Wow! Anyone notice how many Condi defenders and
Gonzales quitters there are on this board today? I am shocked that so many don't appear to see torture as an important issue and think Condi was qualified!

4. I think Condi is qualified technically speaking ...
but she's also a totally inept Bush ass kissa! ;)

I also think torture is an important issue, but thankfully Gonzales is an apointee who will leave his post when * does and not sit on the Supreme Court!

6. I disagree. Her expertise was the cold war , which no longer exists
(but wait they will bring it back!)And she like Gonzales, can only quote back bushisms like"no one could have imagined a plane flying into a building'! The 9-11 Commission didn't find her qualified. She stated that the memo about planes flying into dowtown Manhatten buildings was "historical". The woman is a proven liar and probably a traitor. She is not techniaclly qualified for anything except maybe prison.
And Gonzales whould be the one entrusted to investigate Dubya. That is why they want him in there. With Gonzales as AG there is no hope of ridding ourselves of Bush or election reform.

9. I totally agree that she has proven herself to be inept, but "technically"
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 07:28 PM by mzmolly
she's got the backround/education for the position.

I think anyone in this administration in the position of "diplomat" is a joke personally.

Bush will finish out his term regardless as unfortunately he gets to appoint who ever he likes to positions such as these. The rest of us poor bloaks just have to live with it. He wouldn't appoint ANYONE who might have integrity and thus investigate him.

:hi:

10. you are right
she is qualified in the sense that she IS capable of doing a good job. she has the knoweldge and intelligence.

the problem is she CHOOSES not to do the right things.

5. Stop "bashing" we need MORE Pro-Bush Democrats, not less!!!
If we dont play nice, the GOP/media will say mean things about us and we will start losing elections!!!

Stop asking DEMS to take a stand for their hard-working base-we need to stop being so selfish and realize that what the media & swing voters think is much more important than the silly, out-dated values held by the hard-core of the party.

8. If you feel there are disruptors present, please use the 'Alert' function.
Thank you.

15. A fat lot of good that does in most cases
These disruptors are getting real good at making sure they say just enough to make liberals look bad, but not enough to get kicked off the board.

Alerting does no good. They never quite cross the line so do not get banned. There are several dozen here every day posting away without getting tombstoned no matter how many times they have been alerted.

11. This board has been infiltrated. I don't believe Democrats would condone
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 07:30 PM by genius
either. But then I was rather shocked by what happened in the Senate today. Not one Democrat had anything but hot air against torture. It's OK with all of them.

14. I heard some damn good fiery arguments against Gonazles from Dems and
a lot of hot air about the "american dream" and "partisan democrats" from repugs. . .

not sure what you want Dems to do, immolate themselves?

17. Ever notice how many people put words in other DUers' mouths...
...when those DUers defend the members of our own party against irrational, irresponsible, wild-eyed accusations and condemnations?

NGU.

18. I'm locking this thread
reason :

Mass Call Out

this leads Paranoia and is not Productive

(side reminder)

Keep hitting Alert on posts you believe the
Moderators should be aware of . Sometimes it
takes awhile to build a record worthy of Banning .
