87. I wasn't referring to Kerry
As Phillips noted, the same thing happened after Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker, via their biz association with Harriman--

and not only them, but the Remington family, GE, Ford, ad nauseum (in other words, the people who are getting the big bucks via the inheritance tax issue and the tax cuts)

---were investigated, censured, had assets seized, were considered in violation of the trading with the enemy act, and more in the two-plus decades before the U.S. entered WW2 to fight against a Nazi war machine which was made possible by Americans who illegally helped Hitler to rearm.

Yet, when America entered the war, these things were allowed to slide.

Same as it ever was, as The Talking Heads testified.

When I said Bush Sr. was not held responsible for his crimes, I did not mean by Kerry. I meant by the entire machinary of govt which allows criminals to pretend to be appointed by god to lead America into the worst foreign policy debacles of the twentieth century.

Let them send their kids to die for their bullshit greed and corruption.

Then maybe they'd care about the consequences of these actions.
