To answer your "Just one question", why am I a "right winger"? Actually I'm a conservative. There are a lot of liberal repulicans, so I'm just a republican by default. There is a lack of conservatism on the right, and a total void of conservatism in the democrat party. As for you being a middle class working stiff....I would wager that you probably make more money than I do. No I don't have my head in the sand! I used to think like you do. I was indoctrinated into your way of thinking. When I began to question certain inconsitancies, all I got was a "Just shut up and accept it as fact" kind of response. That' when I starting thinking for myself, and learned what was really going on. No, I'm not a religious fanatic, but why do you jump all the way over to thinking that someone who beleves God exists...is a fanatic. (Radical is the term most used by your side, yet Gore/Clinton/Kerry/et al claim that they believe in God. Why aren't they fanatics?)
On another related note, Let's not forget the pardons of the 16 FALN terrorists in New York. That was for the Puerto Rican vote for Hillary's Senate race. But I mean you compare all this to Scooter Libby and the former president and his wife are running around talking about how this administration is above the law?
Now, Ron Fournier, the Associated Press, he did a story on the effect of the Libby commutation. He ripped the Bush administration, but he also said this. "This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration..." he's quoting Hillary saying this. What Fournier responds to that with was, "It was a brazen statement from a woman entangled in many Clinton White House scandals, including the final one: On his last day in office, President Clinton granted 140 pardons and 36 commutations, many of them controversial. One of those pardoned was Marc Rich, who had fled the country after being indicted for tax evasion and whose wife had donated more than $1 million to Democratic causes. Clinton's half brother, Roger, who was convicted of distributing cocaine and lobbied the White House on behalf of others, also received a pardon."
So, tell me again how Bushs' commuting Libby's sentence was so very, very wrong, and the Dems are sooooo much above all that.
