Scott Mclelan says: "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."

we already know "scater" libby scated free thanks to Bush. so now- ONLY 4 PEOPLE ARE LEFT that leaked the name of valerie plame.

it's not a large group- 4 PEOPLE!!!! cant' we have them testify UNDER OATH to see who lied an leaked her name? 1 of 4? 2 of 4? 3 of 4? or all 4?? take your pick. it is narrowed down to 4 people.

For example - Any rational person knows that God does not condone Abortion . Therefore any candidate who supports Abortion is not gonna get my vote .

Do You Consider What God Taught When Choosing Your Candidate ?. . . . . .. Or Have You Chosen To Defy The Lord ?

Suppose your child is a rapist/murderer, and you are certain of his guilt. Is it your obligation to try to prevent his conviction?

Or would you take the apparently objectivist position of letting the courts decide, assuming his innocense in spite of the same evidence being enough, presumably, for you to assume the guilt of a stranger?

If he is convicted, and you accept his guilt then, should you try to bring him comfort, let alone get his conviction over-turned, anyway?

Does there ever come a point where he no longer deserves what you might give him?

if Dana Perino says this, isn't it initself an example? surely bush asked her to say this which is false information:

"The president has not and would not ask anyone to knowingly pass on false information."

so 1st bush tells scott mclelean to lie, then to further it bush tells perino to lie about lying?

figures

after all one good deserves another cover lie right?

Bad news is hyped everyday, and people are worried about the nation. But despite this, 77% of Americans are happy with their lives.....if things were as bad as the media makes it sound, wouldn't more people actually be reflecting that??

Are sixth graders too young to learn about safe sex? At what age should we teach our kids about the birds and the bees? Should schools take it upon themselves to teach our kids or should it be the parents responsibility? Lastly, should school give out birth control (in any form) to kids of all ages without parents consent?

The European Community enacts Directive 01/222 on 1 January 2006 (fictitious) that gives the rights to male employees to claim a one-month period of paternity leave after their partners have given birth. The United Kingdom has announced that they will not be bound by that directive as a 2005 Fathers Rights Act (fictitious) provides for paternity leave of 2 weeks; any more time, the UK claims, would be unnecessary and detrimental to British companies.

Four friends, whose partners happen to be pregnant, ask you to act as their solicitor. Andrew works for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Joshua, an Indian citizen, works for Uxbridge Council. Joshua is married to Christine, a French citizen who is unemployed but was looking for work before she got pregnant. Robert also works for Uxbridge Council. Finally, Simon, an Italian, works for Barclays Bank.

Christine gets really annoyed with the decision of Uxbridge Council not to give her husband one month’s paternity leave. She discusses her feelings with Joshua and the angrier they get, the more radical options they come up with; eventually, they decide to set the Uxbridge Council building on fire ‘in order to teach them a lesson’. The police arrest both of them and they are now worried in case they are deported.

Advise Andrew, Joshua, Christine, Robert and Simon on their rights

I was shocked to learn the Judge that decided the recient Evolution Case was a Beer Truck driver that Bush appointed to the bench.

What gets me is the very reason I vote for Conservative Presidents is to uphold Conservative Judical apointments and to uphold a strong rule of law.

I don't really care one way or the other about his decision.(today) But what in God's Green Earth did this guy do for Bush that got him on the Bench.

Was it a Budwiser truck. Is the ultimate Bush Beer perk to retire as a Judge.

When we listen from Libturd to neo con noise? Do you understand, really? Of which you speak? Or is this an alternative to a healthy exchange of ideas? Perhaps a DEbate?

It's a Holiday weekend. If the Indians and Pilgrims could break bread why can we not be civil?

Just curious. Open forum. No bashing, take two and sail away. Ideas? Politics.... maybe a peace treaty you researched and feel you can share. Seems we need some PEACE here. While we can only watch and report the news, we certainly do not need to add to the unrest. Aloha.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ONE AND ALL!

The 9/11 Commission stated that President Bush did NOT lie about WMD's . Check it yourself .
So why are there so many confused, distorted, and misled people who believe otherwise ? Could it be those people are lemmings for biased/lying media outlets ?
While awaiting trial , Saddam Hussein said that he himself lied about WMD's to frighten the USA and the rest of his adversaries . A gross miscalculation at the very least . However there are also reports now surfacing that when Israel bombed that nuke site in Syria recently that several of the components were from Iraq and had been smuggled across the border in the early days of the war .

But back to the point - If you ever give credence to the 9/11 Commission Report then logic dictates that you also believe the 9/11 Commission when they say President Bush did NOT lie about WMD's .

So. ... . Do You Believe the 9/11 Commission Report or not ?
And if not , then who and what the heck do you believe ?

The ruling Left Party, called CPM , has been practsing all corrupt means to clinge to POWER ignoring the poor mass in the name of 'SEZ".There's no real democracy in this State & every Election inj that State is a sham.They use their cadres (mostly crminals) to do the Job . No Free & Fair Electoral Roll ever existed there , nor, there is Free & Fair Election for last 30+ years when Communism is totally irrelevant & the Party Leaders are thoroughly corrupt.The same symptom was visible in the East European Countries when the USSR had collapsed & the Communist Leaders knew their days were numbered in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia,Ausria etc. All were busy emptying the coffer as fast as they could.The CPM Leaders are doing the same.

First of all, I know that there are Christian Democrats, and Republican Atheists/Jewish/Muslim/whatever. But, you guys know what I'm talking about. Why, for instance, does Pat Robertson support Guiliani over, say, John Edwards or Bill Richardson?

I commited a class D felony, which I plead guilty too. I was given 5 years probation, and no jail time. I have never been to jail for over 20 hours in my life. I work, and attend school.

My crime was displaying a knife at my neighbors house, he was not home but I stab at the side of his house. No one was hurt, but it could be argued it scared people, yes. I was intoxicated.

My reason for having a knife and yelling threats was because he had made his girlfriend scream in their yard the night before during one of their arguments. Added with the intoxication, I made one bad choice in my life that lasted less than 3 mins.

Ok, I have been to an inpatient alcohol rehab, and out patient treatment and classes as well.

Am I a crook? Am I a criminal? Am I never to be trusted for anything again?

Please be honest?

Thanks

I'm still not voting for Barack Obama but I will give him credit for being honest about his drug use .

Bill Clinton on the other hand is another story . His line "I smoked but didn't inhale" is the equivalent of a kid getting caught with a joint by his parents but then using the oldest and lamest excuse - "It's not mine though , I'm holding it for a friend" . BULL -S*** . Nobody 'holds' someone elses drugs for them. . . . . well unless they're also using them with their 'friend' .

And nobody smokes with their friends but doesn't inhale . What a liar .
Anyway , I'm just curious if any of you ever bought that line of bull. . . . . . and if not , then do you want 4 more years of lies from the Clinton's ?
