I'm not pissed about OJ. I'm saying it is a case when you know the fucker is guilty and he walks free, pardon or not.
How could you ever vote republican again?

i think its pretty fucked up you can get away with anything you want thanks to our current administration of lying assholes and thieves.
but, i would vote republican if the right candidate came along. esp if it would mean having to deal with hillary clinton.
please please please let obama run.

am i missing something. I thought libby was CONVICTED?
Nice try bringing clinton into this. Does "he was speeding too" work when You get pulled over? yeah, didnt think so.
The fact of the matter is, he broke the law. Broke the law by outing a CIA agent publically.
I believe the NYT reporter that broke the story is in jail, or at least spemnt some time in jail. Scooter won't because his boss, yes, the very same boss that cant pronounce a word over 2 syllables feels he has more information on it than the lawyers, the judge, the jury.....and he does. We all know what that is. He knows that his admin outed a CIA agent in a childish response her husband's fact laden tirade about yellow cake uranium.
Nice to know that this kuntry is run by 6yo brats.

yes i agree with you but everyone is supposed to be equal under the law. if he is convicted for his crime, shouldnt he go to jail?
rather he was the fall guy or not.

(Jul 2 07, 22:35)i'm not sure i fully agree. governors and the president reserve the right to pardon people because of special circumstances. people aren't always rightfully convicted, and if he truely was just acting under orders (again, i'm open to any damning information anyone has to present), then he shouldn't have to take full responsibility. bush is clearly going to take a lot of flack for this, and i don't think he's doing this because scooter's a friend (maybe bush is having a guilty conscience). regardless of why bush did it, at least this time he's doing something that the constitution gives him the right to to.
i guess i feel that the judicial system/congress should have gone after rove and cheney on this one, and that going after scooter was really just a cop out to make it look like they were doing something.

I don't vote. :)
Never have... never will.
I just tend to side w/conservatives and enjoy good conversation about it. I'm not trying to solve anything as I don't think mankind is capable of making leadership decisions to benefit everyone.
I'm just talking here... but if you feel because I don't vote either way that I can't discuss... then I'll happily discontinue conversing. ;)
I HATE this Administration, guys... absolutely disgusting the amount of death and dishonesty around it - my feelings as to them definitely only changed a few years ago...
... so understand I don't like them and I'm not trying to 'back my boys'...
... but I can't go on calling a man a traitor w/out proof... especially when you sniff around - you realize he probably was just following 'orders' that he probably didn't understand in the first place...
... but I can't call the man a traitor... this isn't all on Libby... it goes higher... and people want to eat one man alive because they can't get anything else on his bosses...
... that's not right to me.

i think he should go to jail for letting people address him as "scooter"
- pyeaton0
ponyboy,
The "under orders" thing was tried before in 1939-1945. Unfortunatly, the people that tried using this defense were hung and shot at Spandau Prison for Crime sAgainst Humanity.

Dude, what drugs are you on? Libby WAS convicted. You know, that's what we do with convicted people - we send them to jail...

convicted of perjury, blueOne... NOTHING more...
... and back to my original post...
... so was clinton... he didn't go to jail... so I don't see a double-standard here.
The crime was perjury... NOTHING MORE.... if you think you got something on the man... bring it forward... but you don't... there's nothing out there other than perjury that will stick.
He was NOT convicted of outing an Agent of the CIA.
... I'm off drugs permanently, btw. :)
