Why does the blood drain from their faces when "subpoena power"

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

is mentioned? The only person more concerned with the ramifications of "subpoena power" than the Republicans is Tony Soprano. Why are they using it as a rallying point with their base? What are they so afraid of?

[Vincardog]

1. They are afraid that we will ask questions. and force them to answer under

oath

[acmavm]

2. Why? For the same reason Dracula would be afraid of anyone with

a hammer and a wooden stake.

[MrBenchley]

3. Their base knows what a bunch of crooks they were

and thought it was funny that they were dishonest.

[Olney Blue]

4. If innocent, they would be unafraid. They are going down.

[dogday]

5. In this case, the truth

is not going to set them free, but expose them as crooks and lock them up.....

[fooj]

6. They are afraid of TRUTH...

Truth is our most powerful weapon.

[Incitatus]

7. They are afraid that when the truth comes out another Republican

president won't be elected for 100 years.

8. Because "they" have been stealing elections and "they" know it.

Ohio did suddenly change over million votes and go for Bush.
Alaska still will not come up with the data from the 04 election.
In Indiana 8 counties flipped the vote for President to a third
party person if you voted a straight dem party ticket.
In Florida 2000 one diebold machine gave Al Gore a negative
16,000 votes because of a faulty memory chip?
In Georgia why did Max Cleland go from 8 points up to loosing by
6 points?

10. Personally, I would love to subpoena the cabal in Ohio who locked

themselves in a room and said there was a terror alert. Remember that one?

12. I live in Columbus, OH

I remember all too well .... al Qaeda wanted to attack King's Island in Warren County :rofl:






Nice report on the ballots from that county

9. they are criminals

they have committed countless capital offenses

[BR_Parkway]

11. Well, if they have nothing to hide.....

13. Mathews and Russert always whip out this phrase and of course

they usually combine it with "pay-back". So their chant is Dems- subpoena power - payback. If their guest is a Republican they usually blanch and go speechless (the horror, the horror). If the guest is a Democrat they earnestly deny any craven desire for payback (as in Clinton).

I have no desire for payback to take any revenge whatsoever for the Republicans crass behavior during the Clinton impeachment. The American public was smart enough to see through all the grandstanding on their own. But, I absolutely desire a full and complete investigation of a truly criminal and corrupt administration. I do want justice administered so that we can be spared the like of this again for at least another lifetime. So, no to "payback", no to "revenge", yes to "rule of law" yes to "the Constitution" yes to "checks and balances".

14. This morning I will pay particular attention to the Sunday talking heads

and count how many times they use this phrase - just for fun. MTP will be up first

[leesa]

15. And what kind of base people are these that they should fear investigation

into these activities...aren't they the morality party? What's the fear?

[wellst0nev0ter]

16. By The Time It's All Over, The Constitution Party

will be their only choice.
