Are you referring to some of our...ahem...newer "seminar posters?"

I know that Enron was financially irresponsible, but who didn't expect them to profit in 2001 and into the future? We buy stock based on potential for growth. Most Americans want more energy independence. It was one of the reasons we elected George W. Bush after the CA. energy mess and the Clinton/Gore years of closing off our largest clean coal reserves, selling off our California naval reserves to the petroleum co. ...mucho stocks owned by Gore, Clinton's last-minute EO making ANWR off limits to our new President....the EPA's tougher regulations resulting in the closing of refineries, energy companies.

Most Americans know how important our remaining energy companies are. Enron should have been a sure thing. The people wanted to drill at ANWR. The House passed the energy bill allowing for further exploration. The President campaigned, rallied, sent his requests to the House and Senate...Daschle's own Dem. majority energy committee wanted the energy bill to come to the floor. The Senate had the votes to pass it. What more does it take than the attack on 9-11 to illustrate the danger of our dependence on anti-American nations for our energy needs?

Enron should have been a sure thing.

Daschle, in spite of the President, the House, the Senate, the Will of the People, the citizens of Alaska, the Unions, Seniors, Hispanics...chose the even more powerful enviral lobby and pulled the bill off the floor completely. Anderson pulls out of Enron. Enron calls for bankruptcy.

Daschle, Gephardt and Gray Davis pay a Dec. 3rd weekend visit to Fox in Mexico. Fox starts the new year by stating that he's joining OPEC in cutting oil production. Partisan politics at its most dangerous.

We still need every American energy company to handle our needs. Could it be that Daschle, Gephardt and Davis are hoping that the private sector fails and that their personal (and party) power will be assured if the government is forced to step in and "rescue" the energy industry?

Enron was irresponsible, but Daschle most definitely pulled the plug on Enron, ANWR and our national security. The press RATs have been guarding the pol RATs, but Americans are not buying the lies. We are at war.

The problem as I see it is that there are issues the media will run with which really do look bad for Bush. Ken lay spent the night in the Lincoln bedroom with Bush as president. Lay was throwing his political weight around Government agencies, not that he influenced anyone, but it looks bad considering the support he's given Bush. Bush needs to start acting as if he never respected Lay or that Lay never influenced him.
