GOP: "Every time someone sneezes at the White House, they investigate"

<snip>



Republican strategists are increasingly confident that majority Democrats are going too far in investigating the Bush administration over the firing of those U.S. attorneys and other issues, reports chief White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh.

"Every time someone sneezes at the White House, they investigate," says a prominent adviser to a GOP presidential candidate with longtime ties to congressional Republicans. "We did the same thing to Bill Clinton when we were in the majority and overplayed our hand. The Democrats are close to doing the same thing."

Regarding the U.S. attorneys furor, many GOP insiders argue that it's inside baseball and that most Americans don't see any connection to their lives. In addition, the controversy is complex and hard to follow, discouraging voters from paying attention.

"The Democrats are forgetting what we forgot in the Clinton days," the GOP adviser says. "The vast majority of Americans want their president to succeed. They don't like it when the opposition party wants him to fail. And the Democrats appear to want George W. Bush to fail."

1. Hell yeah - it could be another ANTHRAX attack

And since the last one they orchestrated worked so well (got cowed Senators to vote for the Patriot Act), they might just do another one.

So if they're sneezing—watch out!

2. And you know what the GOP did?

NOTHING! Isn't that great?!

[Ezlivin]

11. No, but Dick Cheney did start taking Cipro just before the attacks

But it was pure coincidence....

[sakabatou]

19. Yes... coincidence

:yoiks:

3. what's that tune? "We've only just begun . . ."

there is a major difference. Few, if any, major crimes were found in the 1052 subpoenas issued against the Clinton Admin. EVERY single one we will issue will lead to some evidence of wrongdoing.

4. It's because they don't cover their mouths or use tissues

and they spread their germs EVERYWHERE!! That's the epitome of the GOP, and it's why someone with Lysol (Congress) needs to follow them all around and spray every surface they touch (investigate).

5. LMAO! I love it -- whistling in the dark the GOP way n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Mr. GOP adviser, G.W. Bush is already a failed president and the Democrats had little to do with it

[Straight Shooter]

7. "The Democrats are forgetting what we forgot in the Clinton days."

Oh, cry me a river. :nopity:

[iconoclastic cat]

9. Jeff Gannon??????

10. The last sentence is priceless.

"And the Democrats appear to want George W. Bush to fail."

Um, no, chimpy's doing that all by himself. All we do is watch.

[pepperbear]

18. exactly. he's failing on his own, we just want him outta there. n/t

[yardwork]

25. Before he takes us all with him.

[Cha]

27. Either that or kiss the

fookin' World Good-Bye!

I remember reading on the screen an e-mail from someone writing into the old "Spin Room" on cnn(2000)..with Bill Press and tucker.

"If gwbush gets it, we can kiss our country good-bye" How fookin' prescient was that?

Can you imagine if the Dems were crying a river about ..say Gore? "It's like they want Gore to fail"? :nopity: :nopity:

[gatorboy]

12. Well if their snot wasn't so sleazy we wouldn't have to worry about it.

[madinmaryland]

13. Subpeonas: Clinton - 1059; Bush - 3.

Cry me a river republics!

:nopity:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

14. But they're sneezing up BOOGERS OF DECEIT!!! n/t

[annabanana]

15. There's probably a cat up their NOSE!. . . . . n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Every time a repuke opens his/her mouth, A LIE COMES OUT.

That's why we need to investigate...dumb fuck.

[noamnety]

17. I thought at least one of attorneys was fired for NOT investigating dems

did I dream that?

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. No. You didn't dream that. I think Pat Leahy set the story straight by posting the TRUTH on his web

site. 3 times more Dems have been investigated than repukes since 2001. They can't say that anymore...another LIE thrown in their faces.

[Lex]

21. "Every tree we've barked at had a cat in it so far . . . "

Some Dem said that in the last week or so, but I forget who it was.

[dkofos]

22. Now you know how Clinton felt

[Cha]

23. Yeah, when the strawmen throwin'out

the red herrings are Sneezing in our Fookin' Food..you betcha, assholes.

[kimmerspixelated]

24. The GOP

can go screw themselves! The audacity! I can't believe they turn a blind eye to this war criminal, etc.,etc.,seem to believe every damn thing he says, and refuse to smell the coffee! The scandals mount everyday, are layered lie upon lie upon lie that have to do with the shredding of OUR CONSTITUTION, but wait, if it's not over a blowjob, it's not worthy of prosecution or impeachment! WHO ARE THESE MORANS??????

[yardwork]

26. They're thieving, lying, immoral, greedy, mercenary, murderous hypocrites.
