As is to be expected, my comment went right over the top of your pointy head.

Actually, no. My comment went right over YOUR pointy little head.

There are a lot of factual distinctions between the two scenarios, and that's what's so hilarious about your claims. There's a world of difference between acts that have been specifically documented and, in fact, admitted (Bush and Co.)

Apparently you think whatever you say is indisputably true. It isn't. Not even close to true. The "factual distinctions" are nothing of the sort. No one in the Bush administration has proffered a plea. Nor will they. No crime has been committed.

This is one of those arguments where someone like you claims it's OK to call someone else a jerk "because it's true". Sorry kid, but that's not going to fly in a courtroom. Grow up.

Everyone -- including the Democrats -- should be brought to account. -- wbgonne

And what in the world makes you think that at this late date, that's going to happen? I'm having fun with Kristen, but in my experience Democrats who have ethical difficulties tend to be promoted, not brought to the bar.

* Repubs texting pages are hounded out of office(Foley), Dems screwing pages get re-elected(Studds)
* Repubs taking money from Abramoff lose office(Ney), Dems taking the same become Senate Majority Leader.(Reid)
* Repubs violating money rules go to jail,(Cunningham) Dems cheating on their taxes and violating same said rules retain the chairmanship of their committees.(Rangell)

On top of all this, the revelation that the big brou-ha-ha at Ashcroft's hospital bed was only about datamining just reinforces my prediction that this is all going to be swept under the rug, as it should be.

That was yet another reason for me to vote for Obama. When Democrats take over, all our trials and tribulations will magically disappear from the national consciousness. The news will be miraculously free of controversy, and the nation can go about the process of digesting Iraq and dealing with deflation.

When it comes to Democrats, however, he can recite crazy, tin-foil hat-level allegations of murder with no sense of irony.It's made especially hilarious since the only thing he generally seems capable of saying is that Democrats are hypocrites.-- UsedtobeKristin

Gosh. If you're willing to denounce those Democrat tactics as foul finger pointing, I'd sure be willing to reconsider MY position. Otherwise, I'm just doing the same thing you are. That's certainly fair don't you think?

As Armando says, "The Democratic members who participated in this meeting have two choices in my mind - refute Cheney's statements or admit their complicity in the illegal activity perpetrated by the Bush Administration." I'm going to spend the day calling these members and trying to get some response to Cheney's claim.

Is he calling from in or out of the US? Will he ever return? Will they be waiting for him? If I had a choice of pissing off Democrats or Republicans, it wouldn't be Democrats. They have ways of disappearing vocal nuisances that make Republicans look like amateurs.

Props to Jebbie and PDA for a principled stand.

Convincing evidence exists that the Bush-Cheney regime has committed genocide and war crimes such as kidnapping and murder, some of which they readily admit.

Over and out. You people deserve each other for the rest of the evening.

Like I said, this isn't about investigation, it's about retribution. It's the revenge of the clueless.

You don't consider that a truth that's self evident? Have you become a strict constructionist to the point where if not specifically mentioned, everything else is illegal or immoral?

Apparently you're of the opinion that the extermination of Americans is not a function of government? Are you nuts? Sorry, dumb question. This is why liberals are marginalized. Only in a place like this would you even consider the thought that political organization is more important than the people.

Meanwhile back at the Constitution you might remember where it says it's to "provide for the common defense" which requires a "commander in chief"? Tsk. This is why you're only a junior dickhead.
