For those of you trying to compare Barry Bonds to George Bush..

[madinmaryland]

Bonds may have cheated in order to hit a few more home runs in a freakin game.
-No one died.

Bush lied about
-WMD
-Saddam/Osama link
-nuclear threats from iraq.
-not spying on american citizens
-Alito and Roberts would respect judicial precedence.

3,650 dead soldiers
3,000 dead in attack on NYC, because Bush ignored warning about Bin Laden.
650,000 Iraqi casualties.

DONT EVEH GO THERE!

:grr:

Also:
Bill Clinton lied about something that was a private consensual matter.
Bonds may have cheated in order to hit a few more home runs in a freakin game.
-No one died.

1. Let me jump in here with a blast from the recent past

- If Clinton had told the truth nothing would have happened
- If libby had told the truth cheney would be in jail

While I certainly am not a Barry Bonds fan your point is excellent.

[madinmaryland]

4. Also, If Bush had told the truth, Al Gore would have been President.

7. If Clinton had told the truth they would have impeached anyway.

For moral turpitude, for jaywalking, for spitting on the sidewalk. Let's be perfectly clear, THEY HAD NOTHING ON HIM AFTER SPENDING 73 MILLION DOLLARS. But that did not matter. It never did. They would have liked it legal, but that has never been all that important to them.

Does anyone here think they wouldn't have drugged him and put him in a bed with a dead hooker? Is that really too extreme for these sweethearts? THEY WOULD HAVE IMPEACHED NO MATTER WHAT. It is sheer fantasy to think Clinton could have avoided it.

They forged us into a war. What conduct is unthinkable for them?

[BOSSHOG]

9. Incredibly republican

IMPEACH A MAN FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. Very republican indeed.

Its nice to see who got the last laugh.

2. Just goes to show you how desperate some are becoming.

[madinmaryland]

3. If you dare venture into the Lounge,

you will see that exact thing happening. I never thought I would say that GD is more civilized, but today it is!

[AuntPatsy]

11. I dared one time, wasn't too impressed but lately I would have to say there

is a not always much difference between the lounge and GD but thankfully one doesn't have to click on all threads, freedom of choice is a good thing.

5. I don't have to watch baseball, I have to live in the US

If Bonds cheated, it only effects baseball, when bu$h cheats, it effects the world we live in, no escape.

That said, players like Bonds are one of the reasons that I no longer pay to attend professional sporting events.

[IndianaJones]

6. Apologist.nt.

[madinmaryland]

8. Apologist for what/whom?

Did I ever say I condone what Bonds may or maynot have done?

All I am trying to do is put a bit of perspective into this "debate".

By the way, maybe your representative should call for an investigation of Bonds, just like he spent eight years investigating every private matter of Bill Clinton.

[IndianaJones]

13. Bonds=Bush. nt.

[coco77]

15. Hater!

[IndianaJones]

16. Bush=Bonds=Hitler. nt.

[coco77]

17. Is a baseball game that serious?

[IndianaJones]

18. cheaters are cheaters I guess. nt.

[coco77]

19. That's all it is ...

is guessing.

[IndianaJones]

20. Actually, I like Barry Bonds, and find the comparison ridiculous. nt.

[madinmaryland]

22. Then why did you make the comparisons?

:shrug:

[IndianaJones]

24. Did you actually read that or the other Bonds threads...

including the positive one I tried to start? It was a little tongue in cheek jab at those that are making that and more ridiculous claims about Bonds. I have rarely seen such hateful vitriol directed at one individual.

[coco77]

23. I don't care one way or the other...

but all of this outrage is ridiculous.

[Journeyman]

10. So some are making that sort of nimrod comparison, eh?. . .

This place sinks deeper into irrelevancy with each passing hour. . .

[madinmaryland]

14. Unbelievable, but true.

See post #13.

:shrug:

[Divine Discontent]

12. may I say...

I don't know what this is stemming from, but I'd like to take the time to say I couldn't even watch the game last night, and I love baseball - I had to put it out of my mind. But, um, yeah.... B*sh is FAR more diabolical than Mr. BB, far more!

[madinmaryland]

21. I was asleep before the game even started.

Didn't hear about it until I was listening to Bill Press on Progressive Talk Radio 1260.
