Libby Spared

Recommended Posts

Quote


approval numbers for the Democratically controlled Congress remain at historic lows.



I'm not really a lefty (believe it or not), but this is perplexing. I wonder - where are historical numbers for congressional approval published? I keep hearing 'historic low', but where is the history?

Assuming this is true, what would increase approval? Ending the war? Free beer for all citizens?

In this context you are... see ANYONE who is not with them on the far right... is indeed to the left of their position.. including what would normally be regular run of the mill conservatives and moderates.

When you are THAT far to the right.. EVERYONE looks like a lefty to you.:S:S:S

The fact that I was in the military (two branches), carry a gun, and have some liberal views has to just confuse the hell outta the Limbaugh crowd.B|B|:D

Here are some recent numbers.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/archive/?poll_id=18#data

As far as raising job approval - how about actually getting something done. Seems like it's all about infighting. The voters said they want new leadership in Congress. The Dems have yet to demonstrate much leadership.

Underlying message - You bums are no better than the last bums.>:(

I only did one branch,... for 8 years... have a concealed carry permit and LOVE going shooting and hunting....and drive a big ole 4x4 Dodge with a Cummins in it... and live out in the country. am fiscally conservative... and REALLY believes that the government should step up and actually live up to their claims of support for veterans... and have voted for Republicans.. really pisses off the Lush Rimjob types.. who NEVER served. have NEVER voted for a Democrat OR a Libertarian.... probably only think cops and the military and THE right wing should own guns.. and think war is a great pastime since they themselves will never have to go because that is below their station in life...:S:S:S>:(

Just as Bush has been pushing the boundaries on low polling numbers, so has Congress. The latter gets a lower value because anyone that hates 10 Members (say any lefty OR righty nut) will give it a poor rating, but half the members of the sitting President will continue to blair out how great he is even if he's eating orphan children.

They have passed legislation, have showed leadership on Iraq. But that doesn't get you past a veto.

What are you saying? That even though the Dems control both houses, they're still little more than the President's bitches?

As are approval numbers for the president (26%) and the war (22%.). And 3592 US soldiers are dead, 28,000 are wounded, violence in Iraq is increasing, and terrorism is up worldwide.

Really, it sucks being an american nowadays. I have to think that not even right-wingers are made happy by those numbers.

That WAS an answer, from Fitzgerald himself. It means that when someone lies under oath it undermines the very heart of the justice system, and is therefore a very, very serious infraction.

Just accept that they guy lied under oath, and move on. I thought Clinton should be impeached, so I of course feel that Libby deserved conviction.

Gee you're right! I don't see anything in there about gay marriage, flag burning or live via satellite medical diagnoses:D

However, don't take the fact that I think that this Congress is just a little bit better than the last one means that I support all that they do.[:/]

You still have not answered the question nor does Fitzgerald. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T and maintain your arguments point. Accept it, you are on the political side of a out of control hack.


....and I of course know he deserves a full pardon

Here, let us try it this way.

Fitzgerald was charged to find out one thing mainly (but he found out two things early on.) What was it he was supposed to find out?

I will answer for you. Who outed Plame. He learned this day one as he, fitzgerald has said. He also found out within the first week that outing Plame was not a crime.

So, if he knew who, why did he not go after Armitage? I will answer that one for you too. Because he also learned that no crime had been committed. So why on Gods green earth would anyone continue, FOR MONTHS, to keep asking questions about something when he already knew who and why not to prosocute them?


I will await an answer:S

Hack??? President Bush signed his commission.

Fitzgerald is a top notch professional with impeccable credentials, and I challenge you to show otherwise.
