Lying to Congress has become a Republican principle, literally...

[bridgit]

'Revelations about White House involvement in the firing of the U.S. Attorneys means that the testimony of top Justice Department officials to Congress was fundamentally false. And everyone knows that now. As The Washington Post reports:

Administration officials say they are braced for a new round of criticism today from lawmakers who may feel misled by recent testimony from Gonzales, Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty and William E. Moschella, principal associate deputy attorney general. Several Democrats have called in recent days for Gonzales to resign.

Lying to Congress is what this administration generally -- and the DOJ specifically -- has done continuously. They lied to Congress about the FBI's use of NSLs in order to induce re-authorization of the Patriot Act, and -- now that those lies are exposed -- they are now forced to retract those statements and change their false testimony made under oath. Alberto Gonzales made repeated false statements to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the state of the President's eavesdropping activities, some of which he had to retract and some of which he still has not. And, of course, the false statements made over the years to the Congress by the administration regarding Iraq are literally too numerous to chronicle.'

5. Goes along with the transformation of the GOP into a religious party

in religion the people don't question the pastor, the pastor doesn't question the prophet, the prophet doesn't question the god.

Who are the House of Representatives to question the word of George W. Christ?

6. I keep hearing "stupid" "incompetent" "sloppy" as a way

of getting attention away from their intentional crimes and manipulation. Their LIES.

One of our reps need to introduce legislation that states stupidity and incompetence at the highest levels of government are impeachable offenses.

No excuse.

8. no more excuses, dem leadership must MASH that freaking button...

all bring all these matters to the forefront
