Stop the torture Debate already, call their Bluff, Investigate!

Republicans led by Cheney want a torture debate. Call his bluff! He says he wants all the torture tapes made public as he wants you to think if they are they will vindicate him. He stupidly thinks he is being brazen and as a result of being in your face people will back down and say it is not worth it, forget it. It is worth it. Call his Bluff! While they are at it they should do an analysis first. It will save them the time and trouble. Do a simple comparison between those that were tortured and those that were not. Compare the information they divulged and determine if it was actionable or truthful. Any way you look at it they did not make a single arrest based on the information they gleaned after all these years of great success by Bush and Cheney!

Once again these idiots are trying to intimidate and control us. Call their Bluff. Give them enough rope to hang themselves and they will. Cheney just wants us to get hit again. Anti torture McCain is against torture but is backing Cheney's stand. McCain should step up instead of backing McCain as that makes him guilty too. It is out and at this point it is indefensible. Whenever we are hit again and we will be as far as I am concerned it will be exclusively Cheney's fault. He has goaded it at the very least but you know he will blame it on Obama and simply say I told you so.

If he really cared he would seek an audience with Obama and explain his views on success and how to proceed. Obama could take it in and regurgitate it if he wanted. He could take it or leave it and Cheney knows it is counter productive and Obama would ignore any direct advice from Cheney as he does the advice Cheney gives in his admonitions to the MSM to try and destabilize Obama and make him fail. I know Cheney's motive but what the heck is McCain's? He sad when defeated that he would support his President but who is that? He seems to be just one more Republican who wants to block Obama and keep him from being popular but as it seems I say every day now, they will all fail.

At this point I think Obama is right to personally stay out of this and let Holder take control of the issue. I am beginning to trust the man and unlike Bush's AG who did everything Political so Bush could prosecute his mess unimpeded Holder is going to be apolitical. He will do the right thing for the Constitution not for Obama's gain and let the chips fall where they may. Holder will find the truth behind this torture history as if we ignore history we are doomed to repeat it. Bush the idiot was fond of saying that while in every instance ignoring all history so he could worsen it exponentially as he has done in every instance.

Any way you look at it there was torture going on. If what was going on was so legal Republicans would not be trying to spread blame to the Democrats to share the blame. If it was so legal there would not have been torture memos in the first place. Gee I have to laugh! It just dawned on me that this is the first time since the advent of Bush that Republicans have wanted Bipartisanship in anything. They want to spread the blame isn't that cute? How Republican! Just take the credit for your efforts and let the chips fall where they may. Burn those fascist scum!

I Just heard Senator Arlen Specter just switched to the Democratic party wow that is big. Damn I wish they would all jump ship. Come on! This is cataclysmic for the Republicans. With Franken that gives the Democrats their 60 seats. Yahoo a filibuster proof majority. Now we will get things done. Republicans were going to make him pay for voting with Democrats on the stimulus. Well I guess he showed them. Specter knows the Democrats are doing the right thing for America and Arlen wants to be on the right side of history. I am psyched, I did not expect this.

Anyway back to the Fascist party! Speaking of that, Sean Hannity who is a main stream hard core fascist Republican Backs Cheney and his torture agenda. He is a Republican extremist to the nth degree. I heard that, that mindless slime had volunteered to be water boarded. Of course knowing the standard mouthiness I believed it right off the bat. Hannity made that statement in front of millions including an audience of veterans and their families. Hell I saw the clip, now he is hiding and for good reason. He said that to the head of the military's SEER school (survive, evade, escape, recover) Big mistake! Mike Ritz a former SEER school instructor to water board Hannity. He said I guarantee you water boarding is torture and I can even get Hannity to say I love the Keith Olbermann show. I would pay to watch that and then slap the idiot silly. Enough of these scum, enough, and they just keep getting worse!

Amidst the days supply of MisAdministration lies Bush only concentrates on ridicule to get his way, what a child!

First I have to say since he is rife for pulling childish tantrums I wish he would hold his breath and take his ball and go home while we still seem to have a country to save. Anyway I was going through the daily supply of lies and MisAdministration cover-up stories and decided to talk about the latest supply.
Now today's dose: First story I go to shows The Bush administration's antiterrorist surveillance efforts are more extensive than top officials have acknowledged, going beyond the controversial no-warrant eavesdropping program, the U.S. intelligence chief said Tuesday.
In a letter defending the embattled attorney general, National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell states that eavesdropping is just one of the programs President Bush authorized after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. "This is the only aspect of the NSA activities that can be discussed publicly because it is the only aspect of those various activities whose existence has been fully acknowledged," McConnell wrote. Give Gonzo sympathy he's over worked, what?
The letter was requested by Sen. Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, in order to clarify the accuracy of Gonzales' testimony. Specter told CNN's "The Situation Room" that McConnell's letter will require further interpretation once he receives an accompanying letter from Gonzales. "If he doesn't have a plausible explanation, then he hasn't leveled with the committee," Specter said.

I mean come on! At this point they really can't really think they will get an honest or plausible answer out of anyone in the Mis administration can they?
Then I saw the story on Rummy the Dummy lying about there being no cover up on Tillman's murder. I mean come on, are we all stupid or something? Of course this was another cover-up! Cover-up is not the question but always how far up does it go?
Taking the hit this time, Lt. Gen. Philip Kensinger, whom the secretary of the Army censured Tuesday for his handling of the military's investigation into Tillman's death, was invited to testify but Rep. Henry Waxman, the committee's chairman, said the general had refused to appear and had been subpoenaed but couldn't be located. Kensinger's attorney said he was away on business. Away on business! If that was you or I we would be in jail.
"He declined the committee invitation to testify two weeks ago, so it was no surprise to the committee that he had no intent to participate in a hearing that is all about show and no substance," attorney Charles W. Gittins said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
Rumsfeld: No cover-up in Tillman's death - CNN.com
I am sick of this arrogant ignorance! It is all show and no substance because that it the way this Mis Administration wants it to play out for their Political favor.

Then after all the crap and obvious lies we have been hearing from Gonzo we hear this: With potential perjury accusations hanging over him, embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales sent a letter to Senate leaders Wednesday acknowledging he "may have created confusion" in his previous testimony. May have? You mean purposely did create confusion. It has always worked in the past for Bushco.
He stupidly said he did not mean to mislead senators and was "determined to address any such impression." He is feeling the heat that is all otherwise he will only continue lying as usual.
In a two-page letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales defended his testimony while conceding he was not clear when he described highly classified National Security Agency surveillance activities. "I am deeply concerned with suggestions that my testimony was misleading, and am determined to address any such impression," Gonzales told Leahy.
Gonzales to senators: 'I may have created confusion' - CNN.com
Make him stop the BS. He is the attorney General, he knows how to be misleading and how not to be. He is deeply concerned because he is digging a deeper hole.

Then we hear from real decider the ignoramus Cheney who Tuesday dismissed congressional investigations into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys as "a bit of a witch hunt." He ignorantly Calls it what he wants but again, Bushco has turned this into a circus to hopefully be turned against us and used to their Political favor. Cheney says their is no wrong doing and as usual these idiots will continue to say that until they are caught red handed. Even then they would claim it a frame job and get away with it. I hate this lying underhanded BS.
The worst part it was he had the gaul to say: The president feels strongly -- and I do too, I agree with him -- that it's important for us to pass on these offices we occupy to our successors in as good a shape as we found them. And that means protecting and preserving the integrity of those processes," Cheney said.
Cheney: Congressional probe of attorneys' firings 'a witch hunt' - CNN.com
How can he say that with a straight face or whatever he calls that? Look what they have done to the integrity of the two top seats in the land? This is just stupefying!
Then the Judiciary Committee scores its first Public interview with a Bush aid or so they think.
The session with White House political aide J. Scott Jennings yielded little more than an appeal for sympathy and a citation of Greek mythology. Sympathy again, what the heck?
Meanwhile Rove's has been given absolute impunity to ignore any Congressional oversight and freed to continue to lie unabated. With top presidential aide Karl Rove skipping the hearing on Bush's orders, the committee had to make do with a Rove underling who made clear he was appearing only to signal goodwill and to avoid a contempt of Congress citation. Goodwill my rear!
Anyway Jennings bore nothing: "I will be unable at this time to answer any questions concerning White House consideration, deliberations or communications related to the U.S. attorneys matter," Jennings, deputy director of Bush's White House political shop, told the panel. He made that assertion after initially noting at the outset that he is only 29 years old. Poor little baby, who cares how old he is?
Anyway The committee has heard all of this before: Jennings' former boss, Sara Taylor, took a similar approach last month when she testified with a lawyer by her side and for several hours tried to pick and choose which questions to answer and which to refuse — citing executive privilege.

Finally amidst all this underhanded lying rear covering all the chief idiot can do is find time to ridicule. Unbelievable! Bush ridiculed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday for saying that the $22 billion that separates Democrats in Congress and the White House on spending bills is a "very small difference." I have to tell you when you compare that to the estimate $trillion dollar cost of waging an illegal war in Iraq and he trillions in debt, $22 billion is small.
Anyway undeterred as usual by his obvious game playing he went on to say: "Only in Washington can $22 billion be called a very small difference," Bush said after meeting with his Cabinet. Bush's tough talk in the steamy Rose Garden was his latest attempt to frame his side of the debate with the Democratic-led Congress over a dozen spending measures needed to fund federal operations after the current fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
The president knocked Democratic leaders for planning to send Congress into its summer recess for a month starting this weekend without sending him a single one of the bills. That gives lawmakers very little time after they return in early September to get the spending bills passed.
"If Congress doesn't pass the spending bills by the end of the fiscal year, Cabinet secretaries report that their departments may be unable to move forward with urgent priorities for our country," Bush said. "This doesn't have to be this way."
Lawmakers have increased the president's $433 billion request for non-defense programs by about 5 percent. In many cases, the Democratic add-ons restore cuts Bush sought. In prior years, GOP-controlled congresses denied many of the same cuts. While Democrats tried to downplay the figure, Bush tried to make it sound as large as possible. He said it would amount to $205 billion over five years, which would average out to $1,300 in additional — unnecessary, in his view — spending per second.

I have to believe the add ons are needed and long overdue and that is little Bush that wants to block anything concrete being done to childishly make Democrats look like the problem while once again it is him. All the while his entire Mis Administration continues to lie through their teeth in hopes of Bush continuing his new "dis"order. Unbelievable!
