Deep thought

Exposing corruption and fraud is an awesome idea, just don’t expose it while you hind behind stated motives we all know aren’t true and representative of the people doing the exposing.

    You mustn’t say anything because the people behind this kind of stuff have really good intentions, and that’s all that matters. Outcomes are for suckers.

    Personally I do not care what vested interest any scumbag pol has for rooting out corruption, it should get exposed.

    It is a really sad statement on partisan politics that anyone could be offended by someone rooting out corruption, whatever the motive.

    Keep the swine on their toes. If a scumbag pol is influence peddling, abusing power, or doing anything else unethical with the tax money and responsibilities granted to them by us (the taxpayer) they should be exposed. Period.

    I could not give a shit if if is a bunch of republicans with an axe to grind doing it purely for the sake of political vendetta. Ditto dems doing it to the reps.

    What the fuck is wrong with the world when robbing from people and abuse of power should not be exposed by people who are not pure of motivation – I don’t care! If Democrats and Republicans spent a little less time crafting talking points and ad-homonym attacks and spent more time exposing each other we would all be better off.

    it’s sort of like the Gotti family ratting out the Gambino family. I get NB’s point. Who cares as long as we point out the corruption

    right?

    Given how Ruth Ann left the state in the hands of complete idiot Democrat cronies, I would not care if Ted Bundy was offering to root out corruption in exchange for overnight dates.

    If only Del Dem would round up his own!

    $100 Million Payday Poses Problem for Pay Czar

    Yahoo ^ | 8/3/2009 | Staff
    In a few weeks, the Treasury Department’s czar of executive pay will have to answer this $100 million question: Should Andrew J. Hall get his bonus? Mr. Hall, the 58-year-old head of Phibro, a small commodities trading firm in Westport, Conn., is due for a nine-figure payday, his cut of profits from a characteristically aggressive year of bets in the oil market. There is little doubt that Mr. Hall is owed the money under his contract. The problem is that his contract is with Citigroup, which was saved with roughly $45 billion in taxpayer aid.
