Remember 2004?

[Too Tall]

That would be so awesome if it was true!

Wilson was the Hill jabberwocky specialist, Synthaholic. Many heard him discussing his wife's position, and the press ignored the avalanche of people who heard Wilson discussing the particulars.

So many idols, so much misinformation.

Hell of a lot of difference between some in the know people knowing, and broadcasting it around the world, getting sources killed and arrested.

You can spin it all day, but the fact remains that people connected to the Bush Administration outed a covert CIA agent for partisan political purposes.

Richard Armitage, former Deputy Sec of State outed CIA agent Valerie. You sure are not very well informed.

OK, hortysir, what is your opinion, 25 words or less please, of the outing of a CIA agent?

Anyone that pays attention knows it was Richard Armitage.

The real criminal in this whole affair is Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. He continued his investigation and spent millions of taxpayer dollars AFTER he knew Armitage was the leak.

Armitage never did tell the president, but he's talking now because Fitzgerald told him he could.

and Powell didn't either. Mr. Integrity.

Where does it say that Powell knew what his FORMER deputy at state did? Nowhere is the answer.

Sum up Republican administration:
2000 - Bush gets elect and proceeds to go on vacation, intel scream attack in immenent and is ignored, 9-11, Bush stands on Twin Towers rubble and plays hero, US invades Afganistan, mass campaign of misinformation to go into Iraq (anyone in the way is dealt with), reelection is handled with as much lies and misinformation as the lead up to the Iraq war, McCain runs, Rove lays low put helps where he can, when Republicans see they are getting run out of town the lay waste to the legistative one and all,

2012 - Different politicans but same game plan

And where in all this fun and games is the fight for America?

 

[Synthaholic]

There is no evidence that Republicans win by cheating moron. Your links don't even say that. How frigging stupid can you be?

My Lord, but you are a disgrace to both your party and your country.

Where does it say that Powell knew what his FORMER deputy at state did? Nowhere is the answer.

Michael Isikoff revealed portions of his new book titled Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War, co-authored with David Corn, in the August 28, 2006, issue of Newsweek. Isikoff reports that then Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage had a central role in the Plame affair.[58]

In their book Hubris Isikoff and Corn reveal — as both Armitage and syndicated columnist Robert Novak acknowledged publicly later — that Armitage was Novak's "initial" and "primary source" for Novak's July 2003 column that revealed Plame's identity as a CIA operative and that after Novak revealed his "primary source" (Novak's phrase) was a "senior administration official" who was "not a partisan gunslinger," Armitage phoned Colin Powell that morning and was "in deep distress." Reportedly, Armitage told Powell: "I'm sure [Novak is] talking about me." In his Newsweek article......

The next day, a team of FBI agents and Justice prosecutors investigating the leak questioned the deputy secretary. Armitage acknowledged that he had passed along to Novak information contained in a classified State Department memo: that Wilson's wife worked on weapons-of-mass-destruction issues at the CIA... [William Howard Taft IV, the State Department's legal adviser] felt obligated to inform White House counsel Alberto Gonzales. But Powell and his aides feared the White House would then leak that Armitage had been Novak's source — possibly to embarrass State Department officials who had been unenthusiastic about Bush's Iraq policy. So Taft told Gonzales the bare minimum: that the State Department had passed some information about the case to Justice. He didn't mention Armitage. Taft asked if Gonzales wanted to know the details. The president's lawyer, playing the case by the book, said no, and Taft told him nothing more. Armitage's role thus remained that rarest of Washington phenomena: a hot secret that never leaked.[58]

Thanks for mentioning this, Too Tall. The reason I missed this one is because I was househunting and packing to move back home to the Friendship state from the Equality state, 1300 miles, and I had 25 years' worth of quilt stuff to sort out. For me it is closure.

I think that the press did a disservice to the country on something most people would have never known, if they hadn't been so eager to "get Bush" over every little thing that came down the pike, and by the time they put Valerie Plame to the bull horn, the lawyers were stacking up in line to get her and Wilson to do a massive lawsuit against the executive branch in a time of war. The press is a Frankenstein that doesn't want the nation to survive, and I hate their push into Marxist country, from the bottom of my angry soul for them destroying America, one grain of dust at a time into a mountain of deceit, exaggerations, picking, twisting, spinning, and omissions. The American Press is the Saddam Hussein of integrity. It exterminates good for a lousy 30 pieces of damn silver.

My only point is that the Special Prosecutor KNEW that Armitage was the leaker within a week of being appointed and that should have been the end of it. Millions of taxpayer dollars later, no one was convicted of outing Plame, and Armitaqe was allowed to go public.

The Times claims that White House counsel Alberto Gonzales was informed that Armitage was involved on October 2, 2003, but asked not to be told details. Patrick Fitzgerald began his grand jury investigation three months later knowing Armitage was a leaker (as did Attorney General John Ashcroft before turning over the investigation).

I do.

There was this presidential election.

I really hated the president. He was an incompetent boob that had led our country to calamity. I wasn't alone. He was extremely unpopular with most Americans who viewed his policies as disastrous.

The the Democrats nominated an total dork to run against him.

I wasn't worried because the President was such a dipshit, I knew he was toast.

Then the total Dork's campaign platform consisted of "vote for me because the president sucks"! That's okay, I thought, tat will be enough to beat the loser incumbent.

The morning after the election, I (and many others) woke up shocked that the president had won. There many conspiracy theories, but the truth is that in America it is really hard to unseat an incumbent.

I am getting a kick out off the confidence of the right on this board. I suspect you are whistling past the graveyard.

This thread will serve as anal salve for your butthurt selves after the election.

In November 2004, unemployment was 5.4%, the same rate it was in November 1996. In November 1980, it was 7.5%. In November 1992, it was 7.4%. Both incumbents lost by a decent margin those years. It's currently 8.3%, with a much lower participation rate.

Nice story.

The endings aren't always the same though.

Jimmy Carter could tell you about that.

And he's only the second worst President in the history of the Republic. The incumbent holds the title.

He's as good as out.

Seems funny that history is repeating itself in just eight years, doesn't it? One would think we would have learned not to elect incompetent boobs to the highest office in the country, wouldn't one?

Seems like we would have learned not to elect them in the primary either.

Yes, talking about Obama's 8% plus unemployment rate sure is comedy.
