The revelations of mcclellan, whether by accident or by intent, should demand a prompt and thorough investigation of plamegate by the new AG provided he knows what treason is and doesn't need Bush's permission as apparently he needed when questioned about torture at the senate confirmation hearings.
It is also apparent that we as enablers have allowed bush and cheney too much leeway when it comes to foreign policy and the operaton of a war. It was gratifying to hear that congress has finally stood up to our own dictator and tsar and stopped him from continuing this reprehensible war by limiting the funding of same.
like watching a bad disney movie and the 7 dwarfs. is this what the rethuglicans hope to nominate in a presidential election?
there was dopey romney, probably the biggest switch hitter and flip flopper since a-rod. grumpy hunter who would arm the entire united states with uzi's just after he builds an 800 mile fence to keep all americans in so we could play paint ball with real bullets. sleepy thompson who came onto the stage with head bowed and shaking off the nappies from his beauty rest. thank god his wife was there for the cameras to go to because looking at this guy is like looking at the world's oldest man ever. sneezy ron paul gets more spacey as each debate goes on. happy huckabee because his numbers are polling real high but i can just see those 'value voters' painting his halo on the guys head from now on as he looks to be the 'god' candidate.
not one of the 3 remaining so called contenders deserves a dwarf name. mccain is 'the' clone of bush as relates to foreign policy concerning Iraq and any other country who happens to be muslim. he would have us war with iraq, afghan, syria, palestine all at once. his strong stand against torture shows his passion and too bad he can't muster up that type of emotion in any other area. he almost got close with immigration. tancredo? who is he and why is he still in this race?
and last but not least is our two bit three time married italian who stills thinks his grandstanding of 9/11 and speech making on that day entitles him to be godfather almighty of the US. i still want explanations on why kerik was named police chief after the big G was told kerik had ties to organized crime and why he was recommended to bush for homeland security head man. i also want to know if kerik is telling the truth that guiliani and his wanna bes actually kissed kerik, godfather style, when he was named chief corrections officer back in the good old days at gracie mansion as a show of loyalty to giuliani.
3 times married, pro abortion, pro gay, hated by the ny fire dept, a flip flop on baseball teams (no nyer ever, ever would root for the red sox EVER), now we have expenses to explain. i sincerely believe biden. all g is..is a noun, a verb, and 9/11.
"Give to the wealthy for they will create the economy" and so our God Bush gave and gave. Tax cuts in the trillions for 7% of the wealthiest Americans, research money for gas companies, bankruptcy legislation for credit card firms, a medicare drug plan for the pharma companies, triple digit growth for military related companies and a good old fashion unilateral war to keep this engine growing while the rich created new industries like sub-prime cheap loans that they sold back to the uninformed boobs as funds.
We now have a twice as big government, $10T in national debt, cheap money, high mortgage loans, and a deficit which will grow to $650B for fiscal year 2009-2010 with a trade imbalance of almost another trillion and what does our dancing president worry about?
Immunity for who and here America...$600 bucks for shopping. $600 bucks can't pay the gas bill for a working couple for two months.
And the fed runs to the rescue of the very banks who created the sub-prime mess to begin with and set a precedent as each one of us will pay for every investor who lost dollar one with the "Bear", Sterns that is.
This is the worst financial disaster in the history of America and it will take years to unravel and fix. Yet another plan gone up in smoke on this anniversary of the worst foreign policy mistake of any sitting president. Hey..let's out another CIA agent and worry more about Obama's pastor than impeaching a prewsident.
Who does anyone think they're kidding that the race card would not have been an issue as soon as a black person joined the race? American's are hypocrites. They came out of the booth and said race didn't persuade them at all but in that booth the thoughts were a white woman and a black man. It didn't surprise me that Clinton threw it up during her campaign. It's her only hope and with WV, the least progressive state in America sitting on huge reserves of coal, it worked. My god, they went for the gas tax pander hook, line, and sinker. Look at your own polls.
And why are we still talking about Obama's pastor? That's a dead horse. McCain's catholic hating spiritual guide is still out there sputtering his anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-catholic rhetoric.
Clinton has 9 lives. She's from Scranton, she has a GED, she never graduated college, she drinks shots, she was in Iraq during Bush 41 dodging bullets, she's a single mom, drops her 'g's, she's white, and the men and media are picking on her. Meanwhile she hasn't pumped gas since the 80s and she could care less if she's in the hole $20M.
Clinton is history as the nominee and a continuation of her mouth will lose her senate majority leader and a host of other potential positions.
