Conyers: ‘Someone’s got to kick Rove’s ass.’
The Politico reports that today on the House floor, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) was overheard revealing his aggressive strategy for investigating Karl Rove:
Just off the House floor today, the Crypt overheard House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers tell two other people: “We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”
Asked a few minutes later for a more official explanation, Conyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn’t, said Conyers, “We’ll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We’d hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested.”
Conyers said the committee wants Rove to testify about his role in the imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, among other things.
“We want him for so many things, it’s hard to keep track,” Conyers said.

May 15th, 2008 at 3:42 pmWe can only hope heir Karl gets to be paid back for all the he has done for our country.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:43 pmTime to bust out Inherent Contempt after Mukasey refuses to enforce the contempt citation, John.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:44 pmJohn Conyers = Real American
May 15th, 2008 at 3:45 pmThe Time to indict and imprison the WAR CRIMINAL Karl Rove is far over due!!!!! If it was in an serious country that would’ve have happen a year ago!
May 15th, 2008 at 3:46 pmI’d Love to believe this is actually going to happen. If, and Please God let, this happens then the dominoes will start to fall. If, miracle of miracles, the Democrats grow a collective spine and, most unlikely of miracles, enough Republicans remember that Rule of Law is Supposed to be a reality, then maybe my fondest dream will become a reality. What is that dream?
May 15th, 2008 at 3:46 pmImpeach Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
Wow… when that first domino topples, doesn’t take long for the rest to start falling.
Unless, of course, this is all just a farce played out for the benefit of the masses.

Lots of chippiness in the stories today, eh? Maybe the endgame is drawing close.

well Conyers, we’re waiting. Or are you gonna write another to him, expressing your disappointment(for the 119th time)
May 15th, 2008 at 3:49 pmMr. Whitecracker: Good to see government is working to solve the problems people care about…
Since the dems are down in the polls because people want them to hold republicans accountable, twizzle your pizzle, meathead.

May 15th, 2008 at 3:50 pmJohn, seriously, skip all the pretense and just arrest the bast@rd. You know he’ll never come willingly. If I know it, then you definitely should.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:52 pmSomeone has to kick the Democrats’s ass in congress… They haven’t done nothing to stop the destruction of the US. We had so much hope when they took congress… I hope Mr. Conyers stop writing letters and get the pig Rove in jail, where he deserves to be for the rest of his miserable life!
May 15th, 2008 at 3:52 pmIs Conyers up for re-election? We’ll see how far he pushes this.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:52 pmI’d flee, KKKarl.

May 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pmI have this vision of KKKarl’s fat incarcerated ass waddling down the halls of some Federal prison, going to perform his “wifely duties”.

You know, it’s really cute and all, how you’re trying to deflect attention away from the fact that the criminals, traitors, fascists, and war criminals in your party might actually get held accountable for their actions finally, but really, you’ll have to do better than that or else you’re not even a worthy troll.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:56 pmMr_King Says: Blather.
Write us a letter, when you get to the outer edge of the political Gobi - again.

someone?
May 15th, 2008 at 3:57 pmhell! we’re lined up waiting or turn just like that scene from the movie Airplane.
The donkeys ratings are in the toilet because the entire country cares about only ONE THING: Impeach Bush.
And repair the damage he’s caused…
May 15th, 2008 at 3:58 pmAnd you certainly won’t hear me disagree with Conyers. Go Conyers go! It takes an army of the entire HJC to bring down Rove. It is too bad Conyers is the only one speaking more vocal who wants Rove brought to justice. Conyers is all talk and all action. But, I seriously want Conyers to go for the gusto and simply arrest Tubby and forget the talks, invitations, and penpaling. Tubby is showing his hindparts in the name of the justice system.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:58 pmI’m wondering if the three losses the Republicans suffered in recent special elections is enough to finally give the Democrats some spine. I suspect they haven’t used Inherent Contempt because they were worried that the public would react negatively. But now that we have the Republicans on the run, perhaps they will use Inherent Contempt on Rove and then Meiers and Bolton. And once that’s done, IMPEACHMENT. Having Bush/Cheney under articles of impeachment is the only way that Congress can stop them from bombing Iran and declaring Marshal law.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:01 pmUhh, Mr-King, you might want to consider the numbers of congressional members indicted and count them by party affiliation. (Not sure you will like the results)
May 15th, 2008 at 4:01 pmHere’s to hoping …
May 15th, 2008 at 4:03 pmPolitical posturing to get retard progressives votes
Without doing the research, on it’s face, this one is quite possibly your stupidest comment to date.
If he were doing it for votes, wouldn’t it make sense to do it closer to the election, Brainiac?
May 15th, 2008 at 4:03 pmMr_King Says:

Gee, Mr_King like your disgustingly senile candidate McJowls uses “bomb, bomb Iran” to get YOUR vote…?
OK.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:04 pmMr King can’t fight the Iraq war, neither can he fight the political war just starting. Take a tactics course, chickenhawk.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:04 pmInherent Contempt - again - INHERENT CONTEMPT - if you don’t use it on these Bush Mafia criminals now you will never be able to bring any of them to justice, they will continue to give you the finger.
One more time - INHERENT CONTEMPT
May 15th, 2008 at 4:05 pmWow! We’ve got an excessively motivated troll here showing up to defend herr Rove. It’s sort of extraordinary how fast Mr. King’s fingers are flying.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:06 pm“Typical Liberal concept though, don’t build yourself up, tear the competition down.”
Nope - that’s straight out of the KARL ROVE playbook. Hope he enjoys being behind bars.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:06 pmKing: Typical Liberal concept though, don’t build yourself up, tear the competition down.
- - I guess you aren’t familiar with Rove’s tactics. Swiftboating ring any bells for ya?

May 15th, 2008 at 4:07 pmMr_King,
One thing is certain, the Dems don’t have to make the Repugs look bad, they are fully capable of doing that all by themselves.
And the numbers will keep growing, as the K Street Boyz will continue to fall out of the woodwork, proving the lack of ethics and amorality of the Party with no conscience.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:08 pmGang, King is a troll. Nothing pleases a troll more than to see people take his outrageous posts seriously. Don’t give him the satisfaction.

Idiot troll. A recent poll for President asking “would you rather have a Democrat for President over a Republican”, the numbers were 54/35. Doesn’t sound like the Democrats are down in the polls to me. Last poll on President between Obama and McCain has Obama ahead by 10. Doesn’t sound like the Democrats are down in the polls to me.
Oh yea, how are those special elections going for you troll?
May 15th, 2008 at 4:12 pm….and buh-bye, trollie.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:12 pmWell that didn’t take long. I apologise to the poster who took the position after the original post 36 was deleted.

To quote David Allen Coe off of his Underground album:
Throw that b!tch in prison
then maybe she’ll see

Karl, you’re going to make one fine prison b!tch.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:17 pmThat’s why I hate this TP posting format: you have to research past posts, or you don’t know who said what.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:19 pmWow, in less than 30 minutes, 70 posts, 18 troll droppings removed. I trust you are beefing up the monitor crew for the ensuing campaign, TP is a prime target.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:20 pmWhere does the line form to kick rover’s ass ? Can I get in line ? Well as soon as my back quits hurting.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:20 pmMs_Joanne,
Great minds and all…. check out #21 above.
Heh Heh
May 15th, 2008 at 4:21 pmUh nineja you are right here as well, who pays your rent?
May 15th, 2008 at 4:22 pmBy the way, many of us work from home along with raising kids and foster kids. What have you done lately aside from killing our soldiers ?
When is anything ever going to be done to these criminals that were part of BushCo? I feel like I’m living on some horrible, alternate reality planet. I wonder, have past administrations just been better at covering up, or have they been basically abiding the law? If the later, there are dozens of people from BushCo, not just Rove, who should have their asses kicked (thrown in jail).
I’m damn tired of all this illegal BS coming to light, and absolutely nothing being done about it.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:22 pmrover boy is evil personafied may he suffer the same fate as his mentor.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:23 pmrover’s mentor was Lee Atwater for you young ones…Mr. Atwater in his last days regretted the evil smears he perpetuated to others.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:25 pmNinja,
He was outed because of his bigoted remarks a ways up.
Go back to your Righty blogs, then you will get NO dissention, only your own kind. We can’t even get into many of them.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:26 pmninja97 Says:
NONE OF YOU CARE THAT ALL OF A PERSON’S POSTS WERE DELETED BECAUSE HE DISAGREED WITH ALL OF YOU?????
Grow up, and grow some.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:26 pmUnfortunately, nothing will ever be done, there is too much work to do to clean up this 8 years of mess to waste time wrangling with highly paid lawyers bushco/mccain, cheney can afford. Remember sometimes these rotten ones do get payback if not in the court.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:28 pmninja97 Says he is stuck on stupid and can’t turn it off.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:28 pmNinja is a regular at Mulligan’s in Atlanta, I do believe. And has the t-shirt to prove it.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:29 pmninja97 Says:
I love how “open minded” this board is. Censor with a heavy hand all dissenting opinions.
First of all, it’s not a “board.” It is a blog.
Second of all, people get “censored” for behavior, not for dissenting opinions. There are conservatives commenting here who do not get “censored” because they are interested in an actual conversation rather than spouting old, tired, long-refuted “conservative” talking points.
Third of all, TP is remarkably tolerant of dissenting opinions compared to right wing blogs.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:30 pmDestroy people? And pray tell what has mr.rover ever done that deserves your loyalty? Starting with avoiding any military service, illegal voting here in Texas, dirty campaign tricks way back . These are just the tip, but falsifying evidence to jail someone of a different party ? Wow ! Yeah, I can see why you stick for him.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:31 pmHahaha the latest troll accuses us of name-calling right after calling us cockroaches.
At this point in the day that seems funny somehow.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:31 pmwell perhaps ninja should look at other threads, Daryl rambled on and on against gays, no one censored him.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:33 pmI thought that Ninjas don’t whine and cry.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:34 pm“We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”
Get on with it, then. Talk is cheap, John. Defecate or disembark from the receptacle.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:35 pmPhysical harm ? Butt kicking ? Well at least that is not trying to destroy his career as he does to others. Rover even commented he doesn’t like to just win, but grind the opponent into the ground. Funny even bushie’s brother said georgie like to “hurt” his opponent. Now we see why they are so compatible.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:35 pmHere’s another example:
In the previous thread, Democrats charge that Bush’s words are beneath the dignity of his office. Okay.
Does it in anyway enhance Democrat credibility in regards to ‘dignity’ for Biden to be calling it “bullsh@t” and Conyers to be calling for someone “to kick Rove’s ass”?
Republican’s are just as guilty, but are we talking about the Congress of the United States or the alley way behind a strip club?
If Democrats are serious about ‘dignity’, how about start showing some leadership, instead of fingerpointing that would be just as relevant in front of a mirror.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:36 pm‘A true ninja possesses a compassionate heart and pursues peace and harmony, an attitude called the spirit of ‘Ninniku’.’
I like the sound of “true” ninjas!
May 15th, 2008 at 4:37 pmAl right children, that’s enough! DO NOT feed the trolls!
May 15th, 2008 at 4:39 pmninja97 Says:
That means it’s only a matter of time before I am banned as well.
That is happening right now. Stay tuned. Last chance. Either say on topic or go! Folks, flag the troll - early and often.
They add nothing of value to the conversation, and they are here to distract and derail. I would hope he would have a more thoughtful point of view, but it doesn’t.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:40 pmYeah - that’s telling him. And if Rove doesn’t show, Conyers will … will … will … Send him a LETTER!!
THAT’S telling him!

May 15th, 2008 at 4:48 pmninja97 Says:
We’ll see how fair your “TP” really is.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
We’re very sorry you’re so disappointed that Mr. King’s bigoted posts were dropped.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:52 pmDo you have anything else you’d like to discuss?
We walk a fine line on the internet, a place where anyone can be anything they want, and trolls abound, allowed to express their antisocial tendencies without fear of meaningful reprisal. Mr.King and ninja97, both internet trolls, need this forum to vent their antisocial tendencies because in the real-world, they’d get their ass handed to them on a silver platter…
Places like Redstate and Free Republic quash dissent in a way that echoes what ninja97 would like posters to believe goes on here…voice a single liberal opinion, and people like Moe on Redstate shut you down in a heartbeat. It won’t even take that long if you disagree with the Anointed One (That’s George W. Bush). The reality is that we have to find that fine line between no enforcement (ThinkProgress of a year ago) and excessive enforcement (Redstate). Just enough to let the non-bat-$#!+-insane posters on the Right side have their say, but enough that people like Mr.King and ninja97 can’t get away with totally flooding and derailing conversation, and chasing off the regulars.
Ninja97 rails against what happened to its fellow sockpuppet Mr.King. The reality is that what I saw quoted was more than enough grounds for losing your voice in a civilized forum, so I don’t exactly feel sorry for it. I’d ask it what its’ opinions on Rove are, but I know it would just die to bask in the pale glow of Rove’s presence. After all, Rove is its hero. Maybe when the Democrats take an overwhelming majority in the House and Senate this Fall, or better, Bush is shown the door after an impeachment that may be the only way for Senate and House Republicans to reverse their fortunes, maybe ninja97 can become an hero itself…. :)
Until then, we have to put up with its crap only so far. It’s close to that line with me, and obviously crossed with others. Let’s see if it can read the Terms of Use and figure out what it must do to stay. I doubt it…
May 15th, 2008 at 4:55 pmRover arrested wow, that would make my day. About time ! I am still aggravated he was able to vote in Texas when he claimed residence in an 600 square ft cabin which he never lived in. Those who screamed either lost their job or were silenced in other ways.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:55 pmTHAT SOMEONE IS YOU, JOHN CONYERS!
May 15th, 2008 at 4:55 pmOh nineja what think you that rover had a clerk in the courthouse fired, a single mom, fired for giving out public info of his 600 foot cabin he voted illegally from ?
How does your hero stand now ? And this is just a tiny piece of his rotten, evil standards.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:59 pmJeremy in Denver,
Well said, from a fellow Coloradoan.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pmThere is simply no way a loyal American can look at what Rove has done and consider any option except treason. Rove has divided the nation like no other and he has used that division to increase the liklihood of a permanent republican majority. That entire philosophy is incompatible with the visions of the founding fathers. Loyalty to the country requires loyalty to the Constitution, fist and foremost. Rove has been acting like a king-maker - and a bad one at that.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:03 pmA whole conversation about the term whitecracker ? Good grief, well a good chastising is definitely in order for such horrible language. Consider yourself chastised.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:04 pmLooks like our mr_king is back with a new name.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:04 pmninja. I don’t try to ban anyone here, but I agree with you that just because racism is directed at white people, it’s still wrong.
People and communities should police themselves to consider racism against whites with as much distain as we consider racism against blacks.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:05 pmUpside99…your post at 21 was what made me think of David Allen Coe, so h/t to ya!
As for the idiot who said posters here don’t work, sheesh, what a moron. Dude, I probably make three times what you do so how about you go diddle yourself and get mommy to make you some din din.
I love how the, what was it, 90 some odd percent of conservatives haven’t read a book in the last year and they can say how stupid progressives are. Amazing transference.
Laughingly stupid comments.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:07 pmNINEJA - I believe you were appalled because Conyers implied rover needs a butt kicking, physical harm you said.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:07 pmWell, if anyone needed one, rover would be definitely on the list, probably right after bush, cheney.
You need to read up on your heros, rover makes me throw up.
Ninja,
He got booted for asking if Mr. Conyers would be “black enough” to run for President. That might qualify as a racist comment, at least in most circles.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:09 pmNineja I did, I did, I gave him a good chastising, didn’t you read my chastising ?
May 15th, 2008 at 5:09 pmperhaps you don’t know what chastising is, just look it up.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:09 pmTexaslady, I fear you would have to first advise him HOW to look something up before asking him to do so.
Not the brightest bulbs those “conservatives” these days. (Of course, conservative isn’t what it once was. Now it’s a bunch of stupid people who buy into the neo-con world view. Dumb and dumber all rolled into one.)
May 15th, 2008 at 5:11 pmAnyone who comes on here begging to get banned usually gets their wish.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:13 pmHey ninja, you are OFF TOPIC. This thread isn’t about you. You are being flagged now because you have about 20 comments and not one of them is on topic.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:14 pmWell I can tell that Mr. Barfly is totally devastated by being chastised so can we please move on ?
May 15th, 2008 at 5:15 pmSorry kids, in case you haven’t noticed,
Conyers has been Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.
You know what will happen. No matter how big the promises are as we charge in, it will be the same thing that happens every time.
I’m tired of the BS.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:16 pmninja97:
May 15th, 2008 at 5:17 pmWhat gives? I just read you calling people “retards” and some other carp somewhere else around here
NONE of you are willing to denounce Barfly for using it!
Listen up you little 12 year old jerk, some of us did indeed report him for that term, you should go out and play with the other children, you are looking like an idiot here.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:18 pmbarfly. I not ready to denounce you for the whitecracker comment, but I do feel comfortable asking you this question:
Cracker is a derrogatory word used to disparage white people. Similar to the ‘N’ word.
Why if it’s wrong to use the ‘N’ word, is it okay for you to use the ‘whitecracker’ insult?
May 15th, 2008 at 5:18 pmBack on topic which is is rover contemptible and should he be jailed ? I would go for tar and feathers myself. I could heat the tar.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:18 pmyou’re probably right. This is merely staged read meat for far left constituents.
There’s been quite alot of this, but with the exception of Libby, not much tangible that comes of it.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:20 pmOk backup - white cracker, color of skin and a person who tends fields for a portion of the harvest.
So how are you comparing that to the N word. Which unless used from one brother to another is a derogatory word.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:21 pmPlease let’s make ninjinpoop go away. Avoid, ignore and most of all, don’t feed the troll. I looked at his posts, and only one or two spoke to the topic. He is like the juvenile who sits in the back of the movie theatre shooting spitwads at everybody. He didn’t go to the movies to watch the movie, he went there to bother others.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:21 pmWow. Someone needs their meds toot sweet!

May 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pmI thought chickweed was a new derogatory word until my 8 year old showed me the word on Scotts Weed and Feed.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pmCome on Ninja, remember, this isn’t a popularity contest. Don’t try so hard.

I think all neanderthal connedservative rethuglicans deserve to meet the same fate as ROVE.
Reported and reported…good bye punk
May 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pmLooks like Ninja wants to be able to tell his/her buds at Mulligans that he was banned from a “liberrall” blog.

Flagged. Stop please.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:23 pmYes, yes, nineja we are all retarded and unworthy of your presence. If I were your noble self I would take myself to a site that deserved my presence.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:23 pmtexaslady, consider this definition:
May 15th, 2008 at 5:25 pmtexaslady:
Here’s a definition for the ‘N’ word: (ethnic slur) extremely offensive name for a Black person.
Here’s the definition for cracker: Used as a disparaging term for a white person.
I said they were similar. I think they are.

Thread derailed.
Good work.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:29 pmI hope to live to see the day that poppin’ fresh fat bastard Rove is handcuffed and perp walked to jail and put in a cell with Big Bubba who has been waiting for him for a long, long time. May justice be served!

Painful as this is, I have to agree. There is no way that “cracker” is a neutral term today. Maybe in 1766 it was, but it is definitely pejorative. I’m no more comfortable with that word, then I am with racist terms about black people, or homophobic or sexist terms. Or names for jews. Or reference to people being “gypped”. Or “welshing” on a bet. There’s enough tribalism and nastiness in the world already.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:31 pmMy hope is that Conyers doesn’t misplace his spine or have short term memory loss and keeps that political laser beam sight squarely between Rove’s eyes.

May 15th, 2008 at 5:31 pmCan Mr. Conyers just assume that Rove is going to ignore him and cut to the chase?

He might be watching the other cockroaches before the switch is flipped.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:34 pmConyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn’t, said Conyers, “We’ll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We’d hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested.”
If he doesn’t appear (and he won’t) declare him in contempt and have him arrested on the spot. I’m tired of empty threats!!!
May 15th, 2008 at 5:37 pmTough talk from someone who took impeachment off the table just as it became a real possibility.
Rep. Conyers, you gave the Bush Administration a free pass on crimes against humanity. Don’t go whining now about the consequences.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:38 pmgummitch. well said.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:39 pmI guess a term is how it is used and why it is used. Yankee is consider a slur of the worst kind. Or it was, perhaps not so much anymore. We have a dirty, rotten individual who needs jail time, not the Federal Pen but serious jailtime and that is what this is all about isn’t it ?
May 15th, 2008 at 5:42 pmShit ninja, you are starting to make some sense now.
I totally agree with your sentiments about KKKarl, I just have more sense than to post it. But of someone like you is stupid enough to say string Karl up, I salute you man.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:46 pmHow about we just try typing: “give it a break ya freakshow”
May 15th, 2008 at 5:47 pmTry putting a coherent sentence together. Try discussing Karl Rove and his quickly diminishing fog of invulnerability. Let’s get back on top Mr. AlbinoTriscit. Let’s discuss the issues instead of the shiny distractions Mr. Good Golly.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:49 pmAll the diversions notwithstanding, Rove needs to be in prison until he DROPS DEAD, right along side his “brain shell”, Bush.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:11 pmBESIDES the cuffs being clicked shut on this jackass by Conyers and Co., the BEST thing that could happen next is the sound of the gavel bringing to order Rove’s War Crimes trial in the Hague…along with chimpy’s….
May 15th, 2008 at 6:12 pmArn, I will settle for a fair trial. What the outcome is………
May 15th, 2008 at 6:12 pmKO had nailed it last night regarding possible war crimes.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:13 pmThe American public need to get to choose which prison not some paid off judge. No, glitzy fed pen for rover and the rest.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:16 pmThe fact that Barfly’s post remains AND he has not been banned suggests to me that TP fully supports racist attacks against Caucasian-Americans
If that’s what you are. The first rule of the internet is never believe what someone tells you about themselves without proof.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:35 pmCracker is a derrogatory word used to disparage white people. Similar to the ‘N’ word.
Why if it’s wrong to use the ‘N’ word, is it okay for you to use the ‘whitecracker’ insult?
Because I’m white, and look down on a certain sort of blue-collar racist, and I occasionally indulge in reverse-racism. What’s the matter? I haven’t seen any posts of yours condemning overt republican racism. To paraphrase Rush, can’t you brittle-cons take a joke?
May 15th, 2008 at 6:43 pmninja97- in one of your earlier posts today you mention that trolls work hard and dont spend time on ‘boards’ like these, yet you have more entries than anyone else on this thread. also, you decry namecalling while calling us names.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:11 pmDamn, it’s a good day in the ‘hood! ;-)
May 15th, 2008 at 7:32 pmbarfly. Here’s me from yesterday:
I could go back and find more if you want.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:47 pmWith all due respect, Conyers…what in the name of all that’s sacred are you waiting for?!? For pity’s sake, stop talking about it already and START DOING IT!!!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:34 pmBluestocking. It’s possible all this grandstanding (arresting Rove and Impeaching Bush and Cheney) is merely rhetoric to appease left wing radicals.
If the charges had substance behind them, Conyers (and Democrats in general) would be acting. It would be their obligation and responsibility. And it would be politically expedient.
I am actually hoping for an Obama victory and more of a substantial Democratic majority in the Congress. If that happens, any failure to act beyond ‘09 will only mean one thing; there was no substance behind the charges.
May 15th, 2008 at 10:24 pmWe live in a neo-fascist totalitarian oligarchy. Rove won’t suffer a lost night of sleep over a g*d damned thing. Get real folks. The only way things will change is when the people start demanding a due respect for their rights. And that likely will entail violence.
May 16th, 2008 at 2:08 amI’ll be happy if the Bush gangsters just leave office at the end of the year.
May 16th, 2008 at 4:52 amI could go back and find more if you want.
That’s not what I’m talking about. The “republican” modifier meant you haven’t condemned the institutional racism that republicans routinely show to blacks. Try dealing with that, before criticizing what one racist did.
My calling someone Whitecracker is only a take-off of what conservative talkers do on a regular basis, and hide behind the excuse “it was a joke, for entertainment purposes.” Your side has been doing it for years - and you just now begin to criticize when someone else does it?
Typical.

So, democrats currently don’t have the votes to push impeachment, and you think they should go ahead anyway?
Saying you hope for a more substantial democratic majority to press the administration, while saying you think the only reasons democrats haven’t pressed charges is because you think it’s politically motivated, is contradictory thinking.
Perhaps you can be more clear on you position, ’cause from here it looks like you’re being inconsistent
May 16th, 2008 at 8:10 amIf Rove had NOTHING TO HIDE, he would TESTIFY UNDER OATH to Congress.
The FACT that he HIDES behind “executive privilege” shows that he DOES have a LOT to hide–from election rigging to TREASON.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:17 ambarfly. you seem to need quite alot to disprove your mindset. I know the post was about Hagee’s bigotry in relation to homosexuals. But, from the post, you should get how I feel about bigotry and racism. And that I’m not shy about calling out republicans for either. If it were me, I’d just concede the point. But, that doesn’t seem to happen around here much.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:22 pmbarfly. I like Obama on about half the issues. And I think it’s inevitable that Democrats will pick up seats in the Congress. For those reasons, a won’t lament Democrat victories. But, I will be curious if they follow through with the impeachments, because there would (or should) be no excuse not too. If they don’t, it should be taken as a signal, that all the rhetoric was false pandering - with no substance behind it.
BTW, I’ll also be curious, how many of Bush’s policies Obama would reverse. It’s one thing to call for the troops to come home. It’s another to actually bring them home and leave a power vacuum. A vacuum that would ingnite a greater genocide that many would hold him responsible for.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:28 pmTRAITOR Rove deserves to be in Gitmo alongside GW Bush for their TREASON against the USA.
Until they DROP DEAD and join their MASTER Satan and TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan, now DEAD and BURNING…
