Nothing ever comes of any of this crap. Don’t tell me to be patient. The game is fucking rigged and Bush and his cronies will limp away into lives of obscene luxury.

Grrraaaaaaghhhhhh!!!!

3. Spare me the blaming of Democrats when we should be blaming the Republics..
The party responsible for rigging the game.

Blaming the losing team when the ref throws the game isn't logical.

5. Since when has it been (apparently) legal for the executive to ignore subpoenas?
The Dems are still playing by the old legal standard, that's their mistake. It's not that they haven't tried.

6. IIRC, the congressional sergeant at arms has the authority to
coerce appearance. He can go and arrest their asses. He should be ordered to do so.

7. This was not specifically a Dem-basing post
It was a rigged-government-bashing post.

Edited on Fri Aug-24-07 03:00 PM by dbt
It took a LONG time for my own people to run me out of my own party, But Pelosi and Reid were finally able to convince me.

9. I wholeheartedly agree
Pelosi and Reid are spineless, compromised, pieces of gelatin -- the worst kind of capitulators in a time when we need moral strength more than ever.

10. I think that out of kindness to Stevendsmith we should shut down DU
I mean as long as DU is around there are going to be some twisted fucks (like myself for example) talking about hearings and investigations and growing scandals. The only way to protect Stevendsmith from these comments permenantly is for DU to go off the air.

Although I guess that could be bad too, come to think of it.
