:roll: What do you call a pointless non sequitur that also happens to be a troll? I shall call it a Condor Dropping.

Hehe, I'll have to remember that one.

Bush Urges Investigation of Congressional Corruption

Tuesday, October 4, 2005; Posted: 12:15 p.m. EDT (16:15 GMT)

WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) -- President Bush is taking fire from House Republicans after announcing Monday that he fully intended to investigate recent accusations that former House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, had participated in a financial scandal. Bush: "If there were crimes commited, they will be persecuted to the full extend of the law. "

Would you still defend DeLay?

No? Then you're attacking the accuser and not his claim. That is NOT a valid arguement.


LMAO!!! He said "persecuted"? hahha

Definitely Clinton's protege and trying to outscandal him.

So much for Moral Values.

I never knew Moral Values meant campaign finance fraud.

Looks like Delay was setting an example for his proteges in Ohio.
 
And i guess the unprecedented 3 ethics citations by the House Ethics committe, controlled by Delays OWN party were also politically motivated.
Standing up for this worm puts you in the category of unethical yourself.

Well there you have it. Again, it's Clinton's fault. Someone posted the following:

Liberal
Clinton
Entitlement


That is your "canned" response on every single issue. You are a very sad youth in this country. Good luck in making your millions! :laugh:
 
Of course it's politically motivated. The Dems want to take out the Hammer. All of these stupid scandals are politically motivated, on both sides.
 
Funny how the GOP immediatly start attacking the prosecutor saying it is partisan politics.
Just Google Ronnie Earle.


One small article on his record Prosecution record

quote:

'over the scope of Earle's 28-year career, he's prosecuted 16 elected officials ? 12 of whom were Democrats. If this is a DA with a partisan agenda, he has a funny way of showing it.'

Doesn't sound partisan to me, unless of course he wants to bring down Texas Democrats. Hold final judgement until this is finished. In counter I challenge someone to dig up Kenneth Starr's prosecution record.

Do some more research on Earle. You'll find he attacks his political rivals whether they are Republican or Democrat. Just because he gives the appearance of being non-partisan does not imply this is not politically motivated. If it weren't politically moivated, he wouldn't have worked for 3 years trying to find something on Delay, only to come up with this lame charge to pin on him. Delay is such a schmuck and a conspiracy charge is the best he could do?

Give me break.

Yes, because there is no basis for the indictment.....
 
Of course it is politically motivated. The left is deperate. You can tell this by how many liberal sheep the DNC sends to this forum on a daily basis!

It wasn't the BJ, it was the obstruction of justice after the BJ! In hindsight the whole thing was silly, but don't throw out misinformation like that.
 
Watergate was politically motivated too!

If a politician is involved, of course there will be political motivation, but the important part is what comes out in the end.

The charges against DeLay are serious charges. If you say they aren't and that there is no basis for the indictment, I wonder how different you are than those who say DeLay is already guilty.

The right is more desparate than the left has ever been in recent history. And it is funny as hell! :thumbsup: Liberalism has and will continue to be around forever. Neoconervativs had their few years in the sun and will go back underground like the cicadas they are for 17 or so years only to pop their ugly little heads back out. Liberalism will be there, again, waiting with mallots in hand like real-life a whack-a-mole game, to lay the smack back down when they do. Your kind shrills too loudly to be taken seriously and are nothing more than an annoying noise. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Nonsense. It was pure partisan hatred coupled with a heaping dose of bruised ego after he beat their incumbent. The BJ, the lies, the "obstruction of justice", and everything else were all excuses.

If you're saying, Nixon's crimes were politically motivated, you're right. If you think prosecuting him for his crimes were strictly politically motivated, you need to research what happened.

Nixon was an evil megalomaniac with a staff of psycophants. He should have spent his last years in prison along with those Whitehouse staffers who were convicted. The Watergate break in was a relatively minor action, but it was part of a pattern of the abuse of political power practiced by him and his cohorts, including breaking into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office to try to discredit him for releasing the Pentagon Papers, which exposed many of lies that got us and kept us in Vietnam.

The Watergate tapes proved conclusively that Nixon was up to his eyeballs personally directing the attempt to cover up the Watergate breakin. He personally authorized payments of hush money to the Watergate burglars and directed the attempts to foil investigations into the original crime and all subsequent criminal activities.

The parallels between the behavior of the Nixon and Bush Whitehouse staffs are are shocking and frightening. :|
 
Aye, Harvey, but I was just saying it in terms of the absurdity of how, when anything happens, the initial response is "it's politically motivated!" Sure, there are mild cases of it happening where the political motivation outweighs the accusation/charge itself, but then again, you could have something to the extremes of Nixon and company.

Are you talking about Bush trouncing Albert Gore?

Yeah, what a trouncing! Only one half of one million more Americans voted for Gore than voted for Bush.

There hasn't been a "trouncing" like that since Dewey defeated Truman!

Ha Ha Ha! He was too busy voting in his 8th grade class elections to have been aware of the actual vote tally! Owns himself, yet again.
