Well Tweed, you have a right to your opinion, no question about that!

Carol C: I don't think I ever posted a message stating that I was opposed to the U.S. developing alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels. My arguments, as I recall, centered around our ensuring ourselves that we had an ample supply of fossil fuels until these alternative fuels were available. Is that what you are referring to?

Attorney General Ashcroft has recused himself from the Enron investigation BECAUSE he received funds from Enron for his senate campaign. That does not mean that the investigation will not take place and let the chips fall where they may. Also, Enron contributed heavily to Democrats in addition to Republicans and Bush in paticular.

Latest news reports are that the Chairman of Enron approached Secretary of the Treasury, O'Neal last fall hinting that the government might be needed to bail Enron out of what was coming up, and he was turned down flat. So while Enron was a major contributor, the Bush administration did nothing to help them!
