4. What is your problem?

3. A comedian amongst us

Dollar Bill is awaiting his day in court as is tom delay. I was unaware of right wingers trying to pin false charges against him. Could you elaborate on those charges? I thought right wingers were still looking for WMD, avoiding joining the Army, insisting Ambassador Wilson was a liar, praising bush's incredible military record and practicing larry craigs wide stance. How could they possibly find time to pin false charges on a congressman?

5. I thought,..........

they were accusing Rep Jefferson of illegally using the National Guard

[BOSSHOG]

8. How was he abusing the National Guard?

And what are the specific charges against him pending a trial relative to the use of the National Guard?

[fedupfisherman]

11. Something about him having the NG take hin to his house

during Hurricane Katrina.

So what is wrong with visiting your house??

[BOSSHOG]

12. Not "my" house

The congressman may have commandeered national guard members to escort him to his home to get stuff after the hurricane. Not a noble action, but are they relevant to actual criminal charges filed.

[fedupfisherman]

13. I dunno

The Republicans are sounding like it was a criminal action and of course the right wing media is going along.

7. Trial date is set for January.

10. Thank you

I can assure you I do not want to cause problems and merely want to converse with like minded folks since I live in a largely conservative area.

I will not post anymore about Rep Jefferson. I got the info I need.

Thank you.
