So now the Dems have succeeding in pushing out another Bush admin team member who is left? Will Cheney now be the focus of all the attention? Certainly Rice is untouchable as a black woman for the Democratic party. Cheney however as the rich white guy with Haliburton connections is perfectly ripe. However I don't believe Dick Cheney lacks fortitude to fight back. On the other hand the left has no one else left to target. Bush is always the target but the chances of him resigning are next to nil. Cheney...hmm...some on the left may decide to push as far as they can.

Anyone like to add comment?

No chance of cheney being let go. It would take a str8 up impeachment to get rid of him. I don't think there is enough time left before they leave office for this.

Cheney has always been the taget of neolibs. Afterall he was the one who orchestrated 9/11.

I believe the left have already said Cheney and Satan are one in the same.

Pushing out? Targeting? Talk about partisan! You act as if these people have done nothing wrong. Wake up man!

Damn...

Please list what charges Gonzales was convicted of. Unless I missed a meeting you're innocent until proven guilty.

"Damn" is right.

I predict Cheney leaves for "medical" reasons in 6-10 months. We already know he has a bad heart. He couldn't certainly have some condition that forces him to leave office.

And then you'll say he was targeted and pushed out right?

Reading comprehension is not a Republican trait apparently. I said

DID WRONG

I didn't say

CONVICTED.

Nope. Basically the whole secrecy thing by Cheney has seriously pissed me off. Enough that I have decided to vote outside the Republican party this next election. You want Cheneys head ...guess what ...so do I. He has overstepped his boundaries and outstayed his welcome. You want to impeach him...give me the petition to sign and I will gladly do so. I guess it's the partisan in me ehh.

Viola I still consider myself a conservative. But if the Republican party can't be conservative on a consistent basis they are not my party. The budget, the war, the spending and taxes are all things the party is failing in conservative circles. Don't mistake me anymore for a Republican. I am not.

Answer this question, either "Yes" or "No" - "Have you stopped beating your children?" For those without children substitute spouse, parent or friend.

See how if you answer "Yes" you admit to beating your children in the first place. But if you answer "No" you admit to just beating your children. There's no right way to answer this, without admitting a wrong on your part.

This is why I agree with Viola's assessment of the original question. This is a question looking to stir the pot against Dems. Being pushed out or being targeted looks so much better then leaving in disgrace. You spin it your way, I'll spin it mine. :peace:

BTW, Stoner, what was Bill Clinton convicted of?:lmao: Reminds me of that scene in Stripes where Murray and Ramis are being asked questions by the Army recruiter who says "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" and they both kinda of guiltily look at each other and get all serious and Ramis says "Convicted? No, never convicted." :)

So you want to assume people are guilty of wrong-doings without a trial?

You say this, then you criticize every single move Democrats make to try to enforce some sort of justice against the Bush administration, complaining of 'witchhunts', as though nothing wrong has been done. When you decide that you actually DO want justice, and are willing to support the Democrats who are trying to to get it, let me know.

hmmmmmm

There is no constiutional process for an post-election appointed VP (looked up Jerry Ford on Wiki)

Nixon just plain "appointed" Ford?

No confirmation process at all? No nothing?

The succession of power of the entire USA can be gamed by the sole sitting president?

Cool, this "loophole" never dawned on me before, I was a tad young in Jerry's day and I just assumed there was some legislative procedure involved.

Not correct, if I recall...Didn't Nixon try to get Nelson Rockefeller after Agnew had to resign? And didn't the Senate fail to confirm?

Good call Newscaster...he did resign for his health reasons though.

I think their next target is clearly Patraeus though.

Regardless of the "targets" isn't it odd that they're leaving and not fighting?

Rat's leaving a sinking ship is what comes to mind.

How come it's "Don't cut and run" in Iraq, but they have no problem Cutting and Running from Bush?

Who is the next target? Or who is the next to resign?

The Assistant Attorney General just resigned.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Assistant Attorney General Peter D. Keisler, who oversaw the Bush administration's lengthy legal fight over the rights of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, announced his resignation Thursday as head of the civil division.

How many is that now, about 15 top level Justice dept officials resigning since Alberto Gonzales destroyed the dept?

The rush to abandon Bush is simply because the party is starting to disintegrate at a much faster rate and these people will need new jobs soo. So, by resigning or saying they wish to spend more time with their family, or for personal reasons, etc etc etc, these people will not be able to say in job interviews that they resigned because they did not agree with the Bushies. Of course if someone remembers that they got out at the end rather than in the middle of the term, their story falls apart. Of course there is always the outside chance that these people suddenly developed a conscince and realized the damage they have caused this country but I dont think that wil be the case.
Its simply.....they are bailing out to save their asses.

Poah wittle Fredo, the big bad democrats sent him packing for lying time and time and time again to congress and the american people. Poah ting...

Do you think that those who are entrusted with upholding the laws of the land should be able to lie under oath to those that oversee them?

Why is it that republicans can have such a conniption fit over Clinton's lies about sex and excuse all the lies coming out of this administration about things that actually matter? It makes no sense to me.

Who is next, you ask?

Hmmmmmmmm... any of a number of no good, no account, lying scumbags... any of them, all of them... and soon too...[hr]

Sorry. But your sigline doesn't agree with your words. :nana:

Which is true of you now? your words as they appear here or your sigline everywhere?

Maybe Labrocca is just confused, Drocket... he so wants to not be a righty anymore, but when he starts typing, he just reverts to his old self...
