Americans strongly back attorney purge investigation.
Americans strongly back attorney purge investigation.
Glenn Greenwald highlights new results from a USA Today poll:
14. Do you think Congress should — or should not — investigate the involvement of White House officials in this matter?
Yes, should – 72%; No, should not – 21%
15. If Congress investigates these dismissals, in your view, should President Bush and his aides — [ROTATED: invoke "executive privilege" to protect the White House decision making process (or should they) drop the claim of executive privilege and answer all questions being investigated]?
Invoke executive privilege – 26%; Answer all questions – 68%
16. In this matter, do you think Congress should or should not issue subpoenas to force White House officials to testify under oath about this matter?
Yes, should – 68%; No, should not – 24%
But remember, members of Congress shouldn’t investigate Karl Rove because it will be “so bad for them.”

The Democrats better deliver. America wants their refund.

Andrea Mitchell is the most base of rightwing whores.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:15 pmAndrea Mitchell, is OF COURSE married to Alan Greenspan, DARLING of CHIMPya W. Bush and Bushland Uber Allies, Heir Apparent to the IDIOT Milton Friedman’s CRIMINALLY STUPID AND WRONG “supply-side economics” EMBRACED by Reaganites and Bushites—SO SHE IS AN ARDENT Bushland anus-kisser!!!!!
March 26th, 2007 at 9:21 pmFAT-F*CK Rove and Others from Bushland Uber Allies MUST BE FROG-MARCHED BEFORE HEARINGS, UNDER OATH AND WITH WRITTEN TRANSCRIPTS—-NOTHING ELSE OR LESS IS ACCEPTABLE—-LET’S SEE YA LIE YA WAY OUT OF THIS, Turd-Blossom!!!!!!
Funny. Just yesterday on Face the Nation, Politico.com’s Jim VandeHei said, “I talk to very few people outside of Washington who are paying any attention whatsoever to this attorney general scandal.”
Maybe you need to talk to a few more people outside of Washington, Jim. Venture out into the real world once in a while. It’ll shock ya.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:21 pmWow, does this mean Tony Snow can stop telling the press that there be no oaths or transcripts is that ‘people are tired of that (court room drama)’ Seems like ‘people’ are totally up for it Tony baby so no need to fret the decorum.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:26 pmYeah yeah yeah. The voters are going to kill them. Right after they kill them for opposing the Iraq War, and running on Republican corruption.
The difference between a President Gore and a President Bush, and between a President Kerry and a 2nd Bush term, is listening to these people.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:29 pmI remember a time they were the 30%ers. Now I think they can be officially called the 20%ers.
Damn 20%ers!!!!
March 26th, 2007 at 9:30 pm97% answered: What purge?
March 26th, 2007 at 9:32 pmmuckdog,
That’s right bury your head in sand, errr I mean shame. The AG is an F’n criminal, brought to you by the Bush crime family.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:57 pmI don’t live in Washington. I’ll make time to have a comfy little sit down
w/ Jim any ole day. What you say, Jim? It’s an open invitation.
Have your people call mine.. we’ll get straight to the heart of the matter.
March 26th, 2007 at 9:58 pmIf only subliminally, the public is aware that the Bush adminsitrationis not being straight with them – they suspect Gonzales is lying – they know Cheney is lying. They’ve seen Iraq, Katrina, and too many other questionable instances, even if they’re only paying half-attention at best.
March 26th, 2007 at 10:04 pmA hearing, under oath, with transcripts that can be capsulized, summarized and digested will be a good thing. The media will not be able to ignore it.
The percentage of Americans who want the hearings is pretty high, considering the percentage of die-hard Bushies. This could be the beginning of the end.
Just yesterday on Face the Nation, Politico.com’s Jim VandeHei said, “I talk to very few people outside of Washington who are paying any attention whatsoever to this attorney general scandal.â€
I visited that site the other day and read the comments on McConnell’s stonewalling of the Global Warming concert.
I thought I stumbled onto FreeRepublic with a nicer web interface.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:21 pmguess what Bush… Despite the corporate owned republican biased media America figured it out – you can no longer hide from America or be protected by the do nothing congress we saw during the 109th congress.
Good times ahead.
March 27th, 2007 at 12:23 amThey have lied to the American pulic so much, that it is inconcievable to me how we can not force them under oath. they have abused the Executive powers too much, and have been pushing us towards an imbalance of power since they came into power.
never forget how they spread FUD and mongered us into this war.Click here to watch Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfeld in The Masters of War
March 27th, 2007 at 3:40 amSo some political appointees were fired? So what’s the problem again? Silly anti American nutty libs. Jee whiz…
March 27th, 2007 at 7:10 am“Americans strongly back attorney purge investigation…”
Americans want border security, too. Will the nutty libs jump on board with closing the border because the American people want it?
Nope. Hypocrites, as usual.
March 27th, 2007 at 7:15 amI also support beginning impeachment procedures againt this criminal repukenicunt administration.Traitors to our beloved country!!!
March 27th, 2007 at 8:52 amCan you imagine what the Right would be saying if this had happened under a Democrat?
They’d be covered in foam, howling about the unprecedented atrocity, the treasonous partisanship, the heinous corruption of the American legal system, the evilness of liberals, blah-blah-blah.
But they’re trapped in the situation, forever unable to call anything what it is.
March 27th, 2007 at 9:35 amAnd don’t forget that according to every talking head pundit on the Teevee, no one outside the Beltway understands this stuff anyway, and could care less…..
March 27th, 2007 at 9:39 amyou numb skulls, you mean like the Executive privilages that Clinton’s White House used to not have Janet Reno testify?
what is good for the Demcorats in the 1990s is good for the Republicans today….
