The scandals were mainly sexual in nature, not lies and abuse of power. The tories have been out of power for 8 years and may be back in soon, as many people are fed up with the lies and spin culture of the current Labout government, that seems to have been adopted from the US.

Dear Senator Hutchison,

After viewing your appearance on Meet the Press this past Sunday, I felt compelled to write and note how proud I am to be represented by such a brave and principled woman.

Too often in society, people are cowed by peer pressure to not stand up for their principles. By stating that, “I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn’t indict on the crime,” while defending the Bush Administration staff you showed loyalty – certainly an admirable trait. Then I remembered several statements during the time of the Clinton impeachment hearings in which you said: “The concept of equal justice under law and the importance of absolute truth in legal proceedings is the foundation of our justice system in the courts.” And to explain your vote on the impeachment you said, “The reason that I voted to remove him from office is because I think the overriding issue here is that truth will remain the standard for perjury and obstruction of justice in our criminal justice system and it must not be gray.” These quotes taken together show that you are willing to take a stand for hypocrisy – the principle of having no principles at all.

Children need role-models willing to stand up for difficult principles – like hypocrisy – even when they are unpopular. No doubt, future generations aspiring to political leadership will look to your performance and profit greatly by your example.

And for that, I thank you Senator Hutchison.

Sincerely,

OK… so it’s not really sincere. And satire is usually lost on the GOP. But I just can’t resist.

” I applaud your views on perjury, madam Senator, when you said (and I quote you from February 1999) “…something needs to be said that is a clear message that our rule of law is intact and the standards for perjury and obstruction of justice are not gray. And I think it is most important that we make that statement and that it be on the record for history.

I very much worry that with the evidence that we have seen that grand juries across America are going to start asking questions about what is obstruction of justice, what is perjury. And I don’t want there to be any lessening of the standard. Because our system of criminal justice depends on people telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That is the lynch pin of our criminal justice system and I don’t want it to be faded in any way.”

Bravo indeed. Perjury is not a gray and faded thing, or a technicality, or a waste of time. Bravo for standing up for what you believe in and not flip-flopping on the issue. At all. Ever. ”

The GOP is undergoing the same fate of the British Conservative Party. Taking a country to war and using that to win an election, internal power squabblings, scandals, and now Libby is invoking the Maggie Thatcher “I don’t remember a frigging thing” defense. I should add that the ‘Tories’ in Britain have not been in power for nearly two decades now because of their spin, lies and weasel-like behavior.

only good part about listening to her, is that you get to see how dumb she acutally is and that she and geroge would appear to be sharing the same non-funcitoning brain cell.

another argument in favor or more federal funding for stem cell research!

This is the letter I faxed to my Cristocratic Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on Monday.

Thanks,

Dear Senator Hutchison,

Did you possibly have an “apparent failure of memory” of what you said in 1999 REGARDING THE IMPEACHMENT OF BILL CLINTON or is it just that YOU ARE SO PATHETICALLY PARTISAN OR MAYBE A “FLIP FLOPPER? “

The “CIA Outing of Valerie Plame” is not a “technicality!” Outing a covert- CIA operative is treason and it has “blown the cover” of a whole world-wide CIA operation now making nearly impossible to recruit new CIA operatives world wide since “No One Can Trust The U.S. Government Anymore!” WE ARE NOW LESS SAFE THAN BEFORE 9-11 !!

The GOP seems to think that the only 2 Moral Issues are “Abortion and Gay Marriage.” So tell me Senator Hutchison what makes the following MORAL:

1. Lying to take the U.S. To War in Iraq?
“Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” AfterDowningStreet.org is a coalition of veterans’ groups, peace groups, and political activist groups, which launched on May 26, 2005, a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war. More About Us….

2. Killing over 2000 U.S. Soldiers, 1000’s of Iraqi Citizens, not to include the soldiers who were wounded and later died (not reported) which probably is now between 6000-8000 dead soldiers that have come through Dover Air Force Base ….ALL OVER A LIE ????

3. Slander and “Character Assasination” if one is “telling the truth” and you can’t stand the fact of hearing and knowing the truth ?

I learned the following having been reared in the Lutheran Church what God tells us in The 10 Commandments:

Lying, Stealing, Cheating, and Killing “Break God’s Law!” But apparently, the GOP since 2000 thinks it’s above the Law including “God’s Law,” and a Republican “Can Do No Wrong! ” “IT’S OKAY TO LIE, STEAL, CHEAT, AND KILL AS LONG AS YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN !”

“DO HONESTY, INTEGRITY, ETHICS, AND HAVING A MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU SENATOR HUTCHISON?

Have they themselves been committing perjury? Why else would they say it is a mere technicality? If they really believe lying under oath is fine, imagine how much lying they are capable of, when not under oath!
