I hope Karl Rove is behind the scenes orchestrating when to drop the mother load on them.< /dreaming>
Bill Clinton has adroitly used this "friendship" to help shine his tarnished image. With virtually no significant accomplishments during his scandal ridden presidency, he will do anything to achieve a veneer of respectability.
Read the first few sentences of your post.
Let's try this again..."WHY ON EARTH C(W)OULD THERE BE *ANY* JUSTIFICATION FOR SUPPRESSING ANY PART OF A (taxpayer funded) REPORT?????
There is no justification, but for our reps to dutifully report to their "bosses" their "privates must be acclimated to a higher temperature"
I think this is the root of all their "Culture of Corruption" attacks against the Republicans. It is a strategy they have used over and over again. When in danger of being exposed, accuse the accuser of the same or worse.
I admire your optimism....
Personally I have very, very little faith in any Congresscritter doing the "right thing"....And I expect what we have received in the past...party posturing, "committee's", "serious" investigations, more posturing, ad nauseum.
IOW, color me extremely doubtful. In "real life" I'm a pretty optimistic person....but when it comes to Washington D.C. and politicians in general...I'm caring less, more and more.
I'll bet you a big basket of pecans....that even IF..the full report comes out..nothing will come of it.
The fix is in.....Same as it ever was....Same as it ever was....Same as it ever was....Same as it ever was....Same as it ever was....
Dear Abby,
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and when I confront him, he denies everything.
What's worse, everyone knows he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.
Also, since he lost his job four years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does is buy cigars and cruise around and bullshit with his pals, while I have to work to pay the bills.
Since our daughter went away to college, he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I am a lesbian.
What should I do?
Signed, Clueless
Dear Clueless:
Grow up and dump him. For Pete's sake, you don't need him anymore.
You're a United States senator from New York....Act like it!!!!
I read them...Where did I denigrate anyone?
Months!! May as well said years...we the sheeple people ain't seeing all the redactions...Ain't gonna happen. LOL!!
Stonewalled......once again.
I understood what you were saying...........
Sometimes when you are taking flak...you are probably over the target.
While I share your concerns, we only need one to release the report. A nartional focus upon one ambitious Congressman with a history of independence is all it would take. Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul come to mind.
I thought there was an agreement that permitted Congresscritters to read the report and then discuss publicly what they'd read? If that is true, I'm disappointed that NONE of them have done so yet.
Why'dya think they are called the
He's Got A Plan
Zippo Hero
I think you are exactly right. The democrats are trying to set up a moral equivalency. But, it looks like the Libby thing is falling apart, as will the phony Delay charges.
Methinks such a coordinated and targeted national effort is precisely what this site is most aptly suited to deliver successfully.
I suppose there's hope........
But I'm not betting Grandma's farm.......
I really dislike sounding like a pessimistic naysayer...but even IF...the FULL report comes out...I predict it will be tractionless. If the Pubbies know anything it's this....or they fear it enough to not give the effort.
Very few of the R's have what it takes to "live" by the sword...because they know they are likely to "die" by it. Thus it will be "Silence of the Elephants".....once again.
Add Senator Tom Coburn to your list.........
Ron Paul has shown very little sign of worrying about that, nor has Tancredo. Both are re-elected by huge margins.
It's up to us. To declare defeat without an effort is to empower the wicked. I suggest you hide your ammunition. With a strategy like that, you're gonna need it.
One reason could be to wait until JUST BEFORE the 2006 midterm elections...
