1 Surprises me that lefturds would complain about Bush's soon to come pardon of Libby. Bill (BJ) Clinton was handing out pardons like candy at Halloween. Most for far worse crimes. Drug dealers, etc:

2 The population of the United Staes has always been about equally divided between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Bush has continually pushed the Independents over to the Democrats, all he has reaining is his 33%. Libby's commutation will not help the Republicans win back any of these Independents.

3 John,

Bush isn't running in 08.  And 50% of people polled said they wouldn't vote for Hilary.  So who's pushing the independents away now?

4 John Ryan - you are absolutely correct.  By supporting Bush on this they can no longer call themselves "the law and order" party.
 
This article comments on the crowd that continues to see Libby as a "victim:"

"So how to dispose of the legal process that was commenced against Libby? The answer was simple: politicize it. Insist that every step taken against Libby was a part of a political vendetta. Granted this required some ingenuity—after all, the prosecutors and judges involved were Republicans or at least Bush appointees. But these are inconvenient truths, easily swept aside—and the arguments ricocheted through the pages of Neocon journals through yesterday, when the July the Fourth fireworks came out prematurely. Perhaps they were simply too absurd to be joined, but I salute Orin Kerr who yesterday offered some of the most penetrating analysis yet of the delusional criticism that comes from the Neocons:

The Scooter Libby case has triggered some very weird commentary around the blogosphere; perhaps the weirdest claim is that the case against Libby was “purely political.” I find this argument seriously bizarre. As I understand it, Bush political appointee James Comey named Bush political appointee and career prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate the Plame leak. Bush political appointee and career prosecutor Fitzgerald filed an indictment and went to trial before Bush political appointee Reggie Walton. A jury convicted Libby, and Bush political appointee Walton sentenced him. At sentencing, Bush political appointee Judge Walton described the evidence against Libby as “overwhelming” and concluded that a 30-month sentence was appropriate. And yet the claim, as I understand it, is that the Libby prosecution was the work of political enemies who were just trying to hurt the Bush Administration.

I find this claim bizarre. I’m open to arguments that parts of the case against Libby were unfair. But for the case to have been purely political, doesn’t that require the involvement of someone who was not a Bush political appointee? Who are the political opponents who brought the case? Is the idea that Fitzgerald is secretly a Democratic party operative? That Judge Walton is a double agent? Or is the idea that Fitzgerald and Walton were hypnotized by “the Mainstream Media” like Raymond Shaw in the Manchurian Candidate? Seriously, I don’t get it. "

5 What a surprise!

Its an invasion of the 16%ers! Keep up the great work, Donk fanboys.

At this rate, your Congress will be at 0% by September.

6 James Comey named Bush political appointee and career prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald

Bo,

you are either a liar, or dumber than dirt.  Fitzgerald is not a "Bush political appointee", numbnuts.  And Coumey has never been a friend of the administration.  Cuomey is a Liberal.  His appointment to Deputy attorney general you can chalk up to Bush's misguided desire to reach across party lines.

Since the beginning Comey has been a thorn in the administration’s side on War on Terror
policies, favoring kinder treatment for illegal combatants than he had
for Martha Steward (Cuomey prosecuted her), and making waves over the NSA’s Counter-Terrorism
data-mining operation. Bush considers him a Liberal.  Comey gleefully appointed his pal Patrick Fitzgerald, a kindred
spirit sharing every bit of Comey’s liberal politics and lack of prosecutorial inhibitions, as special prosecutor.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY !

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !

USA, ALL THE WAY !

8 And how quickly the liberals forget when BILL CLINTON granted clenemency to those porto rican terrorists

Clinton issued 140 pardons. Clinton is a liar and so is his rotten wife.
 
 
 
 
 
BO: You're are a paid political hack. Nothing more. For a while I thought you had a brain and would look at both sides. You have failed in that. Anyone who can excuse Clinton has a blind eye for reality. Your endless blubbering. Is getting old. You know longer have anything of Interest to say.  Just the same old bullshit. Anyone who sits and ignores Clinton's behavior is a one sided idiot. So time for you to fuck off.
 
 
 
 
 
Time for all to ignore Bo's one sided ranting. I for one will ignore his comments. Shame that a man turns himself into a whore. Only interested in getting paid.

10 Greyrooster,
 
I don't get paid one cent for my activism.  I don't quite know how to prove that to you...I guess you'll just have to take my word on it.
 
I don't waste my time with Clinton.  He is not in power.  I will say this however: he was if nothing else a self made man.  I respect any leader who can pull it all together without a slush fund.
 
I also by the same token respect Reagan.  He knew America's limitations - never once directing enemy number one directly.  He used soft power and the influence of his office to build alliances and defeat communism.
 
Bush, on the other hand, is a silver-spooned chickenhawk, faux Christian, who has weakened America, allowed the neocons to assume political power, and gotten us stuck in a quagmire from which we cannot easily remove ourselves. 
 
Happy Independence Day!!
 
 

11 Bush, on the other hand, is a silver-spooned chickenhawk, faux
Christian, who has weakened America, allowed the neocons to assume
political power, and gotten us stuck in a quagmire from which we cannot
easily remove ourselves.

We don't fight military battles on the standard of "can we immediately surrender if we get scared?" That's how liberals fight - not how Americans fight. Iraq is not a quagmire - it is a low-intensity conflict that has the
lowest casualty rate of any major US military operation in history. We're still in quagmires in South Korea and Germany, so by your logic, we should have abandoned the reconstruction and protection of those countries. It would've been 'easier' to do so.

Bush flew hundreds of hours in fighter jets in the TANG. Clinton smoked pot and dodged the draft in Europe. The "neocons" is code for the Jooos - stop being anti-Semitic.  Yes - we will talk about Clinton, unless you agree never to talk about Bush after he leaves office.  Which won't happen. As for Bush's religion, you have no evidence or standing to determine who is  Christian and who isn't. Clinton, on the other hand, was a deviant, a pervert and a serial liar who had no religion.

See the difference? I know you don't.

12 Clinton a self made man. He's never had a job in his life.

13 Whoops! I goofed. He had a blow job.

14 Bo: If you tell me you are not paid. I will believe it. Should have answered the question before and avoided the issue. This blog is composed of many closed minds. On both sides of the issue. Myself, I am anti-black because blacks in my community are anti-white. This makes me a racist, bigot, nazi, bla, bla, bla. I say blacks and muslims should be held accountable for what their people do. The politically correct and cowardly disagree. Many here say I have a closed mind on the subject. I say they do. I also say you have a closed mind. I also believe many who claim to be conservatives are in reality liberals by nature. Many (like Rusty) have the same old 60's mindset. This I do know. Neither side will ever come up with a solution to the muslim problem. Which is/was what this blog is about. You and John Ryan will never change your minds about anything. Neither will I. Now back to the real world.. Fuck you stupid lefturd prick.
