Well they might have taken after North American car makers but I don't think they're poisoning our toothpaste in a malicious plot to "overthrow the devil, capitalist, milk-shake swirling pigs of America".

Not exactly, I have to admit, but that could lead to death. But, some of those toys were painted with paint containing lead. That is poison.

Aye, that is poison, but still I highly doubt it was painted as such to kill children.

Oh, please. It's not "quietly going away" as you claim. It is stalling as a result of vigourous administration obstruction in the form of ignoring subpoenas, expansive claims of executive privilege, deliberately vague and evasive testimony, and simple foot-dragging.

Or because the dems never had anything to begin with and would now just like for it to quietly go away in time for their return to power so that they can continue doing exactly the same stuff with no one paying attention. They have been dragging 'suspects' in to iterrogate them over and over again hopeing for a mistatement of somekind so they can scream 'purjury!!!!!' regardless of any bearing on the original trumped up charges. I'm all for what ever investigations the dems want to do. Its their constitutional priviledge. But they are in a position now that they must impeach or admit the charges were never any thing but the most scurilous political which hunt in US history. They have all the constitutional authority they need to get the answers they want. They are not the helpless pawns of an all powerful overlord. If they are, than the problem is a lot bigger than George W. Bush.
Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hyprocrisy is no morality at all.

You are a funny bunny! It is a false claim on your part to suggest that the only resolution of these investigations must be the impeachment of Bush. Illegal wiretaps, the use of the Justice Department for partisan gain or any other administration scandal is not only a constitutional priviledge but absolutely essential to the health of the constitution.

Except that the stained dress really existed and Clinton really did lie to a grand jury about it. I think Ken Starr's investigation was entirely justified and, as I said, I think the current investigations are justified. That is an important congressional responsibility.

No, it's not good (!!!) I don't know if you noticed, but the Hussein clan had a pretty effective system for keeping a bunch of warring religious freaks in line, and Al-Qaeda far away. So knowing what I know now about our retarded president's ability to handle wars, it's plain to see that keeping Saddam in power, tightly contained like he was, would have been the far better option.
Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea. - Mark Twain

The investigations into Clinton's behavior were entirely justified, as are those into that of the Bush administration. However, in the case of Bush, there has not been a single confirmed lie of any kind related to any original charges. Congress has been grilling indiviudals repeatedly until there is somekind of slip of the tounge concerning completely unrelated issues. The dems than yell perjury in order to make people like you happy that they are actually trying to do something. They aren't. If they were any actual crimes committed, and if they really wanted to get to the bottom of any of it, they easily could.

Yeah, you're a real hero, I'm sure. When you get just as upset about the IRS being empowered to freely go through every personal financial record you have any time they wish in obvious flagrant violation of your explicit 4th amendment rights as you are about them listening to you call your grandma, then I'll be impressed. Until then, lets stop the lectures about wire tapping telephones. The word 'telephone' isn't even in the constitution, and just becuase some whacked out leftist judge decided that phone calls should be considered private is no reason to expect the commander in chief to not do everything he possibly can to defend the country. Defending the nation is a much greater constitutional repsonsibility than is defending your fucking phone calls.

And I'll continue to say that is a rediculous charge, unless you are also willing to admit that the office of the president has become too powerful for congress to deal with. You can't have it both ways. Are you saying that congress does not possess adequate power to force answers from the administration or not?

It took Starr over 4 years and $40 million dollars to prove that Clinton cheated on his wife. Why are you in such a rush to judgement now? Are you unwilling to give the democrats the same latitude you gave the Republicans? You've already stated that the current investigations are justified. That must mean that you believe that there is sufficient evidence of unconstitutional/criminal acts by the Bush administration to continue investigation.

So you voluntarily put your voice into a wire that belongs to someone else, beam it into the either, amplify it through relay stations and bounce it off satillites - and you expect that to be private? Good luck with that, pal. Thats like shouting out your window at your neighbor and than complaining becuase someone else heard you.
