If bush has done nothing wrong, then he shouldn't fear a special counsel

[mopaul]

he should say, 'bring it on'

1. Only the guilty need fear! The innocent are blameless!

Toss their usual line of BS back at them.

6. This is a prime example of intelligent strategy. There is no

"comeback" for this one. This needs to be kicked and kicked until it's in the minds of most Americans. In the end, logic and logic only determines all outcomes. We as individuals often miss this because we are so small compared to the "big" picture. It's like staring at the side of an elephant from a distance of 1 inch. Can't even tell what it is.

2. Beautiful and devastating logic. Rave on!

[Arkansas Granny]

3. I like the way you think.

[JuniorPlankton]

4. Sorry, but it's like saying

if you have done nothing wrong you should not worry about the NSA spying on you. You have nothing to hide, right?

I hate the bastard, but let's be consistent. After all, there GOOD REASONS to investigate the asshole.

:kick:

7. It is consistent as hell

We should use their own words against them whenever possible!

8. Sorry, I have to disagree

many years ago when I was running for public office, my opponent called down an FBI investigation on a program I had run which used federal funds....the investigation took over three months and every aspect of my personal life was gone over with a fine-toothed comb by the FBI.

As a result, in a debate with my opponent, I was able to say that "I am the only candidate who has had his integrity certified by the FBI....my opponent cannot say the same."

There is anotehr difference. When there is a cloud of suspicion above you (and you're innocent) the only way to get rid of it is to OPEN to the investigation, cooperate and go the extra mile. Bush can't do that because he fails the threshold (e.g. He's guilty as hell and he's even admitted it.)

9. Junior, I know that your heart is in the right place. But, I must

respectfully disagree with your disagreement. It's not at all like saying "If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear" and here's why.

The idea that you have nothing to fear from the government is based on the premise that those doing the eavesdropping are good, honest people. If they were, there wouldn't be too much wrong with it. But, people must operate on the assumption that corruption could happen and therefore, set up barriers against.


But, Bush has lordly proclaimed his innocence of criminal wrongdoing. By so doing, he has invited congress to verify his innocence. We should follow up on this.

19. That's the whole point..

... to turn their stupid talking points against them.

[ewagner]

5. My thoughts exactly

where's the Cowboy Bravado?

Where's the steely-eyed, fearless leader?

What's that?

Why's everybody laughing? :sarcasm:

[driver8]

15. Oh man...I think I just pissed my pants!!!

That was a good one!

[bvar22]

10. If bush* has nothing to fear,

then he won't mind if we all listen in on his private telephone conversations!

[mopaul]

11. and he shouldn't mind testifying under oath either

[driver8]

16. Well, to a logical person that makes sense. Let us take a minute

and realize who we are dealing with here. These guys have told so many lies that they have no idea what is true and what isn't anymore.

Have they ever told the truth about anything?? I cannot think of one instance where this administration has stood up and told the truth. Whenever I hear our fearless leader speak, I just automatically assume that he is lying.

That is very sad.

[butterfly77]

17. or his e-mails..

remember last year when he said, he just didn't think that we should be able to read his e-mails.

[welshTerrier2]

12. yikes ...

i just wrote the following in another thread:

"if bush has done nothing wrong by wiretapping Americans, he should have nothing to fear with a thorough, independent investigation ..."

[mopaul]

13. his honor and integrity are above reproach, so bring it on liberals

[hughee99]

14. I remember the repukes use to make this argument

about Clinton and the independent council. In fact, many repukes are trying to make the argument now that if you've done nothing wrong, you shouldn't fear the government invading your privacy. Yes there should be a special counsel, but this is not a compelling argument to have one.

18. Bush can't go to the bathroom without a thousand armed guards.

[chimpymustgo]

20. Bring it on! K& R. Good one, mopaul!

nt

[mopaul]

21. bring it on mr. tough monkey

[mopaul]

22. don't mind if we check your overseas phone calls then dubya?
