Libby claims to not remember who he said what to and when. While this might NOT be a convincing defense, it is possible. But there was NO underlying crime. None, nada. Two and a half years in prison seems kind of steep to me, especially since Bill Clinton clearly lied to avoid the penalties of sexual harassment. And what did Slick Willy get for his crime? Hardly anything. No prison, didn't even lose his job. He was suspended from practicing law for several years. Now, does anyone know of a President that went back to work after being President? I submit that Slick Willy, the rapist in chief, suffered only embarrassment (if he could be embarrassed) for a flagarent crime, while poor Libby gets prison for exposing a Liar and a Perjurer, if he in fact did it.
What do you think?

Top 5 Dumbest Things in the Immigration Bill

5) Taxpayers will pay for the immigration lawyers for illegal aliens if working in agriculture.

4) Illegal aliens would be given legal status just one day after their application is filed even if a background check is not completed.

3) Gang members are eligible for amnesty if they renounce their gang status.

2) Borders do not have to be secure before the amnesty program begins.

1) $2,600,000,000,000 -- That is the cost the Heritage Foundation estimates to cover the retirement benefits of 12,000,000 illegal aliens if this amnesty bill becomes law.

Can you add to this list?

a woman?

I mean, i'm all for a woman getting a step up but the feminists that only want to vote for a woman in power scare me. Do they take so little regard for our country that they will risk putting a socialist power hungry b**** in office that suggested at a debate that the average person is not educated enough to know what they should do with their own money and that should be the government's job?

The guy being killed led to WW1 which led to WW2. That created a whole lot of separatists movements and also led to Korea and vietnam wars and so on.
Am I looking at this a little simply or do you think the 1900's would have been alot more peaceful if Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not killed in 1914??

Democrats, where will all the tax money for heath care come from when all the wealthy baby boomers retire?
Sorry for repeating myself but as most of you don’t understand that the top 10-15 percent pay 70 percent of the taxes. I'm middleclass and paid only 8 percent tax rate. The wealthy tax rates fall between 35-40 percent. Look it up at IRS.gov 70 percent of the baby boomers is supporting the budget right now. They start retiring next year, and 10 years from now there will be more retired than working. That means the rest of us will have our taxes raised to make up for the loss

Baby boomers are the top 10-15 percent of wealthy. When they retire there will be the middleclass to pay for the taxes for the boomers. Keep voting Democrat and don’t be surprised when 50percent of your paycheck is gone.

his own party is not integrated nor has females.
9 losers and Sen. McCain on stage all seeking tax breaks for their cronies.
I work one on one with a student in a wheelchair because he was shot a year ago and he loses a friend a week to gunfire.

Apparently, there are those who would like Vermont to seceed from the union. Is this a bad idea? Would it not be useful to have the Democrats divide the country into two equal sections and then let the Republicans pick the section they want? No more bickering. Each side gets the representation they want. Demsocrats need not suffer the ignominy of a George W. Bush and Republicans need not endure the likes of Bill Clinton. Everyone wins.

All headlines pointed to Republican candidates distancing themselves from Bush. What will the loyal Bushies do? This says that even people within his own party consider him a failure-mismanaging the war-over spending etc. Is this the end of the neo-con chickenhawk era?
