LOL..... Boy you spend a hell of a lot of effort, keyboard time, cut and pasting, calling people move-oners, etc for someone that doesn't worry about what others think about Bush...... LOL.. You want to try again?.... LOL
Another furball!!!
No one can "guarantee" security. The whole concept is a non starter.
How could they sell that so that even people without a brain would buy it?
There is no trial balloon that I know of, which says, President Bush wants to replace Dick Cheney. Although Cheney's health is a real issue today, as it was in 2000 and will be in 2004! Alan Keyes isn't popular in the Bush administartion and has zero influence with the President and his key people.
The rest of your rhetoric, is trashtalk and not worthy of a response.
I guess you learned something in school, that is why that was your analysis of my point. I am not surprised that you like Bush. You two are on the same level.
Absolutely! They should be laid to rest.
Nice try.
Luis, you are apparently confused, so I'll give it to you again...
The analogy I made at 1014 was between an Illegal leaving the country and getting in line for a visa, and a bank robber laundering his money. In both cases, they've covered their tracks to avoid apprehension and prosecution. In neither case did they recieve an Amnesty.
I made this rather clear-cut analogy to illustrate the foolishness of your earlier attempt to pretend an Illegal leaving the country and getting in line for a visa is the existing "mechanism" for Amnesty.
LG: the mechanism is already there, the difference is that without 245(i) they would have to return home to apply, with 245(i) they don't have to.
LINKClearly, that's false, as is most of what you post on these threads.
I just took a trip down memory lane and reviewed some recent articles about Julie Hyatt Steele.
I see no reason whatever to believe that Steele lied to Issikof regarding an allegation of sexual assault on the part of the President of the United States.
Despite the nonsense that Steele lied to Issikof because Willey asked her to, Steele was able to beat a perjury rap.
I believe that, despite what you say regarding the "slam-dunk" that Pardongate might be, the Demoncrats will pile lie upon lie, liar upon liar, and will be aided by a sympathetic press.
Stalling, perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence... all the different tools available to the evil are still available.
The Watergate scandal would have succeeded if the judge who sentenced the original burglars had given them light sentences. This would have eliminated the need to raise hush money and the whole thing would have stayed under the radar. Even then, it took almost two years for the work of Woodward and Bernstein to ripen into the criminal case it became. If not for the White House taping system, Nixon would not have resigned.
I have come to believe that widespread conspiracies which involve powerful people and which are aided by a near majority of amoral Americans cannot be successfully prosecuted. I believe that if Bush attempted to continue the investigations of Clinton, that more of what happened would continue to happen. The defenders of Clinton voted for Gore. There are more of them than us.
I challenge you to show me even one Clinton crime which is recognized by a majority of Americans.
Don't you mean to ask, "Didn't Larry Klayman sue on behalf of his grandmother to see that she was properly cared for?"
Again, more lies, false accusations and slander, and a general poor understanding of what is written. I think that is a large part of the problem.
That was a nice way to put it. Kudos for restraint.
What else is new.
I want to thank you for posting this. It has been very enlightening.
I used to think that Bush was triangulating too. Just signing whatever came across his desk as a matter of political expediency.
After reading Bush supporters responses to the questions asked at the end of your post however, it has become pretty clear that the issues the author raises are of little or no concern to them.
To them trust is the issue. They "feel" they can trust Bush, so they are willing to trust the Gov't too so long as Bush is in charge. He has made his agenda their own.
A huge budget? its ok, Bush wouldn't have signed it unless it was necessary. Increased police powers? again, Bush says they are necessary, and they trust him, so no problem.
Those of us with concerns are the ones who misjudged Bush. He has never made a secret that he was not a "conservative" but a "compassionate conservative". If we thought otherwise then we have only ourselves to blame.
I think it was wishful thinking on my part at least. Time to wake up and see our President for who he really is. Much better than Gore, but not the man I had hoped for.
Did I call you that now banned term on this thread? I don't believe so. For those who don't know, my understanding is that the term has been banned because someone(s) found it personally insulting and hit the abuse button ... even though it was absolutely descriptive of the philosophy they subscribe to with regards to the crimes committed by the democRATS the last 9 years. PC comes to FreeRepublic, I guess.
Your feeble attempts at slamming all of us with your annoying keyboard diarreah only makes people sick of you, and your petty, tin-foil theories.
Gee. Should I take this as a personal insult? And you say I'm annoying? What SPECIFIC part of my commentary on this thread do you find annoying? It is hard to debate someone whose response is so vague. And you call what I say "tin-foil". Am I to assume then that you are going to be the first to say outright that no crimes were committed by the democRATS the last 9 years? Or are you the claiming the Bush administration has or is investigating those crimes? If so, please provide your supporting data.
Like it or not, and what everyone on the face of this earth other than you knows (and that includes Klayman), is that it's never going to happen.
What's not going to happen? You mean Bush isn't going to FAITHFULLY EXECUTE the laws as the Constitution says he is supposed to do? Surely a Bush supporter isn't suggesting that Bush and his administration would KNOWINGLY and DELIBERATELY disregard the Constitution and let serious crimes go uninvestigated and unprosecuted ... just for their own POLITICAL gain.
The political fallout of spending the greatest part of any president's term in attempting to prosecute his predecesor would be too costly, and would in the end, simply be viewed as a witch hunt.
Geeeeee. I guess you were suggesting that. But why are you focusing only on CLINTON? Why do those of you who want Bush to ignore crimes as serious as election tampering, conspiracy to blackmail Republicans and Congress, selling US secrets and access to restricted technology for campaign contributions, bribery (as in selling vetos), murder and mass murder to go uninvestigated and unpunished focus solely on Clinton? What about the MANY others in the democRAT party who also helped commit those serious crimes? Are we just to forget that many of them are still in government, the media and the democRAT party doing mischief and committing more crimes? Why focus on Clinton? Those others would have to be investigated and tried long before we ever got around to indicting a Clinton, if that were possible at all.
I think you know this, and I think that your job is to maintain Clinton in the spotlight.
But I'm not the one keeping Clinton in the spotlight. You are. You people ALWAYS mention him, and ONLY him, when the issue of crimes committed by democRATS is raised. Why is that? Are you blind to the dozens if not hundreds of other democRAT criminals? And if you are so concerned about keeping Clinton out of the spotlight, why did so many of you applauded when Bush asked him to officially represent this country in a foreign land (not far from where he got those millions of illegal dollars which were the subject of the Riady plea bargain)? As a result, all we saw on the nightly news was Clinton's face and voice ... regaining, perhaps, some of the "stature" he had lost.
There's nothing that would please Clinton more than to be able to be on national TV, day in and day out, pontificating about his innocence
Oh I don't imagine he'd be pleased to see dozens of his closest friends and supporters facing juries and being shown to have committed serious crimes. I don't imagine he'd be pleased to see one or two of them turn states evidence and implicate him, as might well happen. And is this really a valid excuse for ignoring credible allegations of crimes like murder?
(no one will ever pin anything on him, we had our chance and we let him slip away),
Only your opinion. But certainly true if nothing is every investigated. Or are you claiming that the matters I'm concerned about were properly investigated? Come on Luis Gonzalez, answer that question.
Waste another four years on Bill? You go ahead son, and good luck to you. Me? I want to forget that we had a president from 1993 to 2001.
and congratulate Bush for violating his oath and the Constitution. Right.
Tell that to your friends. As long as they state untruths and involve you, you are going to get pinged when I respond. If you have a complaint, it is with them. I know you don't like the fact that the internet has a memory and you posted things in the past that make much of what you claim to be suspect, but that's life. And if you wish to chime in on threads having to do with subjects I hold dear, you may get posted to by me. This is a public forum, I believe. If you want to hold private conversations with friends of like mind go to a chat room.
