Here's the kind of stand up guy your Fred Thompson is

"Thompson tipped off the White House that the committee knew about the taping system and would be making the information public. In his all-but-forgotten Watergate memoir, "At That Point in Time," Thompson said he acted with "no authority" in divulging the committee's knowledge of the tapes, which provided the evidence that led to Nixon's resignation. It was one of many Thompson leaks to the Nixon team, according to a former investigator for Democrats on the committee, Scott Armstrong , who remains upset at Thompson's actions."

So they want to start and impeachment process when the guy has a year or so left in office? Seems like a grandstand move to me, with no real point other than to get his name in the news.

anyone seen fred thompsons wife? :)

There is a good indicator the Dems are running scared. Hasnt even announced his run officially, and already running around trying to dig up whatever they can. They cannot win on their own merits, so have to try to undermine those of their opponents. Pathetic.

If found guilty it could leave a more permanent mark on his presidency, as well as putting up the message that no one is greater than the constitution.

:) Which one? The current or the history? *lol*

Is there an official statement from Bush as to WHY he commuted the sentence of Libby?

sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe the dems have been paying attention to Roves slimy tactics.:thumbsup

I almost forgot about the freedom that pisses me off the most. Funding my fucking Party Poker account and being able to play some Hold Em.

No kidding. Neal Young was singing about impeaching Bush in 2006.

what do the dems have to do with the fact that Thompson was a rat for Nixon, and given his career track record appears to be bought and paid for by the pharma industry? Do you even read what's posted or do you just come back with some random republitard reply?

oh you mean just like your group did with kerry and gore before him. Dont be a hypocrite.

Here's the difference in this case and just about every case between dems and repubs: This is nothing but God's truth about Thompson, whereas the bullshit about Kerry and Gore was all lies, half truths and innuendo funneled through groups specially created for that purpose like swift boat veterans for truth.

Dems are afraid to speak the truth out loud because they don't want to be seen as rude and pushy, republicans make shit up and lie right to your face and never heard of the word shame. Too bad people like stickyfingers aren't smart enough to see the difference.

omg lol Im too sleepy so Ill leave it at that. :1orglaugh:thumbsup

I still like ya though Dig even if we are polar opposites politically. Same way with Tony and many others. Its fun as shit to mess around debating as long as people can keep is cool and seperate. :upsidedow

It is just facts. How is that not winning on their own merits? Was Thompson not a mole for Nixon? Was he not a lobbyist? Did he not vote for the things mentioned? I dont think that is undermining, just stating the career of the politician.

And your party is the last one to talk, just look at the Swift Boat group.

Lets not let Dems off the hook, they have their share of crooks and liars too.

But the parties are different like you say. Democrats are pussies and afraid to stand up to Republicans. They'd rather whine to the media then actually fucking do something about it. They got elected to end the war, they bitched about it for years, but now that they have the power they hide under their desks. They'd rather pander to labor union and unskilled workers then build an economy based on competition and innovation. They believe that making money is a bad thing, that if you work your ass off to make money you should have to give it to those who are fucking lazy.

Republicans are just sheep herders. They spout off a bunch of bullshit on patriotism and a bunch of hicks cream their pants. They aren't as intelligent as most liberal voters, so they blame everything in the world on liberal bias. From schools to media to Hollywood. When they get caught doing something retarded, it's easier to blame it on some bias then it is to take fault. They are better at brainwashing their supporters which can be seen in how they dominate the radio. Shit, they've got 20% of the party to back a career lobbyist who hasn't even declared. They are hypocrites by basing their beliefs on "Christian values" but voting against almost everything that helps the poor or less fortunate. They bitch about liberal leaning media yet don't have a problem with Fox News.

Both parties suck and don't give a shit about anyone here. They'd slit your throats and rape your family if they thought it could get them a few extra votes.

too late in the game.. not worth arguing at this point. end of thread
