Democrats prepare to move forward with investigations of the Bush administration... Developing...

[Old Sarge]

THERE WILL BE NO CIVIL WAR.

Not a single one of you Internet Rambo’s will pull a trigger at another American.

And the Sheep will never throw off the yoke of their new, popularly-elected, Socialist masters.

[HollyB]

The Dems have ALOT of nerve considering their role in the economic crisis. I hope there is a thorough investigation on the Dems. Maybe they’re trying to push the attention away from themselves..Or hurt the GOP reputation through a trial so Barack can reserve his spot in 2012.

[Political Junkie Too]

That's what Bush gets for his "new tone." He refused to investigate the outgoing Clinton administration, and now he's getting his head chopped off for it.

People like YOU are the problem. The republican party has become little different from the scumbag leftist party. The republican party needs to be destroyed and ground into the dirt and pissed on. They are pathetic spineless losers. Good riddance to them.

[jennyjenny]

Bush has the goods on Bambi in his back pocket.

[realcleanguy]

Yes you do. My father fought in world war 2 to keep fascism out. Now, it has arrived, through an election. He is out of his mind right now. At 87, he keeps saying “Get me my gun” I don’t dare do it, he might shoot someone

[palady]

Why not investigate Bush on why the DNC did not do a better job of investigating the new president elect?

[rollo tomasi]

An economic meltdown will make it easier to push collectivist legislation/Amendments. The fight is between Obama’s crapolicies vs. Pelosi's/Reid's crapolicies, whoever wins “the people” will lose.

[panthermom]

Every day this whole Obama thing gets stranger and more scary. He only won 52-48% but I think he actually BELIEVES he won 90% of the electorate. It is surreal and creepy.

[realcleanguy]

I hope you are correct. Otherwise war is coming to this country

[usconservative]

Obama and Biden are bringing a civil war to the US

Personally, I'm more than happy to oblige them.

Bring it on. Let's get it done and overwith so our children don't have to fight this fight.

[snowsislander]

If he wishes, President Bush can issue preemptive pardons for all of his people and he can even pardon himself. The presidential pardon power is plenary, and the only exception is not applicable (the President cannot use the power of the pardon in cases of impeachment, only criminal prosecution.)

If he needs model wording, history of course provides the classic:

Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.

For reference, here is the relevant part of Article II, Section 2: ... and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

[glock rocks]

THERE WILL BE NO CIVIL WAR.

Gotta agree sarge. I'll wait to see if the right side can even organize a Boston Tea Party.

[Charles Bronson Forever]

People don’t know just how much they’re gonna miss W.

[HollyB]

huh??

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

The military officer oath of office:

I (insert name), having been appointed a (insert rank) in the U.S. Army under the conditions indicated in this document, do accept such appointment and do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.

We swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies foreign AND domestic.

>Not a single one of you Internet Rambo’s will pull a trigger at another American.

I hope never to have to again. Next time I will not let them shoot first.

[jrooney]

Sounds like you have a guilty conscience. I am the problem because I voted against Obama? You sure are not very bright. Those that voted for him, third party voters that assisted him or thsoe that stayed home are. I did not want McCain as the GOP candidate. I wanted Fred Thompson. I guess that makes me part of the problem? Like I said, you are not very bright arse.

[teletech]

How so?

The freedom loving people will rise up! Do you need a picture?

[brydic1]

All I can say, Bush better not be found to have taken a roll of toilet paper with him, they will crusify him. But then he was so weak in handling the thievery of the Clinton Gang, it probably would be fitting to throw the book at him.
