libs pull the "All Bush's Fault" card whenever something bad happens or "Bush is worse" card when a dem is shown to be a crook/idiot.
Likewise, Conservatives will bring up clinton when libs wag their fingers at what they percieve to be morally reprehensible.
More fallacious nonsense. Fallacious reasoning is par of the course for the Bushbots here, it always has been.
Yes, Clinton lied under oath. Yes, he should have faced the consequences for his lie. Does that have a bearing on this case? None at all.
Bush with his actions has, yet again, undermined the rule of law. The US is now a nation where some men, by no means all, are above the law. Bush has done it before when he broke international (and US law). He should have been impeached then. But the Dems chose to cave in to him, and now the Dems are asking their constituents to write letters to Bush saying how outraged they are at his action of commuting (soon to be pardoned) Libby. How utterly pathetic is that.
This is Exceptionalism. Some men, according to Bush, and some nations, according to Bush, are above the Law. And this Exceptionalism is only serving Bush's interests, and the interests of those behind him. So it is Selective Exceptionalism enjoyed by the Select few.
That is a different issue from the Clinton Lied crap. Impeach Bush and Cheney. If they are allowed to get away with what they are doing to the US Executive branch, and the US Constitution, the damage is irreparable.
This is food for thought on this 4th of July when Americans like to think the US is the Exceptional nation above all nations, not the least because it is a nation of laws, where each man is equal before the Law, and none above it.
Impeach Bush. Never has the US had a more anti-American President. He is a mockery to the flag.
