I am sure they would love for him to resign!
My Way
The Senate Democratic leader said Sunday that presidential adviser Karl Rove should resign because of his role in exposing an undercover CIA officer, and a veteran Republican senator said President Bush needs “new blood” in his White House.Rove has not been charged, but he continues to be investigated in the CIA leaks case that brought the indictment and resignation Friday of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, an adviser to Bush and the top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney.
Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has not made a decision on whether Rove gave false testimony during his four grand jury appearances. Rove is Bush’s most trusted adviser.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said he is disappointed that Bush and Cheney responded to the indictment by lauding Libby and suggested they should apologize for the leak that revealed the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.
How desperate is this dribble by Reid? He must really be preaching to an ignorant base of people. NO ONE is being charged with outting Plame. Rove was under suspicion until the Grand Jury was released. And if there is still an on going investigation, why would there be any apologies? Those apologies can be used in court, but then he knew that!
Reid is such a buffoon!

The whole thing is idiotic. She wasn’t a covert officer at the time and hadn’t been in over 5 years. Therefore they could’ve put her name on the Jumbotron in every MLB ball park and not broken the law.
Reid and anyone who sides with him are simply political asses. That Republican who spouted off about Bush needing new blood in the White House needs to be reminded that sometime in the next couple of years, he’s going to need someone to help with his fund raising. The President is usually the person of choice to attract the big donors. I wonder how that idiot would feel if the President instead did fundraising for his opponent in the next set of primaries? Or that the President would veto any bill with pork in it for his district as soon as it hit his desk? You want to get these morons to get on the party wagon and stay there? Threaten to cut into their odds of reelection.

If this were old West Nevada, I’m sure we wouldn’t be talking about people like Harry Reid because they’d be in Boot Hill.
Reid ought to resign. His Mormon church ought to check up on Reid to see if he’s been drinking or using drugs.

Here is a great article on this. Hitchens is a curmudgeon, but he does have a way with words!

Hey, everybody… Did ya miss me?
Bush isn’t doing too well these days, is he. This whole CIA outting isn’t pretty.
Rove may or may not have broken the law. But the White House said that niether Rove nor Libby were involved when, in fact, they were.
They’re splitting hairs on rather the law was broken to cover-up the outting of a CIA NOC.
Somebody’s lying.
Hey! Now there’s a surprise!

I would rather see TED KENNEDY resign he has been in far too long its about time he just quit trying to make a fool of himself:razz:

DG!
Where have you been and what have you been up to?
Did we miss you? With every bullet so far.
:wink:

#4: You’re joking, right? It isn’t pretty for the Democrites. Their contrived get-Bush campaign, in which they put all of their eggs in the Joe Wilson basket, has fizzled into nothing, leaving them looking like the asses they are.
No evidence Libby was involved. No evidence Rove was involved. Zilch.
The only one that outed Plame was Wislon, when he decided to take this political. Or maybe Plame herself, when she filled out public documents listing her employer as CIA when she contributed to the Kerry kampaign.
Aw, hell, why even bother to explain (see Arty’s post above). The whole thing was absurd from the get go.
The Democraps manufactured and contrived this whole thing and it has blown up in their faces, once again showing them to be disgraceful fools.
November 3, 2005 - 07:59 AM on November 3rd, 2005
dg and shiloh, why am I not surprised that neither of you can read a law for what it says, but try to implement what you think will hurt Bush the most? Plame was neither covert nor covered by the law.
November 3, 2005 - 09:05 AM on November 3rd, 2005
shiloh, Fitz is pulling an Earle. What he can’t prosecute in the court, he’s going to persecute outside the court and especially in the press where dullards like you go off half cocked and are ill informed, yet bloviate that an innocent man is guilty of a nonexistant crime.
November 3, 2005 - 10:33 AM on November 3rd, 2005
You know Shiloh all you dems talk about is the corruption on the right. This is such bullshit as to be disgusting. While no party is lillie white and clean there is really nothing in Bush that is corrupt. You are all reaching at straws. And for what? Some kind of retribution? Why don’t you all stop and take a serious look at your own party and come up with some constructive ways to deal with the issues America has. That is alot better than Bush bashing or bashing the right. We ARE entitled to our views, like it or not.
November 3, 2005 - 11:06 AM on November 3rd, 2005
I doubt it worked brilliantly. Actually what you and other stuck on stupid democrats don’t seem to get is that most Americans are beginning to see your party for what it is. No respect. No plan. No values. No morals and the list goes on and on. I have seen more lies from your party, more actions that hurt Americans AND more racism than I have ever experienced in my life.
It’s a pity too because our great country needs some checks and balances to keep it great. Your party will fold and die out soon but there will be another to take it’s place. Read your history books and you will see there have been alot of political parties in our nations history and only the Republican party has survived. There’s a reason for that.
November 3, 2005 - 11:27 AM on November 3rd, 2005
shiloh, all the shutdown showed is that Democrats like you are bankrupt, bereft of values, crybabies.
Now, are you still spinning that you did not say that Kilo and I said things that we did not?
Are you like Bob Ray Sanders of the Fort Worth Star who said that Bush’s judges are more comfortable in white robes than in black robes?
November 3, 2005 - 12:41 PM on November 3rd, 2005
Hurry peejz, delete shiloh’s post!!!! It’s been up for 8 minutes now. Hurry!
November 3, 2005 - 12:50 PM on November 3rd, 2005
Why should Rove resign? They couldn’t find anything to indict.
November 3, 2005 - 01:11 PM on November 3rd, 2005
13, maybe you should endure a day or two of your posts being deleted.
14, Sasha, not quite right. It is because a Democrat is charging a Republican. No evidence or law is necessary in the left’s eyes, just lynch them.
November 3, 2005 - 01:49 PM on November 3rd, 2005
Maybe everyone’s posts should be deleted.
November 3, 2005 - 01:57 PM on November 3rd, 2005
16, maybe you should be denied your crack pipe for a week.
November 4, 2005 - 01:29 PM on November 4th, 2005
15: Y’see, PCD, none of that really ever makes sense to me because I believe in due process and equal protection under the law. That’s why I keep forgetting all the exceptions and special rules and normal rules not applying.
16: Z, I think child #6 must have bought you a bad rock.
17: PCD, NEVER threaten a crackhead’s pipe!
November 4, 2005 - 01:51 PM on November 4th, 2005
18, I do and I will. I have a 5lb sledge to fix her crack pipe if she can’t use it sparingly and responsibly.

21, yup, I’ll be laughing at her when she sees what “Gunter” does to her pipe. Gunter is my friend’s blacksmith forged iron chisel. His Grandfather made it LOOOONNNNNNGGGGG ago. Gunter gets things done long after other tools have broken.
November 4, 2005 - 02:00 PM on November 4th, 2005
I can always get another crack pipe. The “war on drugs” has made it all too easy.
November 4, 2005 - 02:03 PM on November 4th, 2005
23, yes, I know. Many head shops sell them as tobacco pipes, but Gunter and Hans don’t get tired, have a union or go on vacation.
November 4, 2005 - 05:26 PM on November 4th, 2005
22-23: You two are on a roll today.
