The President didn't know. Powel knew. His General Counsel Taft knew. Certain apparatchniks in Justice knew. They kept it from the President.Save your bile for those who deserve it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Nevermind that the jury was stacked against Libby, the biggest moral outrage in my view was that the trial got as far as it did, without the shred of any evidence aside from "faulty memory". By that yard stick, we're all guilty, if having a faulty memory is a crime.

[the Real fifi]

True--It was a complete outrage from beginning to end. That doesn't mean you should be a stupid hothead and stop supporting Republicans. Unless you want to see more of this.
Why not support Libby instead? And write to the WH and your Congress critters telling them how angry you are and how much you want a pardon for him and a revocation of Fitzgerald's appointment?

[Deo volente]

Where are the Republicans, you ask?

I think there would be a lot more Republicans stepping up if we felt that we had a conservative President to support. But sadly, we don't.

George W. Bush has become almost an anti-conservative. He seems obsessed with breaking down and ultimately eliminating our Southern border, allowing anyone and everyone to come here with practically no questions asked. There are 10,000 students from Saudi Arabia on their way here to study in our universities. I wonder how many budding jihadists are in that group?

This administration has also been one of the biggest spenders in history.
The Medicare drug plan will cost us TRILLIONS of dollar. A true conservative would never support such lunatic spending.
The president has vetoed exactly one bill in over six years, a new record low.
Not once has he fought back against the socialists who want to take over our country and spend it into the ground. He seems to want to give them just about anything they want, including unlimited amnesty for illegal invaders.

The Iraq war, which focused originally on removing Saddam as a threat to our national security, has expanded into a new crusade to bring democracy to the entire Middle East, and by extension, to the rest of the world.
This kind of global imperialism is totally opposed to the conservative ideal.
Woodrow Wilson, who was anything but conservative, would have loved it.

I will admit that he made at least one good choice for the Supreme Court, and that was Samuel Alito. And the president seems to be at least nominally pro-life.

But for the life of me, I can't find anything else conservative about the man.

[longtermmemmory]

considering the level of intelect (or lack of) at the trial court level, we have a rough battle ahead.

We need to take the law schools over.

We can't just build our own schools. We have to take over the existing schools.

We also have to assume control of lawyer regulation. Why should prosecutors have unfettered abuse power because no state bar will discipline one of their own insiders.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I don't find it so much as an outrage as I do a mockery of our judicial system. Libby should be pardoned, Fitzgerald should be disbarred, and the judge should be thrown out on his ear.

I didn't stick around FR the day the verdict was handed down and engage in wrist-slitting ceremonies, because I knew what the results were going to be anyway.

The real criminals are the Democrats.

[Doc-Joe]

But for the life of me, I can't find anything else conservative about the man.

You'll get no argument from me.

[Iconoclast2]

Right on

[the Real fifi]

Yes, they are.

"And before any Republicans on this forum get their panties in a bunch, I mean Republican politicians.

Yeah, but the author who is afraid to put his name on the article, means all Republicans are faggots, including you and me. The author and the place he writes for sure ain't conservatives.

Where is the backlash? Where are the Republicans? How the hell did we get to this point? We have had six years of a Republican in the White House. We had a Republican majority in the House since 1994 and controlled the Senate the majority of the time. And today the Republicans are slinking in the shadows. A nut-less bunch of faggots too timid to stand for what is right. Who needs these spineless saps?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I think there would be a lot more Republicans stepping up if we felt that we had a conservative President to support. But sadly, we don't.

I don't think you can give President Bush that much blame.  Lord knows, the left has blamed him for every sort of nonsense since he stepped into the Oval Office.

Who cares if President Bush is not conservative enough?  I don't.  He didnt't seek the office of POTUS running as one.

The reason Republican's aren't stepping up to bat is because most of them are gutless.  They never miss an opportunity to cower and kow-tow to the left, even when the Republicans were in the majority.

Has nothing to do with how  conservative President Bush is.  The President has gone to bat plenty of times for the Republicans.  I just don't think he's done enough to secure our borders, but that's no reason to rake him over the coals over.  Their are plenty of gutless wonders in Congress who haven't done enough to secure our borders either.

This whole thing wouldn't have happened if the CIA had gotten its act together and not pretended Plame was some deep cover super secret agent.

LYou may want to rethink calling Sen. McCain a coward.

Indeed. McCain is not a coward. A two-faced, backstabbing, self-serving opportunistic phony with a narcissistic personality disorder, but definitely not a coward.

[Doc-Joe]

Yeah, but the author who is afraid to put his name on the article, means all Republicans are faggots, including you and me.

No... the original poster was correct. It was specific to "Republican politicians."

[Eva]

It may be a call to arms, but we need a leader before we go to war with the left, and we don't have one right now.

[plain talk]

It is time for the conservative majority in the Republican party to take control of this rudderless ship.

To take control the conservative majority must have conservative politicians who can speak and persuade the masses. We have none of those right now. One has to get at the root causes.
- We need conservatives that are willing to become journalists and infiltrate the media.
- We need conservatives willing to become teachers and infiltrate the NEA (yes, laugh all you want but it is possible to make a dent in it anyway).
- We need conservatives who are smart and can debate and persuade and become elected as Senators, Representatives and Governors.
- etc etc

We have to take back the institutions from the bottom up. It is hard for a President to do it by himself and George Bush can't speak so he was handicapped even further. And he was infested with some compassionate conservative dogma crap that messed up his mind.

[Jeff Chandler]

the author ... means all Republicans are faggots, including you and me.

Nah, he obviously means politicians. I wouldn't think he was calling me a John Edwards even if I were a Republican.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Agreed. bump!!!

[BIGLOOK]

Something to keep in mind is why a reporter's memory and changes in testimony didn't carry the same weight in the jury's deliberation.


Chief, I think you nailed it. The last juror is a Woodward wannabe.
