What are you trying to accomplish with this?? Most here agree the recent
SCOTUS ruling is not right. Did bush get a sweetheart deal in texas?
Probably. Is it a sweatheart deal similar to dozens associated with pro
sports across the country? yes. Was this covered in the election in 2000?
Absolutely. Have you guys run out of ammo on bush and need to continue to
resort back to things that happened more than a decade ago? Apparently.

The issue just raised by SCOTUS. Bush made millions on a similar deal.
Are the people who are angry about it sincere now? What changed?

Didn't we cover all of this crap back in 2000 during the election?

Have you really lost all ability to harrangue Bush without bringing up
this sort of stuff?

A more stinging endictment of Mr. Bush is he comes off more often as
a whiney kid who didn't get a lollipop at the fair when people
disagree with him.

The recent Supreme Court decision indicated you all had forgotten it.

I don't know why you'd get that idea, since the decision was roundly
criticized by pretty much everyone in the newsgroup.

Rather, you simply saw an opportunity to try to take yet another
gratuitous slap at Bush. How typical.

I see a small parallel between the SCOTUS decision and the flag
burning issue.

I believe that a person should be able to burn their flag, because
it's their property and they may do anything they wish with it.

The recent SCOTUS decision, in a way, supports the ban on flag
burning because it states that one's property is at some level
at the mercy of government based on the "greater good" principal.
If one made the case that preventing the burning of the flag serves
the "greater good" of the community, what then?

As you know, "property rights" aren't the thing itself. There are lots
of property rights. Eminent domain is one kind of property right. The
recent SC decision didn't make that up.

I KNEW this would come up. Whitewater had illegalities purported. There
are none here. Even dave agrees what bush did was perfectly legal...the
SCOTUS just agreed as well.

Bush was only being scorned tangentially in my original. The point of my
post was the number of people bemoaning the SCOTUS decision who had
conveniently forgotten Bush's land grab. "Oh, a terrible decision, boo
hoo...."

If Bush did or didn't do something similiar has absolutely no impact on
the terrible decision regarding the recent case. Conservatives can be
just as against that decision now regardless of what Bush may or may not
have done in the past. That you think that because Bush may have done it
that it means conservatives HAVE to be for it just shows your blindness.

why is this even considered a Liberal/conservative thing?

it's a WRONG thing from both sides.

liberals will claim it hurts the little guy in terms of being run over
by fat cats and Corporations, Conservatives will argue the same
property angle to keep it from Government.

I agree with you. I'm not sure why Jeff is trying to make it into one,
other than his hate of Chimpy McHitlerburton.
