The numbered points are "issues". It's my "belief" that the neocon movement is a covert arm of the corporate elite. Altho I am prepared to defend that belief with an organized argument. ;-}
As for Martha, I think she got off just as easy as the wealthy always do in our corrupt judiciary. If you or I stole $50k we'd be in jail a lot longer, and not in a nice jail either.
But corporate crime is the single largest parasite on the economic health of this country, and all the other coprorate criminals are getting slaps on the wrist. Neither party is willing to stand up to this consistent pattern of fraud and theft and mismanagement of public capital, but I see the republicans as being especially subserviant to corporate interests.
As for the alaskan oil reserves, see my point on selling the common resources at pennies on the dollar. That oil is our energy retirement account, and to sell it off early at a fraction of it's potential value to make a few companies rich is an economic obscenity and a criminal act against the american people.
(I could insert a long argument about oil companies and their crimes, consider it implied...)
It's a fraud argument, this alaskan oil thing. It's only brought up because of the political power of the oil companies. We need a new energy vision, let's hold off taking that oil until we really need it, it's the only conservative and sensible thing to do with it.
The neocons are not conservative, they are the very antithesis of conservative.
