hmmm....I think he addresses that, "In both scandals, some Democrats were involved, but the power centers of misbehavior were Republican."

Wow!

>>>In retrospect, it's unclear whether the Bush dynasty built Enron or vice versa. In 1985, when Enron was formed, the Bushes were an important political family. George Bush, as vice president, headed the Reagan administration's task force on energy policy. But in terms of Texas oil money and stature, the Bushes were third echelon. When George W. ran for governor of Texas in 1994, Ann Richards, the Democratic incumbent, joked that of the oil companies he had started or been involved with, none had made a profit. Enron's rise, with the Bush family's help, in the 1990s rearranged the energy power structure in Texas and the nation, and put the Bush entourage in clover. The question now is whether what went up together will come down together.<<<<


>>>Indeed, the Bush family has been a prominent and well-rewarded rung in Enron's climb to national political influence.<<<


Read the link. Very telling in the plan many of us knew was going down.

jahawkin,

He left out the india/enron power deal that clinton helped get done. And yes there was nice contribution after it got done.

He also fails to point out that while govenor of Texas, Bush had a Democratic lead legislative body. This is far from being just a Bush/republican thing which the tone of the article indicates.

The article is full of hopes, wishes and accusations, while falling very short on facts.

>>>while falling very short on facts. <<<

Oh yea? Then why don't you show us how wrong his FACTS are?

Or are you just another rube of the republican party spinning your opinion as being more worthy than this story?

If you notice, I mentioned enron had significant political dealings with BOTH parties.
