I believe that it is time for Congress to appoint an independent council to thoroughly investigate the Justice Department. And the person should not come from the DOJ!

The US Army is occupying Iraq so it can spread football to the great unwashed untermensch? I saw Chimpy yell ‘Are you ready for some football’ on TV a few years ago (couldn’t find the remote quick enough) – was that what that was about?

I too use your site info often, thanks so much.
Great work.

Thanks for the critique. You may have misread my point. It’s not so much that you had confused the two forms of the word “democracy” as the fact that you used your mistaken understanding to form the basis of a criticism (unwarranted) of someone else.

I understand that you don’t like to be called on your mistakes, but that’s really no reason to then try to throw the blame on ME for pointing it out.

Oh, wait — what am I thinking? of couse there’s a reason — you’re a righty. It’s what you do when proven wrong.

I think they’ve figured out that by investigating themselves they don’t have to comment on the investigation or any findings. Ever.

Lots of tricks up their sleves these facists called Republicans

WOW. You stated absolutely nothing of note! What, did you believe for a minute that you were the textbook of Thinkprogress.org?

It’s a casual blog, so I don’t care about extensive proofreading, only argument. So please, go take your excessive academic tendencies elsewhere. Academics are said to be detached from the real world, anyways. Chowderhead.

Oh no, that is so last week. You know our mission changes every time a member of the administration speaks. They keep moving the goal posts.

RoboTroll 3000, not to worry, PoopTroller V-1 isn’t fit to shine your shoes.

“You are no longer the product of choice on the shelf. CompTROLLER V-1 has taken over.”

Hey, I just repeat what they program into me at RNC headquarters. Take it up with them.

Thanks all!

I see that you post this here on every thread where it pertains and I wanted to THANK YOU. it’s quite a fine resource, so in case no one tells you often enough – I appreciate it and use it often….and it’s always on the thread where I expect it to be (bookmarked now).

Your efforts are not wasted. :)

Or have we gotten to such a state that when Justice says we are undertaking an investigation, we believe they are lying through their teeth?

It’s time to bust this organized crime family otherwise known as the GOP.

“being a democrat doesn’t always translate into advocating for “Democracy,” so get your story straight.”

Unfortunately for you, dim-wit, you got your capitalizations all screwed up. One of the side-effects of the right-wing insistence on petty digs, no doubt.

For your info, “small d” democracy refers to the political system of majority rule that your boy GWB43 seems intent on exporting (but only to select countries). The political party that you were trying to demean in your juvenile fashion is properly spelled with a capital “D” as in “Democratic Party”.

Good try, though. Maybe you should have some systems diagnostics run on your circuits.

If you fire an at will-employee in an executive branch department (ie, one who serves at the pleasure of the president) for not using his office for partisan purposes, you have violated the Hatch Act.

It’s really very simple, trolls: even if the law gives you broad discretion in how you operate in a certain area, you are still not allowed to use that discretion in the furtherance of a crime.

If the speed limit is 45, and you speed up from 30 to 40 in order to run somebody over, you have commited vehicular homicide, even though the law gives your the discretion to decide whether to drive 30 mph or 40 mph.

“isn’t the Republican intent of being in Iraq to forge a democracy that can sustain, equip, govern and defend itself?”

I thought it was ‘imminent threat’ and ‘mushroom clouds’ and so on – did I miss something?
