Scariest thing about the Plame matter to me: There is a grown man thisclose to the reins of power who calls himself Scooter.

Because Bush and company acts as though they are above the law and donâ€™t have to listen to the will of the people.

I actually wonder what exactly you think Clinton was doing then (His wife I mean) with Whitewater?

Above the law pretty much does encompass most of Presidential administrations.

And to lay the fact that you have just now become aware of the opressive nature of our bloated Govn’t on GWB is almost foolish.

Dems and Repubs both want you nice and stupid so you will tow their party line, and give them a vote with out them actually representing anything you care about.

And really, dictatorship? Please… in 2008, you will have your chance to be heard again. When the time comes, if enough of America agrees with you, then your vote will win the day. But I suspect not, since the Dem party has drifted so far left, they have become seperated from mainstream America.

I think we’ll soon see that the indictment against DeLay won’t stand in a court. It’s interesting to realize the nature of the person who issued the complaint against DeLay and what his past has been in this area.

Not so sure about the revelation of the CIA operative’s identity and Karl Rove (or whoever is brought up on this charge), but would be interested in seeing your list of charges against Bush.

Pia,
First of all, I agree wholeheartedly with what JC said about campaign funds.
I don’t understand how some people actually believe Bush & Cheney don’t have mud on their faces when their immediate subordinates are the actual leaks in the Plame case.
If you think about it, none of these politicians represent US. A white male who went to Yale,is 6 ft. something, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth…that covers about 90% of politicians. How do they represent ME? Answer: they dont! They’ve obviously got no idea of my values & priorities. We’re no less corrupt than the countries we point our fingers at.

I completely agree with you Pia! Terror is an ideal, you can’t go to war with an ideal and expect to win.

Bill Clinton lied under oath and was impeached. George W. Bush lied to the entire country, sent people to die in the middle east, and there’s not so much as a whisper about investigating the man.

My two cents!

I agree with JC, it seems really odd to me that cash seems to more important than policy – it’s not democracy.

I think you may get half your wish. Rove will probably be the next Bushie indicted.

it’s official – i love you.

but really, these things do need to be investigated, and even though it’s not likely to happen (dammit), saying so is no reason for people to attack.

but of course they will, so good luck, and keep telling it like it is.

I say give ‘em all a $100 Kinko’s card to make up some roadside signs and let that be the end of it.

Pia,
I so agree with you. I think that each official should have the same amount of money to campaign and it should be a reasonable amount. I don’t believe that corporations should ever be able to contribute to a politician. A corporation is not a citizen and their interests at many times are in direct contradiction to what would be best for the average citizen, yet their dollars give them more clout than the voter. Thanks for writing on this issue.
