Ok, the article in the link proves nothing and actually has zero evidence regarding it's assertion that it was all politically motivated. I don't have a dog in this fight, but that article is a totally worthless piece of crap and wasn't worth posting or discussing in the first place.
I get tired of this big gov't crap. If we get a republican prez, I'm sure the big gov talk will go away. both sides suck as far as I'm concerned including the tea party who doesn't have a friggin clue as to what they are talking about. Yawl need to stop listening to talk radio hate and the 24 hr tv news cycle and get a life.
Can I get an amen? When are we all going to realize that 99.9% of all politicians are corrupt...REGARDLESS of party affiliation. It's way past time to throw the tea in the harbor fellas. We need a hacker to reprogram all the drones and target D.C. Now there's a good use for those damn things.

When they commit their follies on each other it's business as usual and we all pay. When they commit constitutional crimes against private citizens you better watch your asses.

I'm so pissed off I could spit nails right now.

Has anyone bothered to pause and consider who wrote this article? Who is behind "Investor's Business Daily"? Someone looking out for the 99%?

Yeah, right...

Amen. Restaurant style was better when it was homestyle but no one remembers home style so now everything is restaurant style even my mother's special lasagne, which tastes like Stoufer's if you ask me.

So, should we forget about the whole because the information was conveyed to us by the wrong people? Maybe we need to throw all of the politicians, both sides, in the harbor instead of tea.

I do not believe the raid on Gibson had anything to do with politics. It had to do with the head of gibson thinking he was above the law. They were repeatedly warned about thier flagrant violation of the lacy act ,yet the head of gibson choose to continue his disregard of the law.
Why have no other builders been raided? Because they have been more compliant with the laws of the land.
I love my Gibsons but the current owner does not conduct business in a way that is in the spirit of cooperation with the public .

As for the source of the referenced article, well consider the source. People who are looking for excuses will always find one.
