It is my hope that the good folks on this forum will take a critical look into what is being reported here and the supporting links that are provided in support of the claims. If investigations or indictments are underway, I have yet to find them.

Host has been trying to draw our attention to Abramoff and his machinations within our government for quite some time. He has routinely been ridiculed, dismissed, or criticized for multiple links in support of his posts. His topics get summarily merged or locked arbitrarily, in my opinion.
He was RIGHT about Abramoff, long before most of us recognized the name. |
I probably will not be allowed to post during Thanksgiving week because of the comment that I will end this post with, Elphaba, so I'll take this opportunity to wish you and every one else who participates or reads the TFP
politics threads, a happy holiday.
I think that it was a misuse of moderation to disallow a thread that has Abramoff's name in the title...I checked and there are not any titled that way on here. Abramoff is not just another "Bush crony". His name will continue to be regularly in the political headlines, and a signifigant number of people in high places will require pardons because of relationships with him.
I want to talk about the most signifigant current issues, and I want to highlight the most important ones. It's becoming increasingly obvious that I cannot do that without interference here. It's not my place to make the decision whether the interference is necessary or appropriate, but I don't see anyone else's efforts impeded because they contibute too much information on this forum...and I'll leave it at that.
