    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.

      sounds like American politics, except this tiime the morons Dems are the noisy ones. Of course they could actually do something, but then again, they're morons Dems so all they know how to do is throw temper tantrums..

              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.

                But, how good is it for the country? Btw, I find it very kind of Americans to have spent hundred of billions of dollars to free up the Iraqi people. Very nice of you.

                  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.

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.

Especially considering the possiblity that lives might be saved by doing it.)

                          The fact that Saddam is no longer with us --- that's not good??? And that both of his butchering sons are also dead --- that's not good??? :confused::confused::confused:

                          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.

He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea. - Mark Twain

                            I heard that some in San Fransico were so upset they were actually sewing their dicks back on in protest. Of course they're still limp.

                              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.

Defending the nation is a much greater constitutional repsonsibility than is defending your fucking phone calls.

                                  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.

Are you refusing to pay your taxes? Are you living a life a barter to avoid the IRS entirely? A number of "leftists" did that during the Vietnam era. Are you as heroic as a "leftist", Stan?

                                      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.

                                        I doubt it's a freaked out leftist judge that made such a decision. How about an individuals right to privacy, period. Your analogy of conversations you have in public being available for others to hear very conveniently excludes conversations you have in private, behind closed doors. Should be all also be privy to those?

                                        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.

                                        Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hyprocrisy is no morality at all.

                                        Yes, just as if I send somebody an email, from my private email account, and it gets sent to a mail server owned by somebody else, to be relayed across the internet, possibly also bounced of satellites, I expect it to remain private. I realise it is too much to rest assured that it will be private however. If it isn't, I will expect to be able to invoke MY constitutional right to privacy of communications.

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.

                                          You want to see heroic behavior. So where is your heroic behavior? All I see from you is complete willingness to give up the Bill of Rights in its entirety. Are you refusing to pay your taxes? Are you living a life a barter to avoid the IRS entirely? A number of "leftists" did that during the Vietnam era. Are you as heroic as a "leftist", Stan?

                                          I have no clue what your point is. Are you saying that Clinton should not have been investigated? That public officials should be allowed to have unfettered sex with subordinate public employees and thats just ok? I think that the congress is responsible for oversight, if the dems believe that Bush has done something wrong, they should be investigating him as they are. But the onus of actually finding somthing is on them. Not on Bush and not on me. At least Ken Starr found the stained dress, that was his job. If the dems cannot do likewise than they have to publically admit that they were wrong all along and apologize. If they do find that Bush did something illegal while exercising his duties as commander in chief, then the dems must impeach him for doing so. After that, the AMerican people must decide which side is most willing to defend them from being murdered by terrorists and which side is most willing to protect their right to call their grandma. Good luck with all of that going into the next election. A brilliant plan on your part I must say.

                                          I never claimed I was a hero. I freely admit that I am willing to give up rights in order to be protected. I simply will not entertain lectures from hypocrits such as yourself who do precisely the same thing until it is convenient to pretend otherwise for political gain.
