The Nation: By Identifying With "Scooter" Libby, Ex-Senator Shows His True Colors

[mudrose-2009]

and if he thinks that The Presidential Pardon is good legal practice then he doesn't seem to understand what justice is. He is a good fit. Hang on tight to your new candiadte Republicans!!!

Rich's crimes included tax evasion, fraud and "trading with the enemy" -- Iran, during the hostage crisis.

Yet, Clinton had no problem pardoning him. So, please, don't throw stones when you people have enough garbage in your own back yards.

Part II
William Jefferson - score 1.

Hillary Clintoid and Whitewater - Yeah that's why McDougal and friends went to jail.

Bill Clintoid and Monica. He got laid. Get over it. Classless, mindless, pig who would rather get off than protect his country. Shows tremendous character and lies in front of the entire nation about it.

Al Gore and the Chad Race (Would you contest an election where the only voting irregularities happened to be in the same state that other candidates brother controls?

Yeah, that's why he counted chads in the Florida districts of his choice until the Supremes told him to stop it.
Part II

Valerie Plame: Where's the scandal here? She had a desk job. Her husband outed her 10 years ago, she recommended him from Niger and lied to the Judiciary Committee that she did not and she made a campaign contribution to Gore's campaign and gave the name of the organization that was a front for her supposed "cover".

But somehow these people always escape media attention. Wonder why? Couldn't be that they are biased when it comes to the Dumnos that lie, cheat, steal, and abandon their responsibilities. They, you see are always above the law.

Part I

Diane Feinstein and Military Contracts.
Made a mint before she was discovered that being on the committee was a conflict of interest.

Harry Reid and his real estate deals.
Whether you make a profit or a loss on a land deal you've got to put that transaction down so the public, voters, can see exactly what kind of money is moving to or from a member of Congress. He didn't. And the deal was very not upfront.

Nancy Pelosi and her husband's real estate deals.
Lucrative contracts for development are being awarded to individuals with significant links to both Pelosi and hubby. It also appears that Nancy was involved in transferring The Presidio from the Army to the city, where it would eventually come under control of the commission with lucrative contracts going to firms staffed by Pelosi confidants, as well as family.

STICK A FORK IN HIM HE IS A REPUBLICAN! THEY COULD NOT GET ELECTED TO DOG CATCHER! EVEN IN SO CALLED RED STATES! AMERICA HAS WISED UP!

[ioweign]

Evidently Fred (Law and Order) didn't learn anything from Watergate - and from some of the postings here a few others are lacking also.

[terrapin78]

Thompson is from the south.

And as we all know, (thanks seven-pesos),

NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM THE SOUTH!

[tejasdemo]

Who in the hell wants to vote for this old gezzer+ anyway ?

[marcodele]

I'll bet they make Jeb Bush Thompson's running mate. Tick Tock Fred! I don't think I'd ride in any convertibles in Dallas.

[Razzl]

"In the faux-conservative circles that define the modern Republican Party, Thompson is more closely associated with the defense of the disgraced White House aide than with any particular stand on the issues facing the nation."

It would seem Republicans are desperate for somebody to rally around, but Thompson is not going to be the one. I really have to wonder what most of these Republican candidates would campaign on after the primaries, given that virtually every position they have on everything runs counter to popular sentiment, but not in a principled way (except for McCain, who seems sincere but confused).

[marcodele]

Diane Feinstein and Military Contracts (what about them?)

Harry Reid and his real estate deals (Yes, sometimes people sell their real estate)

Nancy Pelosi and her husband's real estate deals
(Yes, her husband sold real estate)

William Jefferson - score 1.

Hillary Clintoid and Whitewater (Excuse me? But your friend Ken Starr spent sixty million of your taxpayer dollars and six years trying to find something illegal about a twenty year old Arkansas land deal: NOTHING. But it gets repeated so much to necon lemmings by the hypocrits at Fox, Limbaugh, and Coulter, that eventually the poor neocon lemmnings begin to think there was actually a verdict!!! Too funny!)

Bill Clintoid and Monica. He got laid. Get over it.

Al Gore and the Chad Race (Would you contest an election where the only voting irregularities happened to be in the same state that other candidates brother controls? Did you know there were voting rights violations cited in the congressional investigation? You don't find putting police vehicle safety inspections in front of minority precincts on election day a little suspicious. And by the way, Gore won the popular vote by a large margin, so why shouldn't he contest that rigged election?)

Valerie Plame: Where's the scandal here? Her identity was revealed, her security jeopardized by the Bush Oil Bullies because her husband shined the light on Bush lies for going to war.
Is that a "Valerie" scandal, or did Rush Limbaugh tell you that.

[terrapin78]

The man will die of cancer before the election. I'm betting in Vegas on this.

This far-fetched, grabbing-at-straws article by the liberal Nation magazine indicates one sure thing: Dumbocrats are afraid of Mr. Thompson. This is encouraging.

Ya took the words right outta my mouth. Not only the Dumnos, but the media, too. I hope Bush pardons Scooter.

[infidel_us]

Big deal....all of Clinton's cronies were/are felons. I'm sure that's just alright with you bedwetting, two faced libs, though.

Look at the photo. He looks like the old demon-preacher in Poltergiest who was burning in hell along with his minions while singing the old hymn "God is in His holy place".

"Thompson is preparing to seek the presidency as the standard bearer of the wing of the Republican Party that turns a blind eye to official misconduct." ~Is there any other wing ??

"After Bush, we need someone of integrity, compassion, intelligence, and most importantly, secular."
-Posted by afmca at 02:21 PM : Jun 01, 2007

Uh, hate to tell you this, but secular humanism is a religion. It was recognized as such by the U.S. Supreme Court back in the 1960's. You athiests are just as religious as the Christians, and you wish to impose it on the rest of us - exactly the same accusation you make of the Christians. I guess having a worldview is ok as long as it is YOUR worldview.

Have you no decency sir/madam?

Not when it comes to replacing the Commander in Chimp!

BobEBenson, I teach writing at a local college. A LONG sentence does NOT make it a "run-on" sentence. The punctuation is perfect, and all the subjects and predicates are in the right places.
This English teacher flunks you.
(And, I bet you think the word "Democrat" is an adjective.)
