As part of the trial in Alexandria, five of LaRouche's associates were also found guilty. His chief fund-raiser, William Wertz, was convicted on ten mail fraud counts. LaRouche's legal adviser and treasurer, Edward Spannaus, along with fundraising operatives Dennis Small, Paul Greenberg, Michael Billington, and Joyce Rubinstein, were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Wertz and Spannaus were sentenced to five years imprisonment each, with Spannaus serving a total of two and a half years until his release from custody. Both were fined $10,000.

Did they forget the idiot before him for 8 years who ran the country into the ground? You can't fix that in a couple years. I don't get on the "Obama is bad we must get rid of him" band wagon and I don't jump on the other one where they love him. I do not like or dislike him. What do you expect him to do in two years? I mean seriously.

He's only been in office for 2 full years (Jan 20, 2009-present).
Bush had 8 years to destroy this country.
Get it right.
You people make me sick.
You have no patience and somehow, you live in a world where one man can magically fix the mistakes of another man.

That last sentence is pretty racist.
I have yet to see proof that Obama has left this country in a worse shape than Bush.

If government is the problem, WHAT is the solution?
Anarchy?
You cannot sustain a large population without a governmental structure in place.
Small government does not work when you have an aging population and a broken working class.

So, it was perfectly fine for Bush, Cheney and Powell to lie their asses off in order to get us involved in Iraq?
