    Again, what do they have to hide? I'll do it if they do it.....

    And yet, he gave testimony under oath - even though, by his own admission, he lied. What does the Administration have to hide?

    You certainly seem to know a great deal about what he says and thinks for someone who doesn't listen to him.

    Like a President who is in trouble.

    Safe travels,
    BiR

    Wow: a hybrid quote - both BiR AND Rush Limbaugh.
    Let's play a game today - how quickly into the show will El Rushbo use that phrase? Better yet, how many times will he use it?

    As for wasting taxpayer money, it cannot even come close to all the money that has been lost in the war on Iraq.

    http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/30/iraq.audit/

    Again: if there is nothing to hide, and if this is a "Drive-by Media manufactured issue," then why is there such pushback from the Administration with respect to testifying under oath?

    Perhaps it's David Horowitz?

    Again why should he answer them? why do they have a right to the answers? The President should do what he is doing and not answer a thing. It is called executive privilege. It will be hard for him to get counsel from his staff if they think every thing said or done will get a supena. This is a clear witch hunt of which is petty. The dems should be embarrassed. But they know no limits in this area.

    Considering how vicious and unrelenting the partisanship of the Republicans has been, pretty much ever since Reagan, this statement is laughable to the point of hilarity.:laugh: The Republicans launched more frivilous, pointless investigations in the last three years of the Clinton administration than the Democrats combined in their entire existence as a party. At the very least, turnabout should be fair play.

    I think this is much more than mere "turnabout," however. Bush's reaction to this convinces me that the corruption in his administration must be mind-boggling, and on the level of a Watergate scandal. I've suspected it for quite some time that Bush was more corrupt than Nixon, but as long as Republicans were in charge of what was investigated, figured he was probably pretty safe, and would likely get away with it if they were able to maintain their majority through the rest of his term. Unfortunately, the incredible, almost unbelievable incompetence of Bush as President handed him half a term with the other party in power. In just three months, we're already at the door of the justice department.

    If there's nothing wrong, and everyone in the Bush White House is clean, then the President could easily have neutralized his critics by saying, "We're cooperating fully with any investigation." Instead, he throws a temper tantrum and resists investigation. He might as well have shouted from the top of the White House, "Guilty, guilty, GUILTY!"

    And the hits just keep on comin'! Imagine how many votes this has just added in favor of the Democratic nominee for President.

    Were you defending President Clinton when he was being harrassed and hounded by the Republicans? If not, then this makes you a hypocrite, something of which the Republicans know no bounds.

    It appears that the Democrats learned how to do this from the Republicans, and are now turning the tables. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Who cares?

    He can fire them for insubordination, partisan political reasons like Clinton, personality conflicts, poor performance or no reason at all. No explanation is required nor should it be.

    That's quite a simplistic view, but not exactly the case.

    Your position is rather surprising for someone claiming to be a Christian. Condoning an attitude of fair turnabout is also rather childish. Apparently you have not kept up with history concerning the Democrats. Certainly you know this is nothing new for the dems. Those of you who hate the President want him destroyed. Not because of past history but because he is against GW, Homosexuality, the murder of innocent unborn children, unnecessary government welfare programs, in short socialism which is really communism light. I find it surprising that one who calls themself a Christian would find humor in any of this.

    Every time someone disagrees with you you immediately make some back-handed remark questioning how they could possibly be a Christian and believe such things.

    What I find difficult to believe is how someone who is so judgmental and mean-spirited could possibly be a pastor, if indeed you are. Many hypocrites are also liars.

    What do they have to hide?

    Same thing they are all hiding, hoping we'll never read the small print...



    - Development of a common security perimeter by 2010
    - Implementation of a North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers
    - Unification of the border and expanded US controlled customs facilities
    - A single economic space that shares a common external tariff
    - A North American currency replacing the dollar and the peso that will be called the amero
    - Seamless movement of goods within North America
    - Labour mobility between Canada and the U.S.
    - A North American energy strategy as a regional alternative to Kyoto
    - A North American regulatory plan that includes "open skies and open roads"

    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- A unified approach on food, health, and the environment [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- A permanent tribunal for trade and investment disputes[/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- An annual North American summit meeting[/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- Scholarships to Centers for North American Studies[/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- The NAFTA superhighway, a north-south interstate trade corridor linking Mexico, Canada and the U.S. The NAFTA superhighway will bypass U.S. entryways and allow global conglomerates to capitalize by exploiting cheap labour, bypassing local union considerations, and exposing the entire continent to potential security risks. [/FONT]

    NAFTA , SPP, GATT, WTO and other trade agreements are the means by which the globalist political regime have expanded into North America. Different from the IMF, which can wield its power through financial dispensations to third world countries, these trade agreements supersede local regulatory powers, and through the force of national law, ensure that transnational interests are in a sense codified into each constitutional framework.

    It takes a lot of gall to compare honesty, integrity, leadership, and a caring about the American people between Republicans and Democrats. They are both pure filth, scum of the earth, arrogant, worldly, self indulgent pigs. They are deceitful, liars, gluttons, immoral, both parties in equal proportions. Neither cares about the United States of America or the American people.

    It is amazing a minister of the Gospel would defend such trash.

    You know what amazes me more than anything? How everyone here seems to want to hang on so badly to every litte specatcle and bit of drama these traitors can conjure up to distract us from reality. And that reality is, the very marrow of our country and everything it ever stood for is being systematically dimantled and sucked dry by all of them right out in plain sight! Right in front us.

    But we can't talk about it openly because we're all so concerned with being good R's or D's or converatives or liberals and trying to out patriot the other guy. I just find that outrageously amazing. Maybe I'm odd, I dunno.

    Never thought of it that way, but seems like a fair statement. The problem is movie stars, talk show hosts, and other nonsense occupations are empowered by what you said, the attention, and the power they hold is strictly the attention they command.

    Unfortunatly for us, although the politicians deserve our total contempt, they do have power over our lives unlike the above.

    There is very little time for the American people to wake up, put an end to the misery of the two existing parties, and their special interests, and elect people with a heart for American citizens.

    I agree but you know what? Throwing all the parsites out that infest our government and it's our government not theirs,wouldn't do any good they would just be replaced with more of the same or worse if that's possible in short order. They're only a symptom of the desease that's killing this country, we need to take on the system that spawns all the vermin. Third parties aren't gonna do it. They'll be made just as subvervient to the system as everyone that's gone before them. A great and wise leader isn't gonna do it either. They'll either be systemetized or they'll be discarded. It's gonna be up to each one of us individually to "git r done" if it's gonna get done at all.

    And now we return you to your regulalry scheduled program, thank you and good night!

    I am embarrassed by the attacks on the pasrorship of one of our posters. People need to discuss issues, not attack personally.

    Terry, you disgust me.
