		<description>&quot;Nice job on the name calling. I have offered you this counsel before: employers don’t go for that&quot;

You needn&#039;t worry as I&#039;d never work for you anyway.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Honora the libby-dem troll lied: “And the economic stuff–let’s see, dems in Congress for 2 months, and the economy “tanks” and this is their fault?”

You’re lying. The economy hasn’t tanked. But the minute that the Treason Party repeals the Bush tax cuts, it will.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hey consultant boy:  I was quoting W Amos&#039;s statement on the tanking.  This is what the quotation marks indicate.  Duh.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Point 1: Clinton inherited a GROWING economy from Bush 41, not an economy in recession. As usual CLINTON, the Treason Party’s nominee, LIED with their nifty “slogan.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No he did not.  Do you not recall why Bush pere raised taxes ?  And by the way &quot;Point 1&quot; implies more sequencial points.  If you&#039;re going to post, put down the want ads for a couple minutes.

Nice job on the name calling.  I have offered you this counsel before:  employers don&#039;t go for that.  And also, and I hate to pile on, but your attention to detail, as seen above, well, work on it.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know why the Republican&#039;s don&#039;t start every statement concerning this matter with, &quot;When Clinton fired the 93 prosecutors . . . .&quot;  Holy cow, if you&#039;re going to give them sound bites, make them meaningful.  This garbage of, &quot;Oh, goodness, I think some mistakes were made . . .&quot; is making me sick.  All you have to do is continually start every single statement with, &quot;When Clinton . . .&quot; and after a while, the MSM will get the hint.  This is within the Executive purview.  Nothing illegal or unethical went on.

But the Bush White House is constantly rolling over, constantly navel gazing, constantly &lt;em&gt;acting&lt;/em&gt; guilty.  It&#039;s time to fight back.  The AG should subpoena Harry Reid&#039;s real estate agent, Pelosi&#039;s vinyard manager, William Jefferson&#039;s Maytag repairman, Kennedy&#039;s swim instructor, H. Cinton&#039;s lard-butt brother.

The Dems are fighting dirty and the Republicans are worried that they might ruin their manicures.</description>

		<description>Bush has to hang tough.  He has precedent on his side:

The Congress v. Andrew Johnson case, which sustained Johnson&#039;s unlimited right to dismiss executive branch political appointees.

Myers v. US (1920&#039;s)

		<description>My 2 cents:

POTUS should:
  1. Fire eight more attorney&#039;s just for the hell of it and keep firing eight a week just to stir the pot!
  2. Pardon Scooter immediately.
  3. Threaten to bomb Iran as they are a threat to the US.
  4. Start DOJ investigations on all subversive and corrupt Democrats.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Especially when they understand that Clinton fired all the attorneys and it is the right of the president to do so. 

Rose on March 21, 2007 at 3:56 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, but watching the MSM you&#039;d think that this current round of firings was an unprecedented move.  

As for Bush fighting the subpoenas and subsequent investigations, I find it interesting that many, if not all of the Dem congressional leaders that are pushing for this were fighting any criminal investigation of one of their own (Jefferson) not too long ago.  In fact, they claimed that they policed their own, and any such investigation would be overreaching by the executive.  

The fact of the matter is that a criminal investigation (by feds) of the administration is really a part of the executive investigating another part of the executive (until it gets to the courts - then it involves the judiciary).  A congressional investigation, like the one the Dems are trying to push, appears to be a clear violation of the separation of powers because the subpoenas issued are for testimony before congress.  It&#039;s so obvious that this is being done for purely political reasons.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Again I will state that the Democrats ONLY plan for the American people is to run endless investigations and waste millions doing and screw the american people. 

William Amos on March 21, 2007 at 4:07 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What do you expect?  The Dems have no plan - they haven&#039;t had one since the 60s.  Every so often, they re-name that plan and try to sell it to the people again (as a new plan).  The last couple of elections, the Dems have run on Bush-bashing and &quot;culture of corruption&quot; allegations (while doing their best to keep all their skeletons hidden in the closet).</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;It&#039;s time to go to war with these people. The Democrats, the media, all of them . &quot;F*ck you and the horse you rode in on&quot; should be the operating premise of the administration from this point on, and Bush should begin engaging in the most ruthless of political tit-for-tats, ordering his inferiors to not spend a dime of money for earmarked projects in Democratic districts, etc.

It&#039;s called politics, assh*les.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s time to get busy.</description>

		<description>AP, your scenerio only works if the Republicans follow your plan.  How about a campaign showing the Dems of being obstructionists, and grand-standers.  Charge them with a crime if you think they have done wrong, otherwise listen to what they have to say.  Draw the analogy to Whitewater they so hated, wasting millions on something that the President has every right to do...93 vs. 8.
If the president shows some Malkins than he can back them into a corner.
The public does not want these things drug out, and in dragging out will show the most exteme elements of the lefts party.

Lets get the promise of every Democrat running that they will not &quot;fire&quot; and attorney without senate consent.  These are the points Republicans will begin to make.
This can be a victory for us, if they don&#039;t listen to you.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We are on the verge of losing a war run under the auspices of one George W Bush. You know, the Commander in Chief.

And the economic stuff–let’s see, dems in Congress for 2 months, and the economy “tanks” and this is their fault? Your grasp of economics is a bit tenuous to put it kindly.

I remember when the GOP was not the party of excuses and whining. Let’s see if I have this right: W takes over from Clinton with a recession beginning (whine, whine, whine; curiously no mention of the economy Clinton inherited from Bush pere–you remember, “it’s the economy, stupid”); economy does well under Bush, a natural decline begins, and it’s all the Dems fault (whine, whine, whine). Talk about Bush needing to grow a pair. Ye gods.

Tell me Honora what are the democrats so focused on right now ? Its all about losing the war and bashing GW. I havent seen one inititive from them to help the economy.

Again I will state that the Democrats ONLY plan for the American people is to run endless investigations and waste millions doing and screw the american people.</description>

		<description>When Gingrich and the rest of congress closed down the government to prove a point with Clinton the public blamed the congress.  I don&#039;t think the public sees these hearings as anything more than a waste of time and money.  Especially when they understand that Clinton fired all the attorneys and it is the right of the president to do so.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;One good subpoena deserves another.

Now would be an ideal time for the Attorney General of the United States to grow some big ones and finally send out a boatload of subpoenas to investigate the treasonous acts of the NYTimes, LATimes, WaPo, Cindy Sheehan, John Murtha, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy et al, for revealing intelligence secrets and aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war.

Yeah, I know …. wishful thinking. 

fogw on March 21, 2007 at 3:01 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, probably so...but, I like the way you think, fwiw.  Alas, I doubt we will ever see it.  Why do we even have these laws if there is no consequence to breaking it? 

Meanwhile, these show trials/fishing expeditions go against the very fabric and principles on which our Republic was founded.  People like Leahy and his Dem cronies don&#039;t care about the country at all.</description>

		<description>I think that the Bush administration thought that the truth would prevail regarding Libby and it didn&#039;t and now he is facing prison time.  I don&#039;t think Pres. Bush is willing to let that happen again with Rove and Miers.</description>

		<description>Honora, the libby-dem troll wrote: &quot;We are on the verge of losing a war run under the auspices of one George W Bush.&quot;

You&#039;re full of crap.  So typical of you liberal democrats.

Honora the libby-dem troll lied: &quot;And the economic stuff–let’s see, dems in Congress for 2 months, and the economy “tanks” and this is their fault?&quot;

You&#039;re lying. The economy hasn&#039;t tanked.  But the minute that the Treason Party repeals the Bush tax cuts, it will.

Honora serial lying troll wrote: &quot;Let’s see if I have this right: W takes over from Clinton with a recession beginning (whine, whine, whine; curiously no mention of the economy Clinton inherited from Bush pere–you remember, “it’s the economy, stupid”)&quot;

Point 1: Clinton inherited a GROWING economy from Bush 41, not an economy in recession.  As usual CLINTON, the Treason Party&#039;s nominee, LIED with their nifty &quot;slogan.&quot;

The bottom line (since we&#039;re talking trash economics here)&quot; DEMOCRATS SUCK!

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Eh, I think the left wins here just by forcing Bush to take it to court. It makes him look like he’s covering up even if he isn’t, and it gives them an opportunity to brandish those Nixon comparisons they like so much.  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, they don&#039;t win anything here at all.

The prize is (1) a perjury trap, and (2) trying to impeach and remove the President of the United States.

The Treason Party will obtain neither because &lt;em&gt;Nixon&lt;/em&gt; was concerning A CRIMINAL CASE AND COVERUP, not how the President internally decides to remove a US Attorney.  The Supreme Court will almost certainly not hear this case as it is &lt;strong&gt;POLITICAL&lt;/strong&gt;, not CRIMINAL.

DEMOCRATS SUCK!</description>

		<description>George may come to appreciate the fact that Roberts and Alito were pretty good choices.

Does anybody know who the top picks to replace Gonzales would be? Just in case.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m holding out a &lt;em&gt;tiny &lt;/em&gt;bit of hope that he&#039;ll do something about this.  He has a capacity for subtlety that few give him credit for.  One example; the Blanco-Katrina-FEMA mess.  Bush prevented that from happening again not by embarrassing her publicly and holding the Dems feet to the fire as they deserved, but by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/19/opinion/19mon3.html?ex=1172638800&amp;en=eda1e7a9e4fbc436&amp;ei=5070&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;making martial law easier to implement&lt;/a&gt;.  Problem solved, albeit not in a way that I think is wise overall.

Same for Iran; he&#039;s dug his heels in on that and exerted pressure in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/009001.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ways that are not immediately obvious&lt;/a&gt;.

So maybe he has some plan to resolve this that won&#039;t satisfy political partisans like me, but will prevent the next two years from being one long fishing expedition for the Dems.  Maybe.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The US is on the verge of losing a war that the democrats want to lose for us. Our economy is quickly tanking under the control of the new democratic congress. Housing and the stock markets are declining.

And the democrats answer to all this ? BDS. That is all they have to offer the American people and that is all they will offer the American people.

There has truely never been a more inept party in the history of this country.

We are on the verge of losing a war run under the auspices of one George W Bush.  You know, the Commander in Chief.

And the economic stuff--let&#039;s see, dems in Congress for 2 months, and the economy &quot;tanks&quot; and this is their fault?  Your grasp of economics is a bit tenuous to put it kindly.

I remember when the GOP was not the party of excuses and whining.  Let&#039;s see if I have this right:  W takes over from Clinton with a recession beginning (whine, whine, whine;  curiously no mention of the economy Clinton inherited from Bush pere--you remember, &quot;it&#039;s the economy, stupid&quot;);  economy does well under Bush, a natural decline begins, and it&#039;s all the Dems fault (whine, whine, whine).  Talk about Bush needing to grow a pair.  Ye gods.</description>
