Maybe Obama should leave their brainchild, extraordinary rendition, on the books till the whole lot are rounded up and brought to justice.

Reason enough for me to vite for Obama. My only concern is will the DOJ have any time left to do anything else?

Keep dreaming. Obama will NEVER be elected president.

You may say Hillary lies.

--ICAM. Furthermore, given the horrific train wreck our country has become over the last 8 years, it's beyond me why conjobs would still think their political judgement was sound. But clearly con arrogance knows no bounds.

I notice you continue to dodge my original point above (why are you convinced your political judgement is sound considering the hellhole con choices have led our country into?) while you take weak swipes at the Democratic Party. I'll take that as an admission that your position is 100% indefensible. ;-P

yes, declare the RNC a terrorist organization for torture, preemptive war and eavesdropping without a warrant. Look at their track record from Watergate to Iran Contra and Plamegate... and the fact that only a repug congress has ever tried to impeach a president! 4,000 good Americans and 40,000 maimed for life... for what under the repugs?

I used to be a Republican, and would love to see the Republican party of Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower brought back to life. It is possible if we can purge all the ConMen from it and bring back people who know that Conservative Values do not include:

10 trillion dollar deficits.

Huge increases in the size of government.

Activist judges finding a Unitary Executive (dictator) somewhere in the Constitution, intruding into family decisions about removing life support from a loved one, trashing states rights and ignoring the Florida State Constitution to appoint Bush President in 2000, etc. etc.

Working to break down the 230 year wall of separation between church and state.

Altering tax law to establish a banana republic with a tiny handful of ultra wealthy and everyone else trapped permanently in serfdom.

Preemptive wars and permanent occupation of foreign lands.

The end of habeas corpus, established in 1305.

Failing that, the party should be disbanded.

Donald51 and plenty of other posters here will defend ANYTHING this racist marxist says and does because they hate this country.

It's the only logical conclusion as to why anybody would back this loser WHO WILL NOT, CANNOT NOT NOW OR EVER BECOME PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES.

Get used to it.

This is rich. You back an admin & party that has demonized gays, blacks, muslims, arabs, persians, anyone who LOOKS arab or persian (not that you'd know the difference), latinos & women who want equal rights (ever hear of "feminazis"?), and you have the GALL to call a man who has fought racism & spoken truth to the racism problems in this country, a racist.

You've got balls.

I've always found it interesting watching the Republican Conventions over the years - more-so in recent years - where there always seemed to be more minorities on stage than in the audience. You trot out a few prominent minority figures for show but have the most monochrome base around. And accuse others of being racist.

Did you wear a bandaide with a purple heart on it while you supported your AWOL, service-dodging candidate in '04?

He says he has the ability to unite this country. He says he's an agent of change. He's silent on specifics.

So we go to his senate record. We learn he's just an old time, run of the mill ultra lib.

We learn of his friends: the racist Rev Wright who he won't separate himself from is a raving, ranting racist.

Bill Ayres who tried to blow up the Pentagon and to this day wishes he did more damage. But he's Obama's family friend.

Rezco: Who Obama went to to get a sweetheart deal on a multi million dollar house and yard.

And of course her militant, racist wife, Michelle who though took advantage of the best this country has to offer in terms of education was never proud of this country until Barack was a serious contender for the presidency.

Now we have Obama's true thoughts on what he believes about people who go to church and own guns and want secure borders.

Hillary will clean his clock in Pennsylavania.

Barack will win the nomination but has NO CHANCE of becoming president.

--Even if you had a basis for your ridiculous claims about Obama, Chimper promised to be a uniter and not a divider and what did knob-gobblin' cons do when he clearly wasn't living up to his word? You rewarded him with four more years in office! LOL Just like you were trying to draft that filthy hypocrite adulterer Newt Gingrich to run for President. In a nutshell, wingjobs engage in serial hypocrisy and cannot be trusted, period.

I really love to be one of the few cons in a thread laoded down with the ultimate left wingers on this site such as you, Dawgs and Da Messo feller. Especially watching your excitment when one of your politicians get syou excited by lying to you about I Gonna Impeach Le Shrub. ALmost as much fun as watching kids waiting for Mickey Mouse to show up at an event.

impeached by a repug led congress that we now know was far more corrupt than Clinton... Delay and Newt... what a pair of liars! Even last year the three greatest earmark spenders in both the House and the senate are still repugs! Yes, there is a terrorist party in American... and it is the Republican party!

Anyone still suporting the RNC has to be without a conscience and lives with a defective moral compass! Or, just plain values money over all else!

Found guilty? Impeachment is not a conviction. Sorry, but the Senate did not convict him. So technically his guilt of lying to a grand jury was not established.

avatar

You forgot the most important part - deliberately perhaps? - that Clinton was acquitted of all charges. Now perhaps in your twisted con logic acquitted = guilty, but not as far as the rest of the world is concerned!

Even were he absolutely guilty his "crimes" pale in comparison to the acts and deeds of the current pResident and his administration by more than several orders of magnitude!

Yeah, that would explain the Republicans in jail for rigging the election, the books by Republican hacks about how they rigged the election, and all the investigations that have shown beyond any statistical margin of error that the voting was rigged and that all the rigged areas went to Bush.

Gee, yeah, none of that happened.

"and all the investigations that have shown beyond any statistical margin of error that the voting was rigged and that all the rigged areas went to Bush."

Can you give a source for this claim?

Now lets follow this line of logic K

"beyond any statistical margin"

BLAHHHHAHH

If we want to go with statistics why even have elections

ROFLMAO

Your homework is my command. lol.

Every single idiosyncratic, unexplained "glitch" that happened in the election was in one direction: benefiting G. W. Bush. If these immense number of flaws, problems, etc. were truly random, you would expect a 50-50 split in the effects of the "glitch". Instead, what you have is that EVERY SINGLE "GLITCH" that happened WAS IN THE DIRECTION OF BENEFITTING G. W. BUSH!

So, when they try to say it was just a glitch, remember that. When they say it's "just a minor glitch, and it didn't affect the election," remember that 100% of the "glitches" were in one direction, for Bush. As a statistician, it is pretty hard to swallow that purely random events went 100% in one direction.

Now, according to the media, the polling data is all of a sudden wrong. But the polls are only wrong here in the USA. And, for the first time in decades.

Not only that, but exactly where the polls went wrong is very telling.

The exit polls were correct for any non swing state presidential race, and all the swing state Senate races.

The "wrong" exit poll results occurred only in swing states, and there the polls were wrong only for the presidential race.

That's right. The only places where the exit polls were wrong were in the swing states. And here it gets real good. The only two areas where the exit polls in the state went for one candidate and the official vote differed were:

You guessed it, Florida and Ohio.

Losing either of these states tosses the race to Kerry, so the voter fraud is absolutely necessary to succeed in these two states in order to steal the presidency.

Bush won in 2000 because too many of Gore's supporters in Florida were incapable of properly filling out a ballot prepared by a Democratic official.

In 2004, the only state that used DIEBOLDs exclusively went for Kerry.

in Ohio they used Diebold machines in 2004.
