Guest MikeSC Report post Posted July 8, 2004 My point was that your friends can EASILY do things you don't like or approve of. Apparently, that doesn't happen in your happy fantasyland. If I had a friend that ripped off hundreds of people and covered it up to line his own pockets with Cash, I don't think I could EVER call that person a friend again. And as far "my assinine" comments, so far in that thread you seem to be the only one that has expressed that opinion, so drop the "anyone who" Good lord, I'm speaking for people who think. Jesus, haven't your asinine conspiracy theories been debunked ENOUGH? So a few yahoos on a wrestling message board still believe them --- that PROVES something? We discussed this same crap YEARS ago --- and it was laughed at back then, too. That you put ANY stock in this only shows how intellectually deficient the left has become. I have a family friend who's a doctor. Been a terrific guy to my family and me for years. Even helped me get into college. He recently lost his medical license because he was giving out prescriptions to people simply for money. I'm supposed to disavow him as a friend because of that? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also don't believe what he did was nearly on the level of Kenneth Lay. Secondly, you haven't done anything to debunk any theory besides say, "omg that is so stupid, I don't believe it" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 wait.. Lay was a friend of Bush's? I could have sworn he supported Ann Richards. "First of all, Ken Lay is a supporter, and I got to know Ken Lay when he was a head of the -- what they call the Governor's Business Council in Texas. He was a supporter of Ann Richards (former Texas governor) in my run against her in 1994, and she named him head of the Governor's Business Council and I decided to leave him in place, for the sake of continuity. And that's when I first got to know Ken and worked with Ken, and he supported my candidacy..." In a video of an October 2000 meeting of Enron employees, Lay stated "I strongly supported Bush when he ran for governor of Texas both times." In fact, Bush sent Lay a letter in 1997 in which he referred to Lay as one of his "old friends." What about Bush's claim that Lay had supported Ann Richards, former Texas governor? Lay and his wife contributed $12,500 to Richards. They gave $47,500 to Bush and Enron's political action committee gave Bush $146,500 (the PAC gave Richards $19,500). (a bit deceptive, eh?)

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 I want to mention it's the people who think that Bush has done nothing wrong that very first mentioned the connection between him and Lay. I also want to say that I'm tired of hearing about who Lay is friends with. He's good buddies with George W. He's a golfing buddy with Bubba Bill. Either leave it at that or both sides run these facts into the ground against each other, but I don't care to be a part of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
