FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Very well.

She may have done something illegal, and doesn't want to self-incriminate herself.

BTW, you know who else in the past has exercised his constitutional rights? Ken Lay.

 

So, to review: The current administration has absolutely no regard for the First and Second Amendments but clings tightly to the Fifth Amendment.

 

And the previous guy wanted to get rid of the First and Fourth.

BTW, how are those Free Speech Zones working out for ya?

 

Name me an administration that didn't cling tightly to the 5th Amendment.

I seem to remember a few Reagan aides doing so during Iran-Contra.

Further, Reagan famously supported the Brady Bill in the New York Times, of all places, after his presidency.

There isn't a single previous GOP president, ever, anywhere, who'd pass your litmus tests, I suspect. For one thing, they're clearly not angry enough for you. You seem to require rage in a political candidate.

 

To the extent that Bush lied, it wasn't precisely about the presence of WMD -- North Korea and Iran quite clearly have those -- but that WMD presence, coupled with some uber-threatening, immediate Al-Qaida link, necessitated invasion.

Anybody that's studied that invasion -- anybody! -- damn well knows that Al-Qaida flooded the country after the invasion. It was ripe for the taking. And in 15/20 years, when you have a nation of orphan, militant Muslims who watched American bombs kill family members, you'll know better what seeds that war planted in the ground.

 

"Wanted to get rid"?

Sadly for you, we're laughing AT you, not with you.

 

Rage? Not at all. But I do like for them to stand up to the idiot left.

 

Speaking of laughing at .... Says the guy who ran away from this thread for six weeks.

 

Yeah, it is obviously worth laughing at someone for spending time actually doing other things and not being chained to his computer to converse with liars who are so immature they follow professional wrestling.

 

Good Old "Cut and Run" Tony strikes again.

 

You were chained to this thread 15 hours a day until Election Day.
Boasting nonstop about Mitt's spectacular march to the White House.

 

This thread was intolerable shortly after the election.
Basically an Ewok celebration.
There's no fun in that.
