Well, you didn't provide a link, but I don't doubt that it's probably the case. So let's assume - for the sake of your argument - that it's true. The question is, what are you trying to prove by that?

It's not like Enron's accounting scandals occurred because of Bush's policies. You can count the number of months Bush was in office on one hand before irregularities started to show up. And the result of those policies was that the toughest corporate regulations in at least a decade were signed by the President.

Next, it was only natural that Bush, once in energy and in Texas, would know and take donations from - what you say? - an energy firm in Texas! Wow! What a revelation!

And of course, you want me to completely forget about the fact that, of all politically-active corporations, Enron was #1. They didn't just give to Bush - they gave a ton of money across the political spectrum. Depending on how you count the cash, Enron gave 25-40% of its total political contributions to Democrats, including soft-money donations to BOTH the RNC and DNC.

:D .. Actually, since its a bit controversial, you know what I mean. An energy company, where Texas has one of the most polluted cities in the US.. and surprising enough, yes it was Bush who was their governor.. just a link of to the " no wonder why" Bush is so soft on energy corporations, and how this big corporations can get waht they want from a president ( not directly Bush, but presently he is the president, and he's the one sending soft laws to this industries and not been tough on environment issues instead ).. Well, see, Im just one of those people that actually care about the environment, not much of an environmentalist, but at least care.. and well, I remember seen some debates some while ago of wether Enron was a contributor to Bush or not and the links or what not.. and well, this week it was officially said that Enror is the biggest Contributor for Bush's campaigns funds.
