Why do I find it hard to belive this?

Rove doesn't fart without considering the political implications.



(without defending anything)

Your insight into all things you don't like is a joy to behold. You know Rove, me and others with whom which you do not agree.

When I find the cameras you have planted in my home I gonna sue:P:D

it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

eaven if HE did mean to delete them or did on purpose I'm pretty shure they have from the system admin the back up tapes where the emails are archived as requiered by law right ? or is it that every one elese is requiered to follow data rentintion laws but them ?
SO this one time at band camp.....

I like the angle though. Imagine:

Bush did not mean to start this disaster in Iraq
Jefferson did not mean to accept that bribe
Gonzales did not mean to fire those laywers
Imus did not mean to talk about nappy haired hos
Bush did not mean to sign that veto

No one is to blame. Doesn't that make for a better world?

Uhh....because you tend to disbelieve anything a republican says?



Isn't it convenient? Like Nixon's missing 18 minutes of tape.

Sure is. But convenient doesn't always mean intentional. But to some people they are one and the same.

Well since so many of them learned their trade craft in the Nixon Administration.. is it horribly surprising???
Me thinks it goes WAY BACK before that.;)
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Oh, PLEASE! Don't compare Nixon to Dubya!>:(

Things Nixon did right:
- Pulled the US out of the Vietnam hole LBJ had dug us into.
- Normalized relations with the largest country in the world (China).
- Had the last real balanced budget.

Things Nixon did wrong:
- Covered up Watergate.

Now compare Dubya's record to that. Nixon would never have dreamed of trying to pull half the crap Dubya has done.

With a 3 year or so detour that ran thru Laos and Cambodia

Sweet... it was about time that the US actually acknowledged the existence of all those 1.5 billion people( The real reason was to play nice with China.. to scare the fuck out of the Russians)

Sure he would have. But Nixon had a Democratic Congress to check and balance him. Bush, up until just now, had a Republican Congress that rubber-stamped everything he did and exercised Zero oversight. Nixon had to compromise in orer to govern. Bush, for 6 years, was able to operate with absolute impunity.

And another difference between the two: Nixon understood what he was doing. I don't believe our current Idiot-in-Charge even grasps the effects of his actions.

what is worse..is I think he and his sycophants in the administration know exactly what they wanted to do..... as long as their family fortunes are increased... the deaths of a few thousand of the "little people" are not important. Greed and Ego.....he wanted to be a wartime president... he certainly never wanted to be a wartime warrior.

You know perfectly well that the reference here is to members of the neo-con cabal associated with the current White House.
