If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in tuscon for you.

It was a political slogan, period.

At any rate, who else where we supposed to vote for, McCain? Lol, and you don't think a similar lawsuit would be used against them? Lol, naivety.

On what grounds ? There is no proof that he or anyone he directed broke any law.

Shoot, you don't need any silly proof of any quaint "law" being broke to throw a fella out. Impeachment's what you do when you just plain don't like a guy.

All recriminatory documents have been "stowed away" haven't they? Transparency gone wild.

We all know that our current Congress are too afraid to take a stand on anything.
Either there is total silence coming from them (Libya) or they deflect to a committee (budget).
By themselves they couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag that was falling apart.

Well apparently he doesn't... Nothing more has come of it.

Actually they can't, but then again reality has left the GOP behind so no one should be surprised that they would be stupid enough to make such statements
