I hope we hold these assholes in power responsible after they are done in 2009. Prosecute them and throw them in jail.

Next time i get pulled over i'm going to ask the cop to wait until i've done my own investigation into how drunk i am. Should take at least 12 hours and 2 cups of coffee.

In the meantime, the suicide pills are busily being distributed to be used on a single day in 2009. Or swords to fall on.

Gotta love it when the criminals themselves hold up the investigation of justice, IMHO.

Yeah, but see, Nixon was pardoned by a handpicked successor. Unless Bush's October Surprise is to have Cheney resign, appoint Rove to replace, resign himself, then have Rove pardon the whole lot, that ain't happening this time.

On the one hand, I agree with you.

On the other: it is also the kind of thinking that the
current people in power use to justify illegal wiretapping.
Its wrong when they do it, so its wrong for us to do it.

I would think, in the end, the tapes were either destroyed
by mistake or as a matter of course. Which, if you think
about it, is actually worse than their willful destruction
to avoid potential prosecution, I think.

A new VP would have to be approved by both houses of Congress. Ford was Nixon's hand-picked successor, but he wasn't picked by Nixon, he was picked by the Democratic Congress as the Republican they liked most.

well, the tapes were destroyed intentionally and willfully and with full knowledge that destruction of those tapes was illegal.

which is way worse, I think.

I see what you mean, and I would agree with you if this were an investigation into their private lives -- but it isn't. If they have done nothing wrong in their professional conduct as a public official, then they should not be afraid of investigation. Of course they HAVE...so they ARE.

They'd just call it a liberal conspiracy and vote for someone even worse next time. People who voted for Bush a second time have proven they are incapable of learning from the past or paying attention to anything but Fox News. They just don't 'get it' and they never will.

People who voted for Bush in 2004 hate America and are terrorists. Yes, it may be tongue in cheek, but looking at what's happened to this country in the past 8 years it's pretty clear that it's not far from the truth.

Some people voted to elect Bush in 2004 because they were afraid Kerry would do something stupid.

Boy, are their faces red!

 
Magruda 2007-12-21 04:01:39 PM  
sasquatchologist: don't think it's so much that they don't "get it." They are simply blind fascists that are more interested in supporting the (R) after the name, than any concept of policy or personality.

I prefer to think of them as cowards who are so afraid of the small possiblility of a terrorist attack thay they have forgoten what it means by "Give me liberty of give me death".

That or they are making money off of the caos that is ensuing.

Thank you, George W. Bush, for virtually ensuring that Americans taken captive in the future, whether civilian or military, will likely be subjected to waterboarding and/or other tortures.

I FULLY acknowledge that the GOP are a bunch of crooks. I also FULLY acknowledge that the Democrats are a bunch of crooks.

Next time, try to read the ENTIRE f*cking statement, sparky.

I did read it, buttmunch. You're usually such a GOP fellator that you'd never ever admit they were crooks, but it sounded like you overlooked what you were admitting in your attempt to divert attention.

"You are accused of robbing a bank. How do you plead?"

"Guilty your honor, but that other guy robbed a different bank!"

That is also because the typical Fark political troll has gotten so stupid that you can never be too sure of their attemped meaning. So there is some confusion, that is all.

Headlines like this one will be looked back on with amusement in 2010 if Hillary gets elected. After nearly a decade of accusing the Bush administration of every crime under the sun, liberals can hardly wait to elect REAL criminals back in to the White House.

Me??? a GOP fellator??? You have GOT to be kidding (or at least confusing me tieh someone else). I have been nothing bus consistent in my distaste for BOTH wings of the Republicrat party.

I've never even voted for a Republican in my life. A few years later I wised up and also no longer vote for Democrats.
