RandalDS is not pro immigration because Bush is also. He isn't against the Iraq War,torture and endless detention of prisoners, or violating the Constitution because Bush is for them either.
Those of us who bash Bush when he acts like a criminal have no problem supporting him when doing so is the right thing to do.
It's not about Bush, it's about what's best for the country. - Reply to this comment
- You gotta love America. It is the most legally corrupt nation in the world where accountability or lack of can be circumvented with legal maneuvers and BS. If the truth be known and appropriate actions taken, it is not inconceivable that Cheney and gang would be parading in yellow jump suits with Bush not far from behind. If there is nothing to hide why hide behind obscure laws and what have you?

- A White House official said the vice president's office never believed it was required to file the reports, and that when it realized it had done so in 2001 and 2002, it ended the practice.
That is strange behavior from Cheney - for two years his office was following an Executive Order then in 2002 his office stops. What took place around that time that requires the secrecy? If past practice in 2001 and 2002 was justified for the WH and now the WH says not following the Order is OK - Why have the Order in the first place? This is surfacing now after a number of Administration officals are resigning (of course for more family time). Hmmmm..... - Reply to this comment

Your against G.W. but pro illegal immigration?
Polar opposites you really sit on two sides of the fence; odd position for most honest people. However, the world to some is flat too.

Pro-immigration is an extremely liberal and democratic view point. The surprising thing shouldn't be that an old dyed in the wool liberal like me supports amnesty, but rather that Bush does. This is why he's become so hated by conservatives and neoconservatives alike. Because his position is so liberal on immigration. Sop it's really much more a case of the surprising fact that Bush agrees with the same liberal immigration policy that I do.
I hate Bush's guts, but he just happens to have gotten one right, immigration, even though it does not make up for the war blood on his hands. When you're opposed to a particular politician that does not mean you have to march in lock step against everything they say. You don't have to disagree with and hate everything they do. That's a the neoconservative version of politics, not mine. - Reply to this comment

- The Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) is a tube-like bunker structure that lies beneath the East Wing of the White House in the United States.
During the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the center was occupied by *** Cheney, Lynne Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Mary Matalin, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Joshua Bolten, Karen Hughes, Stephen Hadley, David Addington, and Secret Service agents.
9/11 Commission Testimony
Mineta testified that he arrived at the PEOC at 9:20 a.m. and that Vice President Cheney was already present with his staff. "The 9/11 Commission Report" states that Cheney himself arrived at the PEOC at 9:58, a stunning 38 minute contradiction to Mineta%u2019s testimony.
Mineta%u2019s PEOC testimony was also edited out of the 9/11 Commission video archive.
Mineta ultimately expressed the obvious, that the standing order was an open question only Cheney could answer. The fact that "The 9/11 Commission Final Report" discarded his testimony has never been explained. Secretary Mineta did not respond to an open letter addressed to him. - Reply to this comment

- RandalDS would defend mass murder if it came from the Bushies. No, wait... he has defended mass murder... and genocide... and war crimes, what am I thinking?

I have no idea whose posts you've been reading that give you the wrong idea that I support the Bush administration, but they certainly were not mine. Any sane person in here will tell you how much I hate the chimp in charge. Either you're just plain mistaken or you're lying about me and my positions. I'm actually quite curious which it is. - Reply to this comment
- One year after the release of "The 9/11 Commission Report", serious questions that were raised before and during the Commission proceedings remain unanswered. For many, the Commission Report raised more questions than it answered. Not the least of these has been posed by honorable Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney recently questioned Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Myers %u201Cabout the four war games that were taking place on September 11 and how they may have impaired our ability to respond to those attacks.%u201D McKinney got a partial answer a week later. In the first on-the-record acknowledgement that there were four war games underway on 9/11/01, Myers told her that all battle positions were manned because of the drills%u2026
%u201C..so it was an easy transition from an exercise into a real world situation. It actually enhanced the response.%u201D - Reply to this comment

Cheney is the neocon party's most valuable asset... they will do everything they can to keep the master safe. The whole administration is a criminal enterprise that depends on secrecy to thrive, lest the light of day expose their blood sucking treachery.
They are not only fighting for their very lives (or at the very least, to stay out of jail), they are fighting for the viability of what was supposed to be the thousand year reich of the Republican party.
We're watching some very desperate men and women scrambling to keep their empire from crumbling around them and they may yet succeed in keeping their party from being cast into the lake of fire, so expect the worst. They have a whole cadre of automatrons like Randall and his ilk to spread their evil gospel and weaken our will. But, the reign of ignorence is over and the sun will shine on and heal their corruption and this country will once again be the America we know and love.
Support our troops. Bring them home... alive. - Reply to this comment

- Both President Bush and Vice-President Cheney took extraordinary steps to
limit any investigation into the events of 9/11.
* The NTSB never held inquiries into any of the 4 plane crashes, as required by law,
and the FBI is withholding the data from the airliner's flight recorders.
* All of the steel from the Twin Towers was shipped out of the country
before any investigation was held.

- Sometimes it's just deja vu' all over again. Here's a tidbit from Wiki concerning Agnew:
In short, Agnew was Nixon's "hatchet man" when defending the administration on the Vietnam War. Agnew was chosen to make several powerful speeches in which he spoke out against anti-war protesters and media portrayal of the Vietnam War, labeling them "Franco Un-American". - Reply to this comment

- starleo146 I suspect neither Bush or Cheney has ever READ the Constitution no less received anything more than the "Reader's Digest Abridged" version of it and promptly set it aside as "irrelevant".
How else could you explain a Commander-in-Chief that swore on a Bible that he would PROTECT AND DEFEND IT STATING ON TAPE THAT THE Constitution WAS "JUST A GOD D@MNED PIECE OF PAPER"!!! - Reply to this comment
