Should Enron be an issue for US voters?
Is there a reason why the California Electricity "Crisis" and the criminal behaviors of Enron, their associates in the Bush Energy Task Force and Arthur Anderson are not on the table? Seeing how Arnold could sieze office without ever being asked the question, should we allow Democratic candidates to forego any stand for or against what happened to California and the world under Enron?

2. This should be a huge issue
Enron and other companies ripped off California. When they were accused of price-fixing they acted all offended. Then it turned out to be true. Where the fuck is the media?!

Yes, it should be an issue.

5. Kerry can't say anything about it
because his wife Theresa is connected to Enron. It's time for Dean to get a second look, or for Edwards to get a closer first look.

6. Enron, like so many other
corporate thieves, was simply swept aside by the media, Martha is a far worse criminal. I will write a few letters this weekend, for the umpteenth time, to our local media, asking to bring this up. I only get silence.....thank the coud being for the net.

7. well, Arnold did seize office, kind of, as if Californians had forgotten
that was shocking to me ... how can we Californians forget who, what, how we got here? Of course, the case may not have been properly framed by the Democrats against Ahhhnold ...

The AWOL story should have been 'this hot' in 1999-2000 ... so, I guess 'the Media' will, again, decide for us, when 'enron', and all the damage it encompasses, should be 'hot'. Maybe in 2008?

8. the election was stolen
If BBV and electoral fraud was given credence and airtime, there is a ton of gold in these hills. He didnt win an honest election, it was a propped up theft.

10. It just doesnt matter to you guys/gals?
If not, maybe that dimes worth of difference has deflated somewhat.
Keeping Enron in the closet is like a million votes for Bush!
