Nixon wins that metric, but Reagan had his share. However, if you use that metric, the best president in modern times was GW Bush, with zero convictions from the Cabinet or key staff. So far the economic distraction has served to stall any prosecutorial activity against the former criminal regime of the Bushco gang. Without reason to think otherwise, I suspect the reason has more to do with a lack of actionable evidence. Criminal courts still run on a beyond-reasonable-doubt standard, and it is highly unlikely that anything related to the decisioning around the Iraqi invasion would meet that standard. JG I'm guessing you dislike that fact. I doubt anyone is thrilled by Bush's residue, except maybe the heavily moneyed sorts that are able to finesse those bailout ransoms the taxpayers are being hit with. |

I've a feeling that someday, the criminal regime of the Obamaco gang will provide much fodder for discussion here! |

Whatever floats your boat. I support free markets and getting the government the hell out of the way. Hartmann doesn't. JG "...Greenspan, 82, acknowledged under questioning that he had made a “mistake” in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest, would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and institutions. Greenspan called that “a flaw in the model ... that defines how the world works.”... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27335454/ So much for what you support. |

Wrong, Bucko. ....In almost every case, the socialist movement has been divided along authoritarian, and libertarian lines. The anarchists on the libertarian side, and the Jacobins, Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, and reformist state-socialists on the authoritarian side. (And liberals more or less split down the middle.)... http://flag.blackened.net/liberty/libsoc.html |
