Just because Ted Stevens was convicted by less than honorable prosecutors doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as hell -- and everyone knows he was and is. Why do you say that? Last I heard guilt is determined by evidence and a verdict. The feds withheld exculpatory evidence. I don't like Stevens, but he seems no different than most of the pols. Which is why I don't like him. If the feds had a good case, they'd prosecute. You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed this up so it could be overturned later. More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk. --Vic |

When the prosecutors withhold evidence you can only conclude that the either the prosecutors are idiots or that they were afraid the withheld evidence would have sunk their case. Prosecutors' job is to seek the truth, not to gain a conviction. You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed this up so it could be overturned later. More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk. Agreed but worth a moment of fantasy. Wouldn't be the first time prosecutors screwed things up on purpose. Nobody is perfect. |

Uncle Ted was on the take in a big way. That he's no different than other pols isn't a defense against prosecution or conviction. Charges are not convictions. What charges and evidence brought forward were damning and conclusive. I don't know what was withheld or what effect it may have on the case but it was clear he was caught red handed. When the prosecutors withhold evidence you can only conclude that the either the prosecutors are idiots or that they were afraid the withheld evidence would have sunk their case. Prosecutors' job is to seek the truth, not to gain a conviction. You've got to be kidding. Justice Department officials and Republican politicians specifically asked Republican appointed prosecutors to try cases against Democrats in front of elections as a tool to supress support. How many refused and how many complied? You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed this up so it could be overturned later. More twilight zone stuff. Tsk tsk. Agreed but worth a moment of fantasy. Wouldn't be the first time prosecutors screwed things up on purpose. Nobody is perfect. You mean Republican prosecutors in Alaska prosecuting a senior Republican senator from Alaska aren't perfect. |

It won't be long now with our freedom being stripped every day.. Have you heard about samhsa.gov? Ever see the movie "Videodrome"? They were taking over through the TV sets. Melted your brains, basically. I suspect that site you posted is the internet version, so I won't go there until I make my hat. Out of aluminum foil now. The only answer I see is the Tea Parties. But I just heard Neil Cavuto on Fox saying the Tea Parties are being infiltrated. By Acorn. Things are going to hell in a hand basket real fast. Time to buy more guns and stock up on ammo. Maybe food too. Ever see the movie "Tremors"? Burt Gummer saved the day with his armory. Blew them worms clear back to hell. Reba McEntrye played his wife, Heather. That .50 cal was a mean piece, but Reba had a sweet matched set of 38's. But that could be an exaggeration. Good flick. --Vic You are a funny man. Just because Ted Stevens was convicted by less than honorable prosecutors doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as hell -- and everyone knows he was and is. So justice is no longer blind? You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed this up so it could be overturned later. Career prosecutors (aka Democrats). They were Republican appointees, certainly not Democrats. |

Of course it would not be the first time he was found to be making things up as he went along snerk... He comes around every once in a while when a gun jumps up off the shelf and kills some people all by its inanimate self. He is a fun to bitch slap for a few days and then he leaves. I'll come around one year and find that one of you idiots has gone bezerk and shot up his former employer or killed your wife. I'm happily watching your chosen party shrink into a ball of quivering goo while a real man with a brain leads us back out of the woods. The **** you support is backwoods, backwards and just plain ****in' stupid. Your kind is on the decline, thank God. Until then, this is the easiest place to find relics like you and spit in your faces. Sweet dreams. |
