How many times did Reagan invoke Executive Privilege (I honestly don't know and for what reasons). Executive Privlege has been around for a very long time and should be used very sparingly. If we had ethical people that knew how to keep their mouths shut instead of showing up on every TV cable show about what their committee is doing, maybe it wouldn't be necessary to use it!
So those emails you have are worthless or isn't a person allowed to change their opinion when they get more information. BTW pardongate was about clinton not GW!
As for defending GW on everything, you won't see me defending too much the education policy which I don't particularly like. My kids have had too many standardized test as it is! Also don't believe throwing more money at public education is going to solve the problem!
Yes...I've noticed. And I'm sure you've got yer reasons.
"That is when Burton really got my dander up! I personally don't agree with executive privilege, but I also don't agree with Burton's leaking which came out in force during pardongate."
Has that been proven? I remember the Clintonoids accusing Starr and Burton of leaking stuff, but it ended up that the Truth was that Clinton was doin' the leaking. If you've got a link that backs up your allegations, I'd be quite appreciative.
"If I hadn't had my blinders on with my total dislike of the clinton administration, I would have looked at Burton differently then too. I have changed in a lot of areas and some of it came about during the pardongate hearings! I saw absolute grandstanding on the part of Burton and didn't like what I saw."
You call it "grandstanding", but I call it trying to get a message out to the American Sheeple when the Vast, LeftWing Media Whore'd was doing everything it could to IGNORE MAJOR CRIMES being committed at the Highest Echelons of the Federal Guv'ment. IMHO, Burton's one of the good guys...sorry to hear you disagree.
"Like I said, I don't particularly agree with Executive Privilege but Yes I have changed when it comes to Burton and it has nothing to do with GW."
Okay...I'll take you on yer word; however, Good Guv'ment is Honest Guv'ment, and how can we tell if a Branch of the Federal Guv'ment is being honest if they are so quick to hide documents that explain the reasoning behind their decisions? I am sure Clinton took bribes from some of those he pardoned...that is patently ILLEGAL!!! Why shouldn't we have access to documentation that proves this crime?
"How many times did Reagan invoke Executive Privilege (I honestly don't know and for what reasons)."
I don't know and I'm not sure exactly how it applies to our discussion.
"Executive Privilege has been around for a very long time and should be used very sparingly. If we had ethical people that knew how to keep their mouths shut instead of showing up on every TV cable show about what their committee is doing, maybe it wouldn't be necessary to use it!"
Woah...so now you're saying Congress should have access to this non-National Security info, but not us lowly Sheeple?! Yes, ma'am, you HAVE changed.
"So those emails you have are worthless or isn't a person allowed to change their opinion when they get more information."
My FRiend, I wasn't about to make our private conversations public...you oughtta know me better than that. Still, I go back and read the conversations you and I and Paul Cruce and others had, and I don't recognize you these days. Sure, folks change...but blind allegiance to any Party is never a good thing, IMHO!!
"BTW pardongate was about Clinton not GW!"
I'm perfectly aware of who the REAL Enemy is here...but thanks for the clarification all the same.
"As for defending GW on everything, you won't see me defending too much the education policy which I don't particularly like. My kids have had too many standardized test as it is! Also don't believe throwing more money at public education is going to solve the problem!"
Well, we certainly see eye-to-eye on that Fiasco...and I think Dubyuh did an amazing job getting the tax cut passed and in dealing with the Stem Cell Research issue. In fact, there's very little I choose to chide Bush II about, if you wanna know the Truth. Still, I almost think those of you who are unwilling to point out--to Dubyuh--when he's missed Left of the mark...well, IMHO, you're doing Dubyuh a dis-service. I respect loyalty as much as the next guy, and believe me, I still consider Dubyuh to be MY GUY in the White House, but he's surrounded by a bunch of Moderates and he needs our Constructive Criticism as a Spine-Stiffener!! "YesMen" need not apply.
Utmost FReegards, my FRiend...Steve
