This Is Not A Democracy, It's A Republic........
I think I just heard a big YAWN from our main stream media.
Where's a US attorney when you really need one?
Waxman ... calling Henry Waxman ...
*crickets*
My wife works at a local VA (a service chief, actually) and her site routinely ranks as one of the top medical care facilities in the country for vets. The facility is more advanced than most public hospitals.
That said, they have their issues because it is, after all, the government. Whining, clock-watching employees, unions (should be banned), and beaurocratic BS.
What is really wrong is that the VA is NOT -- I repeat NOT -- the DoD. The press is constantly lumping them together and they are not, unfortunately, linked well at all. The DoD is classic military, no-frills, and very slow to change. It is the DoD data system that is so out of date that they can't share vet data with the VA.
If the MSM wants to help the issue, they might compare and contrast (how's that for a liberal arts term) the two organizations. The VA rocks! DoD is a rock.
My issue with this, beside the unsavory practices and obvious set ups for her hubby, is that it seems simply because she's a Dem, she'll get away with it, there is no accountability if you are a Dem.
Had this been the work of a Republican senator, all hell would be breaking loose. Look at the attorney thing, no laws broken there, but it's top news 24/7. Look at the Foley thing, that ultimately cost the Republicans the 2006 elections....sure, he's a pervy old man... but he broke no laws. But was crucified just the same.
Where's Jared the screwed sub-man?
This is just the thing he should be screaming about. A politician taking advantage of their position for personal gain FOR 6 YRS. Worse yet a dem tied up in the industrial-military complex, but we all know dems arent big business.
Come on Jared make up some of your BS about how its ok for her to get away with this without being hauled before congress.
Oh, and she will.
"Quizno's, Jared speaking ..."
"Jared, heard about that Feinstein thing? Any comments"???
"Click"
I don't even like Feinstein, she is a fricking hack, a dirty olf DLC dem, the kindI absolutly fucking despise, a DLC Dem essentially is a conservative
and no Jenn, you fricking HACK, this story is nowhere as big as the attorney purge with the fucking attorney general being proven to be a LIAR. HE LIED about the firings, if the filthy little con kept his mouth shut, there would be no scandal.
I dont give a crap about Feinstein, I could not care if she went to jail, she is a crappy DLC sellout
The attorney purge is HUGe because it shows how this administration hstes checks anbd balances and wants a unitary execuative president.
Feinstein,another fake DLC Democrat, like that piece of shit Lieberman, who I hope drops dead.
Feinstein a conservative??????
PUT THE PIPE DOWN, NOW.
Put it down before there is absolutely NO brain function and you crap yourself
My bad too late
LOL..... the President can fire those fucking attorneys all day long if he likes. This whole thing is NOTHING but a lame ass witch hunt.No laws were broken so who the fuck cares.
Feinstein, on the other appears to have done some dirty deeds, dirt cheap and is getting away with it, and you don't care. You pansy ass libtard sit there making excuses like "she's almost a republican". Keep making excuses...it shows how weak and sad you HACKS are.
You make Lestard look like Einstein.
WMD
Feinstein is a DLC democrat, not a liberal, you put down the crack pipe you fucking HACK
Jenn
You are indeed retarded. Gonzales LIED about the firings , this is why it is an issue. The head of the DOJ LIED. Under oath or not, officials are respomnsible for their statements under oath or not, HE LIED
It is BIG news, hack
chickens come home to roost
remember Whitewater? HACK
The majority of America wants these LIARS to be held accountable. that walking corpse Rove, Meirs, Sampson, America is demanding accountability
only 26% of America thinks the president can cry executive privilidge.
you seriously take party over country. you accept liars, corruption and cronyism all in the name of the letter "R".... No surprise you are now the fringe radical moonbat that America despises.
Gonzo is BIG NEWS, you cant fuckling handle it, HACK
and Im fine with Feinstein resigning, I couldent care if she goes to jail, corruption and lies deserve penalties.
You find any scandal with the letter "R" attached to it as NON-NEWS
PARTISON HACK
You are a partisan HACK
You freaks, are outnumbered in America
GONZO GATE WILL NOT GO AWAY
HE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT THE FIRINGS
SIMPLE AS THAT

Damn, I guess it's never too early in the day to be that drunk. What is it Jared? Tequilla?
"Gonzo is BIG NEWS, you cant fuckling handle it, HACK"
Oh my ... It just doesn't seem to be sinking it. They could have fired ANY and ALL of those US attorneys for no reason whatsoever. They're ALL political appointees and serve at the PLEASURE of the president.
Get it? Yes Jared ... they CAN be fired for POLITICAL reasons and there's not a damn thing the democrats can do except whine.
Clinton fired ALL Us attorneys for political reasons.
"HE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT THE FIRINGS"
Precisely what did he say asswipe?
BIG NEWS would be Jared going to AA for his issues.
Chickens come home to roost
the adults are in charge
non-stop hearings on no bid contracts.... gonzogate.... Bush's hack from Swift boat vets....... I love accountablility

bububububub Clinton bubububububub Feinstein
FUCKING HACK
"non-stop hearings on no bid contracts"
So I assume you have no problems with Feinstein being investigated for approving no-bid contracts to her husbands companies? Worth billions by the way.

"Gonzo said

go back to that closet case Matt Drudge, he omitts the news
guess you missed the story HACK"
So? What the fuck difference does it make? There was nothing ILLEGAL about firing them in the first place. I haven't read the emails but the way the MSM and leftists hacks like you operate, I have no doubt eveything that was said or written is taken out of contest and cherry picked.
Man, you are one dense bitch.
"clinton fired all 93 at the start of his term
no surprise
that RNC bullshit was debunked 3 weeks ago"
Uh ... just how was that debunked genius? Clinton fired every one of them for POLITICAL reasons.
Clinton fired them all at the start of his term, totally different than firing attorneys who were after Republicans
you just don't get it
lib lib clinton Clinton lib lib
you and your Fox news spin are irrelevant in America
Jared isn't on crack, that boy is huffing gold spray paint by the freakin case.
Jared, you may not have liked the firings, but please tell me what law was broken? HACK!!!!!!

you just do not get it
How functionally retarded are you?
"Sampson, sitting alone at the witness table, said the fired prosecutors were found to be insufficiently committed to the president's law enforcement priorities."
fired for NOT DOING THE JOB
let me try this again slowly Paintboy,
What law Was Broken?
VW
Another non story by the dems. The press hates republicans and pursues and headlines against them. Just like the non-Plame case and the Non-US Attorney case. That's why the media doesn't run with the ball on things like stuffed pants Sandy Berger or Freezer Jefferson. Just a blip on a page.
These are the people that want to run the country? When are they actually going to do something instead of power grabbing.
VW, he can't answer your question, because he'd be aknowledging what a HACK he is. LOL.
Jared, clearly, you have lost your fingertip grip on reality and have descended into an abyss of irreversible lunacy.
If you post articles, post a link, I will remove them if you put the whole story...too long, takes up too much room on the comments.
Look at the Foley thing, that ultimately cost the Republicans the 2006 elections....
No, your party has been hijacked by smacktards. At the end of the day, that had everything to do with it.
With that sort of think, it leads people to all the exogenous variables that helped to relegate the Republican Party to a minority rather than looking to the rotten core itself.
Jared,
If you truly understood conservatism at all, you'd understand that it is not an ideology but an ANTI-ideology which places faith in traditions, mores and existing institutions and distrustful of abstract notions of liberty and reason.
Come to think of it, modern liberals place faith in their own insitutions (big government, regulation and the welfare state) and distrust abstract notions of liberty and reason. After all, no one sees modern liberals championing the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Progressives wrote off the principles of the Declaration long ago as dead text since it conflicted with their sympathies towards Marxism, socialism and collectivism (sidenote, does Henry need another "ism"?).
Now that you have reshaped our institutions to your own liking ("now" being loosely defined - this has been going on for decades), and turned the Constitution into a shell of the document that it should be, you will employ state coercion to keep things the way they are. Since you know the conservatives so well, you know that they their philosophy, also an emphasis on collectivism, would justify the use of state coercion to enforce virtue or protect traditions.
Call conservatives all the names you want Jared. Not only does modern liberalism shares similar aspects with conservatism, especially those I find undesirable (statism, a secondary focus on individual liberty, womb-to-tomb regulation and nationalism - although the left's goes the other way), you are completely ignorant. Yet, you grace us all with your insufferable arrogance and a self-fabricated sense of moral superiority that could only have been cultivated by the hobgoblins of your own mind (you certainly couldn't have developed such a sense from any sort of intellectual conquest).
Hey, I'm a libertarian so what the fuck do I know anyway?

Don Geekioni
A whole lot more than paintsniffer ever will!
VW
Damn when Geek talks like that I get all....excited.
"Look at the Foley thing, that ultimately cost the Republicans the 2006 elections....
It was the straw, it drove multitudes of Repubs to not vote or vote for the left just to spite the right.
There were so many other problems also. My decision was made long before Mark Foley became a household name. Perhaps for others it was the straw, not for me.
"Pass it around, maybe, just maybe the MSM will pick it up, THIS is actually news, unlike the completely legal firing of some whiny attorneys."
First of all, I'm not disputing that democrats are criminals and get away with plenty, the same for republicans. The whole machine is lubricated with corruption, and I've said that all along.
But for you to dismiss the "legal firing of some whiny attorneys" says a lot about your credibility, Jenn.
Wow.
Dismissing the LEGAL firing of some attorneys? That says a lot about my credibility? Or was it my use of whiny?
Pete, old chap, it's a NON story. Even you have to admit that.
If it's a non story, then why all the secrecy and lies?
Pete, why does congress feel the need to investigate a legal action? The only crime might have been a momentary lapse in proper procedure - fine - that should be up to the President and the AG to fix. The president should havve just played Trump and said "Youre fired!" Nothing more would have needed to be said.
The Dumbassocrats are accusing the administration of playing politics. True enough - no more or less then these idiots trying to make hay out of all the BS.
VW
If it keeps congress from passing any more laws, investigate away. The last thing we need congress doing is passing amnesty, universal poverty opps I mean healthcare, and tax cuts for the not-working.
You're partly right, though. It would have been a NON story, not because he fired the eight U.S. attorneys (who serve, by the way, at the pleasure of the president), but because he was politically inept and got caught in a lie when asked about his role in the dismissals. It wasn’t a lie under oath (not that that matters much any more in Washington), but a lie nonetheless, that has damaged his personal credibility and that of the Department of Justice.
Throw in the torture and spying thing, both of which Gonzo's green-lighted, and you have a joke of an attorney general.
They have no choice but to get rid of him now. All he had to do was have some balls and say, "yeah, I fired those assholes," and he'd be golden.
Damn Pete
He's a lawyer, he cant say anything concise and certainly nothing truthful.
"More typical corruption on the left....."
Wow, now that's a laugh. Pot call the kettle black or what, lol!
"Wow, now that's a laugh. Pot call the kettle black or what, lol!"
Uhh no ... it's an example of democrat corruption that you'll probably never see mentioned in the MSM. Democrat corruption is routinely covered up by the MSM ... and you don't seem to care.
Baloney.
Damn... always guaranteed a laugh from the freaks here Jenn. Talk about going on the defensive - sheesh.
And just a few short days ago Sen. Feinstein was chiding Alberto Gonzales, claiming he had "lost his credibility".
The irony is thick here.
Please join me in lobbying the major news outlets to recognize that this is a far bigger scandal with much greater consequences than the attorneys being fired.
And Kelly the saddest thing is not one really condemns the corruption within their own.
I lambasted Cunningham, and he wasn't even as bad as Feinstein. He took some bribes, yes, she directly diverted the money into her own account. Bitch.
I'm with you Magnus.
"Damn... always guaranteed a laugh from the freaks here Jenn. Talk about going on the defensive - sheesh." --
Kelly
Precisely what I was thinking as I waded through the rambling, illiterate, incoherent rantings of, "JARED."
The, "You guys do it too," defense isn't cutting it.
I was watching the video this morning of Rosie O'Dumbell. (See HotAir if you have the stomach for it)
What REALLY struck me, was how she had such a problem with characterizing one side (Iran and the U.S. and Brits) as, "good," and one side as, "evil." Apparently, in her world, Bush is no different than Ahminadinnerjacket.
Even Joy Behar, who hates Bush as much as Rosie, called her on that one. She said something along the lines of, "This guy IS a bad guy. He has openly vowed to destroy Israel." Rosie just blew her off, and continued on her tirade. It's truly amazing how stupid some of these lefty freaks are!
It is not illegal
It is UNETHICAL. Clinton's attorney general did not orchestrate firings, clinton's White house advisor did not orchestrate firings either... It is unethical and YES unethical activities can lead to impeachment, such as Nixon, did nothing seriously illegal, rather UNETHICAL.
spin it anyway you want
The firings were politically charged and orchestrated by Rove and Gonzo
Your spinning it, only cements the right wings irrelevancy
bububub clinton!
The unethical firings of US attornes spearheaded by the tops of the executive branch as in the president's top aide KARL ROVE, is 500 times bigger than a DLC hack like Feinstein and her conflict of interest, especially since Feinstein acknowledged the wrong doing asnd corrected it.
You hacks are so desperate and irrelevant, you just do not get it.
These unethical firings are indeed ground for impeachment, as per James Madison. It dos not have to be illegal to be impeachable.
spin away
clinton clinton clinton
America gets it
Cons don't
and this is why you are irrelevant, you freaks have no credibility
Once more, if we are so "irrelevant' why ever do you bother?
You've been spanked so many times it's not funny and yet you continue to post your mad rantings like a 13 year old. No way are you in your 30's you act, write and talk like you are 13.
I mean you don't even seem capable of forming coherant thought let alone a coherant argument.
This is all I see when I read one of your posts :
Blah,blah,blah,blah,blah HACK. Blah,blah,blah,blah no credibility, HACKS. Blah.
Weak. You most obviously never won a prize in debate.
"What REALLY struck me, was how she had such a problem with characterizing one side (Iran and the U.S. and Brits) as, "good," and one side as, "evil." Apparently, in her world, Bush is no different than Ahminadinnerjacket."
I just watched a really great video that provides an excellent explanation for that. I encourage anyone trying to understand what's going on with the cultural divide taking place in America to see this video.
I've seen it Henry ... it's great
Here's what I wrote to my local paper:
"Hello,
Senator Feinstein recently resigned her position from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.
http://tinyurl.com/2f3vls
In light of the revelations that her husband owned two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Senator Feinstein, and also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases—often without the benefit of competitive bidding—to the Department of Veterans Affairs, it seems something inappropriate was going on.
I'm having a hard time understanding how the resignation of a high profile Senator sitting on one of the Appropriations subcommittees, especially a Senator from our own state of California, is completely ignored. I couldn't care less whether it's a Democrat or a Republican (we all know that personal and professional corruption runs deep on both sides of the aisle), I would just like to see news of this type in my local paper.
I would appreciate it if someone could reply to me with an explanation as to why this story was never mentioned in The Star.
Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Everyone feel free to use it as a template for complaints to your own local media.
Good letter Henry. I'm not betting on you getting a favorable response.
On another note, Evan Sayet, the speaker in your clip has a blog ...
http://sayetright.blogspot.com/
Thanks darwin, I was visiting Sayet's blog the other day.
If I get a response from my local paper, I will post it here.
