This is a good release. And no matter the arguement and who it is from, usually I am forced to go searching for more information and end up learning something in the process. Other times, I laugh at the logic being used. This forum is so we can keep our "silly" arguments out of the other forums. If you don't like it, you could always........leave.

Yeah I knew you would say that. Here ya go. Here are more Daily Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/29/wbush329.xml Opening line: "Lewis "Scooter" Libby, until yesterday the chief of staff to Dick Cheney, the United States vice-president, has been described as "the most powerful Washington figure most people never heard of". and Times http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-1847564,00.html Both are conservative papers and both label Libby as someone with clout. Now, where are YOU getting your info that he is a nothing? All I see is your uninformed opinion based seemingly based on the idea that you have never heard of him (see quote above). Its amazing how you can glaze over sources so this can fit YOUR agenda. I could give left, right, center, top, bottom, whatever and you would just disregard I think I could throw you information DIRECTLY from the white house website and you would STILL say I have some agenda. And stop implying I am a democrat please. I am not some big Clinton supporter who thought his perjury was no big deal. But the fact is that THAT situation is gone and not coming back. The current one is that this man may have lied. Let's deal with the present please. To go the EXTREME: Do we let a guy off for murder simply because we let the last guy go? Perjury ain't murder, but last time I checked, it was still a crime. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That SAME story appears on Fox News. There is your RIGHT source for ya. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,173843,00.html Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Well, stop comparing him to the president. EVERYONE is lower level compared to him. This vice president is probably one of the most powerful in years. The guy was a MAJOR player in planning the war. He is a big behind the scenes type of guy. He has plenty of influence. I am not really certain how you can say he is not important in the political system. What? Because he is not in line for sucession of president? So the Chief of Staff for the Prez is also JUST an aide? How about vice chief of staff? You seem to be making him out to be some kind of "hey get me a coffee" intern or something. And he is not. Here is another link: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1028LibbyProfile28-ON.html and a quote from the article: "Libby was known as "Cheney's Cheney." Just as President Bush has Cheney as his behind-the-scenes adviser and problem-solver, Cheney had Libby as his trusted right-hand man. "Scooter is to Cheney as Cheney is to Bush," former Cheney aide Mary Matalin said." You don't have to get why the left screams about it. Who cares? Left and Right ALWAYS contradict themselves when it suits their purpose. Just look at Hutchinson. What matters is that THIS IMPORTANT man potentially committed a crime. Try to ignore the outside factors and focus on that. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I never said they should search. I still think a party is in poor taste. Unless the family ASKED for the party to continue, but no one has posted anything to confirm this. That is my opinion and I will stick to it. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. -
BROOKS: WHY ARE DEMS SO OVERHEATED? (opinion)

I may have missed something, because I skimmed as it was mostly about the uranium but here is a sentence I found: "The CIA concluded that the reference had compromised Plame's undercover status and asked the Justice Department to investigate. " If there is some other reference, please correct me. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. -

Okay, even of this miscommunication thing. Cuervo Island is calling my name too. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. -
All I assume is the fact that you did not respond his question. And if you would bother to read thiswhole thread, you would know my opinion on perjury by clinton or by libby. Is there a disparity between left reaction to clinton and libby? Yes. But is there disparity between right reaction to the same issues? Yes. to sum up: left wing - clinton - perjury techinicality | libby - kill him right wing - clinton - kill him| libby - perjury technicality So once again, I raelly couldn't care less about each side's reaction. That is why I did not bother to answer. Perjury is perjury. So instead, I took argument with the idea that Libby is some non-entity. Libby is NOT some low level aide. That is absurd. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I responded to a portion of what you posted that I found to be incorrect. The correct items I did not respond to. But for the record, I am not, nor I have I ever been a democrat. Or republican for that matter. Perjury is perjury. It would be great if you would not assume something about me when you obviously have not bothered to read any of my previous posts. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That is funny http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=109719 http://www.slate.com/id/2128530?nav=wp Just two articles about him. He is not low level. He was instrumental in planning and pushing the Iraq war for one. He just prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Planned. But does that matter? Are monetary and logistic concerns more important than the fact that someone died AT YOUR DZ that day? Well, if it is (and I think that is quite sad), look at it from that point of view: holding a huge party following such a death probably does not help in the ensuing lawsuit.

GTAVercetti replied to skyhigh57's topic in Speakers Corner
I agree with Kris...untrained people do not make good search and rescue operations especially at night. But to not tone down a party when someone (and I don't care if you knew them or not) died at YOUR DZ? Seems to be poor taste to me. Especially when I bet many people who were present at the party were also there during the day when it happened. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. -
With the posts around here, turn 'he' pronoun to 'you' and this could also be an explanation. Not saying its true, but it could be. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

So why is it we're paying more than $2.50/gallon?

I have been there one time in the beginning of the off season so I saw the small community. It was fun, but there was still plenty of smack talking and gossip going on...just like anywhere else. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

It may be a community but I know plenty of people who come for the day, hang out with friends, laugh, talk, and enjoy other people's company and then go home at night after jumping is over. They also refuse to get sucked into the politics of the DZ. And these are some very good SKYDIVERS. To say that someone who participates in a sport is not an actual member of the sport simply because they don't want to put up with the crap that can go on is disrespectful to the time and money they have poured into it. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I m on both Friendster and mySpace, but I rarely surf people on Friendster. The interface on mySpace is just better and faster. Friendster has better search capabilities but it just not as cool. Inanycase, Friendster is like a Yugo and mySpace is like a geo metro...neither are very cool, but neither am I. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You ignore it and make your own decisions. "Politics" at the DZ will NEVER EVER EVER EVER go away. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Regardless, holding the party was perhaps a very poor choice. edited to follow suit to leave out the politics. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. -

No there is no real debate on how SC judges are chosen outside of law professors and the like. The reason they are given lifetime appointments is so that no matter which party is in power, they can not be ousted. Therby, the theory is that they will not be influenced by the current political landscape. If every president got a chance to appoint a judge, the "above partisan bickering" would completely fall flat because at least one judge would have to go to make room for the new one. Does this theory always work in reality? No, but it does not do too badly in my opinion. An alternative that I think might be good would be term limits (say 20 years -- longer than any single presidency at least), but I am doubtful that would happen Here is a debate that occured at Duke: http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2005/04/Supreme.html Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.

I really dont. Both side look like assholes in the end. That is one of the most intelligent things I have seen today. Anyone who WANTS partisan strife is simply [part of what is ruining this country. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Here are some links about him: http://www.scotusblog.com/movabletype/archives/2005/10/alito.html Point of interest: A majority opinion in Fatin v. INS, 12 F.3d 1233 (3d Cir. 1993), holding that an Iranian woman seeking asylum could establish that she had a well founded fear of persecution in Iran if she could show that compliance with that country's "gender specific laws and repressive social norms," such as the requirement that women wear a veil in public, would be deeply abhorrent to her. Judge Alito also held that she could establish eligibility for asylum by showing that she would be persecuted because of gender, belief in feminism, or membership in a feminist group. A majority opinion in Saxe v. State College Area School District, 240 F.3d 200 (3d Cir. 2001), striking down as contrary to the First Amendment a public school district anti-harassment policy that extended to nonvulgar, non-school-sponsored speech that posed no realistic threat of substantial disruption of school work. and from Law.com http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1046288236052 Some if his views I do not agree with greatly, but I cannot expect to agree with somebody on everything. Law.com says his opinions are "devoid of passion" Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

BROOKS: WHY ARE DEMS SO OVERHEATED? (opinion)
GTAVercetti replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
The minority party, doesn't matter what you label them. Whoever is weaker. simple. Its like creationist. The MAJORITY of the scientific community believe in the idea of evolution and that our world is millions of years old...but if you listen to the hoopla, you would think there is some great schism going on. That is because the creationist, who are actually a SMALL minority, are EXTREMELY vocal. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
