let's have a fishing expedition to find something to pin on bush!
you know, like the fishing expedition to get clinton in some trumped up scandal like whitewater, or paula gate or monica gate, surely somewhere somebody can dredge up SOMETHING that we can pin on bush, surely.

1. No need to fish.
If you don't duck you'll get hit in the head as they jump in the boat.

9. My sentiments exactly.
We just need to figure out how to keep them in the boat, so to speak.

3. It would be like throwing a net in at a hatchery....
November 2006 will determine whether we are strong enough as a nation to reel him in.

4. Do You Think There Is Some Triangulation Going On Here?.....
Fitz working one side. The Abramoff fiasco on another. And the NSA spying on the third side. Ultimately - the walls will come crashing in on *Co. They are getting caught up in their lies. Their apologists are running out of ways to protect them without looking like complete fools themselves. And the American people are beginning to see the light. I really think the big fish on all that is going on is * himself - probably along with Cheney. They need something overwhelming to bring them both down at once. I think there's a move afoot to take back our government - but it needs to be done with such a precision that *Co can't wiggle out of it no way.

7. This might actually work
Obviously real scandals don't work worth a damn when it comes to this gang.

We've got 9/11. Didn't work.
We've got the Iraq War. Didn't work. Hell, you've got a scandal an hour on this, and none of them are working.
Katrina. Didn't work.
Wiretapping Americans' phones. Not gonna work.
The fucker got in by stuffing ballot boxes. That didn't work either.

The guy is a fucking FELON and NOTHING he does gets him run off.

So look. There are seven thousand FBI agents with vast experience in trolling trailer courts looking for women who slept with Bill Clinton. Send their asses to Texas. Start knocking on trailer doors. Start looking at his land purchases. There's got to be SOMETHING associated with the purchase of the pig farm that we can use.

If Bush's affiliation with Abramoff, or Kenny Boy, or whoever doesn't work, I'll take another blowjob scandal. All he's got to be is gone at this point in time.

12. Tried. They were paid off ages ago. Remember the woman he got
preggers and got her the illegal abortion pre-Roe v. Wade? She won't talk. Her friend who knows the details won't talk anymore either. I heard she got a house on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi to shut her up. No one has any proof or details.

We need something current on him, like him doing goats or little boys on the Truman balcony or something.

13. I thought he had an "out of wedlock" daughter or son in Houston, but
the BFEE have paid her off to keep her silent? I read that on DU YEARS ago.

11. My wife needed something to cheer her up
so I called her with the word picture you created:
If someone tells you to fish-you know what to do.
If they tell you to duck-what do you do? How high do you cast?

15. we got way plenty of "something"--idiot even confesses crimes on TV
problem is, there is no government to enforce laws anymore and King George is above the law anyway, so we have no "pins."

17. Hmmm.... let's see....
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 11:51 AM by StefanX
How about this? The guy has admitted on TV that he breaks the law and the Constitution.

Or how about this? He ignored the Aug 6 2001 memo that said -- BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE U.S. That one was kind of a doozie, seeing as we lost a big chunk of downtown Manhattan and the Pentagon and had 3,000 people dead and all.

Or maybe the fact that he lied to Congress about WMDs and wrecked our military so he could schedule a war around election-time and kick a few billion to his war-profiteering buddy Dick Cheney?

Or maybe the fact that he's violated the Geneva Convention by signing off on torture and rape?

Plus that thing where he let his henchman Rove dismantle one of our spy networks that was going after WMDs... isn't that called treason or something?

Of course, there's also that whole thing about rigging the voting machines to steal two elections...

And remember he couldn't be bothered to end his vacation while we lost New Orleans...

Plus there's his past -- the coke addiction and alcoholism till age 40... being AWOL from the National Guard... blowing up small frogs with firecrackers...

Gee, I don't know, anyone else got any dirt on the guy? I mean, all we have so far is treason, losing an American city, losing the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, vote-rigging, and wiping his ass with the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, coke use and desertion... but we need something really BIG to take down a guy who's so popular... I mean, he consistently polls in the high 30s / low 40s... and he has such an endearing faux Texas cowboy accent...

NeocoNazi repubs are in DC at the same time? They said the Snakeheads can move on land. They didn't say they've evolved into Repubs.
