David Boies on Lou Dobbs-no wonder Gore tossed in the hat.

"This will never go to trial...it'll damage the nation too much...no one wants to see this go to trial."

Folks, this is how the vote was lost. This was how our civil rights were tossed away.

maybe worse.

eom

Oh, I see. :sarcasm:

What does Boies have to do with Gore? Involved in the 2000 Selection, was he?

patter we heard from him this evening. He needs to sit down and shut up and let others fight for our nation if he's too timid to do so.

He has been frequently out-thought by night school lawyers who know exactly what it means to try a case outside of the limelight.

I can understand what he said, though, about not going to trial. I suspect that he is right. The administration cannot afford the dirty laundry that will automatically come out. Watch for a plea-bargain, clear indications of wrongdoing by Cheney, a forced resignation by him, possibly Rove, and a whole new team in the VP's office and White House. The bad news is the debt that he owes to the fundie fanatics at the extreme right. If they take over for Card, Miers and others, including the VP, watch out. Syria and Iran will be invaded, at a minimum.

144,000 of Shrub's best friends will be heading to their promised land and waiting for the big cloud to take them away. Unfortunately, it might be a mushroom cloud. (thanks to Condi for making this all possible, including the reference)

they could possibly prevent this.

If not going to trial means the outcome you are proposing, then it would not be such a bad thing. My fear is that it will all just fade away, but reading DUer's comments keeps me encouraged.

He isn't the guy you want on your side.

Then the Republicans deserve it!!!

I will not live nor will I have my children's children
live in this over saturated corruption!!!!

"It`ll damage the nation too much" especially the Red State`s children.

This "bought and paid for" INSINCERE a**hole represented Gore?!? Between his alleged representation and Lieberman as his running mate, no wonder Bush-Co. was able to easily steal the election. :puke:

to "let the system work"

what a POS

Are you judging Boies on the basis of this this statement or all of his work? If that latter, you are not well informed.

Maybe you should turn off the computer and go save civilization yourselves. You apparently know exactly what to do.

How does the trial of Libby get to Cheney? If you think it will, you know a lot more about this than I do (and I've read everything.)

You'd destroy the country for some long shot chance to get Cheney? He is unimportant. Honestly.

We need a discussion in this country on the reasons we were given for going to war. A trial of Libby will NOT go there.

Today was a huge disappointment. I personally think this is the end of it. At least we showed a high admin official is a big fat liar.

Fitz will not bring down Bush. This is not Watergate.

Go have a drink. Keep fighting. Find another way to open the discussion about why we went to war.

Cheney and* and their crew have been systematically destroying this country for several years now. This is worse than Watergate.

but I don't see how the indictments, or Fitz for that matter, get us there.

I just don't see how the trial of Libby opens a discussion on how we got into this war.

Fitzgerald will take care of the crimes he is able to prosecute and facts will come to light in the course of the investigation and be made known to the public. It's up to the citizen to take up the discourse in the public arena and to correct the course of the nation at the ballot box and in through the representatives they elect. The Rs will get slapped down for their hubris and greed, and for their disregard for the rights of the people and the sanctity of the law. This is far from over.

it was his remark that "too many bad things" would come to light in this trial and it would damage our nation. What exactly are these bad things that would be brought to light? I'm sure he must have a clue and most of the rest of the country doesn't. This is what has become of the Democratic party in general and its DLC leadership: government has become so corrupt that it would be totally embarassing to both parties if it were all brought to light. This is only a short-term consideration, these people are only concerned about how we are going to look tomorrow or the next day, not with what is going to happen in the distant future because you KNOW it will all come out sooner or later.

Expose the corruption to sunlight. This nation needs to heal and the only way to do this is to expose the corruption and to get rid of it.

Libby will either fess up to the fact that Cheney gave him marching orders to out Plame (conspiracy) or Libby will go to jail, lose his law license and go bankrupt.

Cheney has his pacemaker set on auto-defib tonight. I guarantee it.

I agree with you David, it would be injurous (not a word - try injurious you moron) to the American public if this were to go to trial. Puke!

but I'm getting this sinking feeling that if we don't hold our mostly - piss poor excuses of Democratic Representatives accountable TO THE PEOPLE instead of the CORPORATIONS, the rise of Nazi Germany will look like a Boy Scout Jamboree when compared to the "death and destruction" that will be unleashed on the world in the not too distant future!?!

Between Bush, Blair and the New "nut case" leader of Iran, we are SO f*cked ... *WE* meaning the non-investor classes within the ENTIRE World Community.

No, I'm making a promise to myself NOT to vote for any Corporate loving Democrat. Some things are more important that Party Loyalty, i.e., preventing corporate fascism and a One World Order. Don't forget that Wolfie is comfy running the WORLD BANK. Yes, we are sooo f**ked if we can't get our message out to the Average American. :puke:

We're Americans, we're supposed to be tough.

Now if I could just get Jack Nicholson's accent.

:raises hand:

Speak for yourself, you incompetent hack. I want a big, fat, public, televised trial. In three-part harmony.

Geezus - some Democrats are listening to THIS GUY? I'm reading this and I'm thinking "Gee, that name sounds familiar for some reason .....". He's around for the money AND ONLY THE MONEY - and his advice just flat stinks. Don't believe me? Just check out SCOX on http://finance.yahoo.com. This guy led McBride right down the primrose path (well, McBride wanted to go there anyway, but Boies did NOTHING to stop him). Send him over to the Republicans where he belongs ..... they're the party of greedy bastards - he'll fit right in.
