The House Judiciary Committee has put out a report on White House abuses, focusing on the Downing Street Memos and other evidence of lies, manipulation and deceit by the administration to get us into the Iraqi invasion and occupation, torture in Iraq, and the secret surveillence and other civil rights violations of US citizens.

Conyers' Report out

I should mention that this is a Minority report.
-
Here's a excerpt:
-
Bush has more than a casual interest in the outcome of congressional elections this year.
Count on him pulling out all the stops, to keep from a full Congressional investigation. -
-
'Conyers has created what might be called the definitive left-wing blogger’s history of the Bush administration. “I would like to thank the ‘blogosphere’ for its myriad and invaluable contributions to me and my staff,” Conyers writes in the report’s introduction. “Absent the assistance of ‘blogs’ and other Internet-based media, it would have been impossible to assemble all of the information, sources and other materials necessary to the preparation of this report.”...
'Conyers’s 1,401 footnotes, which include citations of authorities ranging from the left-wing conspiracy website rawstory.com to the left-wing antiwar sites democracyrising.us and afterdowningstreet.org to the left-wing British newspaper the Guardian to the left-wing magazines The Nation and Mother Jones to the left-wing blogosphere favorite Murray Waas to the New York Times columnists Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, Bob Herbert, and Frank Rich to former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal to the New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh.'

In other words, Conyers' staff has cobbled together dozens of opinion pieces from bloggers and left-wing pundits and then called it a report. -
Rawstory.com is not a left-wing conspiracy site, it's a left-wing exposé site - they often provide photocopies of documents - original sources - in pdf format to back their claims. The report also cited FoxNews.
You might want to just skim it before dismissing it.

He's a Bush hating political hack from way back without an unbiased bone in his body. -

Politics is a tough game . It has been reduced to destroy or be destroyed. The dems have hit the barrel. -
-
Let's just say that Bush is praying the democrats don't take the House or the Senate this fall.
Investigators able to subpoena witnesses and evidence would be his worst nightmare. -
-
In his spare time, I believe Conyers should come out with another report. This one explaining why his taxpayer-funded aids were required to babysit, tutor and put to bed his children, in addition to chauferring him to private functions, fixing dinner, and helping his kids with their homework.

Bush will come out unscathed. The country will suffer. -

All this hoopla isnt about actual misconduct by the President. It is about the 08 election. The liberal attack plan is to tie the Republican party to constant corruption. Try to make repubs to look as if they are so corrupt that they need to be kicked out of office.
It is a hypocritical move that is going to back fire on them and has already begun. They are relying on the same pollsters who said that Kerry was ahead in the 04 election.
This whole call for investigations on very shakey grounds is all about power. The socialist communists want it and they are willing to lie, misdirect, misrepresent, and what ever other underhanded thing they can come up with. In their world the end always justifies the means. You know those beloved grey areas. -
Yep, all those Americans who are disgusted with corruption are socialist communists.
Both parties are guilty, of course, but the GOP has embraced corruption to an unprecendented degree. We've got very lowered expectations for our leaders, but not that low, I think.
This one won't just be about adultery in the oval office. -
You're black!
Sincerely, Mr. Pot

Weisenheimer? Calling your fellow posters names is so childish! :tongue3:

Btw, that particular bad argument is known as "Tu quoque!" - which means, "You too." In other words, if Conyers was a mass serial killer, responsible of upwards of a hundred thousand deaths, it still would not affect the validity of the Report.
