Karl Rove WON'T BE Charged

[sinewave]

Oh man, Teddy Kennedy's nephew didn't say that, that has to be wrong!

you're brilliance never ceases to amaze me.

 

[War Lord]

By that logic Jonty, Clinton did nothing illegal because he wasn't prosecuted, right?

So let me hear you say it..."Clinton did not break the law"...no, not gonna say it? Didn't think so you partisan hack. Go get beat up by your nephew.

Clinton did break the law and was duly punished for it.

Here's an article dealing with some of the points.

It seems like typical spin from someone who worked for the Reagan administration...yea, he's not biased or anything.

Clinton did break the law and was duly punished for it.

But he wasn't charged, so there must've been no wrong doing.

Wait, I see your logic. If Clinton commits "perjury", is investigated, and found that there was not enough wrong to press charges, he is a criminal, but if Rove or a Republican commit TREASON by ousting a CIA agent, then it is simply an attack from crazy liberals. I see how it works.

The fact remains, politics aside, that the prosecutor is not going ahead with charges. If there was provable criminal activity, the prosecutor would be laying charges.

It's fairly simple.

Apparently Fitzgerald thought that Rove-gasp!- didn't do anything criminal! Oh no!

And unlike the liberals of the board, who seem really into gangraping conservatives, I don't need a back up team.

i'm waiting to hear it directly from fitzgerald, but if he's not prosecuted than i can only assume that it was due to a lack of evidence, not necessarily that didn't do anything wrong.

you're right you don't need a backup team. you make a big enough fool of yourself without any help.

Clinton's wrong doing wasn't sufficient for criminal prosecution, hence it wasn't necessary.

Justice was done.

the justice of humiliating him just to appease the conservatives? that's about all that happened with that lame witch hunt.

The lesson here is that it is better to be up front and take your lumps rather than try and get away with stuff.

something the republicans have yet to learn.

 

[War Lord]

something the republicans have yet to learn.

If they don't turn things around, they will be learning a few things come November.

But they have been very upfront about their intents, hence the lack of charges.

i was referring to the many scandals that have rocked their party. not to mention a few lies that were thrown out to gain support for this war.

Faulty intelligence is not the same as a lie.

I've seen no scandals worth worrying about.

no, but lying about the yellowcake in niger after you've been informed it was false 14 times is a boldfaced lie.

you're not concerned about public officials taking bribes to persuade them to vote one way or another? why not?

Because even Lazur and War Lord at least stay on topic, as opposed to you. Every thread I've ever seen you post in relating to politics (though they're the only ones I've seen you in), you've entered with a blanket statement about how mean and nasty us liberals are, and then you occasionally make asinine, generally completely baseless statements about liberals as a whole being dumb and/or hypocritical.

i noticed this post just now so i apologize, jonty, for not getting to it sooner. i've briefly scanned through it and noticed a few things i'd like to comment on, aside from the fact that it's from the notoriously right-wing wsj editorial page. i promise i'll post a proper response to it tomorrow.

You can't deny it so you call me a wiener. Okay!!!!!!

Sounds like a Bush supporter statement. I thought the intelligence for Iraq was 100% proof that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction?

Then when THAT was proven to be a false statement, they went ahead and continued with the WMD lie that cost thousands of innocent lives to be lost.

But Matt brought up a good point. Clinton lied about having oral sex with an intern; all of a sudden they want to crucify him and make him out to be this criminal. Bush, Rove, and other republican cronies were calling for him to be ousted out of office and burned at the stake.

But anytime Bush, Rove, or Dick are exposed it's some crazy media liberal attack from Mars.

I can't wait for you republicans to get a taste of your own medicine.

Hey, I do NOT find internet message boards physically attract....


Oh, you meant to claim I'm a crybaby of some sort. I see.

 

[maxwell's demon]

who is this young pup: "cass"? can someone fill me in?

...i find him and his worldviews intriguing.

Meh, he would've just got pardoned.

Yeah, that's my only hollow comfort in this. That and knowing that with Fitzgerald at the helm, at least we had a straight shooter looking into it.

I mean, all these people who think Kenneth Lay's conviction is big are niave. He will be pardoned at the end of Bush's term. Libby probably will be too. Liberty is quickly becoming an illusion used only to keep the masses in line.

matt depresses me with his further honesty and insight
