I would agree on your observations from a functional standpoint, no politics or 
personalities involved.

I would say that in my experience with various factions in our government that 
I found the State Department often played loose and fast with little regard for 
the "rules", if there were any. It was almost always a "do whatever it takes 
and we'll deal with the fallout afterwards" when it was a high visibility or 
high value asset we were doing the work for.  Fortunately, we were not the ones 
who had to deal with fallout, only being the "fixers" in the situation.

That being said, our actions often involved the expenditure of funds that were 
not always warranted. That is, we got paid to clean up someone else's mess 
rather than them holding the responsible party responsible.

2015-08-31 Thread Rich Thomas via Mercedes
The key issue is that the various organs of Justice are dragging their 
feet and stonewalling actually prosecuting these clear violations of the 
law, in whatever degree.  It is seeming too that these willful 
violations could have (quite possibly did) led to the death of the 
Ambassador to Libya and other Americans, and who knows what else, if 
mishandling or disclosure of classified information regarding their 
activities and locations allowed it to be in the possession of the bad 
guys.  That rises to a whole new level of criminality.


Even if that did not happen, just the dereliction of clear duty with 
respect to proper handling of classified information is a total 
disqualification for consideration to any political office, much less 
the presidency.

Her actions, by direct and indirect admission, violate secret and above
security clearance regulations. She seems to fail to believe she will be
held accountable at this time. That belief does not relieve her of being
held responsible, it only momentarily delays her ultimate punishment, what
ever that may be.

Should a real leader take office of POTUS and appoint a real Attorney
General, her account will be settled in a way that should make an example
to others for a long time. I don't believe there is a statue of limitation
on treason, or fraud, or murder. It appears there was an active
participation in all three of those.

Yes.. the wheels are from an 87/88 SEL era Mercedes.

I'm not in love with the polished "bling bling" look, but I did want to
migrate to 15 inch tires. Selection of 14" tires is getting near impossible
to get, but I want to preserve the "Mercedes look" .

I'm actually thinking of bead blasting the polished set and powder coating
them back to "original" .. or selling them, perhaps.. On reflection, I
think I prefer the stock painted look.

Just did a count of Bundt style 14" wheels.. I have 25 of them.. anyone
need some?
Also have a set of 4 Centra 15" wheels, with proper hub caps and bolts.
They have some de- lamination of the crome from the aluminum base of the
rim.. I think they will likely go to scrap.

15" wheels make all the difference in the world as far as ride and handling. My 
LWB W123 had 15" wheels, and it drove very differently than a W123 with 14" 
wheels.

Too bad you don't have a set of 15" bundts. Those things are darned near

Yes, 15" Bundt wheels would be "restoration correct look" for the Coupe.
However, after 3 months of search.. have not turned up even one, much less
a set of 5 [need a matching spare, you know].

So they are as declared " Unobtanium" .. unless I wish to buy new, at
quoted price of $389.00 each, plus shipping..

So.. for now, I will use the 15" SEL 15 slot wheels, which look "Mercedes
enough" for most. If the restore comes out show quality.. I might spring
for the 15" Bundt wheels... although, personally, I prefer the look of the
15 slot wheels.

My thought also Wilton. I got them as part of a "package buy"  and sort of
thought about using them.. but it's to much "bling" for the car.

They ruin the stately elegance of the Coupe for me. So.. I'll sell the
polished set, or bead blast them to take the shine off and powder coat them
to proper finish.
Might put them to use on the 300 SD, come to think of it..

Of all the Mercedes wheels, I find the 15 slot design most pleasing.

The Coupe comes with a full set of Bundt 14" AND late model 5 spoke 16"
wheels as part of the "package"... so I'm presently "up to my armpits in
wheels".

GMann Sez:

Of all the Mercedes wheels, I find the 15 slot design most pleasing.


I like the steel wheels (or better yet, the light alloy wheels like 
my 240D came with) and the hubcaps.  It can be a pain to find a 
replacement hubcap or repaint the centers, but they are very 
attractive on 123 and older.  Plus they make wonderful ice art when 
you drive in frizzle or freezing rain.


I also like the factory alloy wheels, but of them I like the 15 hole the best.

My wife was asking about the classified email stuff over the weekend.  I 
pointed out that when I had a security clearance (only SECRET not SI/TK) 
had I done anything remotely close to what she has done -- brought home 
classified info, emailed info, left info in an unsecured area, copied it 
to unsecured media -- I would be in some federal prison somewhere, 
house, cars, bank account, everything would be gone.  And yet here we 
have a person, who could not have been doing the job correctly without 
the transmission of large amounts of classified info, day in day out, 
admitting to having broken the law (no matter the parsing of words).  It 
is just plainly apparent that this stuff is some very serious criminal 
behavior. And it is highly likely that all this information has fallen 
into the hands of the bad guys, which is treasonous behavior.


I can't stand the woman, but none of that behavior has nothing to do 
with any political view.  It is just practical application of the law 
that applies to anyone with a security clearance and access to 
classified info.  If some low-level staffer in the comms section had 
been doing this, that person would be bunking with "Chelsea" Manning at 
Club Fed right now.  I can understand the politics involved here, but 
that woman should be sitting in a prison cell right now.

Both Bill and Hillary are a text book example of misusing the power of
public office to manipulate, enrich themselves, control, and abuse power
and trust.

Only laying blame on their personal abuse of office, not any political
party affiliation, and only looking at the facts, not speculation, logical
conclusion can be made that ample evidence of a long standing criminal
enterprise has been operated by them working in concert with others.

Politics be damned, holding the vessel of public office does not give free
pass to violate laws.

This video is now on youtube, it runs 1:33 and while long, covers some of
the back story of the Clintons. It has first party interviews [many] with
people who observed illegal activity or participated in illegal activity
with or at the direction of Clintons. If you watch it, draw your own
conclusions.

I am still waiting for my No Bush sign from andrew.  That, along 
with No pillary or No Clinton signs, this sign, and Grant's I'm

He does say democrats at the beginning, but at the very end he mentions
republicans. He could solve that problem by having a bunch of signs made
and selling them.

If anyone other than Hillary had the same history of criminal involvement
in an organized criminal enterprise over the past 40 plus years, all assets
would be seized and RICO charges would be brought, trial would be held, and
imprisonment would follow, for the maximum allowed by law.

Both Bill and Hillary are a text book example of misusing the power of
