Is John Robert's wife "Fair Game?"

[BOSSHOG]

I wouldn't suggest we stoop to the level of rove etc since that would be an incredible fall for patriotic liberals however the knuckledragging cowardly bush base have had no problem trashing Patriot Joe Wilson for telling the truth. The serpentine rove stated Wilson's wife is fair game, thus ending her career and jeopardizing the security of our country. He's still working in the white house today employed by the man who would bring honor back to the WH.

Jane Roberts is very much anti-choice and like a typical conservative would like to legislate away constitutional liberties that effect "other" law abiding tax paying citizens. Would pillow talk by little miss priss drive John up the steps of the Supreme Court and send our country backwards 32 years? I say yes. Mrs. Roberts is fair game. Conservatives have set the precedent.

1. Calling her names is not legitimate, but carefully examining her

record is.

I don't care what the repubs do; calling a person's spouse names and destroying her career/endangering her life are wrong. Mocking her looks is wrong.

But a marriage is a legal union. What she does cannot be completely separated from what he does.

[Reciprocity]

20. Well said.

I heard (can't remember where) that they adopted their two children, so it is no surprise what side of the abortion issue she is on.

[bunkerbuster1]

24. This adoptive parent couldn't be more strongly pro-choice.

Not saying the Stepford Judge is as well, but let's not make them thar sweepin' generalizations, ok?

[Reciprocity]

28. Let's get something straight.

I made my "sweeping generalization" on this one person and what I know about her.

[blondeatlast]

2. She runs an organization with a political agenda; that makes her

fair game in my book.

[ibegurpard]

7. I agree

Her political and professional affiliations would give us some clues as to her views on certain issues...and those views are troublesome to me and I would like to know if he agrees with them.

[dajoki]

26. that does make her "fair game"

do you know what the organization is or any links. i'd like to check it out. thanks in advance.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Mine too

[SCDem]

3. I believe she is

The reason is we do not know too much about John Roberts. But we can tell alot about people by the company we keep. Mrs. Roberts is the closest company to John Roberts and I believe what she believes and her actions are a reflection on him and what he deems acceptable behavior and policies.

[blondeatlast]

6. Not to mention her obvious ties to FFL.

Regardless of who her spouse is, I'd call her fair game for that.

[HockeyMom]

4. Yes ,she is fair game

It isn't simply her views. She holds a prominent position, Executive Vice President, of an anti choice organization. She is an ACTIVIST.

[sandnsea]

5. Daschle's wife was

Same thing, corporate interest. Conflict of interest. I'd say her professional and public activities are fair game.

[tanyev]

8. I don't know, but I thought it was brilliant in another thread

about the novel The Handmaid's Tale, where they started calling her Ofroberts. Actually, I think it would be Ofjohn.

[MrBenchley]

9. Hey, there's nothing undercover about her job...

and I think America has a right to know what Judge Frenchfry's wife is up to...and what sort of crackpot ideas her group is pushing...

What makes the attack on Valerie Plame disgraceful is that the attack by the White House significantly weakened national security by outing an undercover CIA agent AND her collegaues, as well as the "front" company that so much time, energy and taxpayer money went into creating.

Judge Frenchfry's wife is, as far as anybody knows, an executive at a non-profit which is required to give public disclosure. (Of course if it were a Republican "black op" of some sort, or in any way funded by taxpayers, that would be a different story for very different reasons.)

[Patty Diana]

10. Thes RW Radicals have smeared Hillary, Kerry's Wife_shit, these

fuckers have no couth. If we are going to stay in their obscene war we HAVE to start using their tactics____if we don't we are DEAD!!!!! Got it, they have not given us a choice here. So it should be no more Mr Nice guy democrats any longer. The pukes are counting on us to be nice guys__well FUCK EM ALL. we all know that these radicals pukes are now messing with all our lives!!!

[ArkDem]

11. Fair game but it won't do any good. The fix is in.

[fujiyama]

12. Yes

But the kids aren't.

And even when discussing her, I'd rather discuss her political involvement rather than something as petty and meaningless as the way she dresses or the way she dresses the kids. Who cares if she dresses the kid in saddle shoes?

[JNelson6563]

13. She sure would be if she was a Dem

and we all know it.

[Bucky]

14. If by "fair game" you mean "sexy as hell", then you betchum!

Grrrrowwwll!!

[Patty Diana]

18. Did Mrs Roberts go WITHOUT SEX till she was in her 40's

now THIS I find preposterous_why the fuck wasn't she in a convent then. Maybe someone will come forth yet, who knows. The Fucking Hypocrisy here is astounding. How the hell is she in a position to tell anyone about sex_let alone abortion.

[me b zola]

15. Also, being a *WAR PROFITEER* makes her fair game

Check this out, guys:

16. Absolutely

We won't be taking away her career and her identity by exposing it to the public.

We don't have the luxury of making a mistake on this appointment. We need to KNOW what Roberts will do. That means examining the people he associates with, especially including his wife.

[Booster]

17. According to Rove & other Repugs, any wife is "fair game".

[leesa]

19. She is if she is brokering war profiteering deals in Iraq.

[merbex]

21. Unless she is an agent working for the CIA I'd say she is fair game

22. ROVE: All wives are "fair game"

23. I recommend this piece

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

25. Maybe we should ask Teresa

I'm sure she could give some valuable insights into how the attack machine was used against her.

Stop being so civil and polite while the neocons use all the tools available.
