The investigation into a serious matter was blocked by Libby and now we may never know the truth .
These are crimes and regardless of how corrupt Clinton or others may have been in the past it is still the people of this country that are cheated once again .
If San Fransisco lets all its pot smokers and dealers off the hook does that mean that Miami should do the same .
What happened to the law .
I mentioned Libby getting off and people immediately started to mention Clinton .
Like that really has anything to do with this . Two wrongs do not make a right .
Two wrongs do not make a right .
Our government no longer operates in the best interests of the people .
Crimes are committed and no one pays the price .
Yet poor hard working border guards are sitting in prison and a drug dealer is out on the streets .

Talk about a double standard .

Once again ,as is all to often happening lately, I am ASHAMED of my leaders .

Or would that be another exercise in futility, as my representative is a nutjob? I wonder how Valerie Plame feels about this, as it was her life put at risk?

Bush, Feb 2004 - "If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of."

Apparently, he was using that phrase literally, and not figuretively.

What did he do and why is he free now?
And why are some of you surprised that Bush is nice to his friends? He has so many he has to thank for being elected and honestly I think he does not give a s&^%$ about what peole think about him or his policy.

What is wrong with our politicians that they think that you have to provide a legal status to criminals before they enforce our current laws? Maybe if they're that brain dead, we should look to find some more intelligent politicians to represent our country. Any suggestions as to who will do a better job in the upcoming election?

Do we still have any voice in congress or are the politicians just doing as they please ignoring the people .
Support for democrats is falling support for republicans is falling contributions now come from special interests and not the people as was once the case .
We can no longer buy a politician its seems and our votes to elect them are ignored it seems .
We elected the democrats for one reason . Stop the war .What have they done ? Nothing .

I roared with laughter this AM when I saw her pontificating last night about how Bush's commutation of Libby's sentence was an example of "cronyism". Her audience lapped it up like dogs licking anti-freeze off the driveway, even though her husband Bill was squatting on the stage a few feet away.

You kiddies who are too young to remember should know that her husband issued no less than 140 full pardons on his final day in office, including one to his own half brother Roger Clinton and one to a money launderer who paid Hillary's brother Hugh Rodham $200,000 to represent him.

What I mean is, why doesn't the President of the United States go to wherever the American Government meets every Wednesday and answer questions about the country, like in the UK? Are they afraid they'll mess up? Because the whole point of the Prime Minister's Question Time is to test how skilled the Prime Minister is at dealing with queries and issues. Why doesn't the President do the same?? To be honest, I can't see George Bush coping with it. But I'd like to know! Thank you!

Do you believe it was right for President Bush to essentially pardon him? What effect (if any) will this have on the Bush administration? Does this change your opinion of government?

As a liberal, I'm with the latter. I think there are certain things only a democratic government can do best.

For example, printing money, holding armies, serving justice (police, courts, prisons), giving every single citizen the opportunity to get educated regardless of the social class they were born into, ending child labor, owning highways and public parks, and stopping private corporations (controlled by only a hanful of people) from abusing workers, scamming the consumer, and polluting the environment.

just want to know why everyone is so angry over the war in iraq? i asked some questions about troops in iraq, and people get so bent out of shape, is it because i dont care about the so called sacrifice? or is it because people understand that many people dont care about the so called sacrifice? i am willing to bet after this war is said and done, that we will have a terrorist attack as big if not bigger than 911, it sucks to imagine but i dont see this war helping anything.

When cons were criticizing Clinton for every little thing when he was president, Democrats didn't resort to the treason card like cons do all the time.

Let me put it another way. Cons accuse libs of hating America because we see problems that need fixing. For example, Micheal Moore on healthcare. Yet, conservatives do the same thing. They're always criticizing some aspect of America whether it's the universities, professors, teachers, scientific organizations, popular culture, hollywood, historians, secularists, humanists, feminists, etc, etc,

And yet liberals DO NOT resort to accusing conservatives of hating America.

LET ME ADD THIS:
Imagine if people decided in the past that America had reached its pinnacle of excellence and no more change was required. Slavery would have never been eliminated. Women and minorities would never have gotten their equal rights and things like interracial marraige would still be illegal.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot I’d like to see how the republicans can find a legitimate reason ( not a political one) that can justify the freeing of a criminal who has recently been tried, found guilty by a jury of his peers, convicted, and sentenced for that crime?

With all the pissing and moaning about the Clintons and the legal issues they dealt with. Some of have you republicans and made it a hard point to post comments about it on here. So step on up gang and prove me right. Be hypocrites, spout off about your one-sided definition of what justice is and how the rule of law only applies if it is in favor of the republican agenda, OR you can shock me and agree that criminals who do get caught breaking the law should go to jail?

Libby urinates on the law and is cheered by his political party for it. Bush, defecates on the criminal justice system and frees a convict for no other reason other than honoring a code of flip flopping ideals of justice.

Why not a full pardon? Libby still has to pay a $250,000 fine. How do you interpret this?
