“Here’s what you need to know — and the Committee would have discovered, if only they’d asked:

“1. ‘Caging’ voters is a crime, a go-to-jail felony.

“2. Griffin wasn’t “involved” in the caging, Ms. Goodling. Griffin, Rove’s right-hand man (right-hand claw), was directing the illegal purge and challenge campaign. How do I know? It’s in the email I got. Thanks. And it’s posted below.

“3. On December 7, 2006, the ragin’, cagin’ Griffin was named, on Rove’s personal demand, US Attorney for Arkansas. Perpetrator became prosecutor.

“The committee was perplexed about Monica’s panicked admission and accusations about the caging list because the US press never covered it. That’s because, as Griffin wrote to Goodling in yet another email (dated February 6 of this year, and also posted below), their caging operation only made the news on BBC London: busted open, Griffin bitched, by that “British reporter,” Greg Palast.

“There’s no pride in this. Our BBC team broke the story at the top of the nightly news everywhere on the planet — except the USA — only because America’s news networks simply refused to cover this evidence of the electoral coup d’etat that chose our President in 2004.

“And now, not bothering to understand the astonishing revelation in Goodling’s confessional, they are missing the real story behind the firing of the US attorneys. It’s not about removing prosecutors disloyal to Bush, it’s about replacing those who refused to aid the theft of the vote in 2004 with those prepared to burgle it again in 2008.”

OK, let’s review: during the same week Clinton’s secretary was being forced to testify, Clinton stuck his head in the door ONCE, and asked her if they were treating her alright. This was the heart of the “Obstruction of Justice” part of the impeachment attempt. And, YES, quite a few Senators didn’t think it rose to the level of obstruction. Alberto’s various little games are in another league altogether.

You’re right! Just one of my many new features designed to enhance the lifelike quality of my responses. Yes, RoboTroll 3000 can now detect and respond to sophomoric recastings of my name in insulting posts.

All in the name of serving your troll needs better.

what this nation needs is a “Justice Czar”!!

A “bribe?” That’s blackmail in my book. And it also simply proves what many of us have said from the beginning. This “war” was about control of the oil in the region…PERIOD.

So before you start calling your Democratic leaders and threating to vote them out, just think how you felt last year at this time. You all know as well as I that a good portion of the voting population can only respond to 30 second sound bites. Think about that for a second and ask yourself what would the scumbags republicans, with the help of the liberal media, do if Democrats shut off funding? To hell with the polls, americans have every short memories, you know it and so do I. This is the republicans war and Bush is the leader. Sorry but more young men and women will have to die before we can really do anything but that blood is on the hands the republicans. That’s the message we need to send to the sleeping public.

Don’t forget that as unpopular as the Vietnam war was, the majority of voters never voted for the candidates who promised to end the war immediately. They voted for Nixon who had a secret plan and he didn’t withdraw our troops until his second term.

Also don’t forget that it was only a few months ago that Dems were labeled anti-American. If republicans yell their smears loudly enough again the fickle voting public could start believing it again. But as I said, in the meantime it’s tragic that so many people have to die in a senseless “war” while everyone slowly makes up their minds.

All the democrats need to do is keep exposing the Bush administration while not seeming too radical to gain the centre ground. With the endless ‘playing to the base’ strategy, the republicans are vacating this area.

This is why some sections of the press suggested in November that taking both houses was a poisoned chalice: if they get both houses they have to do something. If they had captured only one then they could happily undermine the president without taking responsibility for clearing up Iraq et cetera. Falling short on Iraq is probably seen as a payoff for winnning the presidency next year.

Give the Democrats a break- if they carry on this way they’ll probably gain the presidency, or at least be able to castrate the next republican.

Someone distract me with something shiny please.
