If the law only applies to those without power, shouldn't those without power ignore the law?

Nothing seems to matter anymore in the US. The president like Nixon is corrupt. He uses the law to personally help his friends in various ways.

It distgusts me. If people like this are running America, there is no America. This sickness in America has to end by any means necessary.

Malcom X said by the bullet or the ballot. The ballot doesn't seem to be working.

Felons are usually Democrats. As Lott notes: "Michael Milken, Martha Stewart and Leona Helmsley share something in common besides being convicted felons – they are all Democrats. While their wealth sets them apart from the typical felon, their party registration is the same as most former convicts."

I believe this point was subtly highlighted when Willie Horton told the press in 1988 that of course he supported Michael Dukakis for president. "According to academic studies," Lott says, "from 1972 to 1996, on average, 80 percent of felons would have voted Democratic. An overwhelming 93 percent ostensibly would have voted for Bill Clinton in 1996."

Lott compares the voting patterns of felons and non-felons, controlling for race, age, education level, religious habits, employment, age and country of residence. Wholly apart from all these factors, felons were still more likely to vote Democratic. Indeed, in the 2004 election, Lott says, felons in Washington state "voted exclusively for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry."

With so many felons being Democrats, the party might want to think about changing its mascot from a donkey to a jailbird.

Needless to say, Democrats are neurotically obsessed with restoring the right to vote to felons. But the ex-cons themselves rarely express any interest in regaining this particular right. What ex-cons want is the right to own a gun. "Felons," Lott says, "who frequently live in poor, high-crime neighborhoods, want to be able to defend themselves."

So the evidence is in on that one, too: Preferring the right to bear arms to the right to vote (for choice), convicted felons have a superior value system to liberals.

On September 16, 2003 the CIA sent a letter to the US Department of Justice, asserting that Plame's status as a CIA undercover operative was classified information and requesting a federal investigation. Knowingly leaking the identity of a covert agent is a criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (IIPA), and the CIA is required by law to report any such possible criminal violations

Which states are liberal and which states conservative? Why is there this divide? Does it all go back to the civil war? Are there more liberal Americans or conservative ones? How is it that a country can have such a strong sense of unity but be so divided?

And why would the founders put in the bill of rights a right for the government to have? Weren't they all for restricting the government's power over the people? One would think that the second amendment would be contrary to every other right that the people retained. Well, smart people, anyway.

Look at the posts here....

The Repugs seem to be fine with Libby lieing and obsctructing justice, yet Bill Clinton was impeached for the very same thing.

Note how they hate Clinton for "lieing", yet they have no problem at all when one of their own does it.

Hmmm.....interesting.
