PLEDGE, DELAY, FRIST ALL UNDER ATTACK-LOOK AT CORZINE THE SENATOR OF NJ AND HOW HE BOUGHT HIS SEAT-TRAVIS CO DA OF TEXAS IS A DEMOCRAT HACK!

Crying Eagle with blazing towers of 911, oh how the United States is in turmoil over money and power and religion.










Corzine, Senator (D) NJ spent Millions (see below to get elected to US Senate). Bill Frist (R) US Senate TN (hopefull Presidential candidate? for 2008) and last photo US House Rep (R) TX is Tom Delay.

My first reference to the Pledge is our Pledge of Allegiance with "one nation under God" that is under attack.

Bill Frist is under fire for selling HCA stocks before they sold off, even though he had been criticized for these holdings that his family is involved in because he was instrumental in Medicare payments for prescriptions, etc... Bill Frist is also a doctor, so now Democrats are pushing for him to be charged with insider trading.

Tom Delay, US House Majority Leader, has been charged on an indictment, as Mr. Delay's involvement of Texas house legislatures being elected. Delay accuses Earle of "blantant political partisanship... this is a charge that can't hold up under scrutiny."

IT’S NOT THE ‘TIME’ FOR SENATOR CORZINE
New Jersey’s U.S. Senator Jon Corzine spent $63 million to buy his seat in the United States Congress.
Now, the super-wealthy Corzine wants to be Governor of New Jersey, the next step in his bid to become President of the United States.
Big Ego. Big Bucks.
Corzine, worth around $300 million, made his money as chairman of Goldman Sachs brokerage firm on Wall Street.
How much will Corzine spend to succeed James McGreevey, who was forced to step down as Governor last summer after he announced he was a “gay American” who was married twice, producing a daughter from each marriage?
New Jersey voters were fooled by his double lifestyle.
Corzine calls himself a “reformer.” He wants to reform New Jersey’s corrupt political system, both Democrats and Republicans.
What Corzine really wants to do is buy the corrupt political machine in New Jersey with his mega-millions.
Over the past five years, this Wall Street wizard spent $5 million to buy the state’s political leadership. More than $1 million went to the state’s two most powerful party bosses – George E. Norcross III and John A. Lynch Jr. Another $37,000 went to a PAC (Political Action Committee) run by a wealthy Bergen County businessman who recently filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of “pay-to-play,” the practice of receiving no-bid government contracts in exchange for making campaign contributions.
Hypocritically, Corzine has been criticizing the corrupt “pay-to-play” political game, while also vowing to ban it if he were to become governor.
Sounds like another Democrat politician, Senator John Kerry, who said he “voted for the war (Iraq) before he voted against it.”
The John and Jon Democrat senators can’t have it both ways!
Corzine was chairman of the National Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2004 for his skills as a fund-raiser. He flew around the country asking for money from rich campaign contributors and special-interest groups.
As a candidate for Governor, Corzine has pledged to spend as much of his own money as necessary to win. And that’s a ‘lotta’ money.
There’s something ethically and morally wrong in buying an election at any level of government. But Americans love freedom and they’re willing to overlook the super-rich who buy their way into public office.
Look at the multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg, New York City’s mayor who was a liberal Democrat and voted for Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton and then switched parties to become a Republican, spending $80 million to occupy the mayor’s office of the world’s most powerful city – the Big Apple.
I personally do not trust those who can switch parties and buy their way into office, or those like multi-billionaire Ross Perot who can run for President twice, making it possible to elect and then re-elect Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.
Had it not been for Perot, Clinton would not be in the White House with only 42.9 percent of the vote in 1992, and barely 49 percent in 1996. Both times, Clinton was not a majority-elected President.
Hey, if Governor McGreevey could fool New Jersey voters about his real identity, Jon Corzine can fool the voters by pretending he is a reformer who will clean up corruption in state government.
If you believe that, I’ve got some swampland in South Jersey you can buy real cheap.
