Original article: Why David Vitter matters

Gary

The first page of comments was all about the Clinton/Vitter link, my point was that all three of these people did something they should not have, the difference is how they dealt with the issue. We all remember "what the meaning is 'is' is", we all know that Libby will never admit he did anything wrong or tell the truth about what happened. Both of the denied wrongdoing in the face of evidence (Scooters conviction and the stain on Monica’s dress). Vitter at least admitted what he did. Considering what he said about Clinton being morally unfit, he should resign, but I think it matters that he told the truth. We have all done things we shouldn't have;,the difference is how we handle the fallout.

My computer is having a few problems today, so I will be missing a few letters here and there.

"Well I know that half of you here believe that, hell half of you believe JFK is living in the secret moonbase with Tupac."

I thought it was Jimmy Hoffa and Evlis up there.

Original article: The Iraq war is lost

This is gonna sound bizare but

Nonpartizan

I have had similar thoughts. I too beleive actions speak louder than words, if we were in that much danger from terrorists, why didn't we seal the borders in december of 01.

The idea that "we fight them there so we don't have to fight them here", makes sence....in a conventional war, but not the one were in. The Oaklahoma City bombing only took 2 people.

Lets get real folks

"Holy moly Martha, half of you believe Elvis and Space Aliens assassinated JFK so I guess you'll believe this too."

We all know that Elvis was an alien.

Fight fire with fire

Bush dosen't live in reality but his opponents in congress do, that put them at a serious didadvantage. When Petraus goes to congress and paints a super rosy picture of the situation and the Iraqi units, the dems should say

How many Iraqi batalions?

The situation is how good?

VICTORY

Lets give the president a pat on the back, bring the troops home and give victory parades.

Honestly

we are never going to pay back our national debt because the government is just going to keep spending no matter what happens, so I don't actually think the cost is all that relavant.

We have turned the corner....

again, again and again...but we keep making left turns.

Yea, tell it, make those pinkos eat it because Saddam said he didn't have any weapons of mass destruction and...and...never mind.

You have got to be kidding me

"To all of the people crying for a third party, that idea is ill conceived and intolerant"

Our constitution was writen by people that did not think we should have any political parties, thats why the vice president was originally the second place candidate. One more thing, these two parties are giving us a choice between continueing or expanding the war, and socalized medicine, I don't like eather option so I would love to see a third party movement. Considering how much this president has done to our image, or millitary and our contsitution, I would love a "do nothing" government.

Original article: John Yoo -- then and now

Glenn

I agree with much of what you write, but as a lawyer you know that lawyers defend their client. They may have to argue different sides of the same issue over time, but that is their job.
