You're preaching to the choir. I figger that unless Bush goes with the blanket pardon there may be as many convictions coming out of the present Administration as there were from the Nixon crowd.

for example?
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

I honestly doubt it. This has all been nothing but political gamesmanship from the very beginning. The Democrats know full well that Bush and Co. have not done anything that will stand up in court, and will not pursue charges once they are in power. The consequencies for thier own leadership would be too risky. Only a moron would actually believe that a course of action which has verifiably resulted in reduced terrorism should be brought to trial. But, hey, there is nothing I would love better than for the dems to do so.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

I think they've got as much on Cheney, Libby and Rove as the Republicans had on Clinton. I think there's good reason to believe the blanket pardon route is being discussed in the East Wing. But I hope the Administration isn't worried. They'll do a poorer job of covering their tracks.

Except that we are not talking about blow jobs now. We are talking about national defense. There is a lot more on the line. If the dems win, there will be no reason to take the chance on suddenly finding themselves vulnerable to even more charges of being soft on protecting the nation. If they put the Bush administration of trial for how it has conducted its military efforts, and that is followed by another major terrorist attack, what do they do? If Bush's efforts were responsible for crippling terrorist activities, they won't be able to use them. Public perception is everything.

I don't think we've heard the last of the outing of Valerie Plame.

possibly, but were I the judge I'd throw that out of court. She was a desk bound analyst, not an under cover operative. Hardly worth debating but it will be interesting to watch it play out.

That would have been the argument they should've advanced right away, but instead they appear to have entered into a conspiracy to hide the truth from the special prosecutor (as well as the public, but that's par for the course, regardless of whose in office.)

I certainly agree with that last thought, but along those lines, I think the Dems will be eager, maybe even anxious, to find all the justifications for getting out of Iraq that they can. The more of a stink they can raise about how the war was entered into and/or conducted, the more righteous they can appear in closing it down.

I actually hope you're correct, but I honestly believe most of them are too smart to do that. I'm at the point of being willing to accept harm to my country in order to inflict damage to my real enemy - the left. But then, they have been doing the same thing, so who cares? They have been very successful at obfuscating their true agenda for a long time now, but if they want to voluntarily end the farce, thats fine by me.

Fine by me. There is nothing I want more than for the democrat party to take responsibility for rendering the commaner in chief impotent to defend the nation.

On top on not being a covert agent ... i.e. THERE WAS NO CRIME ... she was "outed" by anti-Bush people (including her own self and her husband) ... and this was known from the beginning by the Special Prosecuror.

Excellent. 'bout damn time. BTW, the reason it was buried is because, once again, the media is trying to protect the democrats. They well know that an overt leftist attack on the commander in chief that results in no convictions of any kind (because nothing wrong was done) would not only expose them for what they really are, but it would also cripple any future democrat president who needs to do exactly the same thing. Your usefullness to your party is already at an end. You are now an unnecessary leftist dupe. They are now going to do evreything they can to pretend that wackos like you don't exist.

:laugh: :laugh: You really are delusional. The press doesn't report Kucinich to protect the democrats. The press was/is the "deferential, complicit enablers" of Bush administration "propaganda," in support of the war to give Democrats cover for their earlier support of the war. You really believe that, and I pity you for it. You really have become the marxist you profess to hate. X|

Somehow this got buried by the *cough* liberal media *cough* Kucinich brings impeachment charges against Bush[^] Very little coverage, interesting turn of events. I still haven't seen or heard any followup.
