Reply #30: Clinton's pardons were not last minute. [View All]

[merh]

EVERY president pardons folks before the end of their term (as do all governors). Pardons are expected and Clinton's pardons were characterized as "last minute" only by the right and the media whores that spin the news for the right. You might want to brush up on your history. Also, Clinton did not pardon anyone in his administration that was facing criminal charges for the crimes committed while working for the White House or anyone that had been convicted of such crimes. Take the time to review poppy's pardons, you will be amazed at how many of them are working for the weed in the current administration.

I would suggest that you start by really studying Watergate and the effect that simple break-in had on the GOP and the nation. I would also suggest that you take the time to try to read what Fitz said at the press conference. Read and digest it, you might then appreciate the nature of the charges Libby faces and the important of the charges and the on-going investigation.

The investigation and the indictment (and the indictment of Delay, the indictment of Noe and the investigation of Frist) have already had an impact. The weed couldn't get his hand picked candidate on SCOTUS. The repug candidate for governor in Virginia did not attend the weed's speech last week; Ahnold canceled his appearance at a GOP fund raiser given by the weed; a repug candidate for AG in Kansas switched to the dem party. The ripple effect is being felt.

Try to take the time to be informed before you spout of and use right wing talking points. Wager? I would wager to bet that you have never really researched Watergate, Iran/Contra or the PNAC. I would wager to guess that you truly have no idea how dirty the leaders of the GOP are. Wager? I would wager that there is so much more going on out there that the weed and his buddies are just hoping the prayers of the fundie base can actually save them.
