First, GOPUSA has obtained a copy of the "Carville memo" which was first reported on Fox News last week. Now available online, GOPUSA analyzes this memo, and shows how this is simply a desperate attempt by Democrat operatives to make a scandal where none exists. Next, GOPUSA gives you information on Enron and the Democrats as reported by Bob Webster, the editor of OpinioNet.com. Finally, you'll get the perspective from one of our most popular GOPUSA columnists, Carol Devine-Molin. ** New State Editors GOPUSA is proud to welcome our newest state editors to the team.

In my State of the Union address, I committed our nation to three great goals: To win the war, to secure our homeland, and to defeat the recession. In recent days, we have heard some encouraging reports on our progress and our work to defeat the recession. But many workers have lost their jobs and their retirement savings when their companies went bankrupt. Employees who have worked hard and saved all their lives should not have to risk losing everything if their company fails. So my administration is proposing important safeguards to our pension laws to protect the retirement savings of workers.

Their weapon? Enron. The memo, simplistically entitled ''Enron,'' is represented as the collective analytical work of Carville, Greenberg, and Shrum. The memo's goal is clear: ''Enron has the potential to shape the entire political environment for 2002, impact other issues and reduce confidence in the Bush Administration and Republicans.'' The survey, however, tells a much different story than the Democracy Corps analysis suggests.

After all, Bush was governor of Texas, Cheney recently lived in Texas, both Bush and Cheney have had business ties to the Texas energy industry, and Enron was a Texas energy company. What better scenario for casting aspersions in a fishing expedition in search of official misconduct? This "too good to be true" scenario was pounced on by David Callaway, executive editor of CBS.MarketWatch.com in a smarmy little bit of wishful thinking titled: Enron is not Bush's Whitewater - It will be worse. Read more at http://gopusa.com/opinion/bw_0204.shtml ======================================================================== Enron's Corrupt Corporate Culture: A Call For Justice By Carol Devine-Molin Amid significant controversy and emerging ire, the bankruptcy of corporate giant Enron is now resounding throughout this nation. Enron's top management, in conjunction with their auditing firm Arthur Anderson, conspired to commit fraudulent activities by systematically hiding their company's losses and declining profitability. In effect, Enron's stock prices were bolstered through deceptive machinations, a notable affront to our free market arena and capitalism. Apparently, "creative bookkeeping" and byzantine methods were utilized by an ostensibly reputable auditing firm, Arthur Anderson, on behalf of their client, Enron.

We're a nation of resolve. We're a nation that can't be cowed by evildoers. I've never had more faith in America than I have right now." -- George W. Bush September 16, 2001 Vist BushCountry.org today! http://www.bushcountry.org ======================================================================== What a Difference a Year Makes By Gregg Bish What a difference a day (or a year) makes. Just a year ago, during the first days of his administration, the newly sworn President Bush was being roasted as "illegitimate", "incapable", "verbally challenged", and a host of other epithets pointedly suggesting that President Bush lacked the "gravitas" to be a president -- OR a governor, for that matter.

By SARTRE The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act of 1970 and the Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (PATRIOT) Act of 2001 may go down in the record books as two of the most notorious laws in U.S. History. Both were passed by Congress in order to address the perceived nationwide crises of their respective times -- the former in an effort to crack down on organized crime and the latter in an attempt to protect America from the threat of terrorism. But are these laws solving our immediate problems or simply creating new ones?

It had defects -- forced segregation based on race, skin color or national origin was a huge defect. The desegregation effort was mishandled and its outcome has been unfortunate, because now we have much reverse segregation and the total dilution of American culture.

She would always promise to properly hold the football for Charlie Brown to kick and then just as he put all he had into a running kick she would pull the ball away sending poor Charlie Brown flying into the air and landing embarrassingly on his back. No matter how many times Lucy reneged on her promises, Charlie Brown would always believe her sincerity and take one more run at the ball. This story clearly illustrates the relationship between the Republican Party and much of the establishment press here in California. Allow me to share my experience this morning as an example.
