Poll question: Should the GOP Crime Syndicate be pursued under the RICO laws?
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 08:47 PM by benburch
When we finally wrest control of this government from the GOP Crime Syndicate, should we pursue them under the RICO laws for systematic corruption and election fraud?

money laundering, casino boats, off track gambling, state turnpike commission, missing money
