The scandal that Bush has escaped

[jerryster]

Rather than dredging up Bush's AWOL status I believe this article points out a scandal that is so reprehensible the Dems should be screaming about it every day. Here's the link:

1. Why they have given the Pugs a walk on this

I will never understand.
It is, as far as I can tell, a massive civil rights
violation, and criminal fraud against the state of Florida by Choicepoint as well as the American People.

Just another CEO we will never see doing a perp walk, I guess.

2. Actually, There's Still Time

the AWOL story didn't surface four years ago. Once the race starts, Florida will inevitably come up. If the powers that hve truly decided it's open season on Bush, you can bet there will be MANY missed scandals that mysteriously resurface.

3. Let's hope

I would love to see that happen. Maybe this time around the mainstream press won't be so ready to give Bush a free ride.

4. absolutely - the culprits should feel the full effect of our Laws

... there's no way that America can 'forget about it and move on' and it not having serious repercussions for our country ...

the AWOL issue is a key to understanding how this criminal dawn operates ... but, someone has committed treason ... imo ... to let go by is dangerous, as we see with each passing day

Funeralgate needs to be resurrected.

Funeralgate
Bush's First Scandal
As governor, George W. Bush had to choose between upholding the law or intervening on behalf of a big campaign contributor. He asked his Chief of Staff, Joe Allbaugh, to pressure a state agency into silence so the money guys could keep breaking the law.

Now both Allbaugh and Bush are about to be caught lying under oath.

Could Bush be impeached? Stay tuned!!

Eliza May was head of the Texas Funderal Services Commission when it began receiving complaints about unlicensed embalmers being used by Service Corporation International (SCI), the world's largest funeral services company.

In one case, the mother of a popular newscaster went to lay flowers at her son's mausoleum. She was horrified to find it was "infested with gnats, and a malodorous maroon-colored fluid oozed out of her son's crypt," according to Newsweek.

May launched an investigation of SCI. But instead of receiving praise for defending the interests of Texas citizens, she was called into the Governor's office where Joe Allbaugh, Bush's Chief of Staff, was waiting with Robert Waltrip, the owner of SCI - and major Bush campaign contributor. These officials tried to pressure May into stopping her investigation - and George W. Bush stopped in to help them.
