Does that mean that we should have affirmative action quotas? They should only investigate proportionally the sane number of Ds and Rs as are elected?

No, it means the Bush admin is using the Justice Dept. for partisan political purposes.

"partisan political purposes"

Wow!
That's never happened before.

I think it may have happened once or twice back in the early seventies.

And the 60's and 50's ............

J. Edgar Who???

J. Edgar Who???ver probably looked better in a dress than Janet Reno.

Where is the Scooter Libby thread???

It was replaced by the Dirtbike Libby thread.

All's fair in love and war. Just ask the Clinton Machine. And Dems are historically much more corrupt than Reps as well. I say we inter most of them.

File under duh.

Funk49: do you have any statistics, you know...data...to back that claim up, or do you always just pull stuff out of your ass?

Through history the dems have always been the most corrupt , as well as liars , whiners , pant wetters , phonies , brain dead ,anti-American , extortionist , communist , traitors and so on , so it is only logical that they would be investigated at a higher percentage .

understand the bushies hauled greenbacks into iquack in pickup trucks and thru it all to the wind... did any yew get some ?

But the number of Republicans convicted or making a plea far outnumber the Dems. Damn liberal Press!

Yes YAV,

All those investigation with such a high percentage leaning toward democrats and guess what, the ones who are corrupt is the republicans.

Man, I hope the republicans keep this up throughout the next two years, the house of republicans are not going to be built but ruined.

OHHH BOO HOOO go cry you baby's

You do not see dems step down they just get a higher position with the other libs.

I seem to remember Klinton unleashing the IRS after his political enemies to audit them. I didn't hear libfags crying foul back then.

I live in Hawaii and I cant even count all the scandals, corruption and criminal charges involving Democraps here.
The only scandal involving a Republican in the last 5 years I can think of was a state senator who groped an undercover cop's crotch in a public toilet just before an election.
The anti-gay, homophobic hate speech that came from the Democraps directed against this guy was unbelievable.

Hmmm, would this be the same party that delivered a "whuppin" to the GOP last November?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Nixon, Reagan, Bush

"I didn't hear libfags crying foul back then."

Yeah.

Difficult to hear with hear with an ancestry like

There are Republicans in Hawaii? Who let them in?

this is just disgusting for the retort to put all these lies on the site......
not talking about the bush administration looking into more dems.......but to think that anyone could possibly think that there are any dems at all who are not pristine and good and honest and all american citizens......I mean come on....there arent ANY DEMS who have ever done anything wrong so how can any of them be investigated for anything.......

please...............

Gotta love these bushies who use past bad behavior of dems (which they LOUDLY condemn at the time) as an excuse for the bad deeds of their boys. It's like kids: "he did it first".


Are you guys now saying that the tings your condemned earlier are now ok?

Is Clinton forgiven?

Considering the 8.8 billion dollars missing from the Iraq Reconstruction fund it could be said that all of the corruption ever committed by Democrats doesn't add up to the amount of just this one crime. Something like fourteen trailer trucks of cash disappeared. The unAmerican Republican controlled Congress wouldn't even hold an investigation. Now we read that the Justice Dept. favors Republicans when choosing who to investigate, etc. and these hypocritical righties still try to make unsupported claims that Dems are more corrupt than Republicans. I don't think they get it yet, they still don't realize that the corrupt Republicans in the Bush administration are laughing at them as they stuff their pockets with cash. Just tell them you are against gay marriage and that is all the character description simple minded fools require.

no....as usual we have to explain it a little slower....hee hee.......

as we have said on countless occasions....
we are not talking about the principals themselves but we are talking about the media and posters on places like the retort.........we are exposing the double speak two faced comments from the left.....

its not clinton that I talk about....its the complete pass that he gets from the left and others that is the usual subject...........and its that way here as well............

for instance...........what happened in LA........is there still a hundred grand or so freezers all over the place or just in ones belonging to jefferson.......
and why isnt there still a firestorm like the libby case.......WHERE HE WASNT EVEN GUILTY AND THE PROSECUTOR KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME.............

"WHERE HE WASNT EVEN GUILTY AND THE PROSECUTOR KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME...."

Libby not guilty of perjury? Not guilty of obstruction? Not guilty of making false statements?

Oh...you mean not guilty of what he's not being tried for.

'Cause in regards to what he's on trial for...he's guilty, guilty, guilty.

BL when the 8.8 billion is accounted for then I might listen to some of your drivel about Democrats. Meanwhile don't you have some egg on your face, you really ought to go clean it off.

"WHERE HE WASNT EVEN GUILTY AND THE PROSECUTOR KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME.............

Have you been following the trial? Check out his testimony? And you believe Libby did not lie to the grand jury? That's what he's charged with, you know: lying to a grand jury. It's not a misdemeanor and it sure ain't on a par with jaywalking. This is serious stuff. And you don't think there are grounds for a "guilty" verdict? Jeez, Louise, please explain.

"no....as usual we have to explain it a little slower....hee hee......." (That's what's known as a "self-retorting retort" on the DR.)


"Through history the dems have always been the most corrupt "

Explains Nixon and Agnew.

okay so finish the trial......
but shouldnt there be an investigation into this prosecutor who KNEW HIS TARGET WAS INNOCENT of the reason he was there in the first place??????
or does he get a pass because he is a democratic darling?
and at least can you say that this was not proper....or is that scorn of yours only for the right?


and surely there is a case that the defense of libby could explore.....if he is charges with lieing about a case that he wasnt guilty of and the PROSECUTOR knew it and went forward anyway.....isnt that the word....shit what is that called.......
I know that you will call me all sorts of names for admitting this.....what is it called when the cop makes you do a criminal act?......whats that called again?

anyway......I would think there is something to that in this case.......or I would at least ask the lawyers if it was doable........

"...shouldnt there be an investigation into this prosecutor who KNEW HIS TARGET WAS INNOCENT of the reason he was there in the first place?"

Stop changing the subject to Ken Starr.

"Stop changing the subject to Ken Starr."

Beat me to it!

Bushlover:

Your rants are more ridiculous than normal this morning. What's going on?

BL2, Fitzgerald could've been investigating the disappearance of Judge Crater and it wouldn't make any difference. People who are called before a grand jury expose themselves to criminal prosecution if they lie. It's called "perjury." And it's a crime.

"or does he [Fitzgerald] get a pass because he is a democratic darling?"

What, other than a kneejerk reaction, leads you to that conclusion?

Check out his bio at
en.wikipedia.org and get back when you feel like public consumption of crow.

I think the Candle Corporation of America is trying out a new blend for Sterno.

""but shouldnt there be an investigation into this prosecutor who KNEW HIS TARGET WAS INNOCENT of the reason he was there in the first place??????""

I'm really surprised to hear you say that after the $70,000,000 investigation of Clinton which uncovered nothing except to put him in the position of having to lie about a blow job. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that investigation supposed to be about a real estate transaction in Arkansas, and was Clinton charged with any crime relevant to that investigation....
but you BL...you slobbered as you watched daily grinning like a fool when he was impeached then sadly for you not convicted in the Senate.
Your hypocrisy is so obvious. You really are a simple minded tool for the right.
Do you see only in black and white???

there still a hundred grand or so freezers all over the place or just in ones belonging to jefferson.......
and why isnt there still a firestorm like the libby case

BLT: You have Republican (ex)-Speaker Hasturd to thank for Jefferson getting a walk. Him and Republican AG Gonzalez. The idea that the FBI might find out what was going on in GOP House offices musta scared the crap out of them.
Now only if Cunningham(R), Ney(R) and the rest had kept their corruption within their House offices...

jus maybe dems ain't as slick as rep at coverin their tracks-why wasn't they pursuit of dems brought up before the election
jasman

danni
how many convictions did starr get compared to walsh and fitz
jasman

yes I know that too northguy but why isnt there a weekly serial about it in the paper like there is for anything going on from the right?
and all of you can talk anyway which way you want......it still doesnt change that this prosecutor kept after libby after KNOWING HIS WAS INNOCENT.......
