ROVE... the fucking rat & the party that continues to lie for him.

[JRob]

I received a response this week from my Republican Senator (Larry Craig) regarding my comments about Rove/Plame (I help to keep one of his aids busy printing out form letters). You know the talking point so I'll spare you the details.

Although there is always a hot new outrage, I think that it's important to keep these issues floating (e.g. Plame, DSM, WMD's, Abu Ghraib, Electronic Voting, Tom Delay etc.)

Below is my response to his response. Let's keep hammering on it all...

Dear Sir,

Per your response, dated 8/9/2005 to my comments regarding Carl Rove, the Valerie Plame ordeal and what President Bush is now being quoted as saying... you, I and a lot of the rest of the conscious people of this country know that what President Bush originally said was that anyone found to be "involved" would be fired. I personally consider it an insult to my intelligence when politicians twist facts and phrases for partisan purposes. Also the continued practice of hanging any unpleasant press or other information on the media is ludicrous. If the media was doing its job as was intended when this Nation was formed things in Washington would be very different today.

Although I doubt that you will ever read this personally, hopefully the aid that does will respond with something other than a form letter.

Sincerely,

J. Dixon

A CIA Cover Blown, a White House Exposed

By Tom Hamburger and Sonni Efron
Times Staff Writers

August 25, 2005

WASHINGTON — Toward the end of a steamy summer week in 2003, reporters were peppering the White House with phone calls and e-mails, looking for someone to defend the administration's claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

About to emerge as a key critic was Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former diplomat who asserted that the administration had manipulated intelligence to justify the Iraq invasion.

At the White House, there wasn't much interest in responding to critics like Wilson that Fourth of July weekend. The communications staff faced more pressing concerns — the president's imminent trip to Africa, growing questions about the war and declining ratings in public opinion polls.

Wilson's accusations were based on an investigation he undertook for the CIA. But he was seen inside the White House as a "showboater" whose stature didn't warrant a high-level administration response. "Let him spout off solo on a holiday weekend," one White House official recalled saying. "Few will listen."

In fact, millions were riveted that Sunday as Wilson — on NBC's "Meet the Press" and in the pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post — accused the administration of ignoring intelligence that didn't support its rationale for war.

much more...

4. I got a similar form letter response from my (republican)

congresscritter and I sent a similar response. No response to my response, of course.

7. you get the summary form letter with talking points but no real

engagement...

It's really very disturbing that "our" leaders distill everything to some type of representative rhetoric and continue to echo it like a deranged parrot.

you think there might be some alternative agenda?

fuckers.
