Well it looks like the entire Bush criminal enterprise will go unprosecuted...

From the moment he entered the White House, President Obama's attitude towards the crime, corruption and politicization of the Bush Justice Department has been to "look forward and not backwards." As we've seen for the third time in just the last several days, that's working out just fine for the Bush lawyers.

On Wednesday, prosecutor Nora Dannehy announced she would bring no charges against Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, Monica Goodling or any of the key players behind the purge of 9 U.S. attorneys. That scandal, part of a larger effort to target Democratic politicians and suppress Democratic voter turnout, will go unpunished despite the key roles of Rove and Miers, and the apparent perjury of former Attorney General Gonzales.

Oh and now Bybee and Alberto (I don't recall remembering) Gonzales consider themselves victims.

:puke:

1. posted about this earlier, after hearing it on DN--interesting that none of the msm seems to be

covering it.

it looks like not one single member of that corrupt, lying, war-fear-and-hate-mongering cabal is VER going to face charges for any of their crimes.

[XOKCowboy]

4. Once again we condone treason, extortion and other crimes by our government

Same as when we condoned Watergate and Iran-Contra. Yet people still go to jail for possession of marijuana.

edited to change crimes in our government to by our government

[snake in the grass]

78. And like with those cases...

...this will come back and bite us in the ass real hard. I cannot believe the cowardice of this administration. No one is above the law?

Yeah, right.

[kenfrequed]

22. I recall

Advocating impeachment long, hard, and continuously. I was told by some of the right leaning, conservadems that used to litter this place that Impeachment would detract from the fall elections. I was told that we should be patient and wait and that prosecutions could come after the Bushies were out of office.

I did not believe them then so I am not suprised now.

But I do want those anti-impeachment people to remember what they said and what they believed and acknowledge that they were either lying to me here or that they were well and truly wrong.

[newtothegame]

47. They're not covering it because this is an opinion piece.

"That scandal, part of a larger effort to target Democratic politicians and suppress Democratic voter turnout, will go unpunished despite the key roles of Rove and Miers, and the apparent perjury of former Attorney General Gonzales."

[go west young man]

88. The fact that the media ignores it is all the proof one needs to ascertain

that they all are guilty. The truth might hurt their ratings and their leaders. No story is the proof.

[av8rdave]

2. Of course they will go unprosecuted

We have to look FORWARD, dontcha know.

12. Followed by another Democratic administration with the same agenda.

One might think that after you've been beat up by the same gang, one might get the idea that they are not and never will be on your side, but alas...

:hi:Chuckles

[jobycom]

19. Hogwash. Clinton wasn't the same as Reagan, Obama isn't the same as W.

Clinton reversed Reaganomics and the economy flourished. Obama hasn't been that bold, but he has at least countered the worst of their actions, and at least stopped the mad rush over the cliff (it's a slower crawl at the moment). If you don't recognize which group is on your side, you will keep returning to the same old gang that beats you up.

[Greyhound]

23. Pigplop, Clinton accelerated Raygunomics (would you like the whole list?) and the economy

"flourished" because tech took off, a boon that he moved to kill (export) as quickly as possible. He also quashed investigations and the prosecutions of BCCI/Iran-Contra that would follow in his first months. The entire Clinton administration can be summed up as an eight year quest to create a few billionaires at the expense of the new economy that was supposed to replace the old one his predecessors destroyed.

I recognize quite well that neither of these groups is on the people's side as everything they've done since day one has overwhelmingly favored one tiny group at the expense of the rest of us. The economic collapse has not been dealt with in any meaningful way, except to open up the bottomless American checkbook to prop up the perpetrators and consolidate the stranglehold they have on us. And this latest "sweeping reform" continues the tradition. The small are blocked from competing with the "too big to fail", while they are only required to tweak some "products" and tell their BFF (The Fed) about a few of them.

They have been building this cage for 30 years and the most you can see is that the bars have been painted.

[niceypoo]

55. You have it ass backwards

Clinton dismantled Reaganomics with his 1993 economic plan which raised taxes on top earners and lowered them on the lower class and 90% of small businesses. The OPPOSITE of Reaganomics. Read it and weep.

[liberation]

67. I don't think "reaganomics" means what you think it means.

Or at the very least the definition some of you are using of "reversing" is rather flawed.

In fact, Clinton got away with stuff that neither Bush the first nor Raygun could have gotten away with: NAFTA, welfare reform, the repeal of Glass-Steagal, etc, etc, etc, etc.

The economy flourished, no question about that, but so did the social and economic disparities among the class strata in this country.

[niceypoo]

73. Reaganomics = trickle down

...= supply side = tax cuts for the rich = massive government military spending

[liberation]

77. "Equal" and the proposition "and" are different things.

Please let me know how exactly did Clinton policies reverse supply side economics, which were the defining approach of Reaganomics. My lying eyes must have been playing tricks on my during that decade.


He was not as virulently reactionary as Raygun, no question about that. But it is a bit dishonest to pretend that Clinton somehow "reversed" the trend started by Raygun, when te majority of the political platform exercised by the two Clinton administrations were to the right of Nixon's.

[niceypoo]

94. They reversed Reaganomics by undoing his tax policy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1993">It isnt rocket science.

Had Bush not re-implemented supply side tax cuts for the rich, we would have been in surpluses at least until 2007. Had Gore won, the national debt would have been paid down by the time left office.

[Greyhound]

90. Did I claim that he didn't raise taxes? Is that all you believe Raygunomics is?

The money literally gushed from the tech boom, and the Clinton administration directed every penny it could upward and he turned his back on the people. He accelerated the income gap and kept pumping steroids into job-destroying mergers while refusing to enforce the Sherman Act in any meaningful way.

Was he worse than Republiks? No. Did he work for the "little people"? No.

Working with Republiks, he moved the anti-worker agenda further than 41 could have ever hoped to.

Look at the list you posted, who paid those taxes?

[Gaedel]

46. Clinton only reversed .....

The tax cuts by a minor increase in the top rate to 39.6% (a truly artificial number). Since the Reagan tax cuts were being phased in, the economy hardly noticed the difference.

The Clinton boom was first a tech boom then a dot-bomb bubble. It could not be sustained. The Bush boom was a housing bubble.

Now we are post-boom-boom.

27. I put my heart and soul into and withstood a lot of grief in supporting him. I even went to

How can we possibly know that we're damned if we do, when we refuse to do?

[Initech]

29. Think about this for a second:

The Fux Noise machine was created in 1997 to ensure that a conservative victory would be able to take down Clinton. They did, I'm not gonna say successfully because it made both them and us look like a joke to the rest of the world. So who's to say it's not gonna happen again? If we don't learn from history we're doomed to repeat it.

[slipslidingaway]

42. "Clinton “didn’t feel that it was a good idea to pursue these investigations ...

because he was going to have to work with these people,” Sender told me in an interview. “He was going to try to work with these guys, compromise, build working relationships.”

Clinton’s relatively low regard for the value of truth and accountability is relevant again today because other centrist Democrats are urging their party to give George W. Bush’s administration a similar pass if the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress.

....Not only did Clinton inadvertently clear the way for the Bush restoration, but the Right’s political ascendancy wiped away much of the Clinton legacy, including a balanced federal budget and progress on income inequality. A poorly informed American public also was easily misled on what to do about U.S. relations with Iraq and Iran.

In retrospect, Clinton’s tolerance of Reagan-Bush cover-ups was a lose-lose-lose – the public was denied information it needed to understand dangerous complexities in the Middle East, George W. Bush built his presidential ambitions on the nation’s fuzzy memories of his dad, and Republicans got to enact a conservative agenda..."

59. Clinton screwed up. Obama won't learn.

Clinton tried the nicey-nice, bipartisan stuff. Stupid idea, but I guess he thought it would work. The republicans ate him alive.

Obama and his advisors, for some unfathomable reason, seem totally ignorant of the 90's.

So Clinton tried a dumb idea. But for Obama to try it again and again after it didn't work for Clinton and hasn't worked for him makes him seem a little simple-minded.

[Individualist]

76. Bottom line...

DL enables neocons. Hell will freeze over before a DLC administration will even consider prosecuting a neocon.

[liberation]

79. It goes further back than that: remember Nixon?

Yeah, this country was told to "look forward" then too, so that papa Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and friends who got their start in that administration had a nice down time to get back in full force a decade later. And then they took another "break" (plundering and pillaging must be rather tiring activities) during the 90s so they were refreshed and ready for this decade we just went through.

And since we're still "looking forward" I can't wait to see the wonderful surprises this gang has in store for us for the 2020s. Given they seem to act in a decade on/decade off pattern.

[XOKCowboy]

81. Now it's standard procedure to either pardon or condone illegal activities of past administrations..

Look at some of Bush's inner circle. Many were pardoned for Watergate and/or IranContra and other illegal acts yet were still in the highest echelon of the federal government. Ollie North was caught redhanded LYING TO CONGRESS and is a regular on all the RW propaganda shows.

A self-recurring pattern. The lesson is that you'll never get punished for outing a CIA agent, starting a war for oil, torture or anything else. No worries you'll never get prosecuted or you'll get pardoned if you do.

All the while we peons must obey ALL laws. Clearly a double standard.
