â€œthe White House participated in false statements to Congress.â€

What!? The Bush White House caught lying, misleading, and purposefully spreading falsehoods?
…
I am shocked -SHOCKED- I tell ya!

Comment by Gregor Samsa â€” July 19, 2007 @ 11:48 pm

And if you read a more clued-up blog than this one you might be talking about Bush committing a felony in regard to the same matter rather that just claiming a privilege that doesn’t apply.
But you don’t. So you’re not.
I’m just shocked. Shocked I tell ya.

â€œthe White House participated in false statements to Congress.â€

What!? The Bush White House caught lying, misleading, and purposefully spreading falsehoods?

And their prevarications were meant to cover their own misdeeds!?

“You defeat the trolls by taking action. You lose to the trolls when you waste your time engaging them, even if you win the war of words.
Comment by Larry from C “

It’s nice to know that there is still one intelligent person left on this site. This is what I have been saying for a long time. Engaging with the trolls just allows them to disrupt this site and eventually take it over. They are perilously close to having total control of this site right now. Why? Because there are so many people here who get their ego boosts by knocking the trolls. If you truly want to get back at the trolls, just ignore them. They will not be able to stand that and eventually they will leave. Hopefully that happens before all the intelligent thinking people leave first.

So like most things this Congress does it is meaningless and pandering to the MSM.

Comment by Frank J

Pandering to the MSM??? WTF??? You can say alot of bad things about Congress (and even more about Bush – far, far more more) but sadly, this comment, like most of the ones you post, makes NO sense whatsoever.

Retire that 14% figure the trolls love so much, unless you can back it up.

Good golly, missmolly, don’t blame Frank he can’t read. He probably went to a school like Regent.

Of course Congress is not the one that decides on Executive Privilege. So like most things this Congress does it is meaningless and pandering to the MSM.

Comment by Frank J â€” July 19, 2007 @ 5:16 pm

I’d be very surprised if the MSM even mentions this.

“According to the latest Gallup Poll, Congressâ€™s approval rating has sunk to a historic low of 14%.”

Comment by Frank J â€” July 19, 2007 @ 5:15 pm

Link, please. My link says the latest Gallup poll shows 24% approval.

http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm

Furthermore, the most recent Harris poll shows 21% approval for the Congressional Repubs, and 31% approval for the Congressional Dems. Retire that 14% figure the trolls love so much, unless you can back it up.

Did the House Judiciary subcommittee suddenly replace the Courts? I donâ€™t think so.

Did the EXECUTIVE BRANCH suddenly replace the Courts? I THINK SO.

Marcus Aurelius – as you have guessed, the Trolls are punks, now picture in your mind the biggest loser you can imagine, you know I mean like some one so vile that dogs can’t stand them, someone disliked by everyone that has ever met them. These are those people, they are so disliked in real life that they take out their frustration on the blogs because in real life they would get their ass kicked.

Hope that helps, and by the way, don’t bother reading their posts, look to see who posted and then skip over it.

#80 The man Thom Hartmann is interviewing is Paul Craig Roberts. Here’s the article he’s discusssing.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2007/170707Impeach.htm

Mr. Roberts’ best line in the interview: He said (paraphrase)…You don’t think the Republicans would be falling in line behind an unpopular President and imploding their party if they weren’t assured something SOMETHING was coming down the pike to save them.

***Damn good point!

#80 Yes BNF…I believe you’re talking about the Executive Order Bush signed on July 17. I’m listening to Thom Hartmann right now and he’s discussing it.

So frikkin’ what? As long as Impeachment is off the table, Bush can do whatever he wants.

For example:

…all property and interests in property of the following persons, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked … any person [found]

(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or services in support of, such an act or acts of violence or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order;

….[without] prior notice.

That’s right. If your charitable contribution gets to the wrong hands, you’ll lose your assets.

Worse, since this blocking is done in secret, so to may be the allegations that support Bush tying up your assets.

How long can any of us survive financially, with all our accounts frozen?

At this point, everyone calling themselves â€œMr. Presidentâ€ is either a fake, or a fraud, or both.

#74 Maragaret…If you call during business hours a staffer answers. (after-hours you often get an answering machine) They are usually polite. Simply tell them you’re calling about Harriet Miers ignoring her subpoena last week and why she has yet to be charged with Contempt. Then make very clear that you want her to be charged with INHERENT CONTEMPT, not Criminal Contempt which is a brick wall that will go nowhere. Its that easy and only take a minute.
