Speaking of "not getting it," I'll say this: YOU are the one who does not "get it." Bush did not "ruin" the country. The current economic recession cannot be blamed on Bush alone (look up Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/Barney Frank/Chrisopher Dodd).
Don't forget that throughout most of Bush's two terms, the economy was doing well... 52 consecutive months of job growth, unemployment as low as 4.6%, good GDP growth, low inflation, etc.
And Bush took terrorism seriously.

I'm not saying I agreed with him on everything...far from it, but anyone claiming that Pres. Bush "ruined the country" doesn't know what he/she is talking about.

Seriously, this isn't even worth debating.

Torture is illegal. Those who authorized or passed down orders should be prosecuted and sent to jail. The lying is just a symptom (because they know that this is wrong and illegal).

Not according to Bush's chief terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke:

Nancy is an ultra-liberal. She will fight the good fight ( left wing-wise ). In other words, she will not resign unless she is forced to. Her goal is to be at the hanging party she is planning for Bush.

Continuation of her witch hunt may get her caught up in an investigation of interrogation methods that have already been admitted to. Retroactive illegality? But, it may not be declared that harsh information getting was actually illegal anyway.

With that in mind, if put under investigation herself about her accusations of CIA untruths, with CIA memos as proof that she was briefed, and if, under oath, she lies about ANYTHING, she could wind up in prison.

And, it's gone too far now. Even if the Democrats would decide to let this thing fizzle out, to hopefully save themselves from legal trouble, Nancy has opened herself up to investigation.

Her credibility has certainly been shot to hell. Many of her colleagues are about to bail on her, to save their own heads.

If she perjures herself in an ivestigation commanded by her President, she will be at risk of living out her golden years in prison. She will still have her governmental health care plan.

Stick a fork in her, she is done.

You have it totally backwards. Look at the records of your liberal leaders. Not anything to brag about.

Sorry even Bush was better then Carter and Clinton. I am not a fan of his at all but he did a ton better then Carter and did even better then Clinton did.

The worse President ever in my lifetime was Carter, followed by George Bush I, then Clinton, then Kennedy, then Nixon.
