If Bush Has Nothing To Hide Why All The Executive Privilege& Refusal To Testify?

Question

The conservative GOPs here are always saying...."Why are you worried about telephone wiretapping if you have nothing to hide?"

Could someone please ask Bush/Cheney the same question when it comes to testifying under oath?

Answer 1

George W. Bush has lots to hide!
Illegal wire tapping.
Torture of prisoners never before condoned by the United States.
Secret meetings of business executives.
Billions of dollars wasted in Iraq for ill concieved plans to improve infrastructure that were never implemented but paid for.

Answer 2

Because the Dems (primarily) in Congress are trying to block the Bush administration from getting ANYTHING done during the rest of their time in office with these "harrassing" hearings that have no substance...and what's worse they KNOW it!

I'm very angry with Bush about a number of things, but this type of partisan politics is NOT good for the country.

Answer 3

Clueless;
Why don't you stop being a coward and ask the same of the democratic leadership? What Bush is doing is 100% LEGAL.
The he** with the law just cry, whine, bit**, and moan.
If there was any real basis for this crap then you might have an argument.
How likely is it that the democrats would give the republicans the same access to their records? Not in a billion years!

Bush voted for Clay Aikens. That's why he signed 1 billion signing statements. Boy that Bush & Clinton thing is like bread and butter.

Why act like he does it all the time ?

Clinton tried using executive privilege twice to protect info from criminal proceedings, just like Nixon.
