NYT FRIDAY: Rove and Libby have been advised that they may be in serious legal jeopardy, but only this week has Fitzgerald begun to narrow the possible charges. The prosecutor has said he will not make up his mind about any charges until next week, government officials say... Developing...
Actually, I'm beginning to wonder who the real "Republicans in Name Onlys" are.
I will pay his filing fee if he will file that suit!
Everybody under oath and in public!
My layers of tinfoil are getting so thick, I'm starting to wonder if this plot was all hatched in 2003 by the usual suspects .. in an effort to derail the 2004 election, but the drumbeat took awhile to catch hold and the timeframe got extended.
Many of them, have already declared that POTUS is not a conservative, let alone a RINO. In fact, I've read some posts here that call him a Liberal.
It's time to create some pressure on the right. We should be smart and learn what works - the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Those whose support is not a given get all the benefits.
It's time to exercise power in this proven way: Let the others fight among each other; and let us be the difference in which one will win, so that the winner will do our bidding.
I agree with this, but I disagree with:
If by exercising the choice to sit out (or at the minimum preserving the ability to make a credible threat to do so).
"Sitting out" does not do the job. Too many pundits and analysts will claim that people sit out because the party is not liberal enough (a "bigger tent" is needed). I believe the proper action is to consistently vote for the candidate who best represents you, even if that is a third party candidate who cannot win. The vote for the third party candidate who better represents you demonstrates that the major party should consider the opinions of that candidate in the future. It is also important to vote for the Republican* candidate who does represent you well. Don't punish all Republicans for the failings of others.
This is a long term strategy. As proof, consider that the move of the Democratic party towards socialism was most likely precipitated by voters for communist and socialist parties receiving sufficient votes to affect elections.
* I assume it to be impossible that a Democrat candidate will represent me.
Well put. I am steadfastly loyal - to the USA, not the GOP, and I am proud to be that way. If the time has come for a test of conservative strength, so be it - let it be known where we stand, and destroy the myth that we can be ignored without consequence. In 2005, voters are customers, and it's time to take our money and our votes to those who will provide some actual service. With the DemoPublican chimera it's like getting phone service from a monopoly (before the Internet) - or news from the MSM only. As politics adapts to the Internet, it may even be inevitable.
How many "super secret CIA spy wives" do you know who attend a state dinner for the President of the United States, Bill Clinton and pose for a centerfold in Vanity Fair in "disguise" while describing all his "designer worldly goods" that he and his "super secret CIA spy" wife owns. Probably one of the worse PR moves he could have made. Duh.
ROFLMAO!
Hmmm.
Wilson lies about a secret trip done for the CIA, blasts it in the NYTimes and isnt charged.
WH staffers speaking innocuous truth to correct the record are charged.
Er, quit engaging in freindly fire *yourself*!!
"The loons like Rush Limbaugh ..."
Rush have been out defended the White House on this,
and pointing out the many reasons Wilson shouldn't be trusted etc etc
Why don't Valerie and hubby wilson move to a rual area and buy a farm. I bet they'd love it. All the peace and quiet associated with rural living. :-)
LOL! But true. Damn fringers or DU embeds.
It doesn't compute (in my mind) that if Fitzgerald is this no-nonsince guy that any leaks are coming out -- which leads me to surmise wishful thinking... you know if someone in the MSM says this often enough a certain group of people are going to believe it.
Howlin, Lawrence O'Donnell is such a flaming a-hole that I find it difficult to give credence to anything spewing out of his hateful mouth. This man is truly demented (IMHO)...
Plus he works at MSNBC which is putting out the full court press to make Republicans look bad and elect Dems and ultimtely Hillary -- the same person who managed the media in 1991 is the person running MSNBC -- Rick Kaplan and he's one of the FOB's (Friend of Bill)...
My biggest complait is all the ex-Klintinsta's that escaped investigation after 2001... and the Sandy Berger thing is one of the worst next to the people Clinton pardoned that last night.
