Bush WH Treason, yet DEMs remain timid (once again)
Edited on Mon Oct-13-03 01:09 PM by protect freedom impe
from bartcop.........


Quotes

"The leak risked the security of all operatives who had used Brewster-Jennings as cover, as well as of all assets
ever seen with Mrs. Wilson. Unwitting sources will now realize that they were supplying the C.I.A. with information,
and even real agents may fear exposure and vanish. C.I.A. veterans are seething, and rightly so, at the betrayal by
their own government. Larry Johnson, who entered the agency at the same time as Mrs. Wilson, is a Republican
who voted for President Bush — and he's so enraged that he compares the administration leaker to the spies
Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen. "Here's a woman who put her life on the line," Mr. Johnson said. "But unlike
a Navy seal or a marine, she didn't have a gun to fight back. All she had to protect her was her cover."
--Nicholas Kristof, Secrets of the Scandal


The Democrats should be giving Bush a serial pounding over this treason, but they're too afraid.
Jesus, when Clinton fired the travel office workers for stealing, the GOP nearly beat him to death.
When Bush/Rove commit outright treason, risking lives, the idiot Democrats go to sleep - again.


(thank you bartcop, most of the so-called DEMs are too fricken afraid
of their own shadow)

what a Bush ass kisser !
what a leader ! NOT.

1. What could they be doing?
Dems can only pound their fists and give interviews on TV. They have no power in the Congress. I see no proof here that they are being timid. Bartcop's pink tutu's are funny, but he has rendered them pointless by applying them too liberally.

:thumbsdown:

2. I disagree...
I think it's time our "leaders" relied less on boilerplate langauge and take the gloves off. This can be accomplished everyday by picking up a newspaper and stepping up to a mic.

The failure of those depicted in pink tutus is because of the lack of commitment in chipping away at the illegal squatters. They are all looking for the "magic bullet" that will take down the squatters in one fell swoop. Yet they refuse to publically put thier collective noses to the grindstone and push back on a regular basis.

The pink tutus signify, quite clearly, that those shown have failed in the absolutely neccessary role of loyal opposition.

10. Even before 1994, Republicans made themselves heard ...
in Congress and elsewhere.

3. Black Caucus
leader Rep. John Conyers Jr. and the rest of the Black Caucus are leading the charge on Treason Gate.
http://www.house.gov/conyers/

Bart never puts the pink tu tus on the Black Caucus they are near about the only ones with any courage.
Except for Senators Durbin, Feingold, Kennedy, and Harkin.

The honorable Senator Feingold the only Senator that didn't vote for
'The unPatriotic Act'

4. That's not true, protect...
in fact, Wilson is even WORKING with Kerry, now, and I doubt he sees him as a pink tutu, your photoshop notwithstanding. In fact, that picture makes matters WORSE, because it attacks Dem's credibility on ALL matters.

The matter needs to be one about NATIONAL SECURITY and the CIA's problem with Bush and his team. The GOP owns the media, and if the Dems tried to score political points, the media will make THEM the issue, distracting from the crime itself. Leave it to the appropriate congressional committees and the CIA and FBI. The intel community has had it with Bush. Let the fight play out.

9. BULLSHIT! They aren't "dropping it"
YOU and others are ACCUSING them of dropping it, but it's NOT true.

You want to play it dumb or do you want Bush to be held accountable?

The proper Dems in Congress will keep it alive, and the Dem who are encouraging the CIA and FBI investigators behind the scenes will be an asset, too. Let it play out the SMART way.

In your face works FOR republicans and against Democrats because the GOP CONTROLS THE MEDIA. Or didn't you know that?

7. I dissagree. Dem's pasivity give the Repugs credability.
I know a lot of people who do not trust the Repugs. But they DO trust the Dems. And when the Dems say that Husane has weponds of mass distruction, what do you think they will beleive?

5. Ah yes
All the outrage about firing a few travel office employees that boiled over into a national scandal. I don't recall the Republicans paying a price for being overly "partisan". I don't recall them paying a price for Whitewater, Ken Starr's unending investigation into nothing, Newt Gingrich everthing, etc.

They reason the White House has a scandal that goes well beyond partisanship so partisan activity is dangerous and unnecessary to bring a conclusion. They seem to have forgotten standards and truth are relative when your opponent controls all branches of government, the courts and most of the media. True to form the media is now dropping the story after Bush claims the leaker "may never be found".

Republican style partisan political action is now required if the truth is ever going to come out.
