Repug Admits: WH Wants McCain to Win To Bury the Evidence
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/20/the-chris-matthews-show-why-the-white-house-really-wants-mccain-to-win/
FINEMAN: If you’re in this White House, you want another Republican administration to follow. You don’t want a Democratic administration coming in there while the evidence is still fresh, so to speak. To look at it the way…

MATTHEWS: With the subpoena power…

FINEMAN: With the subpoena power and looking through all the records and looking at all the decisions that were made. You want to cover over your two terms with a third term the way Ronald Reagan did with George HW Bush.

1. Frankly, I don't think they're very worried about that...
I think Bush is so self-righteous that he wouldn't see the need for that. Furthermore, I don't think he likes McCain personally, and I would bet that he'd rather not see him in that office.

3. oh they are very worried if their plan fails
they will try EVRY trick in the book to win the WH and Congress. If you unzipped the GOP and the Bush administration a large green slime would come out including the details of 9/11 attacks.
Everyone need to watch them like hawks to make sure they are not carrying out their plots.

2. Yea... what are the dems going to do? Something?
I doubt it. The fact is that the assets of Bushco, Cheneyco and everything Halliburton should be frozen until it's all sorted out. Followed by prison sentences for all the major players. That will not happen. The "poor, poor" American electorate 'just couldnt handle' something like that. Nixon should have done time, but he didnt.

4. I watched that......
Like we didn't already know it. I'm sure they have tried to destroy all they can, but they cannot get it all. I keep thinking that is what Pelosi and the dems are waiting for. Subpoena power, access, and the absence of presidential pardon powers are the advantages of waiting. If Rove was convicted now, he would just be pardoned, but if they wait until Bush is out of office, he is fair game....as are all of them! Even Scooter could be tried and convicted for other offenses.

Would not a group frog march be the best thing this country has ever seen? Bush, CHeney, Scooter, Rove, Card, Rice, and all the others, handcuffed standing in front of democratic justice official reading them their rights, or lack thereof because they have been deemed enemy combatants, to be incarcerated or renditioned in a place to be held secret, until such a time that we think they may actually deserve some kind of representation!

There's a movie in there somewhere!

5. They Have Subpoena Power Now, In Theory
In practice, ** just refuses to comply with subpoenas from Congress.
