to donate that kind of money to Clinton, who ran against Bush sr, does it?


Well, there is a lot of truth to what he is saying. Remember, Clinton was president for eight years so it is unfathomable to think that he didn't receive money from Enron. Now, this is not to say that Enron supported Clinton. (although that hardly matters)

Stay with me on this one. Enron is a corporation, and even though it is clearly in the business of politics, no company wishes to have a partison label. Therefor, Enron does give money to Democrats -- it is a tax write-off, and it keeps them from appearing too powerful. For instance, it is a well known fact that when Bush was asked about Enron he said the company donated to his opponet Ann Richards. The statement is true, but it fails to factor in that Enron's donations to Mrs. Richards was miniscual compared to it's contributions to Bush.

Kerry is not a Communist and spreading lies about him, his wife or Clinton, makes it look like YOU are the subversive person. Your credibility is weakened by this type of posting IMHO.

OMG, look what just came in my email.. (no pun there btw)

Scandal uncovered. It has come to the attention of White House staff that G.W. Bush and Dick Chenney are really gay lovers. In this shocking discovery by White House staffers, George Bush was quoted as saying "Well, since you found us out, you might as well join us" In other news, Lynn Chenny and Laura Bush have also been carrying on a secret affair. The White House staff expressed shock at this discovery, but an un-named source told us "Hey if it feels good do it"

Pluuuuease! :rolleyes:

Yet another email. Although, I have recieved this one twice, and they were different. All the stats as in the money and everything was the same, it was just ordered differently.

For future reference, it should be noted that e-mails have just a slightly higher reliability level than crystal balls, fortune cookies, and "I heard it in a love song... so it can't be wrong". :p

This is just too funny... not only can't you cite sources, you can't even keep on topic. Then on top of that, you use inflamatory language and scare tactics. I only hope the moderators preserve this thread in the archives as an example of how NOT to try to defend a position.

(I'm not trying to flame here, just state the facts:
1) he didn't cite sources
2) he didn't stay on topic (going from Clinton to Kerry)
3) calling Kerry a "communist is inflamatory
4) a call to keep Kerry out of the White House because of his alleged communism is a scare tactic
If the moderators do consider this flaming, then I apologize and will try to avoid making similiar posts)

I just checked my e-mail: it seems my there is a pill that will double the size of my penis.

That got me to wondering about how many women get such e-mails....

First off, "y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural.

In the southern states, y'all is a widely accepted, though slang, form of 2nd person plural. (http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Thou)

Okay, so Gray-what's-his-name isn't too keen on backing up his statements...

That doesn't mean that Enron didn't have close ties with Bill-the-mad-bomber-Clinton.

Here's the tip of the ice-berg
"Enron did surprisingly well during the Clinton years," declared NBC News reporter Lisa Myers on the February 25 NBC Nightly News. She explained: "Lay played golf with the President, and Enron received $1.2 billion in government-backed loans for projects around the world. Documents obtained by NBC News show the Clinton administration billed three Enron projects in India and Turkey as success stories, personally pushed by the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. About that time, Enron made its first $100,000 contribution to the Democrats."

The point is that just because the messenger doesn't double check his "sources" doesn't mean that he's wrong -- it just means that he's an idiot.

The second point is that the two-party monopoly is a sham... both parties are power-hungry despots that don't care about the peasants...
