The House Judiciary Committee Votes to Hold Karl Rove in Contempt of Congress

The Dems just can't get over the fact that Rove cleaned their clock in 2 general elections. They need to get over it and stop trying to criminalize politics...

What crimes, exactly, is Karl Rove supposed to have committed?  We'l just have to see how this plays out.  Democrats have been trying to criminalize political differences at least since they tried to crucify Caspar Weinberger.

mpress,

It's wonderful to finally cross paths with one so enlightened that they can perceive sadness as simply another state of being. 

Unfortunately, it cannot be considered to be spoken from an enlightened position when the comment is made in reference to the sadness of other people. Sadness brought on by the lying, conniving, obfuscating, dissembling, misrepresenting, mis-informing, dis-informing clutch of greedy, self-serving ultra-nationalists 'serving' in the US government  - such Karl Rove - whose actions have resulted in an illegal invasion and violent military occupation of a sovereign nation, the reduction of the 'Cradle of Civilization' to a bombed-out shell of a looted museum ruled by murderous force of arms, the continued occupation of another ruined wreck of third-world nation, the death of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis, an estimated 4.7 million Iraqi refugees, the eviscerating of US banking regulations that took the legal restraints off of loan sharks, leaving thousands of Americans bankrupt and homeless.

Too list just a few.

It is sad that would prefer to pass off all of the above mentioned catastrophes as smoke-screens set by 'liberals' to salve their sense of pride about not winning the political beauty contests of 2000 and 2004. It is understandable that you would prefer to do that rather than face the Truth about the horrific, disastrous political and economic situation that is the legacy of George W Bush and his administrations, but it is sad.

The 'victory in Iraq'?

It is sad that you actually believe that there is anything remotely close to what might be even loosely construed as a military victory in Iraq - a deplorable military mis-adventure that the Pentagon's premier military educational institute, the National Defense University, called a 'debacle' in its April, 2008 report. I say 'believe' because it must be faith, there being no logical arguement, rational thought process or consideration of substantive data involved.

It is sad, mpress, that you have swallowed the propaganda, hook, party line and sinker and then publically deride folks for not taking the bait. 

'...some of us see it and some of us don't.'

It is sad that you do not see that the clay feet of your 'heroes' are crumbling in a tide of evidence.

What's really sad is to consider the cowards and ostriches in this world who rise in horror when we defend ourselves and our culture but hide their heads in the sand when Islamic fundamentalists use their babies and their women to bomb innocents, cut off people's heads and stone to death their own people.

Now, now, joellerose, 'Don't tread on me' if you please. Cowardice is a pitiable characteristic, I agree.

Since you have thoughtfully considered who the 'cowards' are who turn 'ostrich'  when 'Islamic fundamentalists use their babies and their women to bomb innocents, cut off people's heads and stone to death their own people', perhaps you'll tell us the who the folks you've branded as cowards are.

Then perhaps you'll oblige us by illucidating who we were defending ourselves against by illegally invading the sovereign nation of Iraq? Don't tell me you still believe in the WMD-toting bogey-man?

Peace
